Re: Uncut Hair
I , personally look at it this way. I think women SHOULD have uncut hair. If I am asked or the topic is discussed that will be my interpretation and understanding of the scripture. That doesn't mean I am supposed to go out and tell every woman who cuts her hair that she is sinning or doing something wrong, nor am I going to confront people about it.
Firstly, It's not my place and everyone walks their own path. Secondly, not everyone believes exactly the same way I believe (even inside "the church") I don't think it's a salvific issue. I think it is a walk with God issue. Now, I wouldn't marry a woman who did not agree, and if i had a daughter or some other young lady who was under my authority I would teach her it is right for her hair to remain uncut, but it is also her choice when she becomes an adult. I would also teach her that she isn't better than someone else because she has uncut hair. Some women/people have a very haughty spirit about them especially on this issue. To be honest I feel a haughty spirit on your uncut hair is worse than cutting your hair. I see many many times in the bible where God does not look kindly on haughtiness and pride.
It is not my place to go against someone's free will. If a woman wants to cut her hair I would be disappointed but I wouldn't think she is a terrible person or even be the least bit unkind to her. Same with people who have done/do a multitude of other things that are wrong. There are people in this world that do a lot of wrong things and either don't think they are doing wrong or don't know they are doing wrong.
