Ok, I went to a Baptist church Sunday and they said it was a sin to wear pants and to cut my hair. I looked in my Bible and I couldn't find anything.

I'm a "baby Christian" so I'm kinda new to these concepts.

Should Christian Women Wear Pants

There is nothing in the Bible about women wearing pants. First, we wear slacks or jeans that are made for women. Who is to decide if true or not. This deal about clothing has been around all my life and that's a long time. We have to use common sense in everything we do. The clothing issue is a lie from any person, christian or not. It seems the folks in these churches are living or trying to live by man's rule, not God's. I will say the christian who states this if very misinformed.

The fundamentalist view would say no -- based on Deuteronomy 22:5. However, our cultural standards are completely different in this day and age. Women wearing pants is an accepted norm in our society. If perhaps you believe it would offend your Christian brothers and sisters then perhaps don't do it at church (in Romans 14:14, 15 and 1 Corinthians 8:13 Paul establishes this principle, although in these two passages he is speaking about eating meat sacrificed to idols, but one can take this principle out of these two examples). Also there is 1 Timothy 2:9,10, which establishes the principle of modesty in dress. But I must say, I belong to a fundamentalist world-wide church, but in my local church women wear pants. We aren't extremists, nor a cult. But I think miniskirts is just going too far. That isn't modesty -- it's provocation. You church may feel that pants on women is provocation. You kind of have to go with the more's of the church you are attending. But it is true that most people, even most Christians, don't care what other people think anymore, and if you dare to correct them they accuse you of being oppressive (which totally ignores the principle that Paul established in the above scriptures). So tread carefully. Be wise as serpents, but harmless as doves (Matthew 10:16).

1 Timothy 2:9, 10 Likewise, the women should adorn themselves in appropriate dress, with modesty and soundness of mind, not with styles of hair braiding and gold or pearls or very expensive clothing, but in the way that is proper for women professing devotion to God, namely though good works.

In the Bible it does not state word for word an answer to a question that we may have, but there is always a Bible principle, such as the one stated above. The scriptures speaks to a Christian being neat and modest in well arranged clothing. There is nothing wrong with wearing pants that are well arranged and when it's appropriate. Some people suffer from certain illnesses that cause them to have short hair, or some may just chose to wear it that way. So really, a Christian women would make her choices as the scripture says, as one who profess devotion to God. Whatever we choose to wear should be pleasing in God's eyes

I'm not a Baptist, and I do not want to judge these people (I know a lot of Baptists and none of them have ever expressed this point of view). Personally, I do not think it a sin, and you are right to say there's nothing in the Scriptures expressly prohibiting wearing pants. It could be they are taking the gender proscriptions from Scriptures quite seriously and interpreting them in an American context, which is fine (it is open to opinion on what constitutes looking male or female in our society). That said, I don't think that if a woman wears jeans she is somehow or necessarily dressing as a man.

Read a chapter of Proverbs every day. Proverbs has 31 chapters so you can keep your place by just looking at a calendar. There is no religion or nothing in Proverbs and you don't have to believe anything. Just read every day. When you are comfortable with that, then read the bible from Romans to 2 Thessalonians over and over until you start to remember what it says. That is the part that applies to Christians.



Romans carefully explains that sins don't count any more. If your Baptist friends are worried about sin, it can only be that they are not saved. Romans 10:9&10 explain how to get saved, but that's not good enough for Baptists, they insist you have to have a ceremony with water. The Baptists that I have met don't read the bible, they look at the pages and recite their church's doctrines. They can not read Acts 1:5 because it contradicts what their church teaches.



You follow the advice above and you will know more bible than anybody in your church. (Because they don't study the bible, they study what somebody else said ABOUT the bible.)



My advice: The bible says Jewish men should not cross dress because it causes confusion, not because it's a sin.

The Bible is full of contradictions, you can always find a quote for or against what you want to do, (even if you want a slave) - whether or not the quote is out of context is another thing. Lots of Christian women wear pants/trousers, so you are right. Doesn't sound a very positive church if they're giving people hassle over something so trivial to be honest.

I attend a church like that. It is an Independent Baptist doctrine, not regular or Southern Baptist. Lots of denominations and groups have fallen for such legalism; German Baptist, Shakers, Freewill Baptists, Quakers, Amish, etc. Interestingly, my church teaches grace and against legalism. All denominations will have things you agree with or disagree with. The more you know, the more you will realize how petty these things are. Majority of the Independent Baptist doctrine is good. Theres always going to be a trade-off, no matter where you go. So, just go along with it while you're there and wear pants at home. I've been shocked to learn that most of the women at my church wear pants outside of church. Forgive them for their error, there is no perfect church, not until we get to heaven. Don't let their error distract you from the Lord!

The question about whether Christian women should wear pants or slacks is an issue that is raised about externals when the life of the child of God should rather be about a spiritual relationship based upon our position in Christ as believers. The obedience of a child of God is not measured by what clothing we wear but by our walk in the Spirit (Galatians 5:16).



When looking at “doubtful things," we need to use Scripture in context for the principles that will help us walk as believers, which means considering the dispensation and the whole counsel of God and not taking passages out of context. There is a passage in the Old Testament that speaks about a woman wearing men's clothing: "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).The context of this passage is the second giving of the law to the nation of Israel as they were poised to enter the Promised Land. Deuteronomy 22:5 is an admonition not to live as a transvestite. This has to do with more than just clothing; it also speaks of a life that emulates in every way those of the opposite sex. Transvestitism was a practice of the Canaanites, and Israel was to consider it an abomination. We take a principle from this and apply it to our lives as believers, but we must use it in the context in which it is given and do so in relation to the dispensation of grace.

In the Bible, it says we should not dress in the other gender's clothing. However, women wear pants nowadays - different ones then men do, but, pants nonetheless. So, it is actually okay, but, some Baptists have a very strict interpretation of Scripture.
2016-04-10 15:05:22 UTC
I doubt its a sin. If a women wears mens clothing, that would be a sin.

Heels used to be for men so they could ride horses. Women started wearing heels because they started copying mens clothing.



So basically saying that wearing pants for a lady is a sin is like saying wearing heels is a sin.



Im Pentecostal and all the other ladies i know wear pants. My church is kind of conservative, so we wear skirts and dresses to church. But we absolutely dont see it as a sin to wear pants.

I started off at one of those kinds of churches when I first became a Christian. It really messed me up for a period of my life. They have no idea what the grace of God is. I would highly avoid it. Even as a new Christian, I talked to the pastor about how their theology didn't match up with scripture. When I decided to leave, the pastor told me that he would not 'release' me from the church. In my opinion, it was a cult.



They get this from 1Cor11. But if you read 1Cor 11:16, it says 'If anyone is inclined to be contentious, we have no such practice, nor do the churches of God'. So I dont believe it is to be a point of contention. Christianity isnt about what you wear, but about having a relationship with God.



I recently revisited one of these churches, and it was sad to see beautiful women being consigned to having raggy hair and wearing church approved clothing.



A lot of times, it is good to just find a good bible church or even a non-denominational church.

The only objection to a woman wearing "mens" clothing would be if you were trying to actually pass yourself off as a man.



I've been a Christian for a very long time and I "live in Jeans". ... Every day except Sunday.... On Sunday, I wear a dress to Christian meetings. It's just a mark of respect for where I am.

Most women in my Church wear pants and many wear blue jeans! My Church is Baptist and we are laid back as many wear jeans all the time men and women. Then of course there are a few that wear dresses but not many! I have been to a few Churches and seen lots of women of all ages wear jeans and sneakers every week and the Worship the same as one that always wear dresses!
2016-04-09 07:51:15 UTC
They fail to read and Obey ALL the Bible requires! The Bible requires in the very Hot area of Israel for woman to always wear Dresses and men to always Wear "Robe"s! Why don't you ask them why the Men are Not obeying this; plus loads of other things they skip. The Baptist religion is one that will Only use the KJB and claim "If we do not know what it means, then we do not have to obey it. It has over 36,000 words that have been added, removed, or ordered changed to very different words by King James! The KJB even has "unicorn"s and "monster"s in it!

There is a painting of the King and Queen of China from 2,000 years ago, where winter already was and both are wearing silk, quilted, pant suits!

Men wanting to keep woman in pains is sinful! Just do not dress disrespectful! under GOD's roof!

The Christian religion "Messianic Judaism" is Obeying the Bible the closest. Is one of them near you? They even have a few TV stations of their own.
2016-04-11 03:41:44 UTC
AH, that's "pants" as in trousers in the USA.



To a Briton "pants" is one of several words denoting underwear. It is to be hoped that all women except out-and-out sluts wear pants!



Indeed in the times in which the Bible was written (a period of over 1000 years from Genesis to Revelations) dress code was vastly different from that currently in use in western countries. In those times most men in the Middle East wore long robes and similar, which to a modern eye might look like female "dresses". A serious analysis might think that the short tunics of Roman soldiers look like mini-skirts! What does your Church say about male attire?!

2016-04-09 09:18:59 UTC
If women cannot wear pants then does it mean the teaching has been focusing on women/women's bodies? In the actual spiritual teaching there is no such thing as what o wear. This is an absolute insult to women/women's right/women's bodies/women's families.

I am a 77 year old Christian woman and have been wearing pants all my life. To me dresses and skirts are to liable to blow up in a wind and they are also cold on the legs.



All the Bible says is to dress modestly...in other words be well covered. Churches who go beyond this are driving people away instead of drawing them in to be born again.



Here are the Basics.

BASICS

1. Must believe and confess that Jesus Christ is the only Begotten Son of God born of a virgin.

2. He is the only sacrifice for sin.

3. Our repentance and trust in Him is the ONLY way to heaven.

4. He resurrected three days after His crucifixion

5. We must believe that He is coming again as King of Kings

6. We believe that He saves those who ask Him and that is our way to Heaven.



http://www.joel2army.simplesite.com http://www.ufosarereal.simplesite.com



1 John 2:4 He that says, I know HIM and keeps NOT His commandments, is a liar and the truth is not in him.



1 John 2:22 WHO is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denies Father and Son.



I suggest you find another church. The one you are going to is too legalistic and not concentrating on the important things.

Deuteronomy 22:5 reads: “No garb of an able-bodied man should be put upon a woman, neither should an able-bodied man wear the mantle of a woman; for anybody doing these things is something detestable to Jehovah your God.” This text is not discussing styles of clothing. The prohibition concerns one’s putting on things specifically designed for the opposite sex.

The distinction between the sexes is of divine origin and the law set forth at Deuteronomy 22:5 served to preserve that distinction. When it comes to appearance and attire, the usual thing is for a man to want to look like a man and for a woman to look like a woman.

Should Christian Women Wear Pants ?



Ya The god Made you Naked . so like he really cares what you wear



so the God is OFFENDED by Pants ..



Ok lets be clear men have two arms and legs and women have two arms and legs so from the WAIST to the feet its the same accept for how they PEE so



WHY is it OK to show the Shape of the Male leg and not the FEMALE LEG they both have a thigh Knee lower leg ankle and a foot WHAT is different VISUALLY ? NOTHING



. Doesn't sound like something GODS would be concerned about .



so the time From Adam and Eve To Moses what year did they invent the LOOM ?



the Egyptians were WEAVING FLAX in the 15th Millennium BCE



Moses is supposedly 1550 BC to 1430 BC KILTS were actually the Fashion Surprisingly



By 1500 BC Contact with other Cultures (Asian) had taken place and type of Dress were adopted especially for the ELITE and Politically High Classes



I guess all those flowing multiple flowing Robes in Cyril B De Mils Epic "The 10 Commandments " was a Bit exaggerated Only HIGH CLASS RICH people had that not some Fugitive a Murderer in Exile for 40 years that was Herding Sheep



Weaving took a lot of time Egyptians 'NEW KINGDOM" period 1550 BC to 1070 BC



the fashion Craze was SHEAR flowing KILT described as a LONG SHIRT tied at the neck made of Linen SILHOUETTES were very visible especially for women most working people wore LOIN Cloth with LEGS EXPOSED women wore tops many times the legs Exposed its pretty hot in that area 70 to 100 F they really only have two seasons dry limited rain



So If the God tossed Adam and Eve Out on there AZZ Naked do you really think its the GODS who are OFFENDED



The god supposedly WATCHES everything don't worry he see ya naked each morning in the SHOWER and other times so its not REALLY a GODS making rules is it ?



Do you think the GOD was Offended by those bright colored bracelets they had for a while that had the letters WWJD ( what would JESUS Do )



Do you think the GOD was offended that it did not say WWGD like GOD was not FIRST as a Consultation ?



I heard GOD had a really good record for LOVE its on this site all the time > HUM what would god do send a Flood Fire and Brim Stone have Moses slaughter 3000 fellow Hebrews... What would GOD do ? The Giver of MORALS DICTATES



Isn't SIN supposed to be something that OFFENDS the GODS ..



. So If the "CHURCH " or Denomination is saying No pants . YA Cut your Hair so you loose any female STRENGTH supposedly for some characters there is STRENGTH in your hair like SAMSON or was that HERCULES maybe they were adopted characters from different Mythology a real fashion statement



. ISN'T that really MAN LAW ? YA See the MITZVOT 613 Laws of God corresponds to the bible verses Law # 365 A Man shall not wear a women clothing DEUT 22 : 5 and LAW # 366 A Women shall not wear Mans clothing Law # 367 Thy shall not wear clothing mixed with wool and Linen maybe since the common WORKING man wore LOIN cloth they didn't want women to run around breast naked in a LOIN cloth



It was actually the Egyptians that Forbid wearing Wool especially in THEIR temples the introduction of ANIMAL fibers in the Temple was seen as IMPURE Animal was not allowed to touch the SKIN



My research shows ( Deuteronomy supposedly written in 1400 BC ) they both wore KILTS/ TUNICS the only difference was Length & women wore a SHAWL or neck scarf



First found pair of PANTS in tact was related to horse riding dated to only 3000 years ago about 984 BC in CHINA The PROTOTYPE of pants for the BIBLE regions was documented to be invented by QUEEN SEMIRAMIS in 812 BC ( Queen of Babylon ) that she wore on a Military Campaign most likely also related to horse riding Might make you wonder if that DEUTERONOMY date is Really 1400 BC



got to be careful with those religious they try to SNEAK in those MAN LAWS kind of like that BURKA thing



Then try to claim the GOD said it ......LOL

no they should not wear pants. pants were for men not women. a woman's hair should be long not short like a mans.







Deuteronomy 22:5Common English Bible (CEB)



5 Women must not wear men’s clothes, and men must not wear women’s clothes. Everyone who does such things is detestable to the Lord your God.

There's no issue with wearing pants or women having short hair. And if they ask you to leave because of it, they aren't true Christians anyway.

You are right, there is nothing in the bible saying it is a sin for women to wear pants or cut their hair. Do you shave your head bald or try to pass yourself off as a man?

What if a man wore women's pants? Pants are not sinful for women. We are instructed to dress modestly in the bible, for me that means pants, definitely not any skirt/dress as I view them as sexualizing and they make me very uncomfortable.

Most Christians do not think it is a sin to wear pants or cut one's hair. Not even most Baptists.

I think you can see that, even if clothing and hair are issues, they are not the more important issues.

It is much more important to refrain from murder, sexual immorality, theft, and covetousness than to refrain from pants and hair cutting. The basic law still is to love God with all your heart, soul, and mind; and to love your neighbor as you love yourself.

It sounds as if you have not decided on a particular church to join yet. Look for one that will help you with the most important things.

Something like that is only a custom, not a sin.

Pants were originally invented for women in the east.

Men wore robes like modern priests or monks.

When you engage in religion, it is important to distinguish between the foundational concepts of that religion, and the traditions that have been adapted. While there's no reason to believe woman can't wear pants, some people believe in that tradition anyway.

All that Scrioture says in relation to dress, is thst men should not dress as women or vice-versa. I am sure your pants are not masculine in design or intent. God is more loving and accepting than some of us give credit for
2016-04-10 12:08:53 UTC
As most replies have agreed, the scripture teaches women not to dress

in away that makes you look like a man. Times and culture affect many

aspects of our lives, and we need to be sensitive to that as we apply the

spirit of what the Bible is telling us.



The Apostle Paul's teaching about ladies' hair is not difficult, but it's often

misinterpreted. He simply says a woman's long hair is a glory to her, and

given for a covering. It does not mean to "cover" your hair, as some think.



He says it's shameful for a woman's hair to be shorn or shaven (removed)

so the message is to make sure you look feminine and ladylike for God.



Be wary of very controlling churches. If things are taught with gentleness

and reason that reflect the scripture, it's more likely in the Holy Spirit ...

whereas harshness is not. Keep praying for the Lord to lead you. If you

have a love of the truth, He will bless you and make sure you find truth.

Remember, it's God who drew you to faith, so He has good plans for you.

God bless you .. and grow in His grace. :)

This type of Baptist church would be extremely conservative, such as an independent Baptist church or primitive (hard-rock or hard-shell) Baptist, rather than your run-of-the-mill Southern Baptist Church or Missionary Baptist Church. Sometimes churches that have beliefs like this also have other, very extreme, doctrine. Before you make a commitment to ANY church, do some research, read the Bible, ask other Christians that you respect, and check your own conscience. I'm not saying that it's wrong to have extremely conservative beliefs in some areas, because I have some conservative beliefs. Certain areas, such as watching TV, wearing certain clothes, drinking alcohol in moderation, playing cards, etc. are NOT specifically forbidden or encouraged in the Bible, however, but vary according to culture. However, some churches don't allow for differences in conscience in gray areas of scripture, and these churches sometimes tend to be rather controlling. In the end, a church should teach that we are saved by FAITH, and although we want to please the Lord and grow in sanctification, we're NOT going to be saved or damned on the basis of wearing pants or skirts.



Now, about the pants. This is a "gray area." Here are some of the arguments:



Argument: The Old Testament says that men and women shouldn't dress alike. (Deut 22:5) Pants (in western culture) are male garments, therefore women shouldn't wear pants.



Response: Christians are not under Old Testament rules. Also, in the Bible, men and women both wore robe-like garments anyway. NO ONE back then wore pants; in fact, men and women dressed in very similar clothes.



Argument: Pants are immodest because they show the shape of a woman's bottom, and thus encourage men to lust and sin. Therefore, Christian women should not wear pants.



Response: Pants DO show a woman's shape, but which is more immodest: a tight mini-skirt (or a skirt blowing up in the wind) or a pair of loose pants?



My response (as a conservative Christian woman, mom, AND as a fashion historian): Study the issue carefully and pray for guidance. Try to be modest (as the Holy Spirit directs you). Consider your part of the country and what you are doing; some areas and some situations (like church) demand stricter modesty than others. In any case, when you walk by, a man shouldn't break his neck looking at you, so don't wear things that are too tight, too low (in front), or too high of a skirt or "hooker heels." If you worry about a certain outfit, ask a serious, trustworthy guy you know, like your Dad, brother, or good male friend. They'll often tell you the truth. Don't try to attract attention to your "assets," and don't try to show off your wealth by wearing expensive clothes or jewelry. But you don't have to wear clothing that is so old-fashioned, dowdy, or unusual that you stand out (unless your conscience dictates to do so.) We know from early writing that the Christians did NOT stand out because of their clothing-styles. Try to be feminine, and wear colors that suit you, but that doesn't mean to be "frilly." Try to dress in such a way that a serious, down-to-earth man or woman would probably remember you more because of your kindness, intelligence, smile, or good attitude rather than what you were wearing.



This is my take on the issue. Check out the link below for a more thorough discussion of this issue.

In the interest of full disclosure, my mother was the first person in our little church to wear pants to Sunday night (no one would DREAM of wearing pants to morning worship at that time.) I don't remember it, but apparently she created quite a controversy at the time. I think it's rather funny myself, because I'm quite conservative.

Umm, my mother was a very devoted woman to God and her Baptist faith/church, and she wore pants, and it was NEVER taught that they were a sin.. and she had short hair too..



Sounds more like a pentecostal teaching than Baptist to me...and they are NOT sins , UNLESS you as an individual feel it is for YOU ..



As a *baby* you will hear MANY different teachings and stuff.. I do NOT want to influence you myself, but I will say this : Jesus died to make us free not just from sin but from the Law...



and I will also add : don't push yourself nor believe the first things you hear , etc.. STUDY your bible, slowly and with care and with an open heart , mind, spirit....



Welcome to the family of God by the way... : )

God sees through clothing to the person underneath. What anyone wears is totally irrelevant to worship.



All of this forced clothing claptrap is made up, usually by men who want to control women and can't be bothered to control themselves..
2016-04-11 09:15:12 UTC
There is nothing that says not tyo wear dresses to church. eve this is a man made rule. God does not care what you wear as long as it is decent. God wants your trust, and faith in him. When we get to heaven what we wear is not in the book of life, neither is what religion we were. tant thing is he wants the church to unite, so why so many religions. The Bible also says don't make a fuss over your hair, but I know some Baptist, and Pentecost people that wear wigs to church, or spend most of Saturday, getting there hair ready for church???? Far too many rules and religions. God wants one church, that was his plan. WE GO TO CHURCH TO WORSHIP THE lORD, Not to impress people with what we wear.

Its a filtering technique to identify people who are willing to be controlled by others. If you are uncomfortable, then leave. Don't try to figure out the reason why some people think the way they do or exaggerate the meaning of one interpretation or the other; keep in mind, it is the sick who need a doctor.

Of course, especially when it's cold outside. A church requiring a certain dress code is practicing legalism. This is what Jesus was always arguing with the pharisees about.

Much of what the churches promote is not in the bible just as with Islam. It is man's interpretation of how a god might thing, want and need. Seek a church which is not run by a man but governed by their god.

Are we talking here about 'trousers' or 'pants'. Pants (do you yanks call them 'panties'?) should be worn to prevent accidentally flashing your bits.

You say you are a 'baby christian' therefore I would say look around until you find a less misogynistic church.

Sure, deck your lower limbs in pants

Yours as the limbs my sweeting

You look divine as you advance

Have you seen yourself retreating?

You have just learned why you should not be a 'christian' at all ... it isn't gonna stop at haircuts & pants.

YOU MADE A MISTAKE BECAUSE YESHUA NOR THE FATHER EVER CLAIMED "WOMEN WILL ONLY WEAR LONG SKIRTS & HAVE LONG HAIR OTHERWISE THEYRE ALL GOING TO HELL." THE 10 COMMANDMENTS ARE ACTUALLY 613 BUT YOU KNOW YOURSELF WHETHER OR NOT YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO HACK BEING THAT PERFECT OR NOT SO TRY IT SEE IF IT CONFLICTS W YOUR PERSONALITY BEING PERFECT WHEN GOD DIDNT MAKE US TO BE THAT WAY HE MADE US PERFECTLY IMPERFECT THE WAY WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE, & THE CULT/DENOMINATION YOU ENDED UP IN IS FORGIVABLE, LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE WE DO WRONG TRUST ME YESHUA DIDNT DIE FOR NOTHING HE DIED KNOWING WE WOULDNT GET HIM RIGHT, MAKE ALL THESE DENOMINATIONS TRYING TO BE LIKE HIM & GETTING HIM WRONG IN THE PROCESS. HE WANTED US TO DECIDE FOR OURSELVES IF WE WANT LEGALISM IN 613 COVENANTS OR LOVE IN ONLY 2: LOVE THYSELF & THY NEIGHBORS. SOME HAVE STAYED W/ LEGALISM OBVIOUSLY WHILE THE REST WENT FROM SADDUCEES TO ATHEIST GOD HATERS. YESHUA WANTS 1 THING OF YOU ONLY: TRUST IN HIM & HIS GRACE SO THAT YOU CAN LIVE AGAIN.

The Bible doesn't forbid it, but girls generally look better in skirts. These should be no shorter than knee length if she is single, or ankle length if she is married

I was at Hillsong,City Campus in Sydney a few months ago. In the morning service was a young woman, her loose split down the middle and falling apart from neck to waist and no bra. So we aren't allowed to say anything negative. It's probably better she be at church like that than not at church at all.

Yes you should, I saw a sexy girl entered the church and she prayed before the statue by wearing a mini skirt.

From a biblical standpoint, no.



And since there is no "Newer Testament" then we are still bound by the New Testament.

Find a different church..



Try a Protestant/Nazarene church.



Nazarene churches stick to the teachings of Jesus,& the Bible.Jesus himself was a Nazarene.

Who in their rightful thinking could even care. Where is it written....no where. Wear what they please and try to look as nice as possible in them and what ever else they may wear.

I hope athiest women do. They have ugly legs in general.

This is only because you went to a Denominational Church, Try a nondenominational Church...

It is fine. Find a Church that doesn't go nuts over one verse.
