WHY no cross dressing in the Bible?

    Things like Jesus going for a pee, someone splitting thier hose, cutting their finger, are never mentioned in the bible.

    One argument is that these things were so commonplace that nobody even thought to mention them.

    Since there is a rant in the Jewish Law about men not being allowed to dress as a woman, one would think there might be one recorded instance. After all they did a tale about the Egyptian gathering wood on the sabbath.

    Does this mean that cross dressing was so common in bible times it didn't even rate a mention in the book?

    Was Moses a drag Queen? Egyptians wore wigs, and at one point he wore a veil. Maybe it took 40 years to get him out of the "habit".

    Hammie not exactly on topic but this argument is why I think JWs are wrong about birthdays. The bible doesn't talk about Jesus nipping off to use the privvy, but that doesn't mean going to the loo is wrong does it? So just cos it doesn't say he went to birthday parties doesn't mean he didn't either.

    I'm with Ellie - the women and the men all seemed to wear the same kind of robes, so what was the point of the crossdressing thing. Could it be more to do with religious garb perhaps?
