When A Woman Wears Pants
By Robert J. Stewart
"And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart." -Proverbs 7:10The Word of God (the Bible) speaks of the "attire" (clothing) of a harlot. In contrast, the Bible also speaks about "modest" apparel in 1st Timothy 2:9-10, "...that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works." "Modest" in the Greek means "of good behavior"; hence, a woman's clothing advertises a message to everyone who sees her about the kind of BEHAVIOR which she possesses.
A woman wearing a modest dress sends a clear message that she is a more than likely a virtuous woman, a lady. And a woman wearing tight pants, a miniskirt, or a low cut blouse sends a clear message to others (especially men), that she may indeed be an immoral woman. At a minimum, it signifies she lacks good judgment and is guilty of causing lasciviousness (sinful lust). To be frank, a woman who dresses immodestly causes men to think unholy thoughts of fornication and adultery. We read in Matthew 5:28, "...whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart." Jesus taught that sin begins in the heart!
I recently met a professed "Christian" young woman. As we conversed, we began to speak about God, the Bible, and then she asked me ... "Is it wrong for women to wear pants?" She was wearing pants, and tight one's at that. I told her the truth from God's Word --It is a sin for women to wear men's apparel (Deuteronomy 22:5), and an even greater sin to wear immodest clothing that draws men's attention to the outward body, rather than to the inner heart (1st Peter 3:3-5). After I gave her the truth, she immediately became defensive concerning the pants she was wearing by exclaiming, "So what? I don't think THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG WITH WOMEN WEARING PANTS." I tried to show her more Scriptures, but she couldn't be reasoned with. After talking with her for a short time, she said she had to leave for a church.
A van then pulled up and I saw a bunch of women wearing PANTS! I was saddened to realize that many of today's "CHRISTIAN WOMEN" are living just like the heathen women of the world! Most churches have deteriorated to the mere status of being social clubs, and only doing good works to be seen of men (Matthew 23:5, "But all their works they do for to be seen of men..."). It doesn't surprise me that spiritually dead churches FAIL to speak out against women wearing immodest clothing. It is tragic! There's something very wrong within our churches in America, when women church members feel comfortable going to church while wearing pants. It's just not right! Everyone has heard that cliché, "Who wears the pants in this family?" The obvious answer is--The Man!
I'm sickened, shocked, and left in a state of bewilderment as to how a "Christian" woman can wear pants and claim there's nothing wrong it, even though the Bible clearly states that a woman should NOT WEAR MEN'S CLOTHING! Lest anyone should fail to understand that pants are "men's clothing," take a look at the sign on ANY men's restroom and you'll see, Yes ... a pair of pants on the door. I remember hearing a young child ask her mother outside a bathroom why women, with pants, were going through the wrong door. Her mother didn't understand her at first, but then she realize that there was a picture of a DRESS on the women's bathroom, and a picture of PANTS on the men's bathroom. The little girl thought that the women wearing pants were supposed to go through the door with the picture of the pants. It's common sense folks!
WHEN ANY WOMAN WEARS PANTS, SHE IS COMMITTING MANY DIFFERENT SINS IN GOD'S EYES:1. SHE IDENTIFIES HERSELF WITH A ROCK N' ROLL CULTURE OF SEX PERVERSION AND IDOLATRY!
"Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with COVETOUS PRACTICES; cursed children:" -2Peter 2:14
She is committing idolatry! The heathen world worships sex! Few Christians realize that sex is often used in ritualistic ceremonies within Satanism and witchcraft. According to former Wiccan high priest and 32 degree Mason, William Schnoebelen ... "Witchcraft, in its religious sense, involves the veneration of the forces of reproduction—both in plant, animal and human life. Thus, human and animal sexuality are revered, the cycle of the seasons celebrated; and rituals do frequently involve the use of ritual tools which symbolize the human reproductive organs (wands, daggers, goblets, cauldrons, etc.) Many Witchcraft groups even have ritual sex, believing that this is an important way to encounter the gods." Hence, sex is their god.
The American and European cultures have deteriorated into a state of sexual licentiousness. Everywhere we turn nowadays...sex, sex, sex! Few people fully realize the Satanic agenda behind the rock-n-roll industry to corrupt our youth. Women rarely wore pants until the rock-n-roll revolution came along. Then came feminism as a result of Rock-n-roll. Literally, rock-n-roll music and feminism have converted America over to a godless religion of immoral sex, lewdness, illegal drugs, and every other form of debauchery imaginable. As a result, we are increasingly seeing masculine women and effeminate men in society. Women are dressing and acting like men, and men are dressing and acting like women. This is because they are worshipping the gods of rock-and-roll instead of Jesus Christ. Sadly, they don't even realize it. That rock stars that you think about all the time--buying their albums, hanging their pictures on your wall, praising them at their concerts, etc...you are committing idolatry!!! Don't believe it? The rock-n-roll stars admit it themselves...
- "I'm the devil's advocate. We have our own worshippers who are called 'groupies.' Girls will give their bodies to musicians as you would give a sacrifice to a god." -Frank Zappa (Peters Brothers, What About Christian Rock, p. 17)
- "My goal in life is to give to the world what I was lucky to receive . . . the ecstasy of divine union through my music and my dance." -Michael Jackson (The only way to Divine union is through Jesus Christ, NOT Michael Jackson. See John 14:6).
- " . . . I'd kill my mother for rock and roll. I WOULD SELL MY SOUL." -Bon Jovi (Smash Hits magazine)
- "The first time that I appeared on stage, it scared me to death. I really didn’t know what all the yelling was about. I didn’t realize that my body was moving. It’s a natural thing to me." -Elvis Presley (Elvis knew what the yelling was about, they were "worshipping" him)
- "When one finds himself, one finds God. You find God, and you find yourself." -Prince (This is the New Age heresy that so many young people are accepting today.)
- "Christianity will go, it will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue about that. I'm right and will be proved right. . . We're more popular than Jesus now." -John Lennon (San Francisco Chronicle, April 13, 1966, p.26)
Rock-n-Roll musicians also admit their sexual perversion...
- "I can't get enough of women. I have sex as often as possible...It's not easy to be in a one-on-one relationship if the other person is not going to allow me to be with other people." -Axl Rose (of the band Guns N' Roses)
- "Be strong, believe in freedom and in God, love yourself, understand your sexuality, have a sense of humor, masturbate, don't judge people by their religion, color or sexual habits, love life and your family." -Madonna
- "Rock 'n' roll is a bit like Las Vegas; guys get dressed up in their sisters' clothes pretending to be angry, but not really angry about anything." -Sting
When a woman wears immodest clothing, she is identifying herself with the rock-n-roll culture of immoral sex. Women wearing dresses are rare nowadays. All Satanists and witches live by the law that you can do anything you want, just don't hurt anyone else. Such demonic thinking excludes God's law, which plainly dictates how we are to live. Don't be fooled friend, immoral sex is the religion of rock-n-roll, Satanism, Wicca, many false religions, and the occult ... AND THEY ALL DRESS IMMODESTLY!
2. SHE COMMITS IDOLATRY, AND CAUSES MEN TO COMMIT IDOLATRY!
"Thou shalt have no other gods before me." -Exodus 20:3
Many people are their own god. The Bible reads in Philippians 3:19, "Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things." When you deliberately disobey God's Word, you become your own god. Every woman knows that if she dresses immodestly, MEN WILL LOOK AT HER! Many women maliciously dress immodestly on purpose to gain the lustful attention of men. This is a form of idolatry. Many people only think of the sin of "idolatry" in terms of praying to pagan idols or statues; however, idolatry can be something as innocent as an automobile. No kidding! I've seen people get extremely possessive, defensive, and angry when it comes to their car. I'm sure you've known someone at one time or another who was obsessed with their automobile. People spend so much money, time, and energy babying their vehicles.But those same people could care less about the things of God. They worship their car and don't even realize it. Anything that you place value upon more than Jesus Christ becomes your false god. Some people worship their careers, others their homes or hobbies. And yes, some people worship sex and the human body. A woman who flaunts her body causes men to commit idolatry. A woman who wears pants is drawing attention to herself instead of God. This is sinful according to 1st Peter 3:3-5, "Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands."
A woman is committing idolatry when she deliberately puts her body on display for men to lust upon. She is spitting in God's face by disobeying the Bible. When Galatians 3:19 speaks of those "whose belly is their God," it speaks of those who place pleasure (food, sex, beer, entertainment, etc) over obeying the Word of God. Most people are living for number one --themselves! This is wicked according to Matthew 6:33. We are commanded to seek God's kingdom FIRST!
3. SHE COMMITS ADULTERY, AND CAUSES MEN TO COMMIT ADULTERY
Much of the sexual sins in America are because of Hollywood. Hollywood is without a doubt one of the most hideous and evil cesspools of sexual perversion in the world. American has become a nation of sex-perverts, even to the point of "Christian" woman wearing pants. Don't you realize what you are doing? Do you care? You are causing men to commit adultery in their hearts, a sin according to Matthew 5:28. Notice that Jesus included the women in the sinful act of adultery by using the word "WITH"...
"But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery WITH her already in his heart." -Matthew 5:28
"Thou shalt not commit adultery." -Exodus 20:14The rock-n-roll culture is all about...sex, sex, sex. Hollywood is all about...sex, sex, sex. Matthew 5:28 plainly teaches that adultery of the heart is just as wicked as adultery of the flesh. This is why rock-n-roll and Hollywood have no place in the Christians' life. A woman who dresses immodestly causes men to commit adultery WITH her. She is just as guilty as he is, since she made the decision to dress immodestly. It is wrong for a Christian woman to wear pants. Instead of seeing Christ-likeness, in a properly dressed and virtuous lady, lost sinners see a whorishly dressed woman who is tempting and teasing. But you say, "Not every woman who wears pants is a whore!"
Back in the old days of America, you definitely WOULD have been considered a whore for wearing pants. I dare you to go into any Christ-honoring church where all the women are wearing dresses. You won't feel very comfortable around all those ladies. In fact, you'll be embarrassed, which is exactly why the Devil's neo-evangelical deadbeat churches are packed out. If you're going to live godly in Christ Jesus ladies, then you're going to have to honor Christ by dressing MODESTLY, and you will be mocked and laughed at by carnal women for it. 2nd Timothy 3:12 states, "Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution." It is sad nowadays that young women who wear long dresses are mocked and ridiculed for doing the right thing.
4. SHE CAUSES MEN TO COMMIT THE SIN OF COVETOUSNESS
"Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with COVETOUS PRACTICES; cursed children:" -2Peter 2:14To sinfully "covet" something means to want something bad enough to be willing to sin to get it. Surely it is not wrong to want something, but it is sinful when we are willing to break God's commands to get it. 1st Timothy 6:10 teaches us that the "love of money is the root of ALL evil." What is money? It is simply the power to buy things. Hence, the love of money is covetousness. People love money because of the THINGS it can get them. Literally, covetousness is the root of all sin, but most people recognize it as the love of money. It is our desire to have things that causes us to break God's commands to get them. No woman would pose naked in a vile Playboy magazine if she weren't making MONEY!! No actors would perform filthy sex scenes on the screen, for everyone to watch, if they weren't being paid BIG BUCKS! It's all about the money.
Satan uses money to buy people's souls. Listen to what rock star, Bon Jovi, said, "...I'd kill my mother for rock and roll. I WOULD SELL MY SOUL." Would you sell your soul to Satan for money? "But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul." -Proverb 6:32. No wonder God says concerning the whorish woman, "Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death." It is no light matter with God for a woman to dress immodestly, to cause men's hearts to be filled with sinful lusts. If you are a woman who takes sport in causing unholy lusts in men's hearts by your improper apparel, then you are an evil woman.
A godly Christian woman should be very concerned about the way she dresses, moves, talks, and carries herself.
5. SHE SINS BY WEARING MEN'S CLOTHING"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." -Deuteronomy 22:5
She is committing an ABOMINATION UNTO GOD when she wears men's clothing. When a woman wears pants, she might as well say to GOD, "I'll do whatever I want, when I want, how I want, and you CAN'T stop me!" I realize that most women don't see any harm in woman wearing pants, but the Word of God plainly teaches that it is very wrong. Let me ask you a question ... "If pants aren't men's clothing, then what is?" It is more than obvious that men don't wear dresses. God made men rugged and they need to wear pants to do heavy work. God made women dainty and feminine, and nothing is more feminine that a long pretty dress.
When a woman takes on the appearance of a man, she often develops the attitude of a man. There is nothing more despicable than a masculine woman (except a feminine man). Oftentimes when a woman wears pants, she begins to walk, talk, and think like a man. It might sound absurd to you, but nothing is as absurd as a woman taking on the appearance of a man! If you think I'm wrong, I have another question for you ... When you put on some brand new clothes, how do you feel? Don't you feel fresh and happy about how you look?Of course you do. And how do you feel when you put on secondhand clothes? It's very different feeling from putting on brand new clothes. If you wear bright cheerful colors, you'll feel more happier. But, if you put on dark, Goth-type clothing, there's a spirit of sadness deep within you. Well, when a woman wears men's clothing, she starts to feel and act like a man! I've seen many "professional" women wearing men's business suits, it just doesn't look right to see women dressed like men.
Likewise, if a man puts on woman's clothing, he begins to feel like a woman! This is why cross-dressing is commonplace amongst homosexuals. Deuteronomy 22:5 plainly teaches that a man should NOT dress like a woman, and a woman should NOT dress like a man!
"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." -Deuteronomy 22:5
6. SHE IS CAUSING LASCIVIOUSNESS
"Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness." -Ephesians 4:19
Heathen home-wrecking whores like the godless Britney Spears are the ones directly responsible for generating lasciviousness across America and the world. Like sewage oozing from the septic tank, evil doers like Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson, and Jennifer Lopez are destroying families worldwide. The devil is so proud of them, but God is very angry (Psalm 7:11). Lasciviousness in the Bible is defined as "An unhealthy sexual appetite, an unstable mind." In other words, scum like Britney Spears causes men to want to go commit horrible sins and crimes (and they are).
Little children are being abducted, raped, and killed because men are going crazy. Britney Spears is a monster in sheep's clothing. These women are using their beauty to inspire men to commit sexual sins and crimes. Society can argue that because most men don't commit such crimes that people like Britney Spears cannot be blamed. However, that is simply not true. Britney Spears is guilty, just as are ALL of the entertainment industries' lewd and sensual performers.
"In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;" -1st Timothy 2:9
7. WHEN A WOMAN WEARS PANTS, SHE IS IN TROUBLE WITH GOD JUST AS THE MAN IS IN TROUBLE, TOO!
I could go on and on about why it is WRONG for women to wear pants. Am I a misogynist? No. Am I a male chauvinist pig? No. Do I have a grudge against women? No. So why am I doing this? To let all you women KNOW, that YOU ARE IN TROUBLE WITH GOD! And I'm not being partial towards the men either! Men are just as guilty for purchasing pornographic magazines and supporting such Satanic filth. It's the men who create the market for porn. Hell will be hot! God's commands apply to BOTH men and women, and God is not impartial towards men or women.If you feel like you've just got to wear pants because they "feel good," don't you dare say that no one warned you, when you stand before God --YOU'VE JUST BEEN WARNED! Women should NOT wear pants! It not only hurts the mans relationship with God, but it also undermines a woman's femininity and womanhood. I realize that most women reading this will want to roast me over the coals of feminism. Nevertheless, I stand uncompromisingly for the truth of God's Word ... women should look like women, and men should look like men.
"You can name anything you want to name, but I am opposed to anything in the world that de-emphasizes the line of difference between the sexes. I believe that ladies ought to be feminine and sweet and lovely and charming. I believe men ought to be strong and masculine and decisive. I’m opposed to anything that makes a man and a woman act alike, look alike, dress alike, or talk alike."
-Pastor Jack Hyles (quote taken from Dr. Hyle's sermon, Unisex)
I pray that God will speak to many women's hearts who are reading this sincere article to cause them to realize that they must not wear pants; but rather start wearing dresses and start acting like a women instead of men. Amen.
"But speaking the truth in love..." Ephesians 4:15
