Of course, I heard a fellow preacher tell me when his wife was diagnosed with cancer, the doctor told her to go ahead and shave her head since she would loose her hair. He told me they told the Dr. they would never do such a thing because her hair was God's glory.

This is how twisted and convoluted this doctrine has become.

I also know of situations where parents disowned their daughter because she cut her hair.

Is it any wonder the world thinks of Pentecostals are cultic ?

This is like the "no beard" issue. Many Apostolic Christians now understand it is not sin to have a beard. Yet where are the Churches one could wear one without offence?

On this forum it appears a good number of Saints know its not a sin for women to trim. Where are the Churches that stand by this truth?

This might be off the subject just a tad, but according to those who believe a womans hair should be long, their idea of long is "uncut." Obviously some womens hair grows longer than others, but thats no problem, because long is, according to them, "uncut." So a woman who doesn't cut her hair and it only grows to her shoulders has long hair and a woman who has hair to the floor, as long as it is uncut is long...

Now the same ones preach against men having long hair, right? If long is "uncut" then a man could have hair down to his rear end and as long as he cuts, trims, or whatever it is not long, right?

There is something wrong with the logic or long being "uncut!"

Why is it that those who propagated these doctrines didn't have any logic or commons sense to think them through. Also, what's worse is why do people ck their brains at the door not to see the loopholes.
