Good question.

And, as I have already stated earlier, this is a white people's conversation.

What I was taught is this.

when a woman cuts her Hair it is because she has an authority problem with Males and that it is always because she has a disobedient spirit.
also that the feminist movement in America taught the women to rebel against male leadership. It's all related the submission to the hair

Thad, the problem is, there is no Biblical support for this doctrine. None whatsoever.

There were rebellious people all over the Bible, most of them being men. Rebellion is a heart matter, not caused by something one does.

Most women in this country would laugh at such a notion. The only women who wouldn't are those who believe that doctrine, but they stand on shaky ground.

I was never taught that way at all -- that if a woman cuts her hair it's because she has an authority problem with males. I don't think I have an "authority problem with males". If I had a problem with authority it would be more likely with females than with males.

If a woman is obedient and submissive overall but not obedient to the interpretation and thusly the demand made in regard to long hair -- then what about that? It's not because she is a rebel and has a disobedient spirit overall. Her demeanor and behavior says the opposite. This is true in many cases.

well i don't know what to tell you Ladies, all i know is that what i said is the mind set of the traditional apostolic church like it or not. They teach that uncut hair has to do with submission to authority. it does talk about it some place in there
also, i know you have heard pastors teach that when pants and cut hair was introduced in American culture, that's when things started slowly going down hill. after that, they took prayer out of the schools, then we had the hippie uprising and the feminist movement against Men, etc

That's sick, Thad. Real sick.

Jesus didn't claim He had healing in His clothing, nor did He encourage people to touch His clothing. He was also God in the flesh, which makes a huge difference as to her actions.

If she'd done that to your pastor, yes, I'd say she had some sort of problem of the mental flavor.
This stupid thread is still going...

The cut hair folks aren't gonna budge because they've given up on biblical teaching no matter how much they say it isn't biblical or how loud they say it and will only ridicule anything spiritual that has to do with hair. The uncut hair folks aren't gonna budge either because our faith in the word of God supercedes ridicule and innuendo.

Here's what I say, it is fear and unbelief that the cut hair crowd gets foaming at the mouth whenever holiness, power and uncut hair are in the same senctence.

See, this is the problem with many people - they don't know what the scripture really says, they only know what they've been taught, and they say, "I know its in there somewhere". But where? What does the Bible really say about the correlation between long hair and submission?

Too many people rely on tradition and teaching instead of studying the issue for themselves.

This is not against you Thad, it's just indicative of the way we were taught.

There is no way in the world that glory can be compared with power...there is no magic to my uncut hair...none!!

And I know you're just yanking my chain as it were and it's okay...
