Bro...I'm not trying to be contentious either. I just think we're going to go round and round on this, and not accomplish much.
To me, your own words above, "
multiple exceptions" goes to the very core the issue. They were
exceptions, not the norm. Paul was just spelling out for the saints what the norm is. But the existence of clearly understood and explained exceptions in the Bible does not in anyway negate what Paul stated as being the norm. Thus God
didnt "suddenly change his mind"...as a matter of fact,
he didn't change his mind at all. The fact that they were, as you yourself say, "exceptions" in the OT means that long hair on men etc, was never God's norm. Thus there is really no inconsistency at all, despite what some assert.
To me, it seems pretty straightforward. But what seems clear and logical to me, doesn't seem the same to you... and vice versa. So let's simply agree to disagree, and move on. If either of us is in error on this, may the Lord reveal it to us.
Blessings.
