We must surrender everything to Him; we are not our own, we have been bought with a price. We are to deny ourselves and take up our cross daily.
Gal 5:24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
When we gender-blend we are minimizing the distinctness b/n the sexes.
God wants there to be a distinct difference b/n the sexes - 1 Cor 11 shows this is still true.
1Co 11:16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God. |
Extremely Old Paths,
By your logic here that a school rule from 47 years ago validates a dress code why not go back a little futher to Victorian days?
You won't do that because if you did virtually all Pentecostal women today would be considered shameful and hussies for showing their ankles as they do today. Ankles were considered an object of lust.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
