This is the problem with our movement, we have taken one scripture and misused it for our benefit. We have done the scriptures injustice for taking this one scripture and abusing it. Not only that, we twist the Greek word to fit our model. Paul left it at "let the hair grow long" for a reason.

That being said, it is neither right nor wrong to cut hair on a woman. I have heard the question from people, "how do you define what long is?" Fortunately, I do not have to, Paul took care of that when he wrote the Greek word for long hair which means tresses of hair (or what we would call a ponytail today). Ok sorry for the soapbox stance.


God bless

This is also how I view the issue. Good post.
