Pentecostal teen of Grand Prairie, Texas was allegedly fired form Burger King, because she refused to show up for work in pants. Seventeen-year-old Ashanti McShan claims when interviewed by another employee, she was told she would be able to wear a skirt to work. We think very highly of this teen, simply because many teens in the black church and any other church are not biblically trained and are allowed to dress anyway they please, even in the house of God. Many preachers are preaching 'it is not what you wear, but it is what's in your heart,' but we have more cases of child molestation and sexual immorality in this era of the church, more than ever. Evidently, Ashanti McShan goes to a full gospel church that is preaching holiness, according to biblical standard.
In Deuteronomy 22:5 the Bible clearly states, 'The woman shall not wear that which pertains unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are an abomination unto the LORD your God.' We are living in an age where many teen girls and teen boys are changing their sex, it is ludicrous for today's church to ignore that scripture. It would be a good idea for a new breed of ministers to rise, so we can return to complete holiness in the the church and teens can be obedient like this young lady, Ashanti Mcshan who was not ashamed to be different in the workplace. We need strict discipline among our youth and to avoid such false doctrines that try to excuse why there should be no dress code. This young lady has proven God wants women to be distinct from men in their attire and the same thing goes for the men. You see, this is why we have so much rebellion in today's church when it comes to the subject of sexuality, because most preachers are not preaching to be holy and dress, according to God's Word. This is the time when the youth within the church need to depart from unsaved youth in the world, some whom are changing their sexual identity and being allowed to cross-dress. In the age when many youth are questioning their sexual identity, why not return to obeying God's commandment in Deuteronomy 22:5?
Therefore, Ashanti McShan should win her lawsuit and be given her job back, for she is indeed a child of God and her religious belief should be respected without prejudice. In the meantime, we are praying for her to remain strong and also pray for God to intervene in her case against Burger King.Teen Ashanti McShan sues Burger King
By Lena Sullivan
A Texas teenager is suing Burger King for religious discrimination, saying that the fast food giant fired her, a conservative Christian, for wearing a long skirt, rather than uniform pants, to work.
Ashanti McShan was a 17-year-old high school senior when she applied for a job as a cashier at the Grand Prairie Burger King in August 2010, according to the lawsuit filed on her behalf this week by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. During her interview McShan, who is a Pentacostal Christian, said that her religious beliefs forbid women to wear men's clothing, so she would need to be...Read full article, here.
Tahita Jenkins was fired from her job for refusing to wear pants. In this era of the black church, we have discovered there has been so much diversity, there are no more regulations by church mothers who used to instruct women of all ages how to dress as saved and holy women. The popular cliche for the past 20 years among modern day black mega churches is, 'it's not what you wear, it's what's on the inside'. However, God does make it very clear in His Word that we ought not to wear apparel pertaining to a man. In our opinion, neither should church women look similar to harlots. Therefore, there ought to be distinction among holy women from the hip hop movement that has dominated the black church.
Note: Before we proceed with this article, we want to make it very clear, when a lot of women first come to the Lord, they do not have many clothes to wear. So, God does understand why certain women may wear pants, even in the House of God. God does not require a woman to wear dresses, if she has no money to buy any. God will deal with saved women how He pleases and it is according to her own personal life. Back in the day, many women became offended by the church, because they were rebuked for what they wore. Therefore, we should not be ignorant to understand some women do not have money to buy certain clothes and God will still claim them as His own when they surrender their souls totally to God.
We are very shocked to see this New York saved woman refusing to wear pants in this age, when many women have not been in submission to dress holy. In this age of mega ministries, you are rebuked for choosing to be holy, what they call, 'man-made' traditions. However, in our opinion, we feel the church needs to go back to the old standard in a lot of ways, because of the rebellion of those whom idolize the hip hop movement and follow the Gospel of Inclusion, instead of being in total submission to God's Word. Many women in the church, whether it is the black church or any other church, are dressing like the female hip hop gospel artists or butch thugs, instead of presenting themselves as holy women. Too many women and girls are showing too much cleavage and wearing skin tight clothes as the divorce rate continues to increase. and many young girls and being molested, along with little boys. For the past 20 years, the (black) church has been giving the wrong message, confusing being holy with tradition. Therefore, Tahita Jenkins is not in error for obeying the rules enforced by her church, Holy Ghost Headquarters Prayer Band Mission of New Beginning Deliverance Church.
Of course, it is just as important to act holy as it is to dress holy, because there are a lot of mean saints back in the day who used to dress very different from the world, but today, you have a lot of mean women who not only dress like the world, but they act like the world with a nasty attitude. So really, it is all bad. We just need to ask God to continue to wash us clean on the inside, while we are in total submission to how He desires for us sanctified women to dress. We are to please God, not the modern day church. To great degree, it is time for women of God to began making a distinction from the world, not just with the clothes they wear, but also within their spirits.
Furthermore, it is so very important to think about this issue, because we brought up this point several months back, revealing to you why more saved women should not wear pants, except for being indoors at home. The main reason, is that homosexuality is trying to control God's land, and many women are in rebellion to remain ladylike, according to God's standard. There are a lot of women carrying the spirit of lesbianism within the church and in order for many of them to feel like women, after they get saved, many of them do have a strong desire to dress feminine. Therefore, it may not help their spirit not to wear pants. This is the age when a lot of women whom have been delivered from being lesbians to separate themselves from the society whom condone unisex apparel, because the Bible did say in Deuteronomy 22:5, '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.' So you see, the Bible also says men should not dress like women, that is, to wear dresses or any other effeminate attire that displeases the Lord. We are not saying it is a sin for women to wear pants, but in this age when many women (including men) are changing sex, it would be a good idea for more Christian women to not wear pants, very often. As you noticed, just like the Bible quoted homosexuality as an abomination, He also said the same thing for certain clothes women nor men ought not to wear. Now, some pants are made for women, but it all depends on how the woman feels while wearing those pants. Even better, we need to ask God how does He feel about it.
