Crossdressing

[Samantha14]

I don't understand the above statement.

[John Henry]

I edited the post.

Neither, actually. They were two plays, one was a what if play where a girl had to go into battle instead of her family member, and one where there was a scene where these sisters all all laughing and talking about their dream princes, and one gets the father's shoes, hat, and coat in order to pretend she is the prince, as they laugh.

Also, in the olden days, men played all parts. that includes women. Do you think that's sinful?

[John Henry]

Yes I do.

[Samantha14]

Hmmm. Explain.

[John Henry]

Men would be dressing in Woman's clothes (even what YOU guys consider woman's clothes), likewise the reverse.

[Samantha14]

I had this conversation with 11th last year, but I can't remember what happened with it... I hope he gets the chance to reply tomorrow.

What if they told a Bible story with women in it? They did this act until at least the 1700s, to my knowledge. So what if they dressed female to be Mary, or Esthur, or Ruth?

[John Henry]

Bible Story? At that time, they dressed the Almighty God as a man with a White Robe & a Wig.

I thought the Eleventh Doctor was a "She"

[Samantha14]

do you think acting as Jesus in a play is wrong?

[John Henry]

I don't like plays - Why, do you want to pretend to be the Christ? lol (maybe).

[Samantha14]

Wait back up. You thought 11th was a girl? o__O

And plays are amazing and inspiring. I know people who asked God into their hearts and lves because if plays like "The Passion".

[John Henry]

What is "The Passion"?

[Samantha14]

It's a play of the story of Jesus. Not to be confused with a movie of the same story abd same, or similar name. It's really good.

So if people acting like Jesus isn't good in your opinion, I take it it goes the same for AIO's Bible Story episodes? When they have people voice God/Jesus?

[John Henry]

I don't like those episodes - personally.

[TigerShadow]

Do you like anything?

Tiger, do you keep the Sabbath?

...Are you making the assumption that because I do not adhere to an oppressive and frankly incorrect standard, I do not worship God on Sundays?

[John Henry]

I don't hate EVERYTHING!
Is the Sabbath a ceremonial law? (just questioning what you think)
You'll see why I ask soon...

[TigerShadow]

There is a difference. What Sabbath are you asking me about? The sacrificial-system Sabbath that was done away with, as it is ceremonial law, or the Fourth Commandment principle of setting aside a specific special day to worship God?

[John Henry]

No, but resting on the Sabbath (not done away with) was placed inside the Ten Commandments.

[TigerShadow]

I am aware of that. I'm also aware that Jesus specifically discusses the meaning of working or resting on the Sabbath. What's your point?

[John Henry]

You say that Deuteronomy 22:5 is surrounded by ceremonial laws - so it's a ceremonial law. The Sabbath was surrounded by moral laws...
