Re: Is it a sin for women to shave, pluck or other

I know I shouldn't be, but I am still shocked about some things that were taught in some churches. My Mom was the authority on when I could shave my legs, not my pastor. Were some of y'all grown and taught not to shave your legs?

Re: Is it a sin for women to shave, pluck or other

All this over how we should look by the standards of what our individual churches believes. Insane! Jesus never saved our body, He saved our spirit. When we die, if we do, then this carnal body will return to the ground from where it came. I realized the verse referring to this being the temple of the Holy Ghost,and if that is the case then why not listen to Him and find some modest level in faith where a lady or man, are not being vain in their appearance and yet not so odd that it's getting more attention in public than what would be, in the sight of God, acceptable.If we are going to live in the Old Covenant then we need to realize in our reality ream which covenant is in force and which is not.
Going to hell doctrine because you shave your underarms or legs or God is going to punish you, that stuff is just not common sense at all..

Re: Is it a sin for women to shave, pluck or other

How is shaving your eyebrows having to do with a distinction between the sexes? Surely nature would have let men lose their eyebrow hair, just as they do with hair on their head, if nature was infact teaching them a lesson. LOL. I Cor 11 only applies nature to hair "on the head." Huge distinction there! Men, shave your eyebrows! That's nuts. If women weren't allowed to shave their legs, them I'm sure that their leg hair would be thicker than men leg hair. Surely nature would have taught us that too. >.> Therefore, it is not a sin to shave your legs. Plus, if men go bald as they age, then why aren't they losing their eyebrow hair? This thread is pointless.

I Cor 11 is about hair on the "head."
