Which is Evil Is Money? Is Pants? (for men or women) Is Short pants? Is Alcohol? Is a Curse Word?

MT 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

MT 6:25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

Why did She Turn to Salt?

GEN 19:26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

Put on therefore, as the elect of God

COL 3:10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

COL 3:11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.

COL 3:12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

COL 3:13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

COL 3:14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

COL 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

COL 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

COL 3:17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

shamefacedness

2:8 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. 2:9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; 2:10 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works. - 1 Timothy 2:8-10

His disciples became hungry and began to pick the heads of grain and eat. But when the Pharisees saw it, they said to Him, ‘Behold, Your disciples do what is not lawful to do on a Sabbath’” (Matthew 12:1-2

two incidents in the Old Testament where people were vindicated for technically breaking the Sabbath: David, when he took the sacred shewbread and shared it with his men, and the Old Testament priests, who regularly violate the Sabbath by working at their priestly jobs on this day

God’s commandment 1450BC

Gen 3:21 records that God made “coats of skin” for them to wear. The word coats in this verse is the Hebrew word kethoneth and means “a long shirt-like garment.”7 

Breeches: 1450BC

EX 28:42 And thou shalt make them linen breeches to cover their nakedness; from the loins even unto the thighs they shall reach:

underwear

At first breeches indicated a cloth worn as underwear by both men and women

In the latter sixteenth century, breeches began to replace hose

Until around the end of the nineteenth century (but later in some places), small boys wore special forms of dresses until they were "breeched",

A dress from about 3000 bc, excavated in ad 1912, was rediscovered in 1977 . Perhaps the world`s oldest fully preserved garment consists of a skirt attached to a pleated "bodice" (fitted upper part) with a V-shaped neckline and long sleeves. Two . Surviving garments worn by Egyptian men include shirts, tunics, and loincloths

. Men of the upper class wore a wrapped skirt that somewhat resembled a kilt over the loincloth. This skirt was called a "shenti. "By 2800 bc the shenti was knee length; by the 1700s bc some shentis fell to the ankle. By 1100 bc men wore a close-fitting shenti and a fuller long one

600 BC Pants

The traditional Mesopotamian garment was a woolen skirt; 3500 to 2500 bc

The Persians, introduced two garments to the history of clothing: trousers and seamed fitted coats, protect people from cold weather

It is worth noting that throughout most of history trousers have not been associated with men. In China, both men and women, especially those who worked the land, wore trousers. In the Ottoman Empire (based in what is now Turkey), women wore trousers. Only in European cultures did trousers become associated with men

Romans, who did not generally wear pants, referred to Germanic tribes as brācātī or braccātī,

The ancient Greeks used the term "ἀναξυρίδες" (anaxyrides) for the trousers worn by Eastern nations[8] and "σαράβαρα" (sarabara) for the loose trousers worn by the Scythians.[9] However, they did not wear trousers since they thought them ridiculous

Republican Rome viewed the draped clothing of Greek and Minoan (Cretan) culture as an emblem of civilization and disdained trousers as the mark of barbarians

By the 8th century there is evidence of the wearing in Europe of two layers of trousers, especially among upper-class males.[21] This under layer is today referred to by costume historians as “drawers,”

Open legged trousers can be seen on the Norman soldiers of the Bayeux Tapestry

Mens garments sound like womens garments for today

Although Charlemagne (742–814) is recorded to have habitually worn his trousers, donning the Byzantine tunic only for ceremonial occasions,[23][24] the influence of the Roman past and the example of Byzantium led to the increasing use of long tunics by men, hiding most of the trousers from view and eventually rendering them an undergarment for many. As undergarments, these trousers became briefer or longer as the length of the various medieval outer-garments changed and were met by, and usually attached to, another garment variously called hose or stockings

15th century underwear

Men's clothes in Hungary in the 15th century consisted of a shirt and trousers as underwear, and a dolman worn over them, as well as a short fur-lined or sheepskin coat. Hungarians generally wore simple trousers, only their colour being unusual; the dolman covered the greater part of the trousers

Europe before the 1900s

Around the turn of the 16th century it became conventional to separate hose into two pieces, one from the waist to the crotch which fastened around the top of the legs, called trunk hose, and the other running beneath it to the foot. The trunk hose soon reached down the thigh to fasten below the knee and were now usually called "breeches" to distinguish them from the lower-leg coverings still called hose or, sometimes stockings. By the end of the 16th century, the codpiece had also been incorporated into breeches which featured a fly or fall front opening.

Laws of man becoming tradition

In order to modernize, Tsar Peter the Great issued a decree in 1701 commanding every Russian, other than clergy and peasant farmers, to wear trousers.[30]

During the French Revolution, 1789–1799 the male citizens of France adopted a working-class costume including ankle-length trousers, or pantaloons (from a Commedia dell'Arte character named Pantalone)[31] in place of the aristocratic knee-breeches. The new garment of the revolutionaries differed from that of the ancien regime upper classes in three ways: it was loose where the style for breeches had most recently been form-fitting, it was ankle length where breeches had generally been knee-length for more than two centuries, and they were open at the bottom while breeches were fastened. This style was introduced to England in the early 19th century, possibly[original research?] by Beau Brummell, and by mid-century had supplanted breeches as fashionable street wea

Laws of man becoming tradition

Sailors may have played a role in the worldwide dissemination of trousers as a fashion. In the 17th and 18th centuries, sailors wore baggy trousers known as galligaskins. Sailors also pioneered the wearing of jeans, trousers made of denim.[citation needed] These became more popular in the late 19th century in the American West because of their ruggedness and durability

Back to ancient times

Starting around the mid-19th century, Wigan pit brow girls scandalized Victorian society by wearing trousers for their work at the local coal mines. They wore skirts over their trousers and rolled them up to their waists to keep them out of the way. Although pit brow lasses worked above ground at the pit-head, their task of sorting and shovelling coal involved hard manual labour,

The Korean word for trousers baji (originally paji) first appears in recorded history around the turn of the 15th century, but pants may have been in use by Korean society for some time. From at least this time pants were worn by both sexes in Korea. Men wore trousers both outer garments or beneath skirts while it was unusual for adult women to wear their pants (termed sokgot) without a covering skirt.

470 BC Militrary uniform Korea

Although women had been wearing trousers for outdoor work thousands of years earlier in the Western world, by the time of Christianization it had become taboo for women to wear trousers. It was Eastern culture that inspired French designer Paul Poiret (1879–1944) to become one of the first to design pants for women. In 1913 Poiret created loose-fitting, wide-leg trousers for women called harem pants, which were based on the costumes of the popular opera

In the early 20th century aviatrices and other working women often wore trousers. Frequent photographs from the 1930s of actresses Marlene Dietrich and Katharine Hepburn in trousers helped make trousers acceptable for women. During World War II, women working in factories and doing other forms of "men's work" on war service wore trousers when the work demanded it

In 1969 Rep. Charlotte Reid (R-Ill.) became the first woman to wear trousers in the U.S. Congress. [37]

In 1989 California state senator Rebecca Morgan became the first woman to wear trousers in a U.S. state senate. [38]

In the 1960s, André Courrèges introduced long trousers for women as a fashion item

In modern Western society, males customarily wear trousers and not skirts or dresses. There are exceptions, however, such as the ceremonial Scottish kilt and Albanian fustanella, as well as robes or robe-like clothing like the cassocks of clergy and the academic robes,

In May 2004, in Louisiana, Democrat and state legislator Derrick Shepherd proposed a bill that would make it a crime to appear in public wearing trousers below the waist and thereby exposing one's skin or "intimate clothing".[41] The Louisiana bill did not pass.

In February 2005, Virginia legislators tried to pass a similar law that would have made punishable by a $50 fine "any person who, while in a public place, intentionally wears and displays his below-waist undergarments, intended to cover a person's intimate parts, in a lewd or indecent manner".

The tunic or chiton was worn as a shirt or gown by both genders among the ancient Romans. The body garment was loose-fitting for males, usually beginning at the neck and ending above the knee. A woman's garment could be either close fitting or loose, beginning at the neck and extending over a skirt or skirts.

July 2013

French officials have officially invalidated a 213-year-old order that forbade women in Paris from wearing pants. City chiefs had put the order in the books in 1800 requiring women seek permission from police if they wanted to “dress like a man.”

The order was issued on the heels of the French Revolution when working-class Parisian women were demanding the right to wear pants in their fight for equal rights.

PICTURES: The Ideal Woman Through the Ages Along the way, in 1892 and 1909, the order was somewhat

loosened so that women who were riding a bicycle or a horse could wear pants. Today, Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, the minister for women’s rights, decreed in a statement that while the order had not been officially taken off the books, it has been made irrelevant by changes in French law.

So man aquired what he wanted

Pants:

But was God’s objective maintained and what about the women?
