The mistake of Religion

[*AQuietPlace*]

Monterey, do you mind if I ask a question of you? I hope it's not too much of a hijack, it's just something I was curious about.

In the tithing thread, you mentioned that you believe that a NT doctrine should always have an OT basis. So I was curious what you personally believe about women cutting their hair. If you believe that I Cor. teaches against it, where would you find that basis in the OT?

That's the first thing that made me question the non-cut hair doctrine..... the fact that I could find no support for that anywhere else in the entire Bible.

Just curious about your position on it. If you don't want to discuss it, no problem.

Good question, one which I will strive to answer. Give me a little time.

Just to let you know this was one of the things I studied, my conclusion was that Paul was dealing with a custom of his day. My understanding of some of Pauls teachings were that he did in fact instruct churches concerning the way we should react to customs. We do not want to present ourselves in a negative light to the world. In his day it was a shame for a women to have cut hair and to have her head uncovered when she was in public. Therefore if it is a shame for a women to be shaven or shorn let her be covered. In our society it is no longer a shame for a women to be shorn. So it is no longer a issue for a women to cut her hair. So long as she is in submision to her head, her husband or father. Of course this does not give the man a macho authority either. We need to understand what God ment by submision of women to man. Sorry if I came in on your discusion with Montery but I could not help myself.
