Re: Church Fathers Opinion of Hair
I am much more concerned with what scripture has to say on the matter, than any "church father."
"St. Paul" wasn't just another church father--he penned scripture under the inspiration of GOD. Therefore, his words were really God's words. BIG difference between what is recorded in scripture, penned by men, and simple writings of men about scripture.
Ergo--I will look to scripture for doctrine, and everything else is just an educated opinion, which may or may not influence my beliefs.
