BTS,
Just to reply to your one question: "Was Paul referring to a hairstyle or a physical covering in 1 Cor 11:4-7?"
The context of Paul's statement is a little ambiguous. He clearly is speaking about hair in verse 6, so it seems reasonable to conclude he was also speaking about hair as a covering throughout. I lean towards that interpretation, which Bro. Branham also taught.
However, to add a bit of historic context, it was actually common in that time for women to wear wigs. Especially among the well-to-do. They actually kept themselves shaved, and wore a wig on their head. So I lean towards the covering being a wig. I personally find that interpretation makes the most sense of any that I have ever heard. Which explains why he goes on to say let the women be shorn - not because they go around bald, but because then they can wear the wig.
I could insert a picture of Vestal Goodman here.. haha.
Ultimately on this topic I believe the bible clearly calls for a woman to have long hair.
You state "You really have diverged significantly from what I believe William Branham clearly taught." That is a nice way of saying the same thing the Ontario street preachers say about us. We would argue we are the true continuation of Bro. Branham's followers.
King Regards,
ABM
