As with thread like this, there are always those that come across as if they have it all figured out. Either those on the liberal side or those on the conservative side of things.
But what seems to be the biggest problem with those on the conservative side, is that they cannot see that they are doing just as the Pharisee and religious leaders around the time of Christ. They had put together a whole book of laws that they felt better defined the law God gave to Moses.
I use the Sabbath day man made laws to describe what I mean. God simply said to keep the Sabbath day holy and rest. Man came along and stipulated what that meant to them. As in how far one could walk, or how many sticks one could pick up etc.
The same thing is being done with
Deut. 22:5, nowhere does God mention "pants" or anything kin to pants in the passage. Only one occasion does God speak of pants (breeches) and that only for the priest, and he gives the reason for it in the passage. Men and women both wore robes in those days. The very reason God instructed Moses to make breeches for the priest should be evidence of that fact.
Trying to prove men wore pants with a couple of obscure passages about Daniel and Jesus does not prove they were wearing pants. And as I said, lets be consistent if you are going to preach against women wearing pants, lets preach against panties and nylons too, for both are split legged apparel.
Oh well I have said my piece carry on.
