Where in "the scripture" does anyone forbid women from cutting their hair?
The only mention of it that I can find concerns whether or not a woman should
be covered or not...if she cuts her split ends or bangs, she is still
covered. There is no scripture that says a woman is not to interfere with the
growth of her hair.
In fact, the only scripture in Corinthians was dealing with CUSTOM...not
commandment! If there were such a commandment in the WORD, then I would have
no problem with it.

Receiving the Holy Ghost and baptism in Jesus' name is mentioned in the
scripture, and is a COMMANDMENT! There is no question about such things.
Please give me scripture about the hair cutting...
