For 6000 years females wore long dresses, but about 50 years ago Christian women began wearing trousers. Right now, today, a few Christian females sit in slacks at their computers and write about how being gay is wrong because it's an "abomination" (according to Lev 18:22 and 20:13). However --
Deu 22:5 "The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth to a man, neither shall a man put on a women's garments: for all that do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God."
Paul (in the NT) instructs women to wear dresses: 1 Timothy 2:7-9 "Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) ...that women adorn themselves in modest *apparel*" - from the Greek word katastole (used only in this verse) meaning a long, loose fitting garment. Paul continues in 1 Cor 11, via God's will, to distinguish between the appearances of males and females.
How do Christians justify women wearing trousers when both the OT/NT state it's an abomination and wrong?
