They then make a leap of logic. They say that if the high priest wore breeches and the three Hebrews wore trousers, then every Israelite male wore trousers.
They have yet to prove that the average Israelite male wore trousers as part of their casual dress. I contend at the time Deuteronomy 22:5 was written, no Israelite, male or female, wore trousers. |
Both brother Pliny and brother Benincasa have made the following argument:
Only males wore bifurcated garments (breeches) in the Bible. No godly women are recorded as wearing breeches or similar apparel. Therefore, there is no Biblical basis, authorisation, or approval for women wearing breeches or similar apparel (pants in modern lingo).
You have not refuted their argument.
You have presented myriads of anecdotes as well as historical testimony from cultures outside the Bible regarding various clothing styles and customs, but have presented no evidence from the Bible that women either should or could wear breeches or similar clothing with God's approval.
Please pay careful attention to my next statement:
It doesn't matter what my opinion or belief is concerning pants, breeches, or what constitutes men's or women's apparel. The simple and obvious fact is that you have not actually addressed the
actual argument of those you have been arguing with on this thread.
Can you see that? Please try again.
