According to Pastor Steve Anderson, Jesus wore pants because Deuteronomy 22:5 says that it is an abomination to God for a man to wear women’s clothing. This is what the Bible says about wearing women’s clothing:
“A woman must not wear men's clothing, nor a man wear women's clothing, for the LORD your God detests anyone who does this” (Deuteronomy 22:5).
Now, my friend Darrell Pursiful at Dr. Platypus has asked the following question: “Did Jesus Wear a Dress?”
Darrell has written an excellent article in which he discusses the issue of “how men dressed in the first century.” Visit Darrel’s blog and read his article; it is an article worth reading.

I was amazed to find Iranians created pance according to Wikipedia-maybe if Steve Anderson(I refuse to call him a pastor or I will have to apologize to every [pastor I ever sat under) maybe if Anderson preaches against Islam and Iran, we can show unity by refusing to wear pance ever again!(This is a joke of course)
David,
What can be said about Anderson? I am sure that he has already preached about Islam and Iran; we just have not heard those sermons yet.
