Uncut Hair

Is it wrong for a lady to cut her hair?

Long hair is scriptural. Not "uncut".

Oh, so if you only read English it's long, but if you read Spanish, or Greek it is growing hair?

Gotcha.

Whatever.

I'm not going to answer on this one, but I got a video of the Greek scholar Marvin D. Treece to share. He will explain it. If you haven't listened to him, this is a good source He had translations of Acts, Corinthians, Hebrews, and Revelations. Called "The Literal Word".

I agree with much of what you have to say brother. Annnnd, I am not all fired up about this subject so I didn't vote.

But if your wife (or my wife or daughters) cuts their hair, one thing is for sure. It will not be as long. Right?

I personally prefer my wife and daughters to have uncut hair (and they do).

Long hair for women is good and its scriptural. I have not had a scripture ever presented to me that teaches women cant trim their hair.

The covering prescribed in the Bible for a woman is something other than her hair-- else all men with hair on their head would dishonor God every time they prayed.

In amending my bye, I think what is interesting about this discussion is that early continuationists most definitely did have standards about hair length. One of the complaints against AS McPherson was her bobbing her hair after her infamous adultery with a former employee Ken Orminston. Her big 300-strong quire ultimately resigned ab ovo for what they saw in McPherson as capitulation to worldilness and specifically unbiblical per Dr DW Cloud's The Pentecostal & Charismatic Movements: The History & The Error, page 76 of the 2014 edition. I cannot speak to what period Oneness Pentecostals believed. Nonetheless, short hair on a woman was seen shameful per Saul's legislation a man ought not to have long hair. I see no reason a woman sins by cutting her hair if her hair still maintains the modesty required of a Christian. I see short-haired strumpets almost dialy, some even shaved nearly bald, in this university city, finding it a revolting practice in this rakehelly last season. What was once rejected is highly fashionable (Isa. 1, 5; Luke 16.16-20). It is totally unattractive.

Some early pioneer standards were rather nomist, such as abstaining from pork mandated by JA Dowie and AJ Tomlinson, which in the latter case wws thought to be the dining of the unsaved.

I believe you’re right about this. I’ve had them presented plenty. I just don’t believe they were in the proper context.

The forsaking of a covering is a markedly late invention by the church world at large. Feminism has successfully liberated women from scriptural modesty into beastly communism, down to the nadir of existence where she is only worth her parts. I miss the days to a degree in my boyhood where a woman wearing yoga pants would be dismissed from public for her lewd clothes. Now, even children wear it. We would have been suspended for that two decades or less ago.
