My hair was cut in the second pic- you can SEE that, it's obvious.

That's not a great idea. Sort of proves the cons' points.

Porn star? Perhaps your thinking of Jenna Jamison?

Actually, my point is even further made because I am sure that the "bare shoulders" DO equate to a woman being a porn star in many cons minds.

Just an observation...she's absolutely stunningly beautiful. But her heart could be as black as coal.

I'm glad I serve a righteous Judge.

You are right.

I believe the inside has to be right also. One can be a whitewashed sepulcher.

I hav had experineces with those who looked the part, then lied on me and did al kinds of hateful things. So I know you are right about that.

The inside and the outside must be right.'

The pic is very small and no I couldn't see it.

Yea, I wasn't aware of Jenny being in porn either, but what do I know. Well, she was a playmate, so....

So, you've jumped to a pretty major conclusion here.....does the Greek word "Komao" say anything at all about being uncut?

Thats great! I had my hair anointed with oil several times over the years. One visiting minister even POURED the whole bottle over my head *FROWN*
My daughter carried a prayer cloth with her till it was in tatters (YES, the same daughter that sent me the cloth in the mail, folks) God didn't see fit to grow our hair. Wanta know why? Because He used this situation to MINISTER to ME about shallow christianity and the dangers that lie therein.

There's a bigger picture here, folks.

to let the hair grow, have long hair If one is cutting it they are not letting it grow. Go ahead and try to explain it away. Any woman that cuts her hair is sinning.

No, looking the part on the outside doesn't mean you are right on the inside. I think we should strive for both, though. Outward and inward.

Matthew 23:25-26

"Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also."

Luke 11:39, 42

"And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness. ...But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone."

By focusing on the "weightier" matters of the law (Matthew 23:23), Jesus never intended for us to leave the other matters behind. He intended for us to have both. Yes, focus on "judgment, mercy and faith", but not to the neglect of all the other things they were doing; they were working on all the outward works that everyone could see and neglecting the inward. That doesn't mean the outward things were wrong or that Jesus was asking them to stop doing those things.

I have no problem with the assertion that the inside should match up with the outside. If a woman is modest, but has a proud spirit, then she has missed the point of modesty and godliness altogether. That possibility, however, doesn't discredit the idea of modesty in appearance and behavior.
