Hair length is probably a transcultural moral obligation; application to today

All The Head Covering Debates (1 Cor 11): Women in Ministry part 10 03:56:45 – 03:58:17

Mike draws practical conclusions from the nature argument.

Scripture seems to argue for a moral obligation related to hair length based on how God made male and female. How long is 'too long'? That is somewhat culture-dependent. But the principle: men should look like men, women should look like women. The trend of androgyny is not healthy. Outward expressions should refer to actual biological gender. Craig Keener agrees at minimum: Paul addresses symbolic gender distinctions.
