Growing up we could only wear a dress, or skirt, no pants or shorts at all to church. And I have always wondered, why, I have never found it in the bible. So Am I missing it in the bible or was that just someone elses Rule?

I'm not being too liberal about this topic, but we are living in the 21st century right now, isn't that correct? In that case, I think that the Church as well as people are more open-minded with the subject that girls wear pants. I think that it is already acceptable but as are religion professor once told us, girls wearing pants is indeed accepted by the church but we as girls should bear in mind that going to church, we should be in the proper decorum. So there should be a little discretion on the part of the church goer, we should also in return for the consideration be considerate in the manner of how we dress by, dressing properly and not like we just woke up and decided to hang out inside the church.

women wear pants - women wear pants just look
it's a choice about wearing jeans and going, or not wearing jeans and not going, go in jeans. However, when we go to church, we should show our respect for God and our respect for the things that we are going to learn and do there. Putting on nicer clothes is a way of showing our respect; we cared enough to dress nicely for the occasion. When you're in your nicer clothes, you know it's an important occasion. At my church, for example, men usually wear shirts and ties or suits and women usually wear skirts or dresses. This style of dress helps us to show our respect for God. If someone didn't own a skirt, she wouldn't be kicked out of the church. Whatever a person has that is clean, neat and respectful would be appropriate. happy mylot day.

Appreciate the comment, Once Asked a preacher this question, she told me she would ask the person to leave her church if they wore jeans, I didnt go to that Church, and I never have seen it, But I have Heard other people say that they have been kicked out for this. Have a Blessed Day!

Any figure enhancing clothes are frown at, in the church because they will only distract other worshippers,am sure that is not your intention of going to church. Wear things that are comfortable and decent,i am aguy,and i get distracted anytime i see a nice looking lady with a big bum wearing tight fitting pants....lol,hope am not sounding dirty.
