Leviticus 19:19
"Do not wear clothing woven of two kinds of material."
I don't want to upset the Almighty and not get into Heaven so is this referring to the same piece of clothing, or can I wear a shirt and pants each made of different materials?
How do I get God to be my personal shopper?

Fireball: so are you saying Jews are the ones sinning for wearing blends?

Christians pick and choose what they're going to follow from the Old Testament because they claim that Jesus "fulfilled the law".. it's not true, but this is how they get around those sticky little wickets.

Most of the Christians here will say you're using bible verses out of context and give you a reason for why some of those things were forbidden (and likewise an excuse as to why they're no longer forbidden). They'll probably also forget to mention how the verses on homosexuality are poorly translated and many biblical scholars have theorized that the verses are actually about prostitution that was used to glorify pagan gods, and another verse used to condemn a same-sex pedophilia type relationship, rather than consenting-adult same-sex relationships that are known today. Typical. Believe me, many people just use the bible as an excuse to live in their out dated traditions. Some people will do anything to find something wrong with homosexuality and same-sex marriage.

Brain you missed the point. Looks like you missed the whole New Testament as well.
Jesus said " I have come to FULFILL the Law".
On top of that, HE gave us 2 commandments in the New Testament that SUM up ALL the Law:
"Love the Lord God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength.."
and..
"Love your neighbor as yourself"
try those clothes on rather than worrying about a single 'thread' you picked.

The KJV (the most accurate)says don't wear linen and wool together. Doesn't say material. And not much is made of linen AND wool. lol. However, it doesn't matter because when Jesus came He broke apart a lot of the Old testament ways when He died on the cross. His Death symbolized a new beginning in more ways than one. Thanks for the question, and have a great day!

mixing of materials when weaving clothe to cheapen the product.....
also could refer to >>being clothed in righteousness<<
old testament laws, rules, regulations.....many of them apply today.....why is everyone trying to throw God's word out the window!!!!
God's laws are for everyone.....it is not just a Jewish thing.....
Christians are under Mosaic Law.....the Ten Commandments , dietary laws.....
Which garment of righteous are you going to pick and chose to wear???

Christians don't live by the Mosaic Law.

it means not to be two-faced when taking it in its full context. don't be a goody-two-shoes at home and then go out and do drugs. That's two kinds of material for ya.

It had its place 3000 years ago... For Christians I think we can say it doesn't apply...
Besides, I like my "swishy pants"... I ain't parting with them.
