For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.” -1 Corinthians 11:10
For years, some Christians, predominantly conservative Baptists, Methodists and Pentecostals, have asserted that the Bible teaches that a woman should not cut her hair. Most born-again Christians believe to the contrary. This debate is based on an entire passage in 1 Corinthians 11. There are compelling and convincing interpretations on both sides of this issue.
In recent years,however, a dangerous heretical doctrine has emerged claiming that an added reason why a woman’s hair should not be cut is because it gives her power with angels citing this one verse. Proponents teach that a supernatural power and authority is bestowed by her obedience in not cutting her hair. Some claim this directly results in angelic protection, miracles,healings, special revelation, God’s favor and blessing in their loves … and even can affect one’s salvation. Sadly, occult writings are offered up as substantiation for this paradigm.
This blog is an effort to uncover the untruths of this dangerous heretical doctrine that replaces Jesus and the power of God’s sovereign Spirit with hair and legalism. We seek only to warn the Body of Christ of this teaching and not to undermine God’s call on the lives of those who teach or believe this doctrine. Believers on both sides of the hair issue are standing against this extrabiblical heresy.
