Hey down in Fort Lauderdale it's acceptable. Come on down there are teenagers who dress uni sex. There are transvestites who are very accepted down here. There are women down here who look manlier than any man.

Also men who look like women and walk a talk like women.

Now let's talk about culturally appropriate who deems culture man or the Bible?

Man determines culture. If the Bible determined culture, it would have to be very specific about each item we wear and it is not.

FYI- My father-in-law lives in India and wears a skirt at times. He is not a transvestite in his culture.

In India they also walk around naked so ask your father-in-law about that one.

The Apostles commanded the Gentiles coming into the church to get rid of their culture.

Act 15:20

"But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood."


Different cultures dress the way they dress because of pagan practices and throw over from their religion. India is mostly tribal people, and their practice pagan. If they come into Christianity they are to discard those pagan practices.

What about other tribal cultures should they be allowed to keep their nudity, female circumcision, body piercing, body branding, and other totally pagan practices.

This could open a whole can of worms.

Sorry, I choose to believe my husband who lived there over you and he denies the walking around naked.

The Gentiles were not commanded to get rid of their culture; they were instructed to abstain from the things in their culture that were wrong.

Ladies and Gentlemen how in the name of reason can someone respond to the above? Is it worth it? Will anyone care? Say the above three times and click your heels together.

"They were not commanded to get rid of there culture, they were just commanded to get rid of their culture that was wrong?"

Can this be the reason why America is hurdling towards New Age, OSHO movement, Islam, and atheism?

Pragmatist amazing label I think it fits you well.

Lord bless you real good.
