Bible Answer:
This is wrong, and how do we know, we
know because God tells us so!
Deuteronomy 22:5 KJV
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.
*Abomination:

Transvestism:
People who
habitually and voluntarily wear clothes of the opposite sex. Usually
associated with homosexuality.
Cross-Dressing, or
Uni-Sex, is the agenda of the evil one.
His plan is to
destroy anything that God has created.
The difference in
the sexes was instituted in creation by God, for the purpose of
procreation.
And those
differences are to be honored and maintained.
Genesis 1:27 KJV
So God created man in His own image,
in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them.
Now some one might
say “But that was under the law, we are under Grace.”
And the answer:
Matthew 5:17-20
KJV (Jesus)
17 Think not that I am come to
destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to
fulfill.
18 For verily I say unto you,
Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise
pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
19 Whosoever therefore shall break
one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be
called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and
teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 For I say unto you, That except
your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and
Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Remember well
also....
Malachi 3:6 KJV
For I am the Lord, I change not..."
If our God felt that
way in Moses day, He certainly feels that way to day as well!
I Timothy 2:9,10
KJV (Apostle Paul)
9 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;
10 But (which
becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
*Modest: Greek, Kosmios (Kos-mee-os): Decorous, of good
behavior, modest.
*Shamefacedness: Greek, Aidos (Ahee-doce): Through the idea of
down cast eyes; bashfulness, modesty or (towards God) awe: reverence.
*Sobriety:
Greek, Sophrosune (So-fros-oo-nay: Soundness of mind, i.e.
sanity, or self control: soberness, sobriety.
I Timothy 2:9,10
NLT
9 And I want women to be modest
in their appearance. They should wear decent and appropriate clothing
and not draw attention to themselves by the way they fix their hair
or by wearing gold or pearls or expensive clothes.
10 For women who claim to be devoted
to God should make themselves attractive by the good things they do.
I Peter 3:3-5
NLT (Peter)
3 Don’t be concerned about the
outward beauty of fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry, or beautiful
clothes.
4 You should clothe yourselves
instead with the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty
of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God.
5 This is how the holy women of old
made themselves beautiful..."
Exodus 33:1-6
NLT (Is God concerned with our appearance?)
1 The Lord said to Moses, “Get
going, you and the people you brought up from the land of Egypt. Go
up to the land I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I told
them, ‘I will give this land to your descendants.’
2 And I will send an angel before
you to drive out the Canaanites, Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites,
Hivites, and Jebusites.
3 Go up to this land that flows with
milk and honey. But I will not travel among you, for you are a
stubborn and rebellious people. If I did, I would surely destroy you
along the way.”
4 When the people heard these stern
words, they went into mourning and stopped wearing their jewelry and
fine clothes.
5 For the Lord had told Moses to
tell them, “You are a stubborn and rebellious people. If I were to
travel with you for even a moment, I would destroy you. Remove your
jewelry and fine clothes while I decide what to do with you.”
6 So from the time they left Mount
Sinai, the Israelites wore no more jewelry or fine clothes.
Separation Of
The Sexes:
Hair:
I Corinthians
11:14,15 KJV
14 Doth not even nature itself teach
you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?
15 But if a woman have long hair,
it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.
It is nothing
today, to see some women in a “butch” cut off, hair style, being
the male counter part in a lesbian relationship.
Or see some men
with long hair and a pony tail, or flip.
Is there any wonder
what is at work here?
I Peter 3:7 KJV
Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with
them according to knowledge, giving honor unto the wife, as unto the
weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life;
that your prayers be not hindered.
Satan's desire is
to radicalize the sexes, feminization of men (emasculation), and the
masculation of women.
Women who are to be
the “weaker vessel,” according to God's creation!
Christian men and
women, be sure your attire is:
- Not sensual, but modest before the Lord.
- Not any part of the attire of the opposite sex, falling into the abomination of the Lord!
