Some day, you'll have to tell me how to link chronological respect for Christ with the message of salvation.

You had asked if Paul could care less about hair. My response is to bring up the most important question that a person could ask, what must I do to be saved? Paul was a participant in the answering of the question and did not mention having the correct length of hair. Or anything else except that a person needs to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Now if hair was going to be an important factor in serving Christ that would have been the time to mention it.



Yes, and this just might be reason to check what translator gave the greater percentage of change to v15. My, the difference in a missing question mark. Several have, and several don’t. No wonder people get bogged down with conflicting definitions.
It would be great if I were to be totally fluent in the original languages that the Bible was written in. That would also have its problems with others that are fluent in the same languages because agreement is so hard to come by in whatever you do. It is my opinion that we have to trust that God will lead us into all truth by his Holy Spirit in spite of our persistence in believing that we know best. The face to face meeting will settle it all and we can then laugh at our own ignorance of the subject that we “knew” that we had 100% right.
