Do leather clothes have a spirit of purity?

I have never received an injury while wearing my leather jacket. I wear that and leather hat when I fire-tend. I believe leather to have a spiritual quality.\n\nIn Shamanistic practices, donning a skin is part of the process for invoking an animal spirit.\n\nAs for purity, I don't know

AMEN!!\n\nSuch attire is only a shackle, reducing the woman to an object for all men to desire, creating a new form of slavery and robbing her of her personhood.\n\nOn top of that: it's cold in the fall and winter, and sunburn material in the spring and summer!\n\nThis is freedom? NOT!!!

purity - as in Jesus washes away your sins and now you are pure before god.\n\nNot that I buy any of this.  I'm just telling you what it symbolizes.

NO!  The body wasand still is represented by bread (the Body of Christ) and blood wasand still is represented by wine (The Blood of Christ)  Sheesh!  Even I know THAT!\n\nThose monks did not do anything like that and nor does anyone else of legitimate religious followings.\n\nANd if anyone asks me about "Illegitimate religious followings"....Ohhh I will give you such a PINCH!

White clothes always project a sense of purity, cleanliness. It's only natural that chefs and doctors would want to wear white for the sake of their customers.

i think its ok to wear both. i mean what did they wear in the old days to keep warm. people just think that if you wear fur its horrible cause it comes from an animal but so does leather so i don't see the difference. if i had somewhere fancy to go i would wear my fur coat i don't care. its no different then what the did in the good old days to keep warm.

I grew up (in the US) in a very strict Christian church, where women didn't wear pants, men didn't have beards or mustaches, and all elbows/knees were expected to be covered.\n\nThis was based on a couple of things (based on my opinions, mind you, I'm no theologian). General modesty, and the Biblical passage stating 'a woman shall not wear that which pertains to a man.'\n\nNow, while I respect the intent of these teachings and the people I've known that teach them, I don't feel that the Biblical passage in question necessitates that women should not wear pants. The passage clearly pre-dates the clothes we wear today, and I simply don't believe that God expects us to live at the whim of the times. Taken to its logical conclusion, the idea that women can't wear pants simply because it is the fashion for men to wear them suggests that if all men were suddenly to begin wearing dresses, women by necessity would have to start wearing pants. I don't believe God expects us to live at society's whims like that.\n\nHowever, clothing is a very personal choice. If there is one thing I learned from growing up in that kind of church, it is that I am in no position to impose my own religious convictions upon another person.\n\nI don't believe it is a sin for a woman to wear pants, but when in doubt, I rely upon James 4:17 "Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin." If you believe something, based upon what you have read and what you have been taught and upon your own relationship with God, that is what is right or wrong for you. No one else's personal beliefs or experiences take the place of that.

Yes, they do. They are called garments, and are sacred reminders of the vows of chastity and faithfulness to the covenants they made in the temple.\nGo to \nlds.org\nfor the best source of information on this and any other questions you may have.

It does not say pants, but it does say that a woman should not wear anything that pertains to a man...and it also says that a woman should wear MODEST CLOTHING...\n\nDEUTERONOMY 22:5\n The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.\n \nI TIMOTHY 2:9\n In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;\n\n Ask yourself if women's pants make her "mince as she walks...\n\nISAIAH 3:16\n Moreover the LORD saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:\n\n Does that not describe the modern woman of today...proud look, eyes caked in make-up, shaking their hips, in heels and tight pants, and wearing jewelry on their ankles & feet?\n What makes them "wince" is the way they walk and the way their bodies are formed. A woman is built different than a man (Only sissified, homosexuals copy it).\n Watch a woman wearing pants, then compare to a woman wearing a modest, loose fitting dress or skirt. If you cannot see the difference then you are blind.\n Besides, women of a hundred years ago had a sense of morality that has since been lost...thanks to Hollywood and Women's Lib.\n Back then the only pants they wore was their 'bloomers', which was worn UNDER their dress. Then a petticoat was worn over that, then the dress was worn over that. So back then the pants was the under, under garment.\n If a woman dressed backed then, as they do today, she'd be locked away in a mental institute.\n Women of today have lost their sense of decency, morality, common sense and femininity.\n I do not believe as the Muslims, that a dress code should be forced upon women, because it must come from the heart. The Holy Ghost will tell them what is wrong and what is right.\n Remember also...Jesus said if a man look at a woman to lust after her, he committs adultery in his heart. So what about the woman that dresses in a manner that makes the men look & lust? Is she also not guilty? I say she is.\n The only women that dressed and acted in such a way, in the Bible days, was prostitutes, witches and worldly women...like Jezebel.\n We have their contemporaris today...in women like Jan Crouch and Tammy Faye Baker.\n Could you imagine Mary, the mother of Jesus, dressing like them?\n What a disgrace the church has become!\n\n God bless all that Love Him.\n\nTo know more, click here...\nhttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/bibletruths_forbelievers/

That's a darn good question. I'll need to remember this next time some mental burnout starts going on about ghosts. Maybe the clothes have souls?

we have a lot of men here in Holland trying to act all gangsta like. (whatever the term is) I'm used to seeing European men dressed clean cut and neat.  And here we have men dressing in baggie clothes with bandannas on their heads. sigh.\nAnd furry boots.  Why? I haven't a clue.  But women are wearing boots covered in fur.  Some even have a furry ball dangling on the side.  i personally think they are hidious but that seems to be the fashion.

If the pig skin is perfectly tanned then it is permissible for Muslims to wear shoes made of it. \n\nhttp://www.islamonline.net/servlet/Satellite?pagename=IslamOnline-English-Ask_Scholar/FatwaE/FatwaE&cid=1119503549320\n\nGenerally, it is recommended to avoid such things, if better alternatives found.

Every respectable person dresses modestly.Ethically no religion can claim to have autonomy over any particular dress code.Maybe we need to make every Christian,Muslim, Buddhist,etc,know they can wear any dress code as long as it is modestly acceptable to the public.This is not only of women alone.I think that men too dress in a way that captures women's admiration,but that was not discussed by the religious books.I think that is not fair enough because this competition between the opposite sexes of arousing one another's feelings is what is actually creating the problems of immodest dressing.

i don't believe that we take anything from our earthly bodies with us. our soul leaves our earthbound bodies to go where ever it goes and our clothes are left behind. the clothes lay in the ground with the decaying body. i'd like to believe that our souls become beautiful light and we won't need clothes in Heaven.
