Why did Paul make this statement? 1 Corinthians 11
16But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
Perhaps because some cultures, still to this day, have a custom of women shaving their heads, and offering their hair to the gods. Much of the real hair in salons in this country comes from Hindu temples.
1Cr 11:16 But if anyone wants to argue about this, all I can say is that we have no other custom than this, and all the churches of God feel the same way about it.

Coonskinner,thanks for putting so much thought into my question.But i dont put a lot of faith in the NIV or NLT.Do you agree with their interpretation of this verse?
NIV John 3:
16"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,[f] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
NLT John 3:
16 “For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.

Will and shall are pretty much synonyms.
Paul said that to let people no that there was no other custom observed by any church of God.

It means exactly what it says.
I agree that it means exactly what it says.

I was doing a study on Psalms 119 and one Hebrew source said that the term statue would be the same as the word custom in one of it's definition?

I don't see much of a difference in those verses and what the KJV says.

*sigh*
maybe discussion boards are not the best forum for you to engage this issue.
...just wondering....
have you ever engaged an issue on a discussion board and NOT HAD at least three seemingly divergent viewpoints?
