Good post, brother!

Oh well, unfortunately the doctrines written on the subject for the most part have been...men...and our ladies have no problem with it, lol.

(Next time, I'll have Papasangel ghostwrite for me )

LOL. Yep, but look at the beating poor Paul takes from some women. I couldn't stand the guy before I got saved, lol.

Just a short note. It seems I have seen all the verses Except One.

The end.

1 Cor:11:13

Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered? 14Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? 15But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering. 16But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.

I could never understand why people leave out the rest of the story when it comes to scripture.

Notice 13 Judge in yourselves.

It says that if a man have long hair. When did Jesus get a hair cut?

Was this shameful to Him?

Notice in 16 the end of what Paul said,

But if any man seem to be contentious,( WE Have No Such Custom, Neither the Churches Of God.)

He was saying this to the corinthians cause this was obviously issues with them.

Nowadays Will still have no such Custom.

Make sense?

The way I see it if a woman wants to wear a headcovering, thats fine.

But I don't see anywhere that it says they have too.

I have been reading all the posts, and i guess that more I read, the more i get confused... is a women supposed to wear a covering other than just long hair?(is this a place that says a woman is supposed to have long hair?). It seems that one is saying that it was just a custom at that time.. we need to follow God's law.. people today no longer hold that custom.... yet, people today do not follow modest dress, but the bible says to do it, and a born again believer is supposed to wear it... another thing, i do not believe the bible contridicts itself(nto to become and argument over this), and yet i am being told.. "the bible says a women's covering is not just thier hair" "a women's covering is the hair"...

I think i am just going to talk to my youth pastor tonight, and see if he can knows anything else. One last thing, as a side comment, what is a Mennonite?

[Iryssa]

Mennonites are another Christian denomination (can it be called a "denomination"? I guess so...might be kind of a level higher than that...*shrug*). Conservative and of European (German? Dutch?) origin, I think.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong *grin*

Sactyfied, I think the long haired, blue eyed, light brown haired Jesus depicted on so many paintings, etc., are probably not very close to His true physical characteristics while He walked among the apostles. He was a Nazarene man, and I believe to the Nazarenes, long hair on a man was considered disgraceful. Jesus as a Jewish man probably had dark eyes, and short curly dark hair. We don't really know for sure what He looked like, but just thought I'd toss this in. Someone please correct me if I'm in error, here. I would hate to have anyone believe in something that isn't true.

*grin* It's always kinda amused me that people believe Jesus was Caucasian.

On his hair length...you know, I'm not sure...though that length could've easily been considered short, considering the women back then usually had their hair much longer than the average long-haired girl these days.

Well, just on a light note here. I don't think the wearing of a head covering or not will have any relevence as to whether you'll be banned from entering heaven. It's up to your own spiritual belief. I'm fairly sure it wont affect your salvation. But then I don't know everthing. Do I?
