“The biblical expression “to gird up the loins” meant to put on the belt, thus freeing the lower legs to permit work and easy walking.”

Yeah, but I always read it was more like this: http://www.artofmanliness.com/2014/10/02/how-to-gird-up-your-loins-an-illustrated-guide/

Much like what Japanese samuria did with their tasuki: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qs6y2gOfQfI

Men also wore a sort of diaper, a piece of cloth wrapped around their “loins”. This was ancient and Jesus is often depicted with such a piece of cloth and I don’t doubt he wore one under his tunic.

Interesting. When they say clothes made of cotton did they weave it, use a loom, or some other form of cloth?

[Disambiguator]

They wore Carhartt.

"Gird your loins" meant more than cinching the belt:

My loins don’t look quite like that, that’s why I would carry a AR15.

In terms of the basics, men and women dressed much alike.

Deuteronomy 22:5, King James Bible
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, there must have been a difference.

[JimRed]

Then I read the rest:

In terms of the basics, men and women dressed much alike. However, there were clearly differences because Scripture warns, A woman shall not wear man’s clothing, nor shall a man put on a woman’s clothing; for whoever does these things is an abomination to the LORD your God (Deut 22:5).

Never mind.

[Salvation]

I think the author addresses those differences.

[JimRed]

Yep, see above...

IIRC the last pope to go by his own name was Marcellus, who reigned in the early or mid 1500s.

[trisham]

LOL!

If he were to become Pope, would he be Pope Pope?...............

Pope is his last name; his first name is Charles. Were he to not choose another name he would be Pope Charles.
