Deuteronomy 22:5 "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."
For context:
Deuteronomy 22:11 "Don’t wear clothing woven from two kinds of thread: for instance, wool and linen together."
Xazy has been victimized by having religion taught partially literal and partially symbolic, which I understand causes confusion. I'm sure that Xazy has worn a blended fabric before, completely unaware that it's a sin in the eyes of god. I'm even sure that, now confronted by these verses, he will choose to accept that wearing blended fabrics cannot be a sin (as it's nonsensical), and will continue to do so. The question would be:
Will Xazy, armed with Biblical context and forced to disobey the same part of the Bible in which he is determined to obey, decide that the Bible is sometimes literal and sometimes not literal and he's free to choose himself? Or will he realize that if one can dismiss one part of the Bible as incorrect that it challenges the infallibility of the whole text? Or will he stop wearing blended fabrics?
I eagerly await any more posts from Xazy, a member I respect a great deal.
