The problem that we are seeing in the Apostolic Church is clear cut Biblical requirements (such as men and womens clothing) now being explained away as just man made standards.

I am just confused at why there is not an outcry when a public building enforces standards.
...and in cultures where men and women both wear wraps that resemble skirts?

You mean it's illegal?? What if no one sees you? Even if it's dark and I have to take out the trash?

What about it? Is that the culture you live in?
A woman is not to wear that which pertaineth to a man, neither shall a man put on a womans garment. Very simple.

Go to a public restroom, look at the pictures on the doors, choose the one that resembles your gender, and you will know which culture you are living in.

Don't try to twist the word of God and act ignorant like you don't even know the difference between a man and womans garment.

It's illegal because it is a violation of the law. You are ok if nobody sees you. Good luck trying to get something past God, he sees everything.

My sons always knew the difference between a man's and a woman's garment. If I accidentally bought a pair of girls' pants at a garage sale and gave them to them to wear, they'd freak out and pitch them in the trash! They knew not to wear women's garments.

De 22:5 The 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.

Great scripture ... for the culture of that day? Is that your doctrinal position concerning what you can or cannot wear? Does all of Deut. apply to you? If not, how do you decide which part of it does and which part does not?

Does the following scripture, just one chapter before your favorite passage, apply to you and the church today?

Deut 21:18 ¶ If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them:
19 Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place;
20 And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard.
21 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.

So the picture on the door of a restroom determines the culture of the wearing of apparel?

What would you say if the culture of today said it was okay to wear this or that? Would you agree?

Please show me one scripture in the New Testament where it is defined as to what is a man's garment and what is a woman's garment. That shouldn't be hard to do if it's in there. Again.... scripture that says this is what a man should wear and this is what a woman should wear.

You're painting yourself into a corner when you start depending on the custom of your day to decide your doctrine for Heaven and hell.

The culture could change tomorrow. What will you use for a guide line then?

The truth is when you go beyond modesty in the New Testament concerning what you wear, you're on your own. And modesty is relevant to the times and customs. In parts of the world UltraCon women, UPC women if you will, would be considered to be immodest because their faces are uncovered! And if they are not wearing garments that completely cover their body they are immodest.

What did Jesus say about the way we dress?

Let's see, what was your name? Narrow Is The Mind?

Yes, except that He doesn't mind private nudity either. No need to try to sneak that past Him.
