I'm not sure that I agree with DS on that, although, he asks some good questions. I'm wondering if they are necessary questions after reading the overall text. I'm still studying on that portion of the paper.

Now, I have heard for myself, that LS likens our hair, on the same level as a witch, to the power the witch holds in her hair. Whether or not they do is not the question here. LS believes they do. It appears that KH is in agreement with LS and that is where the disconnect and error lies.

It is a fine line, from what I've seen, on the individual interpretation. That is where the subtle error can remain floating if we don't lock it down. Some have explained to me that their obedience is their "power". That still does not make it correct to define "power" as "miraculous" in I Cor 11.

DKB defines "power" as "authority". It appears that LS and KH define "power" as "miraculous power" found in the Book of Acts. Not the same thing - at all! I Cor 11 and Acts do not use the same definition.

They both need to read the article!

I heard an extensive dissertation by LS as he carefully developed the definition of power as exousia, authority, including all the implications implied by this word. He does NOT define power as dunamis. Also his anectodal references to "letting hair down" are in agreement with DKB's allowance for such an unconfentional act as a means of "focusing individual faith". I would say that LS is in agreement with both DKB and DS regarding the understanding that there are NO "magical powers" in the substance of the hair, and LS never suggests to "let down hair" in order to access "supernatural magical powers" as some slanderous and libellous individual would like to suggest. Everyone Gould read both DKB's and DS's papers, take not of the areas they agree on, and make allowances for differing opnions in the areas where they disagree.
