And really, unless you are in an extremely conservativve district, maybe one of two or three in the UPC, you could probably get by with being silent about Deut. 22:5. Many do. |
The word "wear" in
Deut 22:5 is particularly interesting, in that, the choice in the Hebrew is the word "hayah", which means, "to exist as".
I find it very, very interesting that the common word, "labash labesh", which in the Hebrew means, "wrap around, to put on a garment" is not used.
Therefore, the deep meaning of
Deut 22:5 is being missed and supported as pants, when it is in fact stressing "homosexuality" which is the abomination.
