Re: More on Skirts
ILG,
Consider the following:
If we follow the course of history and fast forward, what would the future look like?
It would be a future where all clothing is unisex, hair length/styles are unisex, bathrooms and locker-rooms are unisex, (dare I say marriage will be unisex), and would the church be able to define the differences?
The church preaches "principles" of distinction; should not the church define those distinctions between a man's appearance and a woman's appearance when the question arises? Who better in authority than Holy Ghost led, God-fearing, praying men answer such questions?
When we look at the end of thing, we can see the direction it leads.
Consider this logic:
1. If we preached in 1900 that a man should wear pants and a woman a skirt and continue the same message, then despite what the world's fashions dictate, the message would stay the same. (Incidentally, was it a Holy Ghost filled, Jesus' name baptized apostolic who feared God who designed pants cut for a woman?)
2. If we preached in 1900 that a man should wear pants but 2017, we preach that if the pants are cut for a woman it's okay, then by 2050, following the direction of travel, then unisex clothing is okay and there is no distinction.
This is not the infamous "slippery slope" principle, but rather, a logical progression as church folks move their datum with the worlds' sense of fashion.
What do you think??
