Why is it that some here say women are to only wear dresses? Is it based only on appearance? I know that men are not to appear as women and vice versa but most ladies I know wear pant and DO NOT look like men in any way. What about practicality? If it is absolutely neccessary(for safety,etc.) would that make a difference?
Like I said before, I know many women who wear pants and do not look like men. However, the opposite would not be true. A man wearing a dress would be a man trying to look like a woman in my opinion. Although what about the scottish highlanders and kilts? I have watched highland games on ESPN but I can honestly say I don't think any of those guys look like women....at least no woman I would want to know...LOL!

Hi Jim - This "rule" is based on a misinterpretation of Deut 22:5. "A woman must not wear men's clothing, nor a man wear women's clothing, for the LORD your God detests anyone who does this." The actual Hebrew word for "men's clothing" actually tranlates to mean "armor." Here is a better translation - “The woman shall not put on [the weapons/armor of a warrior], neither shall a [warrior] put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.”
Hope this helps! - Pastor Gary

At another forum I used to go to there is a topic about clothing but with the subject of men's desire to women and the way they dress.
There was a video in the post that was very good..
It brought to mind how easy it is for men to have lustful thoughts with the way a woman dresses.
In this way that a woman dresses sometimes whether intentional or not can bring a man down in his walk with God.
Now finding out that it can be vice versa also.
Women should be dressed without being revealing to make a man stumble in his thoughts and like wise for men to do for a womans walk.
Like I said sometimes it is intentional the way people dress because they want the attention to be drawn to them.
As far as the pants goes I don't think a woman would look good in a mans pants but should wear womens pants.. and I know of a man that secretly does put on womens clothes and pray in my heart for him that he has stopped.
So my say on this is women stick with women clothing and men stick with men clothing.
The only question is would it be the same thing as far as a man giving his coat to a woman to wear if they are cold the same thing?
