I am now 55. If you go back to the original manuscripts (the person I study with has a copy and can read it) the hair issue becomes obsolete. It is not supposed to read hair. It is the veil of Christ over our heads to protect us from the (fallen) angels. It has nothing to do with hair. The translators translated this wrong years and years ago and women have had to take the brunt of it for control purposes. It is a shame. I just was told about this site and plan on reading it all and commenting in the future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8088717.post-47093261413527532152004-10-13T22:43:00.000-07:002004-10-13T22:43:00.000-07:00Concerning the bun's.

We are taught that "But if a woman have long hair it is a glory to her, for her hair is given her for a covering" ( 1 Cor 11:15 ). And as was mentioned the bun is a convenient way to wear long hair. These teachings are not rules that one must follow. We try to be obedient to what we have been taught for the love of Christ and for the pain and suffering he has done for for my sins. If one has the true and right kind of love in one's heart, they wouldn't want to do anything that would make our Savior suffer any more than he has when he suffered on the cross.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8088717.post-24668701509068539032004-10-15T08:33:00.000-07:002004-10-15T08:33:00.000-07:00To anonymous above:Laestadian girls now can wear t...To anonymous above:<br>Laestadian girls now can wear their hair down to church, but when I was growing up girls went from pigtails to ponytail to bun and that was it. So things can change. Why has that changed? Are the girls now making Christ suffer on the cross more than we did or did we make Him suffer more than they are today? Do you see how the traditions of men don't make sense? God's Word ALWAYS makes sense. I've already mentioned that it is not hair at all that 1 Cor 11:15 is about. The original hebrew was not hair, but veil. Women are supposed to have the veil (Christ and His Word) of protection from the (fallen) angels (talked about in Genesis 6). Obviously, you have discounted a truth by your own choice and choose to believe man over God. That is an untruth that you believe and you are sacrificing for Christ when HE did ALL the sacrificing. (And don't tell me ALL Laestadian woman love long hair and looking old fashion - I have been there done that and talked to too many who are sacrificing what they REALLY want for an unsound teaching of man).It is an INSULT to Christ because you are saying you still have to DO things to be accepted by Him and to be saved besides believing that He died for you. John 3:16 says '..whomever (I don't see here where it says only Laestadians) WHOMEVER believes in HIM (Christ who is the Word)should not perish, but have eternal life'. Since Christ is the living WORD shouldn't ALL read it? How long is long in hair terms anyway? Down to my middle back? Just below my shoulders? What about an inch longer than my shoulders? What about 3 inches longer than my middle back? Do you see the ridiculousness of it all? I am not saying this to be contrary. I am just trying to make a point.Bevhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13532579229890940680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8088717.post-22903649365867435112004-11-24T18:47:00.000-08:002004-11-24T18:47:00.000-08:00How can it be anything but hair that is referenced...How can it be anything but hair that is referenced in 1 Cor 11;15.
