Every school. It is law here except in private schools. No I don't. It went right back up after about a year.

John Chrysostom wrote:So if you don't support Sola Scriptura then what is the highest authority in your life on matter of doctrine and theology?
I wasn't aware we were making a distinction between inner clothing and outer clothing. I was asking this question to clarify because it seems like you don't actually care what men and women wear as long as it is different and unique to the sexes.
Of course the problem with this is that different cultures around the world have different fashions so how people dress here in America can be very different than how you dress in Korea and I wonder, why does it matter that much?
1. The Bible. But, Sola Scriptera is not a word in the Bible.
2. Yes.
3. Not really different, but similar I'm sure. The Bible is more important than culture. That is what I believe.

Neither, to my knowledge, is "Trinity", yet it is a concept accepted by Christian churches no matter their sect. The exact words of a particular doctrine do not have to be explicitly spelled out in the Bible in order to make the doctrine true. Besides, you just stated that you don't believe in sola scriptura, yet you go on to state essentially that you believe in what the doctrine states—the supremacy of the Bible. How does that make sense?

But where does the Bible say that you being confused as to who is male and female from a distance a bad thing? As others have said, even when women wear pants we aren't confused. This problem seems pretty limited to you.

Yes the words don't have to be explicitly laid out but who gets to decide. Catholics and Orthodox believe in Sacred Tradition with Sacred Scripture do help decide doctrine. Tradition is mentioned and said to be important. And who decides what is in the Bible? There is nothing in the Bible that says what is supposed to be in the Bible. And even if there was you can't use a source from the source you are trying to prove.
