Nature teaches us that a woman's long hair is her glory. As I mentioned when talking about cancer in a previous post.
'we have no such custom' - scholars have filled books debating exactly which custom Paul was referring to.... wearing a veil, contention, or long hair, or.....

I'm confused. We should just ignore Paul's letters because he seemingly pulled things out of thin air? What about his teaching on grace? There were things he wrote about grace that I don't find anywhere else in the Bible. If we're going to discount one thing that he wrote based upon the fact that it was just for that church, then we must discount it all. This man had a walk with God, just like Moses did. Why should we obey the Ten Commandments and not
1 Cor. 11?
I won't deny the 'we have no such custom' debate, but why would Paul make such a bold statement such as "Doth not even nature teach you" and then go on to say, "Ignore what I just wrote. We have no such custom."
