Shame on women wearing their hair down,it's bedroom hair you know,and that's the law,just because a preacher said so too.

If you are gonna swallow the uncut hair doctrine, i would think it would require you to wear it down

If it is in fact your "veil" you just gotta wear it down and let it cover your neck and shoulders and as much of your face as possible. No matter if you are young or old, married or single.

To claim long hair as your veil and to pile it on top of your head and wrap it in pop knot on top yo head and then to claim you have long hair...
..well that is about as consistent as any other of our doctrines.

Does our culture have a extremely negative symbol about women with their hair down? No? Well, then what is our concern? Elder Epley, why do you believe a woman should wear it down? You also believe a woman's hair is not just her glory (beauty) but a spiritual glory, should she not present that?

Some, male and female, never heard what I REALLY said. They heard what they
WANTED to hear. It better served their spirit. The are many spirits gone out into
the world today. Opposing, resisting, deceiving, hindering, vexing, provoking
spirits, etc.

Never was I told or taught, to wear my hair up or down.

I made some comments as to why I wore my hair up, as a young mother and
wife. I also made the following statement:

"This is not in anyway, to speak against a woman that feels otherwise.
This is MY personal story, fifty yrs, after the fact".

I never heard of the "magic hair" term until I heard it on AFF.

If the Bible (Word) had itemized every thing, there would have been no need for
the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of Truth to come. The truth was hid from the wise (in
their own eyes) and prudent, and revealed unto babes (open humble spirit willing
to receive).

I feel very sorry for some young mothers and fathers, even ministers, today with
young and teenage children, and grandchildren.

Instead of opposing and resisting the things my elders told me, we didn't back talk
and although we DID NOT understand the reasoning of some of their words, we
listened, respected and waited.... at least until we became adults.

If we don't listen to our godly parents as children, we will answer to GOd
as adults.

Ever notice how many times in Rev.3, it says, He that hath an ear, let him hear what
the Spirit saith to the churches. It is not just to the church but to as many as are led
(a choice) by the Spirit of God. A teachable spirit is not something we see in
abundance today, sad to say.

Falla, and there you have it. Some get defensive with anyone's conviction, sensitive that you are condemning them. I think it's fine if a lady feels it's more enduring to wear her hair up, or even if God would be more pleased with it. That's what Holiness is... asking God what pleases Him most and doing it in spite of everyone else.

Women are not required to wear their hair up or down. Where are we getting all these questions about requirements? The truth is... the uncut hair doctrine is an honest misinterpretation of I Corinthians 11. Paul was addressing a modesty issue in the Corinthian church. The "covering" is exactly that, a "covering". For a Corinthian being unveiled was considered immodest. The statement regarding a woman's hair being given her as a covering is part of Paul's comparison with nature to demonstrate that if nature veils her naturally... her head should be covered in church gatherings. In today's culture a woman isn't considered immodest or shaming her head (meaning her husband) if she doesn't wear a covering. However, this principle can apply to mini-skirts, low cut blouses, and clothing that is too tight or revealing. Modesty is the key, and the shaming of one's husband by appearing immodest was the issue.

But... if one is convicted to never cut their hair and to wear it a certain way because they feel it's necessary... that's one's choice.
