I have seen CoG7 women displaying these in the maga\u00adzine. It is regarded as sin in our churches here in Nigeria. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A close reading of the primary texts on this subject, then comparing Scripture with Scripture, leads us to these conclusions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Deuteronomy 22:5, found in the Old Covenant and not repeated in the New, does not prohibit Christian women from wearing trousers nor men from wearing robes.<\/li>\n<li>First Timothy 2:9 and 1 Peter 3:3 stress the importance of inward beauty and modesty for women, but they do not forbid any and all attempts at outward adornment. (On the contrary, Ezekiel 16:9-14 and Luke 15:22 seem to approve of jewelry, fine clothing and outward adornment for God\u2019s people.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Appropriate dress is not fully learned from the Bible alone \u2014 not in detail.\u00a0 The culture around us influences this issue to some extent. Nigerians have customs that your churches there are wise to respect, provided Bible prin\u00adciples are not violated. The same is true in North America, where women may wear loose-fitting trousers, modest makeup and jewelry, and \u201cdressed\u201d hair without being seen as sinful or worldly.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, much of western society has adopted an extreme permissiveness in these matters, one that disregards the biblical virtues of modesty, propriety, decency, and self-restraint. This tolerance for any and every modern fashion sometimes infects the American church \u2014 both men and women \u2014 and renders Christians too much like the surrounding culture. For our fail\u00adures and the negative influence we may have had in your country and elsewhere, we ask your for\u00adgiveness.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2014 Elder Calvin Burrell<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Have a question you&#8217;d like answered?
