My issue is with
Deuteronomy 22:5 being used to classify anyone woman who wears pants guilty of abomination. An abomination is something especially detestable to God. An abomination isn't a modesty issue. It isn't a Christian discipline issue. It isn't a carnality issue. It is an ABOMINATION. Sins that are listed as abominations can provoke the wrath of God. An abomination is no small issue.
Yet, those who apply
Deuteronomy 22:5 to women wearing pants tend to talk about having patience and understanding for women who must "spiritually mature" into wearing skirts and dresses. How can one have patience and allow another to simply "mature" out of an abomination? An abomination is a sin that immediately imperils the soul.
Those who apply
Deuteronomy 22:5 to women in pants will then argue that they are not one's judge when pressed. However, if they believe
Deuteronomy 22:5 applies to women wearing pants, God has spoken on the issue, has He not? You're not being a "judge" if you declare that a woman's immortal soul is imperiled should she put on pants.
So, after hundreds of posts wherein they adamantly declare that Deuteronomy declares pants on a woman is an abomination... when it comes to applying their position, they water down the severity of an abomination and begin to treat it like a modesty issue.
That seems inconsistent to me.
P.S.
My first Pastor, Rev. Huss Shearer, used to say that if the Lord returned while a woman was wearing pants, she'd miss the Rapture. He'd also say that if a woman died before renouncing pants, she'd bust Hell wide open. He made no accommodation for what he thought was an abomination. This, while I disagree with his position, is at least consistent.
