I mean, is a woman struggling with cancer that has lost her hair now somehow displeasing to God???
I don't like "butch cuts" on women either. But... am I imposing my preference onto God, assuming that He thinks like me (making Him in my image)... or am I just confessing that I think it's ugly?
A four hundred $ suit is a low to moderate price. Well... maybe I should buy more suits. The most expensive suit I've purchased was $70.
The moment someone says that you have to abide by an unbiblical standard for Heaven, fellowship, or "sanctification"... be it with regards to suits... jewelry... pants... hair... make up... beards... sleeves... etc., they have elevated their traditon above Jesus.
The focus of our sanctification must be a full focus on the person of Christ, and see Him formed in us. |
Though I understand a literal veil is discussed in
Cor. 11, it does also say a woman's long hair is her glory. I don't read that as vain glory, but God-given beauty for the female sex.
No Nazarite vows are being made today, and I have no qualms with various exceptions - especially medical, but in general I believe women should have long hair.
About suits... I really don't do them. The last formal three piece I bought was over 15 years ago when my dad died. J C Penny - paid right at $400.
