The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum first corinthians11: 1-16

I don't want to get into any complicated debates but isn't the issue on whether you take those verses literally or stating a principle. Those who take it as principle will say that those passages speak of women submissiveness (biblical speaking), and during the 1st century long hair represented that, women being submissive. Today, long hair does not represent that. So, the principle should still be taught and applied, but that the literal aspect of keeping the hair long is no longer required.
