It is true the Deu. is not speaking specifically about pants. If the Bible spoke specifically about everything there would be multitudes of "commandments" instead of the 613 "Mitzvah's". God gave the ministry to discern between right and wrong ( Lev. 10:10; Deu. 17:9; Eph. 4:10-12).
God has provided timeless principles to live by, not an encyclopedia list of do's and don'ts. Had it of been, the Bible would have been obsolete decades ago. Instead, the timeless principles help to point those who "seek first His kingdom and righteousness" in the direction of God's holiness not man made feelings. Those feelings are often characterized by the argument that you should "follow the Spirit". This "phrase" provides legitimacy to carnality and seeks to remove the soul from the anchor of God's word. |
