OK to cut glorious hair for medical treatment??
In another thread I said...
I've had friends with cancer who were seriously more disturbed by the fact that chemo was going to cause hair loss than they were about the fact that it was going to make them infertile, damage their organs, or shorten their lives. And I know at least one woman who opted for a less effective chemotherapeutic agent because it did not cause baldness.
And votes are anonymous so you don't have to worry about anybody being mean to you.  Of course you could elaborate and get in all kinds of controversy if you like that kind of thing.

Re: OK to cut glorious hair for medical treatment?
Ya know, my Hawaiian shirts are a "glory to me!" yet I would gladly give them up if it meant saving my life. I've certainly never waved one over an offering plate in order to bless it.

More faith in condemnation of cut hair then healing??

Re: OK to cut glorious hair for medical treatment?
If God gave doctors the wisdom to do brain surgery on a patient who would need their head shaved in order for that wisdom to be used, maybe the hair isn't as important to God as we may have once thought.

Re: OK to cut glorious hair for medical treatment?
I do not believe the Bible teaches against the cutting of hair on a woman. There is nothing in the OT to support this, there are no laws against it. The only thing is the Nazarite vow which was for a man or a woman. The only people in the Bible that had "uncut" hair were men (Sampson, Samuel).
This is the problem with our movement, we have taken one scripture and misused it for our benefit. We have done the scriptures injustice for taking this one scripture and abusing it. Not only that, we twist the Greek word to fit our model. Paul left it at "let the hair grow long" for a reason.
That being said, it is neither right nor wrong to cut hair on a woman. I have heard the question from people, "how do you define what long is?" Fortunately, I do not have to, Paul took care of that when he wrote the Greek word for long hair which means tresses of hair (or what we would call a ponytail today). Ok sorry for the soapbox stance.
God bless

Re: OK to cut glorious hair for medical treatment?
I am sorry, meant seems it's having more faith in condemnation about hair being cut/loss then having having faith in God is our healer. Going to doctor for chemo and such but worried about hair loss and being condemned over it? But no condemnation about going to doctor?

Not cutting Hair back then was more of a cultural thing, doesn't apply for today..? Right?
