of course you can cut your hair. But I dont know about dieing it. I think it says somewhere in the old testament that it's not good to put tatoos on your body or something ..

Some people I know use verse 15 to say a woman shouldn't cut their hair, ever.

But they seem to forget the next verse, 16 which to me, makes it clear that it is not a commandment to not cut your hair.
1 Corinthians 11:15-16 (New King James Version)

15 But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her[a] for a covering. 16 But if anyone seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor do the churches of God

 

[Goldfishgal]

Okay. Thanks. It was that verse that she gave me and I didn't really get it.

What about ear peircings?

(Anything not done in faith is sin. -James)

Your body is yours to do with as you wish providing you are not hurting anyone else. If you want to shave off your hair, dye it or whatever, that is your choice!

 

[RedKnight]

Where does it say that you can not cut/or dye your hair I have never heard of such a thing

 

[RedKnight]

Now Tangnefedd you saying that you can cut your self if that what you wanted todo as long as you don't hurt any one is that what your saying?

 

[Tangnefedd]

I am saying that providing I don't use my body as a weapon what I choose to do with it is my business!

 

[Lynn73]

I don't think it's a sin, no.

 

[RedKnight]

So is not God's business is that what you are saying or am I hearing things

 

[Goldfishgal]

Well God gave you the body so its not technically yours right?

No.

if it doesnt dishonour god, n doesnt hold u back from doing his will then surely theres nothin wrong with a few tatts or piercings, long hair, short hair, purple hair, no hair...wateva....god gave us our bodies but didnt he also give us a free will?

 

[PorcelainHeart]

I don't see how it's a sin, your not upseting GOD doing it. And it's not hurting anyone in the end.

 

[discernomatic]

I am not conscious of a scripture verse against cutting or dyeing hair. Putting permanent marks on the body, like tattoos, though, is mentioned negatively.

 

[Kelly]

No it's not.

I guess one could argue that if you are young enough to live in your parent's home and it's against their wishes, you're not honoring your mother and father if you do so.

No. It's not a sin. Sometimes you'll meet "super-christian" types who call everything THEY don't like a sin or see Satan in everything they don't like...just ignore them. They're insane.

 

[Lasias]

no it's not ,i'd like to dye my hair

1co 6:13
Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
1co 6:19
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

1co 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
1co 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
