Why don't we enforce the biblical prescriptives on hair length for men and women?

[St. SteVen]

Not me, man. Aside from the fact that I like my wife's affections, all I have to do is look at my college yearbook pictures and see that scruffy stuff on my face, and say... nah.

Doesn't work for everyone.

I like the salt and pepper thing.

The salt is definitely winning. - LOL

1) If a couple showed up at church, the male with shoulder-length hair and
the woman with a buzz-cut, how would you feel about them?

I would feel like im in Portland Oregon

2) If someone showed up at church with a gay pride slogan on their shirt,
how would you feel about them?

I would again feel like I'm in Portland Oregon

Okay...
What does it feel like to be in Portland Oregon when you are from the Midwest?

A more straight-forward question would be whether you would have a bias toward them?
Would you welcome them, or wish they would leave?

5 But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is the same as having her head shaved.

In the islands it was considered a 'disgrace' to have long hair, so they basically cut the hair down to the 'bone'.
Here, it isnt, so I can only venture it was a cultural thing.

Honestly, I feel like this answer will vary based on age.

1. For my age group, we don't care. Doesn't the Bible say "for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart."

It also used to be a overwhelming disgrace for a woman to wear a man's hat. I'm not saying we're right on every level. There's a lot we are not.

Why would I feel anything based on how they look or dress?

They are in church, good enough for me!

Clothes around here though often come either from Walmart or the second hand store... So there's never judgement, but men generally try and wear their good jeans and good shirts (but it's hillbilly good so nothing fancy) and women will either wear their good jeans, good slacks, or a dress if they have one.

Around here it just is what it is. People go to church in the best of whatever they have... and that can vary.

You couldn't just grow your hair out and claim you were a Nazarite.

The words were not recorded in the eternal word of God, as actually being about hair.

Example: When John the Baptist said, "Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!" the disciples did not all leave, saying, "He didn't say 'Jesus'--so we're outta here." Because they understood, that John used the word "Lamb" in parable.

1 Corinthians 11:3-15 is a parable--it's not about hair. The whole Bible is parables. It's all parables.

“To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, all things come in parables, 12so that ‘Seeing they may see and not perceive, And hearing they may hear and not understand; Lest they should turn, And their sins be forgiven them.’ ”​

​

13And He said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables? Mark 3:11-13​

If the Bible is written in plain language (as many mistakenly interpret by common definition and understanding), how then is the mystery made known to those who are His?

"The words that I speak to you are spirit..." John 6:63​

​

In 1 Corinthians 11:2-12 you will notice the initial word is not regarding hair but is rather about Christ being the Head of the church. Then begins the parable using hair as a rational and parable regarding the order of headship. It is regarding this order (not actually regarding hair at all), that Paul then explains, that if a woman has no covering, it is as though the church (Bride/women) has no Christ, and if a man (Christ) is covered (as with long hair) it is as if Christ is covered and not revealed (of which there is more to be said--but this is enough):

Now I praise you, brethren, that you remember me in all things and keep the traditions just as I delivered them to you. 3But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God. 4Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head. 5But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for that is one and the same as if her head were shaved. 6For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered. 7For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. 8For man is not from woman, but woman from man. 9Nor was man created for the woman, but woman for the man. 10For this reason the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels. 11Nevertheless, neither is man independent of woman, nor woman independent of man, in the Lord. 12For as woman came from man, even so man also comes through woman; but all things are from God.​

I'm one of the few on here who was a practicing Mennonite- with a covering. I quit the covering and garb about a couple of years ago.

I believe the covering is for wearing in church (keep in mind the end of this chapter says the church has "no other such practice'- this is a practice of the church, this is what they do) to keep men from being distracted from a woman's beautiful hair during worship, which would bring shame her husband. (See vs 5. The husband being her head. Not her physical head.)

But outside of the church, I do not wear one. Part of that reason is the verse uses the requirement in the church. Now if we were outside of the church, and I was praying with other men, still likely necessary. Basic applicable common sense if you understand the purpose.

I work in public and have to maintain professionalism so I did cut my hair to chin length. I came to decide this was okay, because it is still feminine and growing six feet of hair is not and has not ever been practical and Biblical times, more than likely definitely not safe or hygienic.

So I think, obviously cutting is okay. Did God ask us to trip over our hair? I don't remember that part.

Mennonite men keep their hair short. Does that mean a man who disagrees and grows his hair long is loved less by God? No. I don't believe so.
