Re: D. Bernard shares his thoughts about HolyMagic

From reading the passage Bernard quotes, it seems to me that Paul makes the case that the head of the woman is the man and it is the man the is dishonored by her short hair.

The woman is to submit to the man and to show this submission, she should not have short hair.

Question: if the Bible passages that say "cover her head" actually means "uncut hair", why doesn't the Bible just come right out and say plainly, uncut hair?

Is it because the "spirit" of this verse is that the woman should have longer hair than the man to emphasize her submission and thus, her glory?

Something I just got from thinking about this-- submission is glorious!

Wouldn't a literal or strict adherence of this passage require that men have shaved heads?
