So what does that verse mean to you in the context of THIS discussion? how is it valuable?

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."

Nah, it's about a veil.

The only time I visited the Alexandria Church on a Sunday morning was about 30 years ago. That morning Br. G. A. Mangun , Sr preached against ladies cutting hair anywhere on the head, this included eyebrows or upper lips! Needless to say, I was surprised to hear this, and did not follow his instruction.

So, if it's wrong for a woman to shave/cut/trim God-given hair anywhere "on the head" wherever it manifests itself: ears, nose, forehead, upper lip, chin, etc. is it necessary for a man to shave/cut/trim all those places?

And this doesn't even address other theological moral issues such as manscaping.

I had a pastor that used to say, "The most uncommon thing in the world is common sense."
