The Bible says that men are not to dress like women & women are not to dress like men. So why was God okay with Joan of Arc dressing?

herself as a male to fight in battle?

    A - That's not exactly what the Bible teaches on that matter.

    B - What the Bible does teach on that matter consists of instruction given specifically to the Jewish people (though it's true that many Christians accept and adopt that particular instruction).

    C - What makes you so sure that God was "okay" with Joan of Arc's dress? After all...it appears that things ended quite badly for her. If God did, indeed, favor her (as you suggest), why did she "fall" in combat, why was she captured by the opposing military force, and why was she executed by burning (for repeated heresy, the particular heresy in question being in fact her manner of dress)?

    Do you really think God was talking to Joan of Arc?

    I dare you to really Read the Bible! In the Old Testament is the commandment for "men to wear robes" next to the command for woman to wear dresses. GOD had His people living in hot areas, where infections between the legs is easy to happen; ,so the "dress" and "robes" prevented these infections.

    In the New Testament is the command for "Men to only wear men's clothes and Woman to only wear woman clothes."! Since Believers in GOD have changed to all sorts of weather, different types of clothes are needed. There is a 2,000 year old painting of the King and Queen of China both wearing quilted pants suits; so they would not Freeze where they were. In the New Testament, where we are required to wear clothes only of our real sexes, is because of all the different weathers. Also to understand that homosexuals and others with anti-GOD ways to Not show off their anti-GOD beliefs!

    Consider the source.

    Christianity’s “god-in-a-book” with its concocted ‘human’ wisdom,

    is as worthless and repugnant as the fabricated words of that entity itself.

    Let this god-in-a-book keep on threatening the souls of believers with death, disease,

    flood, pestilence, punishment, and a lake of “fire” … all in the name of its love for them.

    Let it tell "believers" who they can and can't lay with, and how to dress.

    And then, let us sit back and watch

    as “christians” chronically and unceasingly seek forgiveness, absolution, and reclamation

    from their sparkling little pink ‘lamb’ who portrays himself as being the “son” of God, as if no one else is.

    In thinking that it knows what God “might” be,

    Christianity, along with its relentless and interminable pursuit

    of trying to pawn itself off as fact, belittles the `True and Living God`… and is as disgusting as it seems.

    The bible, and everything in it = A piece of crap … it is a "complete" nothing burger.
