<TITLE>20. Par -</TITLE>L-329-Q-73 Now, now, if you... The 8th question...
73. Why hair because of angels of I Corinthians?
Now, somebody get me I Corinthians the--the 11th chapter, and we'll see there, that you'll find out that the--the... In I Corinthians the--the 11th, we find out that Paul is speaking. Let me get over to it just a minute, and then we'll read it right quick, and then we'll--we'll have it down.
I got something to say on this other verse here, that I hope the Lord gives it to us the way we should have it. If somebody find it... I think that's the 11th chapter. Yeah. All right. Now, listen close, real close now, so that you'll understand. Now, take all your conscience and put it in your vest pocket till after I read this (You see?), comment on it. Listen real close, this is THUS SAITH THE LORD.
Be ye followers of me, even as I... am of Christ. (Paul said, "You follow me, just as I follow Christ.")
Now, I praise you, brethren, that you remember me in all things, and keeping of the ordinances, as I delivered... unto you.
But I would have you to 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.
See how it is? God, Christ, man, woman. Now.
Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors Christ.
But every woman praying or prophesy with her head uncovered dishonors her head:...
Now, we get just a minute, and show you that the hair to the woman is her covering.
... for that... even all one as if she was shaven. (That means that if--if she's going to cut her hair, then shave it off.)
For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: ("Shorn" means "shaven." See?)... but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.

L-330-758 Now, we're getting right down to the question you're asking. See? All right. Now, it is wrong for a--a lady to cut her hair according to the Bible. Now, you listen right here and see if the Bible don't give a man a legal right to put away his wife if she cuts her hair: see if this is right or not.
If a man... For a man indeed ought not to cover his head,... (That's, have long hair.)... forsomuch as he is in the image and the glory of God: but the woman is in the glory of the man. (Did you ever think of that?)
I want to stop here, 'cause I want this to soak in real good. See? And now remember, I've seen tens of thousands of lovely women (know them right now, and plenty of them setting in this church) that has short hair, that's Christians. And what I lay it onto, is not you; it's the way you been taught. See? That's it. Your preacher never told you this. But if any of the women around the Tabernacle like that, then they're guilty (See?), 'cause we sure tell them about it.
Now, now watch this.
... a man... For... (7th verse)... For a man...

L-330-762 Now, who's speaking here? Now, sometime a lady say, "Oh, Paul was an old woman-hater."
Well, now while we're at that, let's just turn over here to Galatians 1:8, and see what Paul says about this (See?) in Galatians 1:8. You'll find out that Paul said here in Galatians 1:8...
...though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel than this you've already heard, let him be accursed.
Now, don't blame me, you blame Him. See?
For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forsomuch as he is in the glory and the image of God: but the woman is in the glory and the image of man.
Now, watch the next verse.
For the man is not of the woman; but the woman is of the man.
Neither was the man created for a woman; but the woman was created for a man.
