Yeah, but does anyone really care what Jesus said about that???

And, to clarify, I believe that the Word of God verifies this.

Perhaps the aggravation of having shaggy hair and not being able to fix it could be one of the reasons she backslid anyway. There are many too many other ways to be rebellious if one so chooses.

Ms. marthaolivia, if you really and truly believe the sentence I bolded in your post, then I am concerned about your understanding of what a relationship with Jesus is all about.

What significance did this have to the church in Corinth ?
What is the background behind Paul's explaination to the church ?

Why did the apostle Paul mention this issue of headship, and then go right into addressing the Corinthian church's abuse of the observance of the Lord's Supper?

It would also be another mark of "seperation" that seems so important to OP's.

If they did this then not only would the women be easy to spot at Wal Mart and the Mall "showing their glory" but the men would be distinctive also!!!

As it is they can look like every other guy in the world. With my idea when you see a group of OP men you would KNOW they are "different" and "peculiar" (just like their wives) since they would all be bald as cue balls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hey, now, you behave yourself, mister!!!! My husband is well on his way to that 'distinction' (or is it extinction - of his hair, anyway), so one of these days we will be the couple that will fit your post.

Then He doesn't mind if she does her hair to please her husband? Right?:sshhh

It just blows me away. Jesus chastised the Pharisees and likened them unto whitened sepulchres. Clean on the outside, but inside they were full of dead mens bones.
Jesus proclaimed that men would know that we are His disciples if we had love for our brothers.

We've got the cart before the horse.

You're preaching now. The bible never said the OUTWARD indicates we are separate and we are His. That was the point of emphasis amongst the pharisees.

Luk 20:46 KJV Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes...

And yet people ask, "How are we separate then?" as if there is no way to conceive separation just as Jesus mentioned it... love for one another.
