So the bottom line is, y'all don't actually know WHAT the verse means, nor how it could be obeyed - or disobeyed - today, so it's just yet another text of that old dusty Bible that doesn't really have any relevance to today.

Funny how the gang that feels the need to "be relevant to people today" have, step by step over the years, destroyed any relevance they might have had.

When is the last time you obeyed verse 6 and 7 or preached hell fire from verse 11??

I've never taken a bird and her eggs or babies together for food.

I don't wear linsey-woolsey.

Neither passages say anything about hellfire.

Do you pride yourself on not obeying certain commands of God?

Maybe you need to read those verses more carefully.

6 If a bird's nest chance to be before thee in the way in any tree, or on the ground, whether they be young ones, or eggs, and the dam sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the dam with the young:
7 But thou shalt in any wise let the dam go, and take the young to thee; that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days.

Nope, never done that.

11 Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, as of woollen and linen together.

I'm good on that one, too.

Perhaps you need reading glasses?

Contacts, maybe? Magnifying glass? Old fashioned spectacles?

These are just my thoughts on the verse, I'm not saying that I'm an authority or anything. But it appears that the Canaanites and pagan cults around Israel would wear the opposite gender's attire during their revelries and ritual debaucheries. These festivities were filled with drinking, perversion, and sexual indulgences that included acts that were homosexual/lesbian in nature.

It appears that God gave a general command that would condemn any and all gender-bending, cross-dressing, behaviors and/or practices, rather they be part of idol worship or not.

In today's world this behavior/practice isn't associated necessarily with what is understood as classical idolatry. However, in nearly every city in the Western world there is a subculture filled with drinking, dancing, carousing, perversion, pornography, homosexuality, and gender bending "drag shows". I believe that this command speaks to these modern practices of perversion as well as the ancient paganism of the Canaanites.

Deuteronomy 22:5 King James Version (KJV)
5 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.

I don't believe that the text has anything to do with forbidding women's pants, or women's t-shirts, etc. It mentions "abomination". It's about a gender bending abominable practice centered around cross-dressing. It is an "abomination".
