Re: Uncut Hair
 

It is not referring to trimming or cutting hair.

Re: Uncut Hair
 

"Let her be shorn" cut close like shearing sheep. Ko One would say. "Oh she trimmed her hair"

Re: Uncut Hair
 

What are you seeing in it?.....


1 Cor 11:5 But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.

6 For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.

Re: Uncut Hair
 

Could you elaborate please?Are you meaning Paul was speaking against a particular kind of hair cut?

Re: Uncut Hair
 

And Paul after this tarried there yet a good while, and then took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow.
Acts 18:18 KJV

If shorn just means cut, did he cut his head since it says
"Having shorn his head"? No, a shorn head is cutting it real close like when I entered the army.

Re: Uncut Hair
 

No, that when it says shorn/shaven it is refering to a type of hair cut, not just cutting hair. It's a shame for a women to have a shorn head. That's why even military don't do it to women when they go to boot camp.

6 For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.



I think Paul may have been saying that if they are bald, wear a temporary covering.(not sure)



But Paul says this about the Long Hair.....

14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?

15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.

Re: Uncut Hair
 

should a woman wear a veil when praying or prophesying?

Re: Uncut Hair
 

Could the 1st century church demanded partial coverings for short haired sisters?

Re: Uncut Hair
 

Isn't it interesting no where is women commanded to not cut there hair? No where in all the law
