"For This Cause" A Discussion About Angelic Hair

[marthaolivia]

From the dictionary:

shave--to cut off (hair, as the beard) at the surface of the skin.

shear (shorn)--to remove(hair, wool) by cutting.

I don't know if there is much of a distinction.

My bad...

There shouldn't be any decorum violation, as a bare-headed woman in any congregation, lest it offend any ministering angels which are always present.

About now is when the OP's that are convinced international symbols uphold their doctrine should jump in and point out that the international symbol for a man on men's bathrooms shows a very short haried clean shaven man!!!!!!!!!!!

What is the background behind Paul's explaination to the church ?

Everything Paul dealt with to the Corinthians was outward issues, since they were too carnal for him to deal with them spiritually.

Favouring certain preachers, taking each other to court, abusing communion supper, tolerance of people fornicating with parents, marriage and being single, eating meats offered to idols in idol temples, disallowing preachers a financial income from church, chaos and disorderliness with use of gifts of Spirit, disbelief about future physical resurrection of Church, handling offerings for poor, etc. AND HAIR AND COVERINGS.

And look what topics on forums get the most traffic in light of the above. lol.

Let the Corinthians RULE.

Although I appreciate the thought pattern, he did deal with some inward, spiritual issues as well.



But the majority does seem to be outward issues...
