*This is untrue. Just take the time to read all of the references and direct quotes already posted on this thread (which seems obvious you have not done).

Pick any translation out there and show me uncut hair specifically mentioned in any of these verses.

*Silly, all you have to do is scroll up to read a ton of sources that specifically state that it's a disgrace for women to "cut or trim their hair."

*Of course, to be fully expected, you wouldn't believe them if John the Baptist walked into your house, opened your Bible and pointed right to them :happydance.

This may seem redundant, but could you elaborate on exactly what you mean by this? What is meant by "the immediate context will be the only determiner of the word meaning" as applied to the passage in question (1 Cor 11a)? I mean, can you walk us through the verses and show how the context determines the meaning of the disputed words?

Also Bro Esaias, would you please show how 1 Cor 11 is based on an ordinance rather than a cultural requirement that is outdated.

Dude that's in the word meaning. Thats like how nominal Christians say "show me one passage that says you have to speak in tongues to be saved." But, Carry on...

How often this argument is used over and over again, when this hasn't even been said, and usually in the most so called trivial or subjects.

I have one question, be honest what do y'all think that means, why is that done?

No one has said or suggested this is a heaven or hell issue?

This is not "control" or "dominance by fear-mongering," but eternity is obviously a very serious matter."

Apparently it's a heaven or hell issue.

I have certainly heard it preached as a heaven/hell issue.
My first pastor preached it as such for 15 years+ before he went TD Jakes on us.

There would be no fuss if this was not a heaven/hell issue.

I have never heard it preached as a heaven or hell issue, but the undercurrent was always implied. And I have heard it explained as, "It is better to be safe than sorry", which doesn't help the discussion. Very confusing.

He's not talking about the issue of just the hair, I'm sure. But if you are living in utter rebellion to the Word, then that will increase and enlarge, and it will be a Salvational issue! Thus that turns it into a heaven or hell issue. Not just the hair in itself though. Theres alot more that goes with that, because you don't follow the Word you can't even be right in God's sight, and you definitely can't have a perfect heart before Him. Just read the Kings and Chronicles, if you want to know how serious that is.

Hebrews 10:28-31 "He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: [29] Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God (who is the Word of God), and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? [30] For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. [31] It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God."
