I've been trying to stay out of this debate, but I did have a thought last night, and I'm curious what others think of this. I don't personally believe anyone who preaches or teaches women having long hair endows a blessing upon them, is actually teaching the hair itself is the source of the blessing. I'm certainly open to being proven wrong, but I don't see that myself. Allow me to provide an analogy, that came to me during service last night, to clarify what I mean.

When we speak in tongues, do we place the emphasis on the physical tongue itself, or even in the speaking in other tongues? No, we see speaking in tongues simply as a physical representation of what's taking place in the spiritual. I do remember a trend a while back, from either grossly ignorant or self-deluded people, who were trying to teach others to speak in tongues (remember "seemybowtieseemetiemybowtie"?). However, the tongues does nothing without the spiritual component behind it.

One could argue the same is true of women and uncut hair. It's not that the hair itself is anything special, rather it serves as a physical representation of what's taking place in the spiritual. A women could have the longest hair in the world, but not have any blessing, because the spiritual aspect isn't present.

I believe someone else in the comments made a similar point, but I can't recall who and can't be bothered to go through 8 pages of comments to find it. I just wanted to post this thought I had, and see what you all think of it.

The thing is this, it is easy to have the outer symbols, hair, clothing, tongue talking. But spirituality as spiritual maturity is another thing. This is a journey just you and Jesus. If we are doing things to be seen of men, then we lose. We are as lost as a goose in a windstorm. Because while we may get the approval of men, we have not the approval of God. Who we are in the dark is the person really are.

Well, we have half of an entire chapter of teaching devoted to the head covering written by an apostle, yet he never mentioned anything about answered prayer, spiritual power, spiritual authority to command angels, or practically anything else that is being debated when "holy magic hair" comes up as a topic.

I hesitated to add this to the discussion, but...Years ago when this first made the rounds, I had a Pastor who attended a conference with LS as the main speaker. After returning home, he spoke of the hair teaching. In the process of the service, all the women were asked to take their hair down or to at least grab and hold their hair while we prayed(only the women were asked to pray). He made the statement that we would release supernatural powers by doing this. Once prayer was over, he made a statement and said, "men", do you notice the difference when the women " use" their hair"? Didn't believe in it then, don't believe in it now .

I sorrow to read of such tragedy.
