Oh, I don't find the issue funny at all, though I often think that the debate is quite comical. If you feel that I have mocked you, I apologize. I was trying to bring a little levity to this thread.

As long as we are in the book of Proverbs...

Proverbs 17:22
A cheerful heart is a good medicine, but a downcast spirit dries up the bones.

Moving back to savedandhappy1's post, how wonderful that you should demonstrate once again the picking and choosing, lifting verses 13, 15 and 16 to support your point, ignoring in particular verses 12 and 14. Read without your added emphasis, the question in v13 sounds rather like rhetoric to me. Paul seems to state that men should have short hair and be uncovered, and women have long hair/covered heads (because in that culture, shaved women were shamed harlots and long-haired men were effeminate).

However, v16 concedes that this issue isn't of God, but the perceived sin is in the minds of certain humans, and the issue should not be allowed to split the church, or become a point to be bickered about.
If I was picking and choosing I wouldn't have post all the verses for everyone to read so they can make up their own minds, now would I?:doh:

But you can keep claiming that, I will just hope and pray that the people will read all of the posts and see the truth.:prayer:
