Re: Uncut Hair
It is about long hair/short hair.
The question is, how long is okay, and how short is okay?

... which, ultimately, is a cultural issue.
One of the key parts to that whole passage to me is the phrase, " if it is a shame"...
There are situations where it is not a shameful for a woman to have short hair.
Besides, I am pretty sure that if we could go back 2,000 years ago, we would see the women wearing actual head coverings (in addition to their hair).
Scriptures were written (and even later translated) within the context of the culture of the human writer.

Re: Uncut Hair
An example of culture affecting the translation of scriptures is something I read about a long time ago concerning an Old Testament passage that the original KJV "mis-translated".
At the end of one particularly brutal Old Testament battle, King David and his men went through and physically emasculated their wounded enemies. The KJV describes the brutality as, "cutting off the mens' tails".

Yes, true, some women cannot grow long hair.
Besides, I am pretty sure that if we could go back 2,000 years ago, we would see the women wearing actual head coverings (in addition to their hair).

True, but 1 Cor. 11 uses only HAIR as a covering method. nothing else is mentioned. Vails are an assumption, because they are not mentioned as a covering.
If they were also mentioned by Paul, then Paul was commanding them to be double covered.

Re: Uncut Hair
My Apostolic relative had a wife dying of cancer.
She was raised Apostolic and did not cut her hair.
She took chemo and her hair was falling out in clumps.
She cut it and wore a wig until her death.
Her husband, a carnal, standard enforcer, was floored, when she cut her matted hair off and bought a wig.
He figured she sinned and backslid when she did what she did.
She was twice the Christian that her husband could ever be.
But in his mind, she sinned.
Weird, but true.

Re: Uncut Hair
JD, there is no such verse in the KJV. The word tails occurs 4 times, and none of them are as you described. Obviously, you are prone to making outrageous claims without doing any fact checking. I'll keep that in mind for future reference.

Sean - you have stepped WAY over the line here!!!!
I know you, your wife, her relative and that relative's husband. Her husband may have been somewhat surprised - even shocked and hurt that she cut her hair - but I don't for one minute believe that he thinks she isn't in heaven . Furthermore - since you started this - I will go so far as to say that he and his wife and your wife are three times the Christian you could ever be.  JMHO

Re: Uncut Hair
It is not long or short that is the issue, but it is cut or uncut.
1Cor. 11:6 but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered
It is a shame for a woman's hair to be shorn(cut). How long is long? What ever length it naturally grows to.

Yes, that is true, but what about the friend of ours that has hair dragging on the floor?
She cut it to knee length, but it is still longer than any sister I know.?
