He believes it is the hair. I agree with him.
Quote:
According to verse 15, long hair is the symbolic covering that God has given her.
Verse 15. A woman’s hair is given for her glory and for a covering to satisfy the requirements of the preceding verses.
Salvation is not based on hair length but on a continuing relationship of faith in Jesus Christ. “The just shall live by faith” (Romans 1:17). In this saving relationship, we will grow in grace and knowledge (II Peter 3:18), grace will teach us how to live righteously (Titus 2:11-12), and we will partake of and pursue God’s holiness (Hebrews 12:10, 14). If we deliberately and persistently disobey God’s commands, our actions call into question the reality of our relationship of faith in God. Obedience indicates faith, while disobedience indicates lack of faith. (See Romans 1:5; 10:16-17; Hebrews 11:7-8.)
