One Leg At A TimeDear One Leg At A Time,
We are guessing that your question has to do with women wearing pants. The Old Testament gives us the principle that women are to dress like women, and men are to dress like men (Deu 22:5). This concept of men avoiding looking effeminate and women looking feminine is reiterated in the New Testament (1 Cor 6:9, 1 Tim 2:9). In some cultures and time periods, only men wore/wear pants… other cultures have pants that are specifically tailored for women, and it would be quite noticeable and disturbing if men wore them! The key is that men are to dress like men, and women are to dress like women. Men should never look effeminate, and women aren’t to look masculine. Culture and current fashion will dictate the specifics of what we wear, but the principle remains the same throughout all ages.
