Deuteronomy 22: says women may not wear a mans clothing. So what should a woman wear?

LOL, there are lots of crazy things in the bible (such as men shouldn't cut their hair beyond a certain length) but that doesn't mean Christians follow all these rules.
Why do Christians get to pick and choose what parts of the bible they want to follow? I say either follow it all (including this crazy rule) or none at all.

Jesus wore the fashion of His day.
Deuteronomy 22:5 actually says:
The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth 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.
It does not say pants, in fact, there were no "pants" in that day.
Something is pretty severe when it is an "abomination" before the Lord. It doesn't seem likely that pants would qualify!
I think the point is that men and women should be content in how we are created and not strive to take on the role of the other.
For those ladies who take this literally and wear skirts and dresses only, you will get no grief from me about it.

I am a Christian Pastor (some what strict so I am told)...
My wife does not even own a dress...there is nothing wrong with pants and blouse or pantsuits as long as they fit properly.
What people try to use Deuteronomy for is really rather ignorant,, don't they understand that men during that time did not wear pants, it was like a diaper underneath a skirt type outer garmant.

Goddess help us all. That's why pentecostals believe women can't wear pants. Through the years everything has changed including clothes. I am now wearing "girls" jeans. I am not wearing men's clothing. And why don't you try to go around in a skirt all day. It's not fun.

in the beginning I in basic terms love your profile photograph (word the sarcasm) Secondly, do your understand that on the time the Bible became into written, men wore skirts too? Do you moreover mght understand that pants stepped forward as a vogue that has prevented men from nonetheless wearing skirts to right now time? resourceful technologies. look it up. How are you even utilising a working laptop or pc?!!! *************************** Sorry. I had to renounce myself from screaming at you. besides, as for the beard, that became into an element of the Mosaic regulation which became into replaced via the hot covenant ordinary via Jesus Christ himself. particular, he had a beard. It became right into a custom strictly held via the Jews. Jesus, born a Jew, “got here to be below regulation” and he fulfilled the regulation. (Ga 4:4; Mt 5:17) like various different Jews, Jesus became into dedicated to God from his start, via reason of the regulation covenant, and became into below criminal accountability to maintain the full regulation, consisting of the prohibition on shaving the extremity of the beard. additionally, on the time that Jesus became into on the earth, the Roman custom became into beardlessness. for this reason, if Jesus were beardless, he would have been challenged as being the two a eunuch or a Roman. So in case you're claiming that beards are required for men below Biblical regulation, you're in reality denying the covenant instituted via Jesus, and are not justifiably a Christian. G'day!

The Mosaic laws were written for Jews, not Gentiles. I am a Gentile. I wear what I want.
Besides, they didn't have pants back then.

You know that they make pants for women, right?
Men wear shoes. Does that mean women are supposed to go barefoot?

In case you didn't notice, the pants woman wear are not mans clothes, but feminine pents.

I don't think so. . . I wear pants all the time. God hasn't told me anything!
I think what he hates is when we wear things that are revealing or skin tight. It creates temptation. . .
BTW, they didn't have pants back then. Their dress was totally different. What makes pants for only men?
