That is your perogative. teaching principles of divine order is always true.
So you say nobody disagrees with Crossdressing and you don't teach it unless it is in the NT. So teach on crossdressing Prax from the NT with didactic scripture.
no I am not confusing anything. The bible is God expressed and it teaches no matter the covenant.
again... I am discussing Blumes interpretation on what Deut 22:5 is in reference to that it is not limited to warrior gear etc...
really... so show me in the NT distinction taught in clothing since you aer stuck on somehow because a page divide says NT it somewho negates natural law truths.

Ok, Luke,
Where did you EVER get the idea that the OLD TESTAMENT was the rule of living christian life in the NEW TESTAMENT?
You have forgotten the weightier matters of the law,
to have mercy, and NOT sacrifice.
It was the angel of the Lord that told John in The Revelation of Jesus Christ that
the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. Not the testimony of the law. Not the testimony of custom. Not the testimony of sacrificial works....
Those Gentile churches that Paul started in the middle of the book of Acts were a direct result of his being kicked out of local synagogues - the places that couldn't let go of the LAW. He was kicked out of those synagogues because he preached
Jesus Christ as the hope of Israel and resurrection and the anointed Messiah,
for in him we live and move and have our being. We have our BEING our life and breath, in Jesus Christ. Our lifestyle is totally, completely, irrevocably wrapped up in knowing and Jesus in true godly repentance.
IOW,
He is God and we are not....
Don't mistake what I'm saying. I am not saying that a "secondary result" of knowing him will show us the old testament "principle" of holiness for women to not wear men's battle garb. The principle is only found in the New Testament, in Jesus Christ. He is the fulfillment of ALL God as spoken. We are not Lawtians. We are Christians.
We look to
Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, NOT Moses, bless his heart.
All men and women and boys and girls that have obeyed the gospel are cross-bearing soldiers in the army of the Lord. We have all girded up the loins of our minds in service and battle for Him.
God is VERY interested in gender distinction, and gave us His opinion of it in your Deuteronomy reference. It ought to be clear to you by now that we are in a spiritual Kingdom, and unless uninformed are
temperate in all things. We put off works of the flesh (which could include immodest clothing) and then
PUT ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST since we are in the Kingdom.
My point in all of this, which you seem to be missing is this: It is not against Jesus Christ for women to wear women's pants nor to cut their hair. It is not against Jesus for you to grow facial hair or wear shorts. It is not against Jesus to wear Jewelry. Jesus demands a heart of humility, not a proof of sacrifice...I didn't say it. In fact, Jesus was furious with publicans that created all sorts of requirements from the LAW OF MOSES upon believers but wouldn't lift a finger to lighten their load. Where do YOU stand, Luke?
"Oh, I believe the old testament more than Jesus".....? C'mon, man
