Re: Conservative Camp Meeting, Ventura, CA.06/22-0

Elder Epley, you genuinely and sincerely believe that when a woman wears pants she is "worse than an infidel" and an "abomination?" Really? I mean, beyond you don't see it as proper, or becoming... beyond you don't see it as modest -- you honestly believe Deut was referring to pants??? I respect you a lot, I'm just somewhat astonished that you would truly believe pants are abominable.

Only among ex-Pentecostals and liberal Pentecostals are pants not seen in man's domain. Is it a conspiracy that all the rest rooms are identified by sexes by a skirt and pants? I guess the cons run all the businesses and public rest rooms. It is that simple. YES pants are an abomination. Better be fire proof.

I appreciate the response, but there are still some open questions on the table concerning who defines apparel.

The orginal Ten Commandments were written on tablets of stone. Pretty permanent. But they don't define what is men's and women's apparel.

The New Covenant is written upon the fleshy tables of our heart. Pretty personal. But it doesn't even address the issues of distiction between men's and women's apparel.

When I get to heaven I will be more than happy to have my life judged by the information containted within those two sacred places.

I don't think I will worry overly much about being judged by the information written on the doors of public restrooms. Personally, I think if God wanted to dispense truths of salvific import, he could find a better place to reveal them than those said doors. But, I am open to pursuasion otherwise.

By the way, only certain brands of pentecostals and the groups like the Amish keep alive the myth that pants are for men only. I drop my teen age daughter off at school each morning (she always wears a skirt). I can count on one hand the number of times I have seen another girl wearing a skirt this year, and we live in a very conservative area. I have been awakened to the realization that the culture has changed and bifurcated garments can be worn by both genders.

Why not? After all, both men and women wore robes in the OT and no one saw any problems with that.

You know I noticed that. I even saw a restroom sign uncovered in pompeii and even they had men in pants and women in skirts.

In certain ancient and not some not so ancient cultures the signs on the restroom doors would be pornographic, because nakedness was the general attire of the day. What would define men's and women's apparel in those cultures? As a pastor, I might just be happy to get some clothes on them!

I wonder if we could appeal to bathroom signs of biblical authority to answer our modesty questions also.

Well, that would put an end to the gender distinction problem!

Yes, but we are thankful for the response. I wonder where some of the others are? It is possible that they have, like Elvis, left the building.

I debated this subject VOLUMES with Newman and others until I am tired of debating it. EVERYONE seems to understand pants identify men with the exception of backslid Pentecostal people.
