Did you get this out of 1 Corinthians 11 also?

I'm so glad my Cass has her head on straight.

See? you just reinforced what DA said about your posts. This is why so many men don't like going to a womans church...they are MEN! WE got all these women whining about where the men are...why husbands don't go to church. It's because of this kind of attitude.

See the real problem is her long hair is supposed to be a symbol of the man's position in order of creation on her head. What we got now is women rebelling against that and making it instead something entirely different. Maybe that is what is really wrong with the church today?

Is your church weak church?

Our church has as many men praying in the prayer rooms, prayer chains, and leading home prayer as women. They step right on up to that plate - every time there is a need.

And, as a woman, I don't "compromise" and most of the women in church that I know don't "compromise." We DON'T believe there is power in our hair. Yet, we still have souls coming to God, our men are strong and they pray, we pray, and our kids pray.

The original photos were first posted on Jakes' blog, from several picture angles, showing him with a diamond stud in his left ear. By the end of the day, on the same website the pictures showed him with no earrings;the pics appeared to have been doctored. By then, the original pics had already been posted on several websites, blogs,etc, and emailed all over the place. That's what made it look real bad, because it seems evident that a coverup was taking place.

I'm not going to crucify the man for his earring, but by him [or his staff] having the pictures altered, it gives the appearance of deception. Not good.

Still, my biggest issue with Jakes is not the earring thing. Its theological. I think his theological positioning carries a lot more eternal weight to it than does a diamond stud in his ear.

It's just my personal opinion.
I wouldn't wear either but the piercings are a step further
in the wrong direction IMO

They are both jewelry. The bible doesn't make any distinction between them.
If a necklace is ok, then a earring should be ok too.
Or if an earring is wrong, then a necklace should be too.

But its strange to me that G Craige Lewis, a man who wears a necklace, would be criticizing another man for wearing an earring.
It's simply inconsistent.

This picture was taken at the Alabama's Ladies retreat. Sis Patty Twyman took down her hair to summon the power of the angels over the prayer requests. Many prayers were answered.

Wow! Why not leave it down all the time, why bind up the power? This is very disturbing.
