dident quite understand that can you explain this The dividing line is between hair covering the head (women) or not covering the head (men).The hair is the only physical evidence that God demands to make difference between man and woman.
Men are not to grow their hair long like a woman, and women are not get men's haircuts.

We can preach that women uncovering their heads by cutting their hair to short is dishonoring God, who gave them hair for a covering.dident quite understand that can you explain this The dividing line is between hair covering the head (women) or not covering the head (men).
Sometimes I cover my hair when I pray. Some say the hair was given as a covering. But my hair was short so I would get serious in prayer and put a covering over it.thoughts scripture ? can you say me it

Well, I'm sure she can pray if she loves the Lord....
Actually the context of 1 Corinthians 11 may be in public; although some women might like to apply the passage to private prayer as well.
@Wynona: Well, it's good to have a sensitive conscience Godward.Judging by the Scripture, the head covering is not for our sake but for the sake of the angels.
So when I cover my head, it's really not about hair length alone but angelic order.
I think it's good if a woman want to honor God in this way.

But do you really think when your hair was shorter (whether as in the picture or not) your prayers were hindered because it was shorter?
@Wynona My wife did The Chop years ago; we do a lot of prayer together, anyway...I don't remember thinking my prayers were hindered. I just would cover my head with a scarf during prayer and still do. I just knew I wanted my hair longer because I think it looks better that way. I also don't want to look like Im a woman trying to be masculine, which I think is not from God.
Not trying to say short hair automatically means that person is trying to be masculine. I just have a personal conviction for longer hair.@Wynona My wife did The Chop years ago; we do a lot of prayer together, anyway...

You are expressing a preference... NOT a conviction. Conviction is with regards to sin and the heart.Not trying to say short hair automatically means that person is trying to be masculine. I just have a personal conviction for longer hair.
I've heard the argument that Paul was referring to the male temple prostitutes who had their hair done up all puffy and feminine-like.
Does God contradict himself? What about Nazarites? Look to nature? Pride male lions? What about becoming all things to all people? I've concluded that hair is a physical external that neither makes one clean nor unclean. Then there's the matter of what constitutes long hair. I think it's mainly speaking of a cultural thing.
As far as dishonoring God goes, I think having an unloving, judgmental attitude towards someone instead of loving them where they're at is about as dishonoring as one can get. Seems to border on spiritual pride. But I don't know everything.
I like long hair on a woman, and to tell you the truth, I find the act of a woman displaying her submission to her husband by wearing a head covering an attractive thing. Just as long as it's not one of those ridiculous-looking doily things. Lol
