Ladies on trouser?

While some churches welcome and promote it, others preach against it. Those who are against it base their stand on Deuteronomy 22: 5, which says: “The woman shall not wear that which pertains to a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.”

Churches, which do not condemn wearing of trousers by women, believe that grace has put an end to such law.

Some people, especially young females, decide the church they will attend based on whether wearing of trousers is allowed or not.

prettyboi1989:

i believe abomination there pertains to homosexuality. during those days there were no trousers. men wore robes, women wore garment. a man mustn wear a garment so as not to look n act lyk a woman. so also must a woman not wear robes for men. its a simple rule. has nothing to do with trousers as there were no trousers when the scripture was made.

smartigo:


. It is becos they are marginal.

livero123:
All I know is that trouser is for men and skirt is for women. And it not right for a girl to wear trouser to the Church. All these girls wearing trouser to church are just here trying to vindicate themselves. know it now that it is a big sin.

jedyjedy:
The Church in Nigeria has left important things to address meaningless issues like d wearing of trousers to church. We should rather think about how to live a worthy xtian life, shinning d light wherever we go instead of tackling irrelevant issues.

softapples:
then can u please interprete the bible passage in the topic for me?

ihedioramma:
brother obey the law.

shaboti:
I dey come.

Deuteronomy 22:9 also says 'do not plant two kinds of seeds in the same vineyard'

Deutoronomy 22:11..'do not wear clothes of wool and linen woven together.

Deutoronomy 22:12.. 'make tassels on the four corners of the cloaks you wear'

Now tell me op, which among these verse do you uphold and obey ? Why have you chosen to be selective?
As christians we have abandoned our primary purposes on earth and we ar focusing on less important stuff.

By the way, these are tassels, tell me how many of your clothes that have them..

pweedyuz:

My dear,,Not that I'm condemning it o buh its in d scriptures....
Go 2 that same deutronomy,,u will c it there

peedeeasobie:




This same misinterpretation you are giving is what most churches are doing.
You cannot choose a verse of the scripture and read your own meaning into it.

Deutronomy 22:5, 9, 11;
Verse 9 says thou shall not sow thy vineyard with diverse seeds- don't practice mixed cropping! Do you keep this law? Never!

Verse 11 says thou shall not wear a garment of diverse sorts. E.g 70% polyester and 30% cotton. Do you keep this law? Never!

James 2:10; if you keep all the laws and you fail in one, you are guilty of all of them!

Deutronomy 22:5; isn't talking about trouser and skirt!

Bible made reference to men wearing skirt...
Deutronomy 22:30... nor uncover his FATHER'S skirt!
Aaron wore skirt- psalm 133:2, Saul wore skirt- 1sam24:11; Samuel wore skirt- 1sam15:27.

Moses didn't wear trouser, Jesus didn't wear trouser. How then could deutronomy be talking about trouser to people (men or women) who never had trouser!

What then is deutronomy 22:5; talking about? You have to read that verse with levitcus 15:19 to understand it.

In the old testament, if a woman has any issue of blood or is in her menses, she is considered unclean and anything she touches becomes unclean, whether clothes, towel, utensils etc.

So if the man doesn't know and uses her clothes or towel or utensils etc, he too becomes unclean!
So, to avoid such mistake of lack of knowledge (because a woman cannot be telling everybody that she's in her menses, therefore don't touch me) God now said, don't wear that which pertains (Hebrew word kelee- meaning article, clothe, vessel, utensils, object,) unto a woman!

That law has been destroyed in Christ! When the woman with issue of blood touched Jesus, she pressed through the crowd and made many 'unclean' but when she touched Jesus, she became clean!

Jesus knew she took a risk because the penalty for what she did was death and Jesus said "thy faith has made thee whole".

I hope this cures this ignorance once and for all!

well i thinks its wrong for ladies 2 put on trousers to the church, but western culture has mislead our women from the true doctrine. "anyways im 1st to comment. "its LADYF husband again.

Omotayor123:
If the Bible condemns it why Do it

Hemah:
The Christian bible didn't condemn it. Who makes trouser a man's garment?

jmoore:
Adam and Eve wore skirts.

Even the Ancient Roman soldiers fought with skirts.

Trouser is not written anywhere in the bible.

The key word is decent dressing, a woman can wear trouser and look decent while another woman can wear skirt and look like a slut.

God does not judge by outward appearance.

misreal:
a WOman shouldn't put on trousers or anything masculine

Some pastor don't understand and can't explain the Bible, they need the holy spirit to guide them. . There is different between pertaineth and belonged, WAT the Bible is saying about pertaineth is that WHEN A WOMAN PUT ON IS HUSBAND CLOTHES AND LATER THE MAN PUT ON THAT SAME CLOTHING THAT THE WOMAN HAS PUT ON B4, THAT MAN WILL BE ON HOLY FOR 7DAYS because THERE ARE SOME DISCARGE FROM THE WOMAN BODY. that is wat the Bible is say in Deuteronomy 22 : 5, ASUME the Bible said belongth that's wen women should not wear trousers or anything that belong to a man and men shouldn't do same. Ok for instance in the Bible Moses wear gowns, Aron do put on skit so wat about that ? But I dnt support indecent dressing to church.

Some people, especially young females, decide the church they will attend based on whether wearing of trousers is allowed or not.

safarigirl:
Oh? So the Scots who wear skirts are committing sin? And Jesus wearing gowns was also a sin? What exactly is 'men's garment' and what is 'women's garment'? And Christians follow the New Testament, stop reading the Jewish laws before you confuse yourself
