What Is In A Clothing (my Perspective)... @Bamgboje Esther wrote: Dear pillars,Wat do u think shud be my response as a christian sister,i dnt wear trousers bt my guy said i shud b wearin it. Let us go back in history, Father Adam & Mama Eves clothing was nothing...nakedness at the beginning. The opening of eyes made them realise they were naked & needed covering. So at this junction, it was their decision to know what they wanted as covering, not Gods, and then they used leaves.*** Please take note that clothing is primarily to cover our nakedness. Population of the world increased and I guess the people(society) then decided what they wanted for covering. Society differs on clothing; in some, the accept dress code for men is skirt; some, men tie wrapper around the shoulder; some tie wrapper just round the waist and I think in some part (uncivilised) of Africa some still use leaves to cover just the private area. I would not imagine an Eskimo tie wrapper across the shoulder. The above is to tell us that our choice of clothing is(or) can be determined by so many factors or conditions simply put. Some years back before I got married I lived in an area where I must climb an okada to get to work; I noticed I had to pull up my skirt(each time I wore one) to allow me get on the bike and then I had to struggle to cover up but on days when I wear trousers I had no issue. By the nature of my job (sales rep), I get into the back of my pick up van a lot to attend to customers need. Each time I wore skirt it was not easy...(Pls picture it in your mind) I love crafts a lot and I make lots (not trying to sell myself) here. I sew, I bead, I crochet, I plait...to mention a few. My first born was a set of twins, the next was a girl and so she had & still has so many passed down. With a touch of beads combo with crocheting, some of my boys clothing have been made NEW and feminine as a means of managing sweated for& hard earned resources. Going to the market, there are trousers that a sane man would not buy because they are designed for women. If my hubby appreciates women in trousers, would I not get one of those, wear it decently with a nice decent top just to appeal to him than have go after some one else?! Not everyone who wears trousers does so to entice men, we all have our varying reasons for dressing the way we do. The issue of motive comes in. I believe clothing are creation of people(designers as we call them) and who wears what is the decision of men/women who created such clothing(the designer) .... There is so much to put down but I have to run now. Let the spirit of God guide your MOTIVE in dressing, is it to gratify a sinful desire or to decently cover your nakedness. Pls comment/opinion/CONSTRUCTIVE criticism are welcomed Eph 6:1 My friends, you are spiritual. So if someone is trapped in sin, you should gently lead that person back to the right path. But watch out, and dont be tempted yourself.
