Hair brings spiritual power message. 😳

That’s what he said.

How many freaky cultists are out there whose dress standards and hair put most UPC types to shame? Hippies (real bona fide hippies) are often more modestly dressed than a lot of today's UPC folks, hair and all.



Uncut hair = power over the devil, then. You just affirmed the magic hair doctrine, albeit likely unawares.



1 Corinthians 15:46 KJV
Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.

Does the Bible teach "EVERYTHING that happens in the physical FIRST took place in the spiritual"? Because the verse I posted sure seems to read the exact opposite. However, I do know that in Wicca and other occultic systems and religions, it is definitely affirmed that EVERYTHING that happens in the physical FIRST happens in the spiritual. "As above, so below", and all that.

Well, you did it once again.

I wish I could post like you

I cringe when I read some of the things I posted over a decade ago on forums. Thankfully Big Brother Google has made sure the only things that show up in searches are paid advertisements.

LOL It's a coincidence, just saying you have a good name.

We are all learning, and that's a good thing.

What I have heard about men backsliding is not that they grow their hair long, but that they grow facial hair. But yet I have never found any Bible for a prohibition against facial hair or a command to wear facial hair.

You tell me, do you believe in facial hair?

How are they going through the motions?

Did I?

Please tell me with my post how I reaffirmed my supposed belief in "magic hair"? I said your submission is what brings power, am I wrong? Is the covering really a little napkin on your wife's head?

Lol!

Brother you know very well what I posted is true. You mentioned going through the motions in the beginning of your post. When does a saint begin to backslid? Do they just one day wake up and decide to sin uncontrollably? No, if first takes place in their spirit, before you ever see anything in the physical it first took place in the spiritual.

Just so you know, Sis. The scene in the film the gif is from is meant to be humorous and light-hearted. I shared the gif in the same way: to be humorous and light-hearted.
