Re: More on Skirts

Maybe many of these guys aren't so strict on abominations because they have a few of their own abominations in their closets???

Both historically originated as being male attire. Both were adopted as women sought to "masculinize" their look and attire.

What saith Pliny???

Will Pliny have the guts to take the same stand against women in T-shirts and high heels? Let's see....
I can already tell you what his reply will be ...

"""Another ad-hominem attack."""
"""I guess you STILL cannot find a single godly woman who wore pants... """
"""Okay. YOU have changed the subject."""

I know, he's like a broken record. He's only repeating himself because he can't say anything else. If he does, he steps out of the argument based on mere silence into applied principle. And there, he'll miserably fail.

I did like your post that said that you can't find verses where women wore pants but you DID find some where men wore skirts.

Pretty creative argument...at least in my book.

I have verses of Scripture where men wore skirts. They were men's attire!
You didn't deal with any of the Greek, or Latin, I compared with the Aramaic, but I can see you don't even understand the KJV English of 1611 A.D.? Still, there is no such thing as man dresses, and female pants. What is really interesting when I post the Greek word for female attire it is missed totally? I just pray you don't get arrested when you are looking at women at the mall.

Ruth 3:9
And he said, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thine handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid; for thou art a near kinsman.

1 Samuel 15:27
And as Samuel turned about to go away, he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent.

1 Samuel 24:4
And the men of David said unto him, Behold the day of which the Lord said unto thee, Behold, I will deliver thine enemy into thine hand, that thou mayest do to him as it shall seem good unto thee. Then David arose, and cut off the skirt of Saul's robe privily.

1 Samuel 24:5
And it came to pass afterward, that David's heart smote him, because he had cut off Saul's skirt.
Can you find one where women wore skirts???

1 Samuel 24:11
Moreover, my father, see, yea, see the skirt of thy robe in my hand: for in that I cut off the skirt of thy robe, and killed thee not, know thou and see that there is neither evil nor transgression in mine hand, and I have not sinned against thee; yet thou huntest my soul to take it.

Psalm 133:2
It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;

Ezekiel 16:8
Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord God, and thou becamest mine.

Zechariah 8:23
Thus saith the Lord of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.
According to your logic, women shouldn't wear skirts either!
skirt (v.) Look up skirt at Dictionary.com
c. 1600 A.D., "to border, form the edge of," from skirt (n.). Meaning "to pass along the edge" is from 1620s. Related: Skirted; skirting.


These guys can't provide anything short of nonsense?

Will, listen, people read manuscripts from the Bronze age? Written in 17th century language which hasn't been spoken in 406 years? Yet, they believe the language and the cultures were the same?

High heels? That was stupidly funny.

Thank you. Lol I was just trying to illustrate that Pliny's argument can fall in its logic.

Proverbs 6:18 doesn't say that?

Jesus didn't say that in Matthew 5:28?

Do you use a whip and a chair in your church?
