Skirts, Pants, and Deuteronomy 22:5

[STEVIE]

I'm only concerned from the neck up these days.
The rest will be determined for me whether I like it or not, apart from my dress sense that is!
Can we now, I beg of you, put good old AV Deut. 22:5 away and never to be mentioned again.
Thanks
Steve.

Seconded, heartily. That's an old chestnut that desperately needs to be expunged from the lexicon.

Like men and skirts becoming a "thing", not anytime soon, I'm afraid.

My experience with my wearing dresses is people treat them as just another type of garment as it's no big deal at all. Aside from the occasional compliment from women, people don't seem to notice what I'm wearing at all.
Thus I feel Deuteronomy 22:5 makes as much sense for modern society as Deuteronomy 22:12: "You shall make yourself tassels on the four corners of your garment with which you cover yourself." (NASB).

[STEVIE]

And there endeth, the umpteenth lesson!
Or, is that just too much to hope for?

I was not aware of that Deuteronomy — sounds more like my cup of tea

I thought of that in church this morning. I had tassels on my garment, so if anyone spoke up about my skirt I'd ask about their lack of tassels.

Seems it will take some miracle to see an end to this.
Steve.
Someone surprise me with a Revelation please.

Wrong Book, but how about: Duet 2:3 Long enough you have been skirting this mountain; turn yourselves north,

[STEVIE]

Ye Gods, just give it up please.
This donkey has been dead for too long, let it rest in peace.

This was an interesting thread to read through. I wrote an article summarizing Deuteronomy 22:5's "translations", and the options Christian men have for wearing skirts, based on their take of it all:
https://everybodyskirts.com/blogs/posts ... ear-skirts

It would have been better article if it show how man's interpenetration of Deuteronomy 22:5 is in conflict of rest of the Bible. This would get everyone attention better. Considered that fact man is adding to the Bible in violation of Deuteronomy 4:2. From the pulpit clergy is adding their personal opinion to Deuteronomy 22:5. Nothing in the Bible defines what is women's or men's garment. Man decided to inject what is men's garment and what is women's garment. It has been preach by churches that dresses and skirts are women's garments must be worn by women only and pants is men's clothing only and be worn by men only. This is still being preach by churches as Jehovah Witness today. By this it is declared how all pants are men's clothing regardless what is printed on label. A man could buy a pair a paints from women's aisle even if the pants had big gold label saying Princess's Pants that can been seen far away and clergy will ignore it. For The clergy will only see men's pants and the label has no meaning to them.

When it came upon Jesus crucifixion man made his opinion known that Jesus was guilty of Blasphemy and should go to hell for his crimes. Come every Easter churches will preach how men's opinions are worthless in determines who goes to heaven to hell about Jesus's crucifixion. And today clergy will preach how their opinion matters who goes to heaven or to hell with which garment what men and women have to wear. There is nothing in the Bible that fully define what is men's garments and what is women's garments. Man claims the right to in defining what is men's garments and women's garments and who have to wear what in order to get to heaven. Are they not claiming be God? Are they not engage in committing Blasphemy as they having full authority in such matters. God never gave man the authority to declare what is men's garment or what is women's garments and who have to wear what to get to heaven.

You have to question how man has the right insert his opinion when it comes to Deuteronomy 22:5 and turns around and announces he has no right when it comes about how Jesus was crucified.

Then there is how man comes in and raid the closet and relabels your clothes with his labels and hands them out to opposites sex, as he claims you have no right to certain garments. The Bible is clear about the thief and to watch out for him. Today to many clergy works as a thief as they try to steal individual garments they don't approve of and try to hand them out to the ones they approve should own them. Today clergy is no more than a thief who wants to take fellow man's garments and hands them out to someone else and claim it being done in a Godly manner. My Bible tells a different story about thief. To many clergy today seems to think they can steal fellow man's garments and redistribute to others as their wish. The clergy is stealing man's dignity from wearing dresses or skirts. To many churches believe they process the right to remove man's dignity of what attire he can wear. Churches de-humanify any man who wears dresses or skirts. We need to called them out for what they are, thieves.

Who cares what churches think?

Who cares what churches think?

Far too much by too many, if this thread is anything to go by TB.
Earnest and sincere plea, lock this down, delete it, I don't care!
Make D22:5 as taboo around here as the N word is in modern society.
Anyone who feels similarly, add here.
Feel differently, confine yourself to a PM group, the rest of us Heathens will sacrifice things in your honour.
Now I must go sacrifice some prime meat to ensure an auspicious outcome.

I agree. Can we please stop the religious chat. For those of us who are not religious, it gets very tedious indeed.
