Shave my Head, Wear a Beard - New Conviction?
 

Hello all,

I told my wife this morning, that if I was to really believe a women must have long, UNCUT hair, then after reading the "Holiness for Men" article, I really truly feel like I would have a new conviction to keep my head shaved, and wear a beard.

If I as a minister am going to hold a standard of long uncut hair for woman, based on my style of interpreting scripture, then how can I do anything less than preach a standard of shaved or shorn heads for men, and they wear a beard for separation of the sexes??

Seriously, how could you in good conscience, preach/teach any different??

You forgot wearing the robe while slowly walking around, chanting, and occasionally hitting your head with a board.

Well, I used to have a full beard, and my hair is departing on its' own......I MUST BE GOD-ORDAINED HOLY!

Re: Shave my Head, Wear a Beard - New Conviction?
 

If they have long uncut hair, why do I need to be completely bald in order to have a separation of sexes....BTW it's not a separation but a distinction...that is IF the whole issue of hair is about a distinction of sexes...WHICH IT IS NOT. So your entire point is moot.

What is it about?

Logical...

Re: Shave my Head, Wear a Beard - New Conviction?
 

Short of shaving, there is another consistent approach to the hair standard: women never cut their hair, and men cut their hair.

Since, as those who hold to the standard claim, a woman cutting her hair even once is a violation, then men cutting theirs once should be enough. Doesn't matter how often or how much. Even if it's just a half inch shorter, it's fine. :winkgrin

You know, it's really unfair. Eve ate one stupid piece of fruit, and women have been punished ever since! They have all the standards! They have all the icky hormonal, cramps, childbirth junk. Not to mention how they are clearly inferior to men and always need to be controlled and bossed around! God must like Men better!

(Good think I don't believe that or I would be really depressed!!)

You think you've got it bad? Us men, why, we gotta .... um,.... we have to uh .... well ... oh, I got it: We have to work really hard to think of ways we're worse off than women! :lol

I think we should all wear sandals and white dresses.

I think CAD/JPY should admit to writing the Holiness for Men article.

Does anyone have an official position on shaving arms and armpits?? Is it good bad or ugly?

Re: Shave my Head, Wear a Beard - New Conviction?
 

Well, there are some churches that don't allow it. Or shaved legs.

My official position is that it's mandatory. For women. :D

(oh, wait, not shaved arms.... unless you have really hairy, man-looking arms ;))

Perhaps you are Islamic.

Wikpedia

"Trimming or completely removing pubic hair has become a custom in many cultures. In Islamic societies, for example, removing the pubic hair is a religiously endorsed practice."

If you pay attention to the threads opposing "magic Hair" you would have read this already/

Paul starts off with
1Co 11:3 But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.

1Co 11:7 For a man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God, but woman is the glory of man.
1Co 11:8 For man was not made from woman, but woman from man.
1Co 11:9 Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.
1Co 11:10 That is why a wife ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.

Notice verse 10..."that is why". refers to the antecedent subject being discussed.

It is a symbol of authority, symbolizing Order of creation and headship.

1Co 11:15 but if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For her hair is given to her for a covering.

Try being a guy and having to LIVE with a woman with all the icky hormonal, cramps and childbirth junk.

Re: Shave my Head, Wear a Beard - New Conviction?
 

I trim my nose and ear hairs. I do own a pair of tweezers.

Re: Shave my Head, Wear a Beard - New Conviction?

Brazilian? What? Did you just post that?

Re: Shave my Head, Wear a Beard - New Conviction?
 

I pay close attention to those threads, but that doesn't mean I remember who says what. :) So I didn't remember your philosophy about hair.

Re: Shave my Head, Wear a Beard - New Conviction?
 

I'm hurt. Here I thought everyone paid attention to my every words.... RENDA???? I think Renda has me on ignore

Re: Shave my Head, Wear a Beard - New Conviction?
 

My wife would say that's because God is a man.

Re: Shave my Head, Wear a Beard - New Conviction?
 

Steve, don't ask and don't tell.
Don't tell me whether you shave arms and armpits and I won't ask.

Re: Shave my Head, Wear a Beard - New Conviction?

I didn't know that removing public hair is a custom in many countries.
Learn something new everyday.

Re: Shave my Head, Wear a Beard - New Conviction?
 

Public hairs should remain private. :ursofunny

Re: Shave my Head, Wear a Beard - New Conviction?
 

pubic, not public

Re: Shave my Head, Wear a Beard - New Conviction?
 

Yes, there is a difference (for some) between public hair and pubic hair.
