Where is faith? Where is "in answer to my prayer I believe you for healing"?

Ahhhh ...... but Prax, our understanding of what this woman believes were reduced to ....

Okay, so everything is implied by her comments "My hair is a veil of protection for me and my family." But, she did not say that her hair healed her husband..

*sigh* but to be fair and balanced, I must say... It is my observation that conservatives will side with this hairesy to guard their position on A Woman's Glory: the Long and Short of It

Well not just by that comment. We've bolded and repeated the parts of her prayer that we felt indicated a warped concept.

No, she didn't say expressly that her hair healed her husband and I don't think anyone here things that she thought her hair healed her husband, but that it gave her prayer leverage.

Why did she spread her hair over the child if she didn't feel hair had anything to do with anything? She did refer to it as a veil of protection. It simply .... is not.

I do agree with you... Correction: she spred the hair over her husbands feet

Right. Thanks for the correction!

I was thinking of another woman who prayed for her child and spread her hair over her child. Sorry. Just put it down to little short circuit in the wiring. Happens occasionally even though I try to keep the wiring in good condition.

Exactly, as with my SIL, who sincerely believed, and still may because I'm not sure how much influence I have in that department, that her prayers were answered...not so much because He is a prayer answering God, but "because I have power in the prayer room."

....power on her head... because of the angels... right??

She is not UPCI and has never heard of RR, but she mentioned evangelists coming to her church saying that the women had power in the prayer room because they had not cut their hair.

When I told her that, first of all, IMO evangelists should not be coming to any church and preaching this stuff, and secondly, I have a very close friend who prays for me on a regular basis and has prayed for specific needs, the prayers have been answered, AND she has cut hair, SIL was shocked!!

I have to keep saying this for those who just pop in a read a single post or two and not the whole thread...I am not cutting my hair, but I see no need in adding extra 'out there' notions that don't have an ounce of biblical accuracy connected to them.
