Some Kind of Strange
"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 NIV
So...God hates me then?

Don't worry, he hates me, too.

beckysoup61 said:Nope God doesn't hate anyone. I don't think God can hate, even within those context of verses. Remember the Bible was written by men with inspiration from God, but still it was written by men.
God doesn't hate.
zombieharlot said:Are you saying that some scriptures may be flawed because of man's limited intellect of God? If this scripture isn't accurate to what God's word really is, then why should I believe the others are?

JayJay H said:No God does not Hate you here is Why:
This is a true Translation of the Verse
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.
What did men wear then? They wore Tunics, Skirts, Robes. They did not Wear Pants. The meaning of this verse is deeper than this though. It means that the woman is not to function as a man, nor a man as a woman. You are to be a Man if you are a man. And A woman if you are a woman. You are not to interchange ways between your kind(female or male.)
dawny0826 said:Well...a Christian (like myself) is bound by the laws of the NT...not the old...so I ask if you see similar verses in the NT of the bible, which I don't recall reading.
The covenant in which Moses was bound to is different than the covenant in which I'm bound to. Deuteronomy of course is dealing with God's people under the leadership of Moses.
The laws were different...the manner of atonement was different...
God doesn't hate you. In fact He loved you so much...Christ became the ultimate atonement for you...He didn't hang on that cross out of hate. He hung in agony because he DOES love you.
Bottom line...I think God is a heck of a lot more concerned about what's inside you...not what you're wearing on the outside...
Then why is it imperative to read the OT? And no, I don't think there is any verse like this in the NT because I think it is the only verse like this in the entire Bible.
JinnOnTheWinds said:Well of course you are just talking about the Abrahamic God, who is usually very angry.
But God wouldn't condemn you for anything, in my opinion anyway.
dawny0826 said:Very angry with who...you?:flirt:
JinnOnTheWinds said:Oh definitely, I ask him whats up with killing all the dinosaurs and he goes all Dirty Harry on me.

dawny0826 said:Not everyone views the Bible in the same manner that I do...but when you read the OT...you truly understand WHY Christ's sacrifice was necessary.
Even though I'm not bound by the laws that Moses was bound by...it's important for me to see how man's relationship with God has developed.
If you're getting from Point A to Point B...it's helpful to know what happened between Point A and Point B.
