Dresses All the Time? Conviction or Command?

  1. Some woman say that the Bible teaches woman should wear dresses, jumpers or skirts all the time.
  2. Yet the word "jumper" is not in the Bible.
  3. Then they take the passage in I Samuel that says " ...a man should not dress like a woman nor a woman like a man" out of context to teach that the Bible says women are to wear dresses 24/7.
  4. They teach shorts are evil, and un-biblical.
  5. "Shorts" are not mentioned in the Bible at all.
  6. "Pants" are not mentioned in the Bible either.
  7. Yet they say a woman is backslidden if she wears pants, shorts,or capris.
  8. "Capris" are not even in the Bible.
  9. Also, they ignore the passage in I Samuel that says " ...nor should a man violate his father's skirt."
  10. If they take the other passage out of its proper context,who is to say they want do the same with this one.
  11. Men and woman both wore skirts in the Bible days.
  12. No one argues they should do the same now.
  13. Why not? In this day, and time in history it is a cultural thing for men not to wear skirts unless they are "sodomites" /homosexuals.
  14. The only exception to this is for Scottish men and women to wear kilts because that is part of their culture.
  15. Reality/Conclusion overall: It is a woman's personal conviction as to whether she wears a dress at all times or not.
  16. It is not a direct command from God and should be interpreted from the Bible as such, or taught that it is.
