I said non supportive things about the teaching of the power of uncut hair.

Please, anyone, answer these questions as I find the notion of "holy magic hair" laughable yet recognizing the value of personal convictions and committed consecrations.


Is he really preaching of power in the uncut hair, or the Holy Ghost power available to the women who practice this consecration (in connection to their faith in God)?


Is it wrong to think that Christians who do live a life of consecration(s) would have closer walk with the Lord? Paul assails vain religious piety, but does he negate the concept of consecrations and convictions?


Would that closer walk with the Lord (birthed out of a life of consecration) not be made manifest in the natural and spiritual circumstances of life-- maybe even if it was only some of the time?


Or are consecrations of no consequence in God's economy?


Are anointed people anointed from doing nothing to deepen their relationship with the Lord?


I know one can do all the standards perfectly and still not be saved, but isn't there anyone else here besides me who know of precious saints, praying men and women who practice some consecrations in connection with their faith? Aren't these people mighty people in God's Kingdom?

Aren't these people closer to the Lord than other saved people who have not developed any or are even lazy in their devotions without any consecration to speak of?

[Jermyn Davidson]

And Biblically, what makes religious piety vain? The intents behind the practices, right?


Or does Paul assail the very notion of religious piety? If this is the case, then there would be no argument for any standards or convictions at all.

I think the issue is not whether personal consecration and sacrifice are a good thing.... the issue is when you insist that everyone else must follow suit.
