As you probably know, "pants" in this country don't refer to underwear. It is interesting, though, the different meanings of words from one country to another.
A soldier in a foreign land one time was in a bar when he saw a woman with her foot in a cast. He asked her, "How is your foot?" The man with her slugged him. It turned out that the word" foot" (or something sounding like it) referred to a very personal part of a woman's anatomy there. :laugh: :eek:
Women in pants

The Hebrew expression called "aprons" means something that girds all around...Hence, it is more like a skirt, a mini skirt at that.

It's so sad some overly vocalized preachers, with no mental self control and no concept of interpretation or history, managed to fool a whole group of people into believing that if women pull on pants, they're being disrespectful, disobedient, sinful, and guilty of some men's inability control their disgusting thoughts (which those type of men will have even if women walked around wearing big square cardboard boxes, they just get to blame the woman if they don't wear cardboard boxes...isn't that handy?!)
And ya know what? Any person who comes on here preaching women must, by Biblical law, not wear jeans, needs to insist men wear aprons only because THAT is what they wore in the beginning. Break out the loin cloths and aprons, men! Then post your photos. K? After all, you'll be the model of how men should dress. -
Genesis 3:21
Vnto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coates of skinnes, and clothed them. -

That's worse than a hospital gown.

LOL to all the posts, LOL@
I just looked at this Scripture......De 22:5 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth <03627> 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.
The word pertaineth is interesting.....

What do you guys think of the Scripture using this word in particular? It seems to be, for the woman, not just clothing...but something more than clothing.....implements, vessels, armour?
I'm thinking this is more a prohibition regarding roles...what do you guys think?

This may be a bit off subject, but when I was little, my family attended a Church of God church that frowned on women wearing jewelry. I'm not sure why they would.
As for women wearing pants, I don't have a problem with that. Pants are more modest than a lot of other things they could be wearing.
Here in Mobile County, a woman got a job working as a corrections officer. She insisted on wearing a skirt becuase she said it was part of her religious belief. However, the rules for Mobile County Metro Jail state that all employees have to wear a uniform (which doesn't make exceptions for skirts). She tried suing unsuccessfully, after she got fired. -

Fortunately our business meeting is fun. :D We have one a year. The budget meeting is even better. I'd bring popcorn but I wouldn't even get the bag open before the meeting was over. For the big business meeting, we have a potluck for 600! Skits, worship, children running and having a wonderful time. THAT'S the way to have a business meeting.
Hmmmm - maybe we're not a true Baptist church?? -
Oh, well, so much for exposing the flesh!:tongue3:
I guess bondage has a way of doing things.:smilewinkgrin: -
Good grief! The female figure is not sinful. Perhaps those who can't handle it revealed in a modest fashion should stay at home or move into a monestary.

no comment! Not worth it.

That's interesting....

But then, this is a softball issue though :) -
Good night, Mrs, Calabash, wherever you are...............:applause:
