Some women are even known to  shave their heads, in sympathy for a relative and close friend that  is suffering the effects of Chemotherapy.

Is there evil hiding there, a rebellion against God?

 I really don't get how a man can judge a woman's faith and heart by her hair-style.

Some of us actually try to adhere to the Bible.  I know how that seems strange to some who just let the scriptures go in one ear and out the other and figure every individual should decide for themselves whether to follow the Bible.  How dare anyone judge the actions of others, even when there is blatant disregard for what thus saith the Lord?

I read the title of this thread and my first thought was "Oh boy. Don't tell me  that women are now going to have their righteous judge by how they wear their hair?"  I don't know if that is the case here since I have not read through any of the replies and I hope that is not the case here. But anyway that was my first thought on this. So now I will dive in and see where you all are going with this. So here I go.......

The way I see it, I just read what the Bible has to say on the subject of hair length, which is pretty obvious, and try to obey it.  That is why as a man, I keep my hair short, and believe women should have their head covered, and by covered I mean what scripture teaches, have long hair.

The importance is who a woman trusts.

This is a step in the right direction, possibly, because for men too, it depends on who they trust.  (not just for women) (including who they trust when they , men or women, make errors in what they think or do)

Those that do wear their hair short (save for feminine short styles that a man would not likely wear) are in rebellion against God either deliberately or at best ignorantly.

Well I was right. I see where this is going and I think it would be best for me to just sit this one out. Just a note before I go though. I find it very sad that you can judge someone to be in rebellion against God based on the length of their hair.  Very sad indeed.    So......I am going to go sit over here now.  You all have fun judging who is an who is not a Christian based on hair.  As for me. I know whom my heart belongs too.

Well,  "almost" right.

Most readers, being in the world , or most visitors to the forum anyway, come out of a life of disobedience, or rather still live in a life filled with disobedience, not obedience to Christ, never having learned what a life saved by grace through faith in Jesus involves according to God's Word. Thus , as with most of the world, they won't be able to be in harmony... as you put it.... not until (or if and when) they become new creatures in Christ.

I find it sad when the Bible judges something and professing Christians are unhappy when people adhere to what God said.

YHVH never forced His people to adhere to His Word.    They had free will to obey or to not obey.  

Even IF THEY OBEYED<  but grumbled,  they were punished and/or chastised - disciplined . (In Scripture)

Again, did I miss where even ONE person said that a woman that cuts her hair is NOT a Christian?? 

Well....saying that they are in rebellion against God kind of implies that.  Just saying.....

Do you think they can openly disobey God ,  and not be in rebellion ?
