I put in shorn, cut to search on the web and this article came up. I'm not endorsing it because I don't know this guy from adam, but it's a good read.

This part I cannot understand. I think we have all done this.

Some insist that a woman is to have "long hair" which, to them, means hair that is not cut or trimmed by sissors. Yet if they see a man with hair that hangs down over his ears, even though a several inches have been cut off by sissors, they smoothly change their definition and say he is a shame because he has "long hair," quoting 1 Corinthians 11:14.

I think that's what he is saying too - he doesn't understand it.

Maybe we should respect each other and not call names...live what we preach and preach what we live...nothing more nothing less...

I agree - it's a PERSONAL conviction anyway.

We did all that in a skirt! Canoeing in a skirt.... I rode horses in a skirt... I have swimmed in a skirt... And we had soo much fun.!,!,!

I agree!!! However I do usually wear coulottes when I go canoeing or horse back riding. But I have played tons of sports in a skirt and have went sledding and snow tubing, ice skating etc.......it can be done!!! I have never once regretted living the way I live even as a teenager!

This is ridiculous teaching and false.

Paul addressed the "custom" of wearing veils. It was a "CUSTOM" only ! Not a biblical requirement.

To make his point that a Corinthian woman should veil, he compared a woman who refused to wear a veil when in temple to a woman who had her head shaved bald as a punishment for her whoredom or adultery.

It is accepted fact among historians of this age, that forced head shaving was a PUNISHMENT done to a woman who was found in adultery in that culture.

Paul's comparrison of a woman who would not veil in temple as bringing equal shame upon her husband for not veiling as a woman who had her head forcibly shaved as a punishment, is in NO WAY forbiding a women to of her own volition cut or trim some of the length of her hair.

Paul's later mention of a women having long hair and a man not having long hair, is simply another analogy Paul is using to demonstrate that there are cutural differences between men and women in hair length.

That women veil when in "church" and men do not is the point in 1 cor 11

Think about it....if we have been wrong in our teaching of the never cut doctrine....and I believe with all my heart that "we" are wrong...where will we stand on judgment day.

Will God hold us accountable for the souls we have may have run off or discouraged over this teaching?

OK..I'm done now....Blast away.
