Standards of dress

[cast.sheep]

Can I just say that we really need to work on our English skills.  Ha!  Sometimes we sound like a bunch of idiots with our poor use of the English language.  Just sayin'..... (ha! poor use of the English language right there!)

Carry on!

Tithing is the only role that is permitted in some IFB churches if you are a women who wears pants.

See, grace at work. There is no sin so vile that tithing is forbidden for the would be giver.

My SIL couldn't teach SS or sing in the choir because she wore pants. In her barn mucking stalls. Not at church mind you. At home doing chores. She asked the pastor about it and he said she should wear a skirt over top of the pants.

Apparently horses and cattle are at risk of stumbling if a brazen hussy wears pants to rake their bedding.

I didn't realize until my husband and I were talking the other day now bitter I am about how people judge you on your clothes...it's going to shock a lot of people when we get to heaven how that was not important. I know we should look modest and decent. I will not wear things that are tight or revealing..thats me but to judge people is wrong!!I'm just realizing that a lot of preachers preached what they never lived...that is why I don't idolize people ...

But see, that's thing, they are not judging woman that wear pants. They just can't teach Sunday school buuuuuut they can clean the church and be in nursery. i mean hey, God can use anyone even a women in pants can clean the church. Lol!!

Many IFB churches will not let you work the nursery or clean the church if you were pants.

Tithing is the only role thats permitted in some IFB churches if your a women who wears pants.

Deuteronomy 22:5
The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.

In the OT were robes considered a mans garment? Or a woman's?

If I'm not mistaken if a man wore a robe it was excepted within the culture. Try wearing one today, it may be considered a woman's garment in our culture.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Also, not that the women would wear pants to church, I'm talking out side of church.

My SIL couldn't teach SS or sing in the choir because she wore pants.

Granted, I've not been in every IFB church in the nation; but, the ones that I have been in would not keep a lady out of the choir, or forbid them to sing a solo, or keep them from teaching Sunday school if they wore pants at home.

Most churches, including those that have no issue with pants on women, still have a standard for those who "perform" on the platform whether it be in the choir or singing a special. The line is drawn somewhere.

Up to that point she had never worn pants to church in her life (I can't say for certain after that) so there was no issue. In fact it was her honestly asking the question that brought it to the pastor's attention. Then the boom came down. Gotta keep them heifers from seeing a heifer in pants dontcha know.

I respect ladies whose dress standards include not wearing pants.  Especially when their personal standards reflect a sincere desire to do what they believe God wants them to do.

Do you respect ladies who believe that our society is an abomination in the sight of God, because we have confused the gender roles, and express it through cross-dressing?  If, of course, they live a life of good works and charity, and weep quietly in their prayer closet?

To me, to think that a lady wearing a 'pant suit', designed for...ladies.....is "cross-dressing" is like believing the local 7 year old pee-wee quarterback is equal to Tom Brady in stature and skills.

I believe that gender roles are more confused and expressed not so much in dress, but in the home.  A husbands role in the home and a wife's role in the home.  That to me is more confused than dress. 

When those roles aren't defined that CAN divide a home, not if she wears clothing tailor made for women.

Do you believe confused gender roles and ladies wearing pants are cause and effect?

I choose respect and kindness.  The Bible is very clear on that.  And I am not gender confused.  I have a uterus.  It has produced children.

No, roles in a home I believe is a matter of the heart.

My wife wears pants and she performs her biblical role supremelly. I attempt to perform my biblical role as well. Her mother wears pants and and both her father and mother are biblical in their role as well.

The truth is that if I went home and talked to my wife and explained to her that I believe that her wearing pants is not what I believe God has for us, she would start wearing dresses only.

Roles in homes are a matter of the heart.
