We have works in Kenya and I promise you they do NOT shave their girls heads. Some are even going to college so they have made it through it.

I was told on one island the natives had a practice of EVERY male having sex with a male before they went into manhood for some crazy reason. But the saints would not do that.

1. Does "for this cause" refer to the fallen angels?

Don't know.

2. Does a woman's cut hair identify her as rebellious to her husband and God?

No, but some Apostolics believe that though. I have never seen any scripture that backs up that false doctrine.

3. Does the woman join league with the enemy against her husband when she cuts it? After all, the serpent's goal was to steal earthly dominion from the man.

No, but there may be Apostolics that believe this though.

Maybe not, but it does say she was created for the man. Do words mean anything?

[Steve Epley]

A lady saint in not covering her head:

1. Dishonors her husband or father.
2. Is uncomely when she prays.
3. Is tha same as shaving her head
4. has NO symbol of authority (power) on her head
5. in some form dishonors elect angels or aligns with evil angels?
6. cannot worship in the Corinthian church nor any Church of God
7. Disregards Paul's edict on this subject.

And if you want to know what covering is being spoken of the ONLY defined covering in the chapter is long(let her hair grow) hair. Paul said that NOT I.

We've got the cart before the horse.

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.

Here's a thought. Maybe many want to ignore what Jesus said because they have a hard time loving their brother.

Blume!!!

Yes. That's much better than saying "Bless God! Ya'll are going straight to thee pit o' hell if'n ya trim yourn hair! Thus saith the Word of the Lord!!"

If you say so. It has been my experience, that, when relationship is taught, 'rules' aren't such an issue.

As the old song goes:

Serving God is beautiful
Serving the King of kings
I serve Him because I love Him, you see
Serving God is beautiful to me

It's true that when relationship is taught, rules aren't much of an issue from pew or pulpit alike!
