See? Pants. It's Bible. |
Job 38:3 (King James Version)
3Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.
That scripture has nothing to say about WOMEN not doing it. It would be the same as saying to a person "take it like a man" today. In other words stoping being a baby and act like a man.
Deuteronomy 22:5 (King James Version)
5The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.
This has nothing to do with pants. Women act and dress like women, men act and dress like men. Believe me I am not going to look good in pants designed for a woman's body.
SO if the above quote insides Timmy's is correct and "gird you loins" is only for men then what do we do with these scripture?
Exodus 12
3
Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:
11And thus shall ye eat it; with
your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD's passover.
sounds like EVERYONE was to gird their loins, men, women, and children.
Isaiah 32
11 Tremble, ye
women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones: strip you, and make you bare, and
gird sackcloth upon your loins.
Now this one specifically states women.
