I thought I knew that was what you meant. LOL!

But my point is it's easier to convince kids not to have pre-marital sex. It is clear in the bible and all churches (I think all churches) agree on this point.

The hair cutting thing... not that simple. Obviously.

I meant no disrespect.

Long is subjective. Since it's a shame for a man to have long hair, we must has short hair, how short is short?

Considering you are using Peter's words incorrectly. The point of to there own destruction is not because they lived a more separated life but because they sinned and broke God's law due to a miss understanding of Grace and Pauls teaching which would have been contradictive to the whole of scripture and the words of the Apostles and Jesus. Seriously I don't think this is a to your own destruction type argument and if you do because people are separating themselves even more so to him right or wrong.... Then you are applying the whole of Peter's words in reverse.

Louw, J. P., & Nida, E. A. (1996, c1989). Greek-English lexicon of the New Testament : Based on semantic domains (electronic ed. of the 2nd edition.) (1:526). New York: United Bible societies.

Other languages may need it to be translated, but that is not the case for the way it is used in the Bible. I am not up on my greek translations (working on it), but at blueletterbible.org the definition given for κομάω is :
1) to let the hair grow, have long hair

It does not seem to be translated into "uncut" in this passage. I believe there was also a Greek word for uncut at the time, which one would imagine he would have used.

I believe "akoptos" is Greek for uncut.

Are the churches who teach this taking scripture to extreme and out of context?

What say ye?

I happened to run across this page and thought you might like to take a look at it and see where it seems most who veil are coming from. (i assume, and we know what that will do to us) =)

BLB relies on Strongs....Strongs is a weak tool for bible language studies.

It's meaning is "to let the hair grow" and the reason the greek scholar I quoted said what he did is obvious to me...how can you let the hair grow long if you are cutting it?

However that does not in my opinion turn into an absolute nor negate cosmetic trimming. The point seems to me is that she is to allow her hair to grow out pretty much as long as she can get it...allow it to grow to full length. I don't believe that is an absolute command though where heaven and hell hinge on. This is about headship and distinction in the sexes. Not about having power or about salvation.


But that is what the word means "to let the hair grow"

So how long is "long"? "to let the hair grow"

Why would any Christian be GLAD about someone else wrestling the scriptures to their own destruction? Can you answer that S5ST?

I don't think long is THAT subjective.
