I read the book, and while I cringed at some of the testimonials, it was pretty clear to me at least that obedience was the thing, not the hair as if it were some sacdred substance.

It is symbolic of submission and obedience.

Of course, that could be my bias.:)

I do think it is too bad for people to represent RR's views as some substituting of uncut har for the stripes on the back of Jesus.

We're all smarter than that, regardless of the level at which Margie can read and comprehend.

And as I lay my hair before you, uncut in obedience to your Word, I am asking you to heal and protect my husband from this disease that has been diagnosed."

I have a powerful anecdote about "how long is long," but ye are not able to bear it.:)

Rachel is confizzled!! Anyway, why did she lay hair on her husband? The word of God says to lay hands on the sick! Hands!! not hair!!

Not to sidetrach the debate, but why did the passing of the Apostles shadow
on the sick result in their healing??

I'm referring to the testimony which started this thread -- it wasn't about RR or her teaching in the beginning -- just what this woman was testifying to, and what she stated.

Hair is NOT a veil of protection. She stated it was in her prayer.
