Question
If men in Biblical times wore skirts/robe garments, why can't men wear skirts today?

Answer
Doug,

There is no Scripture that I know of that prohibits men from wearing attire that is for men. If a skirt, like a kilt, is designed for men, then men can indeed wear that attire. When men wear attire in order to make their appearance effeminate, then they are acting contrary to Scripture that indicates that men should behave themselves like men.

Thank you for your question.

With Love In Christ,

I seek to help Christians in doctrinal matters. Many Christians think that doctrine doesn`t matter, yet the Scriptures indicate otherwise. It is my desire to share from the Word of God with those who have legitimate questions. As such, I cannot claim expertise, except that I will seek to answer from the Authority (the Bible). If I cannot find a Biblical answer, I may offer an opinion based upon my understanding of Scripture, or I will simply reply with an, "I Don`t Know".
