Why dont penacostal people believe in braiding hair?

i was just wondering. once i was braiding my cousins hair at her house and my uncle came in the room, gasped, and told her to take it out IMMEDIATLEY.



do braids symbolize something to penacostal believers?



Why dont penacostal people believe in braiding hair?

coz it says somewhere in the bible (i think in first timothy...i can't really remember where) that a woman is to dress moderately - not with braided or gold or pearls or costly apparel...so i guess that is where they're getting it from. But I, personally, have never met any pentacostal who has said that!!



Actually, in the bible, the so-called "bad" women used to braid their hair...but it wasn't the kinds of braids that we know of...like one or two long braids...they used to overdo it and wear heaps of braids and put them up around their heads much like a "wreath" and then they used to decorate it with flowers and all different decorations...and they were overdressing...etc...but, personally, i don't see anything wrong with just one or two simple braids, and i don't think God would say that's wrong either.



Does your uncle and his wife wear wedding rings? Just ask him...it says in the bible for a woman not to wear gold...then why does she wear a gold wedding ring? See what he says!



I don't think it's wrong to wear jewellry or wedding rings or clothes...but it's just when people start to abuse those things...and put on too much and overdo it...then it becomes wrong, because why would a woman do that??? There must be some wrong motive behind it there!

it is preening, which is a prideful act.

They consider that a womans hair is a crown of glory and as such should not be "defiled" for this to them is going against God's favor.

I think it has to do with making the hair so appealing for people to notice. Styling hair can be attraction for men or boys. Not to have hair of seduction, something like that.

Must be some radical pentacostals! Never heard that before.

A few of the local Pentecostal girls here do braid their hair. But most don't. Many of them will put it into a bun, though. I think there may be a Biblical injunction against plaiting or otherwise ornamenting the hair. They believe that a woman's hair is her crowning glory before God, and for that reason, many Pentecostal women will not cut their hair. Also, too much personal ornamentation is considered prideful, and is therefore a sin.

READ 1 TIMOTHY CH-2 VERSE 9 I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU....



Why dont penacostal people believe in braiding hair?

No. He was personal like the word talks about modest women not to braid their hair or wear jewels and make up. 1 Timothy 2:9-10. Some penacostals take the word of God or should I say parts of it literally. Yet at times even they are prone to lust. Matthew 5:28.

Pentacostals think braiding hair is a sin?



This is news to me! I live next to one of their churches, and I see them wearing braids, make-up, jewelry, the whole ball of wax. Now, they used to frown upon cutting a woman's hair, but that is no longer considered to be wrong.



Why dont penacostal people believe in braiding hair?

I've been a Pentecostal for over 22 years and I've never heard anything about braiding hair.



Why dont penacostal people believe in braiding hair?

The women are expected to dress modestly, not with " broided hair, or gold or pearls,or costly array" Timothy I 2:9



I haven't seen any of the grown women pentacostals that I know wear anything but long skirts, either. I do not know how much that varies, it may just be in my area.



Why dont penacostal people believe in braiding hair?

I'm Pentecostal,and I have no problem with it. I get my hair cut regularly and even dye it once in a while. I get tired of the same look all the time,so I change it sometimes.

When you say, "Pentecostal," you need to be more specific. It's only the legalistic ones that hold all these beliefs.
