Short grandma hair is a SIN!!!

Over the years I have noticed that many of my fellow grandma’s have cropped off their hair for more easy to maintain short hair styles. But every time I see it it really ruffles my feathers. When we grew up we were told that women were to have long hair. Now these aged hussies have decided that tradition is no longer worth having. I maintain that this is not only an insult to tradition, teaching younger women that it it ok to look like men, but is also a sin.
The apostle Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 11:3–15:
But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife1 is her husband, and the head of Christ is God. 4 Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head, 5 but every wife2 who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, since it is the same as if her head were shaven. 6 For if a wife will not cover her head, then she should cut her hair short. But since it is disgraceful for a wife to cut off her hair or shave her head, let her cover her head. 7 For a man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God, but woman is the glory of man. 8 For man was not made from woman, but woman from man. 9 Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man. 10 That is why a wife ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.3 11 Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man nor man of woman; 12 for as woman was made from man, so man is now born of woman. And all things are from God. 13 Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a wife to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14 Does not nature itself teach you that if a man wears long hair it is a disgrace for him, 15 but if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For her hair is given to her for a covering.
There we have it, in plain text from the mouth of God to the hand of Paul!
While hair length is not the main point of this passage of scripture, we glean the following applications from it. 1) We should adhere to the culturally accepted indicators of gender. Men should look like men, and women should look like women. God is not interested in, nor does He accept, “unisex.” 2) We should not rebel against the culture just for the sake of rebelling, in the name of some sort of Christian “liberty.” It does matter how we present ourselves. 3) Women are to voluntarily place themselves under the authority of men in the church. 4) We should not reverse the God-ordained roles of men and women.
To me the sight of a woman’s ears, especially aged women who know better is a horrible insult to God. I hope you agree.

Really though, you shouldn’t even be able to see granny-hair. It should be under a veil. My own granny never took her veil off, lest she anger the Lord with geriatric hubris!

I think for some very old women who lived in the aftermath of the roaring 20′s, the flapper bob taught them that short hair is fashionable. So not only is it more functional, but they were corrupted in their youth to think it is modern.
It is time for women to get back to their proper hair lengths, and men, a mullet is a disgrace to the Lord!

Yet you all are sinning Susan, the 7 deadly sins are some of the worst apparently but you all the ‘contributors’ that is.
Greed- You people claimed in a different post that giving to certain people in the south was wrong and prayers was all they need to survive. (Finding a reason to save every penny you can?)
Pride- you are all so prideful with your religion and your personal belief that you are always right. (Pride is the belief that you are better or should be better then others)
Wrath- You yell to throw stones at people and hate everyone different wrath is a form of hate and you people are full of it
So now that you guys are breaking 3 of the greatest sins according to your doctrine so good job fools

Well for some women like myself, due to menopausal hair loss and general thinning due to age, it is impossible to grow long hair! I have no choice but to crop it short and neat in order to even look like I have hair covering my scalp – this has been the case since I was 45, and while I prayed and prayed to the Lord to restore my hair, this has not happened, therefore short hair is the only way I can look normal, and the way it is cut is very feminine and wispy, it in no way looks like a man’s cut, so I say have long hair if you can, those of us who can’t, should keep the style feminine and short is ok. I dont think the Lord loves me any less for having short hair, my life is blessed beyond belief, I have been healed of serious illnesses and , well, hair length doesn’t matter if you can’t grow it.

I’d like to point out that it’s not a sin. Paul is talking about Jewish women IN SYNAGOG. Also, it’s hard for an older woman to take care of long hair, especially as she gets up in age to her 80s and 90s. Practicality must be taken into consideration.
Before you completely tear this post to shreds, I’m a Christian just the same. It’s just like judicial activism in the Supreme Court; it’s the application of the traditional texts to today. It doesn’t make them any less right, just things that exist today didn’t exist back then. So the liberty of translating it is taken.
(( PS – judicial activism means that a judge interoperates the Constitution for today’s situation, rather than a literal, word-for-word translation. Otherwise, if this wasn’t taken, the federal government wouldn’t be able to appoint people to positions, have a federal bank, etc. I’m passing my Advance Placement college-level US Government and Politics class with an A (94%), before you judge.))

94%? You are proud of that? That’s six percent pure failure!
What if only 94% of planes landed safe?
What if your house was only 94% covered?
What if you were only paid 94% of your salary by your employer?
We deserve better than you.
And the constitution is to be taken literally, interpreting intentions is a slippery slope. If you don’t like what it says, don’t re-interpret it, change it. The constitution was built to be amended.
And my grandmother and mother had short hair later in life. They were not of sin.

Dear Sir,
Yes, I am proud of that. Thank you for asking. I’m in high school, taking an upper-college level course. I’m sorry you don’t appreciate the level of rigor I’m currently succeeding in.
As for the Constitution, no, it’s not built to be changed. The amendment process was constructed to be so long and tedious that it’s nearly impossible to get an amendment added or repealed. It’s amazing we have 27 of them.
I never said older women with short hair were “of sin”; in fact, quite the opposite. They’re no more prone to sin than any other person. I’d go so far as to say even less so.
However, all of this is a matter of opinion, except the Constitution facts. I’ll keep in mind you don’t appreciate other opinions in the future.

I’d like to point out I’m more mature than my 21 year old brother. Plus, kids in high school get on Facebook, Twitter, and other various places on the internet, as well as online virtual reality games (like World of Warcraft).
I’ll be praying for your children, assuming you have some, for when they get into college, and find out college kids like to have sex, get drunk, get high, sleep and maybe do some homework in that mix. I’ll also be praying they can forgive themselves when they get a B on a test. It’s still a good grade. It’s still quite above average.
The point of telling you my grade in a college class is to show you I actually know what I’m talking about. I’m not a middle schooler (or failing the class) with no knowledge of what I’m saying.

“Paul is talking about Jewish women IN SYNAGOG. ”
He was talking to believers after the death of christ , in a christian church, making them christians. Also I do not like your implication that Jews are less than human. That kind of thought process led to millions of jews being brutally murdered and tortured at the hands of the Nazi’s. Shame…

Let me tell you Susan B. Xenu, the Bible was written by MAN therefore it is IMPERFECT therefore you are IMPERFECT and therefore you are committing a SIN by ranting on every GOD DAMNED thing you can get your “christian” hands on. Does the Bible not state for you to love thy neighbor? Damn woman, God forbid she have short hair and be the most christian woman on Earth! My grandmother has short hair, dyed blonde! She is the most amazing woman in my life! She survived cancer, she practically raised me and she taught me to love others, no matter how different! People like you make me absolutely sick…God IS ashamed of you, acting like your all high and mighty christian over us. You are the snake whispering gossip and spreading sin. There will always be sex, drugs, and death. BUILD A BRIDGE. GET OVER IT.

Taylor, I sense a lot of anger in you. I also sense a lot of homosexual confusion in you as well. But you should not. Jesus Loves YOU!
And not in a gay way of course.
The bible teaches us that it was indeed written by man, but that the hand was guided by god himself. You see GOD told the men what to write, and he did.
It it written in the bible that gos shall strike down and smite any one who is not true or misrepresents the bible. So as christians we take this VERY seriously.
I am sure that your grand mother is a nice woman, in fact I bet she and I could be friends. But if she want to go to heaven she has to grow her hair longer as she is sinning. Please urge her to do this.
People who are not members of this site like to come here and fuss at us for judging. But if you lok back at your post you will se that it is YOU who are JUDGING us!

For a moment I thought the writer was the grandma in the first picture. Not only that, hair grows at different lengths at different times, so you can always control the length of your hair. Plus, how is hair a sin? Didn’t Jesus have long hair? Maybe that’s why he was crucified, because of his long hair.
