Two posts in one day. Aren't you lucky!

"A woman must not wear men's clothing, nor a man wear women's clothing, for the LORD your God detests anyone who does this." Deuteronomy 22:5

Finally! Biblical proof that it is not okay for guys to wear girl-pants! This is not pointed at anyone in particular, so don't get all huffy if you wear girl pants. But seriously. Ew.

Now I read the verses around this one because I didn't want anyone to say "yeah but you totally took that out of context". We've seen that done countless times. Especially living in Aggieland with the shirt that says "I will cut off the horns of the wicked (Psalm 75:10)". Because the second half of that verse says "but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up." I'm not dogging people who wear that shirt, I just don't want people to seriously think that God prefers Texas A&M over that school in Austin. If He did wouldn't we have won a few more football games? ;)

I guess my point is that there's not really a way to take this verse out of context. Check it out for yourself. That's what we're supposed to do. But God's laying out simple rules and instructions for the Isrealites. If you see your neighbors oxen wandering around, don't be a jerk. Get it back to him. If that's too far away hold onto it until he comes for it. Don't cross dress cause I think it's gross. Don't put a donkey and an oxen together to plow your field. They are not bff and will probably just screw up your crop rows.

That's a paraphrase, but close enough.

In conclusion:

Yes....



No...









Any questions?
