Hair
Ok, so I understand that the scripture in Corinthians says women aren’t supposed to cut their hair… God won’t strike me down from heaven if I do, right? So why is it so important? I hate my long hair! It is hard to take care of and never looks nice anyway. I spend lots of money on different products to make it nice and none of them work! My hair actually breaks off a lot because of putting it up all the time, too.Besides, Paul was the one who came up with the law not Jesus… So why do we follow it?

woman’s hairIn reply to your question about your hair…Yes, Paul physically wrote it, but, 2 Timothy 3:16 says,”All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. This means that God inspired EVERY word. About the hair… No, God will not strike you down because you cut your hair. However, God’s word says that our hair is a symbol of power, because of the angels. It is also a glory for a woman to have long hair and is given as a covering when she prays. (1 Corinthians 11:10-15) Just think about it…God honors the fact that we have been obedient and have let our hair grow, and gives us power, because of the angels, when we pray. I believe that this gives us power over the enemies of the darkness of this world (angels) (For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:12) So, when you get on your knees,or however you pray, you are given a power over satan and his dominions. How awesome is that? Just by being obedient and letting your hair grow. God also says that His thoughts are not our thoughts, neither are His ways our ways. (Isaiah 55:8) We cannot understand why God does the things that He does, but there is significant value in being obedient to His word. If you continue to let your hair grow (uncut, split ends and all) God’s word says that you will have POWER when you pray. I know that for me, this is reason enough.

“The Law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the Testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the Commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. The Fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the Judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them is Thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is Great Reward.” Psalm 19:7-11 The Creation and Covenants of God.
“Blessed are they that keep His Testimonies, and that seek Him with the whole heart. They also do no iniquity: they walk in His ways. Thou hast commanded us to keep Thy Precepts diligently. O’ that my ways were directed to keep Thy Statutes. Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy Commandments. I will praise Thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned Thy Righteous Judgments.” Psalm 119:2-7
Uncut hair is a heart issue, and a faith issue. It is about “submission” to God through His holy word. It is also about being under the Authority of God.
I do not cut my hair because I trust that it is important to God. I believe the Holy Scriptures, so I obey the Holy Scriptures.
