1 John 3:16


"By this we perceive the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren."

Interpreting the Law

We will now go through some passages in Moses’ Law to see how it should be interpreted. First, we start with dress.

The woman shall not wear that which pertains to a man, neither shall man put on a woman‘s garment: for all that do so are an abomination to the Lord their God. (Deut 22:5).

This verse is not about whether women may wear trousers. There are certain types of clothing that are acceptable in one culture but not in another. Rebelling against what the culture deems to be decent and godly shows a bad attitude.

This scripture is about issues of sexuality. A man should not dress as though he were a woman, nor a woman as a man. It means homosexuality, transvestite and sex changes are an abomination to the Lord. It means sexual perversion is an abomination to the Lord.
