Biblical Support for Buns & Curls

[rgcraig]

So no perfume or girdles either?

Well, The Message puts it out there boldly:

24Instead of wearing seductive scents,
these women are going to smell like rotting cabbages;
Instead of modeling flowing gowns,
they'll be sporting rags;
Instead of their stylish hairdos,
scruffy heads;
Instead of beauty marks,
scabs and scars.

DB used this very scripture to support that God truly is concerned with ladies hair styles. By the same token, seems you ladies better get rid of that perfume and deodorant and go talk to the product manager at your local grocery for the week old cabbages???

Same principle as the "putting on of apparel", just go nekid and you won't have to worry about...."I speak as a fool"....never mind!!

I know...that's why I looked it up. But by his logic, that means you SHOULD wear perfume and deodorant--not get rid of it.

I do agree that the scripture illustrates that "baldness" on a woman is a shame to her. That's in agreement with I Corinthians 11, and other scriptures. I just can't find ANYwhere in the Bible where long or "well-set" hair on a woman = uncut.

I thought this was interesting because many people criticize those with long hair for putting it up. This definition seems to imply that arrangement of the well set hair can be up on the head just as well as down.

My sister and now my sister in law have lost their hair due to chemo, while they sure would rather have their hair, their "baldness" was and is not a shame to them. But I do agree that a lady looks much better and is much more lady like with hair of some length. How long should be left to the individual and their relationship with the Lord, and the should not be treated with suspicion, or as a second class Christian. Jesus did not do that, Jesus did not denigrate the local customs, but neither did he mistreat those in the culture.

I think that the 'shame' that is indicated is not so much a "shame, shame on you!!" kind of shame.... more of a 'I'm so embarrassed' kind of shame.

Except in situations where the head is shaved as a result of infidelity, etc. And even that is done to deliberately embarrass them.

Most people who comment on the women 'wearing their hair up' are doing so because it seems to be contradictory to the belief that the hair is a 'covering'. If it's pinned up, it's not really covering anything. Definitely covering no more than a man's hair does.

Reading that scripture in context it seems to me that God isn't pleased at all with the haughtiness of the dress and coffered hair ....so, how can that scripture be used to support wearing your hair up?

Well, I do understand that, but I don't have a beauty mark, so does that mean I should paint one on?
