I have two married daughters that are of the apostolic Pentecost faith. They believe women should not wear slacks or jeans. Can you tell me what scripture this is found in?
There is nothing in the Bible about men or women wearing pants; pants are not mentioned in the Bible. Presumably, the issue is whether women should wear what is traditionally men’s clothing or vice versa. Since styles and fads come and go, one cannot really make a dogmatic statement on this. Jesus and his disciples wore robes that would look like long dresses to us today, but that was their custom. The Bible doesn’t dictate on this issue one way or another.
