Long Hair on Women - Response to Ed White

Earlier today, Ed White wrote a note on the 3ABN forum about how he liked women with long hair (Bible reasons) and thought Mrs. Gray could not be on that station because they apparently had a bias against women with long hair.
Ed's well-reasoned statements were deleted, so Mrs. Gray has moved her answer here for Ed's edification.
Dear person,
Mrs. Gray does not wish to let the scissors touch her tresses. As you know, despite Mrs. Gray's requests, she was not given opportunity to provide the keynote address for the General Conference Session, and if she could not speak at that event, likely she would not be welcomed to speak on 3ABN.
To work at 3ABN, Mrs. Gray would also need to acquire a library of "Adventist" scarves such as the women on 3ABN frequently wear along with a pair of glasses. She would also have apply makeup to tone down her naturally radiant skin so as not to appear to be wearing any.
It is interesting that Mrs. Gray is accused now of working for 3ABN when she previously wrote a long dissertation on how bad Linda Shelton had been treated, etc. After it went on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, Mrs. Gray decided to ask the talkers to adopt a more respectful approach and was thus accused of being everything from a 3ABN shill to an employee. Mrs. Gray supposes that people think that she sounds too smart to just be another person on the forum. People think she's smart, but Mrs. Gray isn't smart. People just think that and have made her some kind of a "special case." If Mrs. Gray, often thought of as a "fictional character" is considered to be too informed, etc., then in a relative analysis, this does not bode too highly for some others.
This could not be further from the truth, since Mrs. Gray has never watched a complete program on 3ABN and only flips through that station on her way to the next SpongeBob SquarePants episode. Mrs. Gray got very uncomfortable with the tone the conversations were taking - she has no personal stake in the outcome whatsoever .
Hopefully this new level of moderation will help focus the subject on what needs to be addressed and will cut out some of the "gossip" about all the details of their private lives to which only their families and God are justifiably privy.
Again, with regard to hair length, Mrs. Gray has no particular burden in either direction. Her hair is quite long and she wraps it up in a ball. (It gives her a very severe appearance while preserving the Biblical mandate.)
Perhaps you could investigate whether or not there is a conspiracy to remove Linda from 3ABN because her strong witness through her lengthy hair was a silent rebuke to the more worldly women. But just one caveat as you do your research, Mrs. Gray once saw a bald woman at church and just as she was about to rebuke the woman, she learned that the woman had just gone through chemotherapy and her hair had fallen out as a result. A few weeks later the woman passed away, and Mrs. Gray was forever thankful that she had not said anything to the woman about this. The lesson is that if you are going to confront a woman about her short hair, you should first find out whether or not she has cancer.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Gray

Mrs. Gray words. “Ed's well-reasoned statements were deleted, so Mrs. Gray has moved her answer here for Ed's edification.”
======================
I haven't checked lately but the last time I looked in my edification folder that department was in perfect health, not needing a jump start, but thanks for your concern. But it did remind me of a letter supposedly from St. Peter in heaven to the king of Spain, even calling this King by his given name asking him to help Rome fight a battle against the Muslims which had all of Rome’s strongholds in Europe conquered, and Rome’s armies was backed into Italy. This letter on the bests of paper and in letters of gold was a forgery of course with St. Peters signature. The king was honored, saying “Why I didn’t even know that St. Peter knew my name, of course I will send my armies immediately to help.” I also was honored [as this king was] to have Mrs. Gray [with all her pressing duties] come to my corner of the ring and administer a healing balm.

I have been toying with the idea of shaving my head to raise money for children with cancer...and wearing selections from my Muslim neighbor's headscarf collection until the hair grows back.
Then, if someone confronts me in church and accuses me of converting to Islam, I can quote 1 Corinthians 11:5,6.

Gail you ask how long? Well this is not set in stone like most of my post on doctrine where one can be sure, so take it or leave it.
Womens hair should be much longer than mine, and it should be much, much longer than the worlds richest caveman.

ROTFLOL...Now that would be something to behold. All the menfolk in church in skirts  Beryl, your post just made my day! Thank you! What a mental image I will have tonight at prayer meeting! As for the short hair long hair debate. I had long hair until this past October. I grow my hair to donate to Locks of Love. They make wigs for juvenile cancer patients. At present I AM growing my hair back, and in about 4 years, hope to have enough to whack off again and donate. If anyone is interested, check out: Locks of Love I think they need at least 10" of donated hair (more is welcome!) Blessings

Im so glad I am a man. And being a man I dont have to stress about jewelry or hairlength or make-up or dye or cocktail dresses at church. And I dont wear and an adornment of fabric around my neck. Hopefully Ed White will welcome me in the church foyer! I look biblical in appearance...uh except for my pink mink fedora. 8:O)

=======================================
I am always glad to meet/greet visitors of both genders in the church foyer, if it's been raining I will show them where to store their raincoat & head coverings to be returned to them on their departure. If they are visiting for the first time and have come expecting to see a skit concerning the actual occurrence of the two "men" that Lot invited to his home because of the wickedness of his home town. Surprise of all surprises Lot found out they were not men at all, but of heavenly origin that had a few jobs to preform. First job was to blind and entire crowd that kept pounding on Lot's door... Well, sorry this church is not doing that skit this week due to the pastor's accident. You see he failed to bring a flashlight in leading that trek up the mountain for sunrise services, instead the head elder will preach on Romans 1:22-32

I adore Romans almost as much as Psalms. Romans 2 should never be left out when sharing Romans 1.
I went to your websight and enjoyed your Subject matter.
you walk with Jesus slightly different from the norm. As do I.
God bless you. I have my eye on you. I look forward to more dialogue.

And regarding Lots visit. I found it interesting that you should mention that story(i hate that word in descibing actual events).
I read Genesis over and over again thru the years. Psalms and Mark and Luke are frequented also.
I am so moved by Abrahams and Jacob and Joseph stories. I can go on all day what God has revealed to me in their lives.
But let me touch a moment on Abraham flagging down three strangers. We truly serve a great compassionate God who came down to share and test Abraham. Abraham truly new what a God he serves to press the issue of 'how many rightouse'. To see God as not only Terrible Rightouse Majesty as well as Merciful and Gracious makes Abraham truly as a man of faith and obediance. I cant convey with my paltry words waht comes into my heart when i hear Abrahams and Lots story. What a God we serve.
All the people in the lost five cities never trusted and obeyed their rightouse Creator. That is a sobering lesson for all of us here.
God bless you for sharing.

Not sure of everything that’s on my website at present, but Brother I sure hope I got across the message of Matthew 5:18 "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God". To me that means one must be clean/pure in this life if we expect a life above, even more so than Ivory soap which claims is over 99% pure, but speaking of hair, I have found in women that I have known, the shorter their hair, the shorter their fuse in flying off the handle. And of course the bible teaches that "long hair on a man is a disgrace". Don’t you in your travels find it an amazing fact that grown men today still do not mind in being disgraceful?
Now Mrs. Grey’s hair is shoulder length, so there is an indication that her chain could be jerked/light the fuse and still one would have time to shower & shave before the lava would start flowing.

But didn't Jesus and Moses have long hair? It was the Romans that were known for their short haircuts...

Gail, Hollywood may have pictured Jesus & Moses having long hair but I doubt that Jesus or Moses would have violated a principle in the bible. Samson had long hair but this was the exception to the rule as his parents was instructed from a heavenly being. Long haired men should learn a lesson from one of David sons...cut your hair, especially when on horseback and riding near trees with low branches. I read of a man with long flowing hair that had the back wheels of his car jacked up and he crawled under to check a vibration and his hair got caught up in the turning drive shaft and it jerked his scalp off. I could think of many reasons why no, but whats wrong in doing it just as God said it? Clench fists against heavenly instruction will not get anyone one inch off this planet.

Dearest Edward,
I wonder if there is a scientific reason for your observation that "I have found in women that I have known, the shorter their hair, the shorter their fuse in flying off the handle." Maybe there is some nutrient that is formed in the hair that has a calming effect on females.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Gray
Mrs. Gray, you have my vote of confidence! I confess you could have read me the riot act with me & my sharp tongue, even being off base, but your hairs length supplied your body with the calming effect needed to stay focused & calm. Now I would be disappointed with you if I found out later you were going through your kitchen slamming cubboard doors.
I might add here that slamming cubbard doors was the advice a SDA counselor told my wife as how to let off steam. I bought her a piece of chain instead and asked her to hit the cubboards doors instead, to give them that antique look.

I once met the mother of a 10 year old, long haired girl who had been playing in a playground and her long hair got caught up and it ripped her scalp off too. ( She sought medical help and the damage was repaired.)
I wonder, what is the moral in that occurrence?
Should women tie their long hair back?

Samson had long hair because he was of the Nazirite order, and that IS prescribed in the Bible, that those who are/were dedicated to God in this way do not cut their hair.
John the Baptist was also of this order and Paul at one time took a temporary Nazirite vow in Jerusalem (Acts 21:21-29).
It seems that any man could participate in this at any time. Having long hair could indicate a state of dedication to God
The OT guidelines for following the vow are found in Numbers 6:1-21

FWIW- As to the state of hair length in Jewish culture, here is a tidbit from John Mark Ministries: Quote:
[from usenet]
I may be able to help a little bit with the 'long hair of Jesus thing...
>Why are lots of pictures of Jesus portraying him with long hair?
I recently found out that our modern idea of 'short hair' and that of Our Lord's days are vastly different. Back then hair to the collar or shoulder was not 'long', but in fact short, Mans hair was only considered 'long' when it passed the centre of his back down to his buttocks. On this information, Jesus did not have long hair at all... In fact our modern haircuts of shaved heads and near shaved heads would have been considered a shame in those days by the Christians, as only the pagan religions had shaved heads in their priesthoods (eg: Ancient Egypt and Babylon).

===========================
Thanks Denise for your position, as you probally know, girls with long hair should brush it a 100 times each bay in direct sunlight. But the next time you do this, stroke it another 10% for all the short fused women out there that only brush their hair with a wash cloth.

amen regarding 'the pure in heart'.
God gave you that verse to you to share with me cause so our spiritsh agrees!!!!!!!!!
God gave me Psalms 24:3 and 4. years ago. The HolySpirit gave that preciouse promise to me regarding Celibacy. Ive tried to share this verse withh the good people on Belief.com(SDA area) and they disagreeed and mocked it. So I dont want to go thru that again. Christians can be so nasty when they dont agree withh you line by exact line. And if they do disagree with you on any subject they see fit they QUESTION your christian experience.So what God has shared with me is not up for debate.
Clean Hands and a Pure Heart= True Celibacy
Clean Hands represent outward actions and a Pure Heart represent inner thinking,mindset,and imaginations.
Celibacy is a Gift of GOD. I can change my actions but not my heart.
Praise GOD
Thanku for giving me this opportunity.

Plus, what exactly constitutes long hair? I used to have waist-length hair that gave me a headache--it was too heavy, and if I braided it (uh, oh, a no no) or pulled it back, it really hurt. I now have it a little longer than shoulder length, which is much cooler in HK (I can't stand it so hot when it's that long) and MUCH easier to deal with--some people say that's long--to me, it's short because of how long it used to be. It's all relative.

True story on hair length: happened at church this morning.
Walked in to Sabbath School, sat down next to a woman I haven't seen in 6 months or so. An older woman than I, more direct and to the point. Loving, nonetheless.
No "Hello," no "How've you been, Chris?" Instead, the first words I heard, "You need a haircut."
Nothing Biblical about it. Just short and simple, "You look ridiculous with long hair. Get it cut."
So, I'm most likely going to get a haircut this week!

I would have totally lost myself in laughter! Ha!
This woman is a dear, dear friend. I haven't seen her in long time, but she is so very dear to my heart. It's all right that she greeted me this way. She's honest. She loves me and I know it.
It's the same sort of feeling I'd have if I were to go home to my grandmothers after having been away for a long time--it was a loving way of greeting.
And, besides, I need a hair cut and I know it.
