The clothes you wear

March 18, 2008

Deuteronomy 22:5 CEV
(5) Women must not pretend to be men, and men must not pretend to be women. The LORD your God is disgusted with people who do that.


Gender identification is an important thing in this verse. We can use this verse to say that woman are not to wear pants, but look back to what they wore in that day. Men and woman both wore a garment that went over the head. Pants did not come in till much later.

What is talked about here is the fact that men are to be men and woman are to be woman. That is not to say that we can not get in touch with our opposite gender, but if you are a man, you are a man, and likewise woman. Do not try to make yourself to be something that you are not. God made you what you are and He knows best in your life. Stop trying to be something that you are not.
