Mode of dress is a matter of Christian liberty.
All things are lawful but all things are not expedient.
We should also be wary of using our liberty in a way that may cause our brethren to stumble.
To exercise liberty and freedom in Christ is to honor Christ, but not every Christian has reached a mature understanding of this.
Say for instance, my brother in Christ, in his limited understanding of liberty, chooses to abstain from a certain thing in honor of God.
But I, in my matured understanding of liberty, choose not to abstain from this same thing because i understand the freedom Christ has bought for me.
Say my brother sees me doing this thing and it appears evil to him, yet he knows I am Christian. Have I then given him a free pass to do that which appears evil to him? Have I destroyed his conscience and brought confusion and an occasion to sin to him?
Abstain from using your liberty in a way that destroys your fellow Christians.

They should definately dress differently.
Morals are not gone in the new covenant. Things that are different are not the same. Thats a good rule to go by.
Dont let any modern day deceiver flimflam you into believing men are supposed to be wearing skirts and pantyhose.
If any man is wearing that, I am here to OFFICIALLY confiscate your man-card. Hand it over!

***This law is one of the 500 some-odd laws that Jesus condensed into his first and second great commandments. There is a strong belief that Jesus inferred that we need only focus on his two commandments, rather than on the 500 some-odd laws. More to the point, perhaps, James 2:10 says “…whoever keeps the whole law [of the Old testament] but fails in one point has become guilty of all of it.” So, it is easier to abide by Jesus’ two commandments.
That said, one may not necessarily have to fear being struck by lightning if one wore garb of the opposite sex, under certain circumstances. One may be acting in a play, for instance, or one in the follies of sexual encounters may look to impress their lover in some kinky fashion, yet one who does so would not actually think of themselves as a member of the opposite sex inside.
A variation of this is when Jesus addresses the issue of being kosher. He says in
Matthew 15:11, “it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth; this defiles a person.” In the same sense, a person can wear whatever they want, so long as they love God in accordance with the second commandment of Jesus. To that extent, though, as God abhors those who act as if they were of another gender in terms of the people they are intimate with, people of one gender should not believe or desire to be another gender, regardless of what they wear.

These people are wicked, DECEIVING people into thinking they are something they are not, some even got the voice changed so well that they have fooled me. Some are too convincing for my taste. When I was growing up we never even heard of that stuff, nobody was talking about it and we never saw it. Now you cant tell who is who.
But I will let everyone know WHY this deception is here and whats the purpose of it:
The purpose is to LURE straight men into being sodomites. Thats the agenda. "They" know that a straight man is not gonna fall for a hairy ugly dude, hence they deceive and lure straight men in by PRETENDING to be females. Granted there have been many cases where this seduction has FAILED and the deceiver has gotten the beatdown of a lifetime. BUT I know of people who have been "converted" due to this and are now OPEN SODOMITES.
Im not telling this to be graphic, but as a WARNING to all the men who might be reading this and growing up in an environment where this is going on. TAKE HEED!
There is a saying in my language: 'you give the devil your pinky and he will take your entire hand'.
I guess the english equivelant would be 'give an inch and he will take a mile'.

Oh and one more thing: I am NOT saying that everyone should be exactly the same and everyone should be some fake macho guy. Of course not.
I know there are DIFFERENT men and DIFFERENT women, meaning some are more "masculine" women and some more "feminine" men, but just because a man has for example a small frame, or extra fat around the chest area, or something like that, DOES NOT MEAN they are no longer MEN, they are still MEN and should dress like MEN.
Same goes for women, just because a woman is more 'masculine' and has a large frame, or are tall or muscular, DOES NOT MEAN they are no longer WOMEN, they still are and should dress like WOMEN.
Its a strange world when things like this are even discussed in our SOCIETY.
I will quote Deontay Wilder here: "Whats clearly understood dont need to be explained"

Woman and men should dress modestly and men and woman should not wear cloths that are traditionally not the cloths of their gender.. This is stated in the Law..
Now will Christians be forgiven any failure to follow this law to the letter? Of course we are covered by the Blood of the LORD Jesus for all our transgressions..
There is only 1 unforgivable sin declared in the New Covenant.. And that is Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.. Wearing cloths no of ones gender is not blasphemy of the Holy Spirit so it is a transgression covered by the Atonement of our LORD Jesus..

Men are men and women are women, no doubt, male and female created He them, but what I’m wondering about is clothes... I wonder about when woman started wearing pants (which pretty much only men did for a long tine in the Weat) when feminism got big in the 60s (and when they left the house to work when the men went to war in the world wars) and now it’s just accepted... Thanks🙂

I know a few Christmas jokes but I would be banned if I said them. They were told to me on a Christmas day many years ago by the Food and Beverage manager at a Holiday Inn when I was a chef. I believed that the guy must of been depressed because he had to work Christmas Day so he thought a little coarse humor would lift everyone's holiday spirits just a tad. It must of worked too as I thought that the Frosty the Snowman joke was particularly amusing although a bit crude. I am more sophisticated now but I can still take a joke.
