 ===Definition of modesty===
+William Branham taught that women should wear modest dresses and that God requires clothing-styles to be separate between the genders.
-Women wearing modest dresses and that God requires clothing-styles in separation of genders
+:1. The Bible outlines feminine modesty as follows:
-a.       The Bible outlines feminine modesty as: “women should adorn themselves modestly and appropriately and sensibly in seemly apparel, not with elaborate hair arrangement or gold or pearls or expensive clothing” 1 Tim 2:9. At this time of scripture, and when Deut 22:5 was written, men and women both wore the same type of garment, a long tunic to the knees or lower and a mantle to cover the head.  From a distance, men and women would look exactly the same.  Modesty in the New Testament is outlined as sensibly and not gaudy or expensive which might make others around you feel inferior.
+::''“women should adorn themselves modestly and appropriately and sensibly in seemly apparel, not with elaborate hair arrangement or gold or pearls or expensive clothing”<ref>1 Tim 2:9</ref>.
-b.       If Deuteronomy 22:5 says that “the woman should not wear that which pertained unto a man…for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God” KJV, then why stop at pants for a woman?  Every garment would need to be researched.  Ties were uniform for teachers in the earlier centuries, stockings and hosiery were first worn by men, t-shirts were military undershirts designed in the 1920s, hoodies, baseball caps, tennis shoes, etc.  Where would it end?  BUT, the KJV is very different from the translated Hebrew for that verse.  The word pertaineth in “that which pertaineth” is translated from the Hebrew word “keliy” which means “article, utensil, vessel” which in other scriptures in the old testament, “keliy” is translated into “weapon, armor, or instrument”.  The word “man” in this specific scripture is from the Hebrew word, “geber”, which means “Strong man or warrior”.  One of the pagan temples in Moses’ day required women to dress up as warriors to enter the temple, which better defines the Hebrew translation that a “woman should not put on the armor of a warrior… for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God”.

-c.       When God made clothing of skins for Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, it is recorded that God made them “kethoneth”, which in Hebrew means “a long shirt-like garment”; they were not gender-specific clothing styles
+:2. If Deuteronomy 22:5 says that “''the woman should not wear that which pertained unto a man…for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God''” (KJV), then why stop at pants for a woman?  Every garment would need to be researched.  Ties were uniform for teachers in the earlier centuries, stockings and hosiery were first worn by men, t-shirts were military undershirts designed in the 1920s, hoodies, baseball caps, tennis shoes, etc.  Where would it end?  BUT, the KJV is very different from the ancient Hebrew for that verse.  The word "pertaineth" in “that which pertaineth” is translated from the Hebrew word “keliy” which means “article, utensil, vessel” which in other scriptures in the old testament, “keliy” is translated into “weapon, armor, or instrument”.  The word “man” in this specific scripture is from the Hebrew word, “geber”, which means “Strong man or warrior”.  One of the pagan temples in Moses’ day required women to dress up as warriors to enter the temple, which better defines the Hebrew translation that a “woman should not put on the armor of a warrior for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God”.
+:3. When God made clothing of skins for Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, it is recorded that God made them “kethoneth”, which in Hebrew means “a long shirt-like garment”; they were not gender-specific clothing styles.
