Lets all give thanks to Jesus that your "Glock" didn't go off, Brother.
Those Scrambled Eggs would have been well and truly ruined

Oh come on! Everyone just knows that boys wake up early! It is not like I have no self control!

This is all about that doctor that liberal fascists judge ordered me to see after that traffic ticket!!!! I never heard so much nonsense in my life about me being sexually repressed and channeling my frustration into confrontational behavior. All I am saying is just don't need to wear pants!

Whenever Brother BJ is not wearing pants, expect to see me standing firmly behind him. He has my support.

Thank you brother. Everyone knows how firm you are on personal rights. I knew I could rely on you to back me up.

No one objects to Brother Hatchet here when every year he marches down the streets of Freehold to the post office in nothing but a cross and an American flag to protest paying taxes. The man is applauded for his courage and the sincerity of his statement. I fail to see how my situation is any different. Sometimes liberty means spoiled scramble eggs.

Re: Pants debate continued

I don't wear pants all the time, just in public.

Way to be!

Re: Pants debate continued

Call me old fashioned but True Christian(tm) men should wear real pants. Always. After all we should set the example for everyone else to follow.

Re: Pants debate continued

Look, I want to make my position on this very clear and in writing to the entire congregation; I am not advocating wearing dresses or anything feminine but no were in The Bible does it say a man has to wear pants. Ok I accept I need to wear pants when I go to Sunday service but I don't see the need for them at other times.

Were supposed to be doing what Jesus did, right? Jesus didn't wear pants but no one accused Him of being a long haired, bear footed faggot in a dress. All I am saying is I don't see why man have to wear pants all the time.

There is only one true way to wear Pants. That way is firmly secured, under the armpits, with a solid belt. The firmer the belt the easier it is to wear a shoulder carry weapon. Just in case you need to cleanse a heathen.

Re: Pants debate continued

I concur with Brother Bobby-Joe on this. In fact, the ban on men wearing dresses always seemed odd to me, as Jesus never wore pants, and He is our Great Example:

1 Peter 2:21:
For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps

Additionally, Brother Cranky's first Scripture quote:

Deuteronomy 22:5 "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."

was written in a time when pants were an unknown phenomenon. I think it is a rather strange assertion that Moses spoke about pants here. If we want to follow this Scripture Verse, we must do research on what kind of clothing men and women wore those days.

Additionally, if it mattered that they lived in the desert, while we do not, why didn't Moses then give permission to wear other garments in winter, cold weather, or foreign countries?

Let's look a bit further: what is the history of pants? In fact, it turns out that pants weren't invented by Christians, but by Godless pagans:

Nomadic Iranian horsemen invented the trousers and the Iranian Scythians along with the Achaemenid Persians became the early adopters of trousers.[2][3]
In ancient China, only soldiers wore trousers.

I myself always wear pants, because that's what I've learned since my youth. However, I think the Bible does not prohibit not wearing pants. Should we perhaps ask the Pastors this? It seems like a doctrinal issue to me.

For more information, I've found this excellent article on this subject and Deuteronomy 22:5. The conclusion:

In short, the issue of clothing must always be carefully, thoughtfully and honestly studied from a scriptural perspective while allowing the scriptures to be the ultimate authority on such issues. A thorough study into the clothing norms of the Bible reveals that there was no distinction between men’s and women’s clothing in the Bible beyond stylistic differences such as trim, color and size. In fact, God Himself made clothing for Adam and Eve that was so similar that one word (kethoneth) could describe the specific garment he made for each of them. This same word describes the clothing worn by Godly men and women throughout the Bible from the Old Testament to the New Testament. Yet today, many Christians demand much more than even the Bible did by requiring not only a difference in style but a difference in function and form as well. If God makes no such clothing demands on His people, then who are we to make them? Do we know better than God?

Re: Pants debate continued

It was written around 1611 by the men of King James while they were inspired by the Holy Spirit. I assure you they had pants in those times.

But even if the Bible does not specifically require us to wear pants I still think we should to set a good example for others to follow.

It was not a pretty sight last Sunday morning with all those crying children. They should cry out of fear of going to hell, not because of badly dressed men.

Re: Pants debate continued

So long as none of you start wearing Trousers. If you end up in Trousers you'll burn for eternity in Hell

Daniel 3:21 - So these men, wearing their robes TROUSERS, turbans and other clothes, were bound and thrown into the blazing furnace.

Never mind turbans and robes, because no good true Christian American would be caught dead in either. But you must deny the urge for Trousers.

You have a very good point there, Brother. We need to take that into consideration.

Re: Pants debate continued

This issue IS NOT about our Manly Men wearing or not wearing trousers, but more about the fact that Brother Bobby-Joe couldn't keep his weapon concealed.
Perhaps this kind of Holster would be the answer?

Hey, you were these Sister; Zeke order me to go to the men's room and take my Paul Buster anti-M-ing device (which I was wearing like a good Christian man) off. Things just didn't get tucked in right and I am sorry about that. My woops
