Nothing could be further fromt the truth.  There is no division being caused
by your comments.  Once again, we both seek the truth!  What is the truth in
this matter??  

Paradigms will bring us to a false conclusion.  Gods word opens our
understanding.  Your ascertions that the Bilblical admonition of how men and
women should wear thier hair was a matter of long and short was incorrect.
I am just asking, not for the sake of an argument but for your own perusal
of the subject, does 1Cor 11:5-6 have no connection between being covered
and the shearing or shaving of the hair?  I think there is.  IMHO These
scriptures make plain the truth of the matter.....It is a shame for a woman
to be shorn or shaven.  By that biblical ascertion, I believe to *shear* cut
with a doubled edged shearing tool or to *shave* a single edged tool is a
shameful thing for a woman to do.  I realize this might not be your opinion,
but it is the best possible rendering of the scripture......IMHO.
