    We could all settle this argument once and for all and become Amish. White shirts or colors? :tonofbricks:

    That is definitely a rub for a group of folks that is truly searching for what the Scriptures say, because ultimately there is a right and wrong. What I am speaking of is those that have bought into so much church tradition without ever checking to see if it's true or not. While they wouldn't admit to you they don't value what Scripture says it shows in their actions.

    And it shows in my actions when I disobey what Scripture has said!

    I was not asking anyone to understand grace or to engage in legalism. I was asking folks to consider principles of Bible modesty. Now, if your insulting sarcasm is designed to provoke me, I will refrain from rendering evil for evil, for I already know how that will turn out from previous experience. Your bias against Independent Fundamental Baptists has been duly noted. -- Herb Evans

    If the truth is on your side, don't you believe you can address the issue without calling other people's beliefs names? A man who has a problem with other men walking around in skirts does not a ridiculous position make, but perhaps it suggests that he has a greater heterosexual tendency then the men who are apparently alright with it.

    They are intended to be both as they are that which pertains to men and they display the feminine form in various degrees of tight and various degrees of provocation. Tell me sir, what pertains to men if not pants?

    This is such a stupid answer as it has much to do with this issue. The same fashion industry that brought us women's pants is now bringing us men's dresses. If you are convicted that it is alright for women to wear pants then you better be prepared to accept men wearing men's dresses. If you are not alright with it, then you will need to come up with an argument that does not use scripture from Deuteronomy. Wouldn't want you to become legalistic :eek:

    Thanks! I don't know how long I will be able to stay around if I don't cowtow to the belief systems of the powers that be and refuse to be intimidated by them. Good point! Know this that I am not a member of the Marshmallow Baptist Fellowship or the Powder Puff Baptist Convention. -- Herb Evans

    Never thought I'd hear that from you! Isn't it strange that the gainsayers follow me around on the threads, moderators included? I'm flattered. Thanks! -- Herb Evans

    1. True, but there were distinctions enough to tell the apparel of a man.
    2. True, but it was not a gender distinction and it was not an abomination.

    Rufus_1611 said (o so many pages ago):
    Are you suggesting here that it is impossible to take any biblical word and have sinful thoughts with it?

    Then I fail to see the point of your question.

    Then, I guess you would not be offended at a man dressed in drag or a dress ( as long as the zipper was on the front) for the sake of consistency. -- Herb Evans

    It really shows the difference in how we think Herb, I see nothing consistent about associating a women wearing slacks designed for women and men dressed in drag. I am really glad that my understanding of Scripture is not dependent on your thinking, and I am equally sure you are glad that your's is not dependant on mine.
