Re: Shave my Head, Wear a Beard - New Conviction?

I think we should all wear sandals and white dresses.

If I as a minister am going to hold a standard of long uncut hair for woman, based on my style of interpreting scripture, then how can I do anything less than preach a standard of shaved or shorn heads for men, and they wear a beard for separation of the sexes??

Seriously, how could you in good conscience, preach/teach any different??
I think CAD/JPY should admit to writing the Holiness for Men article.

Re: Shave my Head, Wear a Beard - New Conviction?

Does anyone have an official position on shaving arms and armpits?? Is it good bad or ugly?

Well, there are some churches that don't allow it. Or shaved legs.

My official position is that it's mandatory. For women.

(oh, wait, not shaved arms.... unless you have really hairy, man-looking arms )

Perhaps you are Islamic.

Wikpedia

"Trimming or completely removing pubic hair has become a custom in many cultures. In Islamic societies, for example, removing the pubic hair is a religiously endorsed practice."

Paul starts off with
1Co 11:3 But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.

1Co 11:7 For a man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God, but woman is the glory of man.
1Co 11:8 For man was not made from woman, but woman from man.
1Co 11:9 Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.
1Co 11:10 That is why a wife ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.

Notice verse 10..."that is why". refers to the antecedent subject being discussed.

It is a symbol of authority, symbolizing Order of creation and headship.

1Co 11:15 but if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For her hair is given to her for a covering.

Try being a guy and having to LIVE with a woman with all the icky hormonal, cramps and childbirth junk.
