Bible Question (short): Follow up on 1 Cor. chp 11 vs 1-16 |
Question (full): I agree with you JCrichton, and I am referring to verses 1 thru 16 of 1 Cor. I realize that Paul is not trying to create a new law (man must have short hair and women must have long hair), but I also can't help but conclude that he is showing us an area that we should be mindful of. Isn't he saying that men should look like men, and women should look like women? We can do this by maintaining the common standard (both to the apostles and chuches at the time, and even to this day to some extent in our pluralistic society)of men having short hair and women having long. Because verse 16 makes it clear that it is not just a standard or common practice of the corinthian church. Isn't the intent of 1 Cor. chp 11 v 1-16 to teach us to be proper men and women by looking like whatever gender we are? Does it not matter at all to God if a man has long hair, or a women has short hair? |
