 ===Women not cutting their hair===
-There are quotes back and forth from Bro Braham on the issue of women cutting their hair.  The quote read that ‘Thus saith the Lord, a man has the right to divorce his wife if she cuts her hair’ was when I began researching what exactly Bro Branham and the Bible said about the issue.  Bro Branham said:

+So I started studying hair and women in the Bible.  1 Corinthians 11 used the Greek word of “cutting close to the head” as something women shouldn’t do.  They were just commanded to have long hair, not long ‘uncut’ hair.  The only scripture for not cutting the hair ‘at all’ was the Nazarite vow in the Old Testament (Numbers 6:1-21) in which:
+#It was for a season of time
+#It was for both men and women

 The question in my heart was, “Why would something that wasn’t in scripture, and something that Bro Branham went from one extreme (allowing divorcement over to it) to another (okay to trim) become such a huge doctrine in the Message?”
