That the difference between men and women's clothing in Judea and Israel were greater than we could even imagine? That even other groups around the Roman Empire also had strong differences in dress concerning male and female. That in Rome one needed to be dressed a certain way to indicate that status in the Empire.
Even homosexuals and prostitutes were know by their clothing, hence attire of a harlot statement found in Proverbs 7:10.
What culture? The United States? Bosnia? India? When you say modern Pentecostal are you basically referring to the United States?
Do you believe that God doesn't care about differences in attire between males and females. Not even talking pants, but differences between genders? If cultural, let's say United States, then does man dictate to God what is masculine or feminine? Or the other way around?
So who is charge of what to wear?
God or man?
Also culture dictates how much clothes you need in public.
So in your view, how little is too little? |
Instead of being a such a smarty pants about it why don't you share the knowledge you have. I have been kind in my responses and all you have been is condescending.
Yes I absolutely have general knowledge from research I have done in the past but don't recall specifically. Particularly since it has been over 30 years since I was in Bible Collgee. Again you have a very condescending spirit.

Titus2woman on AFF
"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
