Is there a problem with my daughter? -
11-06-2016, 05:56 PM
So, we're having a problem in our home. Last week after I had finished educating the children for the day and George came back from work, we had prayer time as we did every day. George, George Jr, and Mahershalalhashbaz went off to their prayer closets, while Annabeth and I put on our hats (1 Corinthians 11:5) and we thought that Sarah had put on hers as well, but it turns out she forgot (I'm pretty sure that's just an excuse) Accident or not, we had to punish her. George grabbed the razor and started to shave her head as 1 Corinthians 11:6 says. A week later, her hair still hasn't grown back. We are starting to become concerned, as the Bible also said that women should have long hair even and men should not. We were on our way to church this morning and someone looked at Sarah as if she were gay or something. We even had her wear her hat, but you could still tell she was bald underneath. Is this a problem that needs to be fixed? Should we get her a wig, or would that be comparing her to a cancer child? Please help us and pray for us.

She has lice, right? That's all you have to say.
May you be a blessing to every life you touch.

Well, wigs remind me of Orthodox Jewesses, so I would never do that personally. Then again, a scarf around her head would give the impression that you're looking for handouts, as cancer is an attention-whoring act to get free money. I'm all for natural consequences, and when people at church ask if she's got cancer, or trying to look like El from Stranger Things, I'd support her father giving her a smack for lying to people. She'll learn not only not to forget the Holy Scriptures, but excuses don't fly in a Godly home.
Hello, my name is Mary. I hope to fellowship with you! That is, unless you don't listen to church authority (Deuteronomy 17:12); are a witch (Exodus 22:17); are a homosexual (Leviticus 20:13; Romans 1:24-32); or fortuneteller (Leviticus 20:27) or a snotty kid who hits their dad (Exodus 21:15); or curses their parents (Proverbs 20:20; Leviticus 20:9); an adulterer (Leviticus 20:10); a non-Christian (Exodus 22:19; Deuteronomy 13:7-12; Deuteronomy 17:2-5;Romans 1:24-32); an atheist (2 Chronicles 15:12-13); or false prophet (Zechariah 13:3); from the town of one who worships another, false god (Deuteronomy 13:13-19); were a non-virgin bride (Deuteronomy 22:20-21); or blasphemer (Leviticus 24:10-16), as God calls for your execution and will no doubt send you to Hell, and I have no interest developing a friendship with the Spiritually Walking Dead.

My dearest Anne, why in the world would your husband do that?
Doesn't he know that the long hair was given to woman as the covering?
1 Corinthians 11:15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.
Now, why would he even think about getting her a wig to fix what he has broken? Is your husband a Jew or something?

I think the larger issue here is the fact that people have been looking at you girl child as if she was gay.
This is most worrying. Nothing makes Jesus more angry than a lady lesbian (or any of the gaywise).
Romans 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
You need to ask what you as a parent have done so wrong that you imagine other people are looking at her as if she may be a lesbiopath, immediately and thoroughly!
There is a fith sense homersexualism enthusiasts and special trained professionals such as myself have that works like a special kind of sonar for detecting the signs of youths on the brink of making the choice to be attracted to the same sex. This gay sonar (gonar) is probably pinging like crazy to the predatory homophiles in your area and this is what you may be observing.
With the new fad of being bi-sex professionals such as myself have fine tuned our gonar into a sensitive organ to detect the sexual decision points of young people who have decided to be attracted to both man and woman.
My gay/bi sonar (gay bonar) is self taught at the Liberty University back in the seventies but people who spontaneously decide to be an homersexualism advocate have one inbuilt to detect easy prey and lesbians love nothing more than claiming another victim who's parts they can assault until they go off.
From what you say I'm betting my gay bonar would be pulsing when I saw your daughter. I can tell you for a fact that whenever my youthful, clean limbed young nephew is staying over I always focus on my gay bonar on him.
Dunno about the hair, that's a bit of a head scratcher, that. Maybe JESUS is trying to tell you something?
All the best.
YIC
1 Corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
Revelation 22:15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
Leviticus 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

This doesn't seem like a very interesting problem to me. However, this does:

Mahershalalhashbaz has his own prayer closet at only 6 weeks old? How exactly did he "go off" to it? Either he is an extraordinarily advanced baby, which seems highly improbable, or something doesn't ring true here.
Vaccinated by the love of Jesus!!!

Oh goodness, I forgot to mention that he goes with George. We would put the baby for a nap, but well, you know how important prayer is!

In the Corinthian culture, a woman who covered her head during worship or when she was in public displayed her submission to authority.
In today's culture, people no longer view a woman's wearing of a head covering as a sign of submission. In most modern societies, scarves and hats are fashion accessories.
The real issue here is the heart attitude of obedience to God's authority and submission to His established order. Exodus 20:12, Ephesians 6:1, Colossians 3:20, Proverbs 1:8, Ephesians 6:1-4
May God bless you as you endeavor to raise your children for him

Wait, wait, what?
Are you suggesting that the Holy Bible does not apply to modern life in its totality? That we should not follow 100% of it because parts of it were written for people of another culture? (BTW, did you mean "Greek culture?" If not please explain how did the "Corinthian" culture vary from the mainstream Greek culture?)
That is a slippery slope, my friend. Next you'll be saying that atheists can go to Heaven and such.

Negative! It does require total obedience. But only one who has studied the word of God, and has a relationship with Jesus Christ would have a desire to follow the Bible 100%. What I failed to ask in the reply was if her daughter did have a relationship with Jesus.
I used the word "Corinthian" as I am ignorant to what was the right culture. Paul was writing it at the time to the Church at Corinth. However I do believe that the Bible is applicable for today. 2 Timothy 3:16, Psalm 119:89

You are so right, Sister Basilissa. So much of "today's culture" got that way because people cherry-picked, misinterpreted or just plain refuted the Bible. Why would any person calling themselves a Christian think that the Bible needs to be understood in the light of a given culture or historical timeframe?
How simple and straightforward is this verse?
1 Peter 1:25
But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
There are so many abhorrent practices today that are accepted because people refused to stand fast with the Eternal Word of the One True God.
Furthermore, anyone who has read the Whole Bible knows why the Jews were bumped from their favored position with the Lord.
Exodus 19:8
And all the people answered together, and said, All that the Lord hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the Lord.
The whole point of the Bible is to do what God tells you to do, not what is acceptable to your culture. The Jews said that they would do everything that the Lord told them to do, but they didn't. And look where it got them!
Our current culture thinks it is okay for a woman to wear pants and run for president. But that is not okay with God and that is why we need Trump to bring America back to our Biblical roots and make it great again.
Please America, if you love Jesus, vote for Trump so we can have our country back from the godless liberals who are running our "modern culture" straight to hell.

Hello. Would you like to make a thread of your own in the introduction sub-forum? Then we can get to know you and you can get to know us. We really aren't disgusting in the least--we're simply Biblical to the most.

Did you think the Lord thy God was only fooling when He inspired Paul to admonish fluffy bunny Christians? For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn:
but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.
1 Corinthians 11:6
Do you think He was kidding when He talks about Salvation, too?

You shall not shave around the sides of your head, nor shall you disfigure the edges of your beard" (Leviticus 19:27); and, "They shall not make any bald place on their heads, nor shall they shave the edges of their beards nor make any cuttings in their flesh" I personally don't see this as evidence at all, but here is your bible quote with some relevance to this situation, every situation in this world cannot be solved by the bible. Finally, my point is not all evidence comes from the bible, and when something that is in plain sight is wrong in the situation most of time common sense comes in play rather than evidence to sight the obvious.

How does that verse apply, exactly?
Do you seriously think that a very young female child can have a beard?

Are you suggesting that God gave us an imperfect Manual of Life? Be careful, dear - a logical conclusion would be that God is imperfect as well.

Sorry to disappoint you, but your "common sense" is a cultural construct. A common sense today is very different than 100 years ago, and a common sense in downtown New York is very different than common sense in rural Appalachia.
Therefore, common sense cannot be used as the "one size fits all" rule. However, we are lucky to have another thing that can and should be used as the gold standard of moral behavior, and that is the Holy Bible.
