    Wearing braids in your hair is not a sin. God just does not come want women to spend so much time on their outer appearance and neglect the the inner woman. God does not want me spending hours in the gym or health club working out and not anytime in the Bible reading and studying His Word. I must feed my soul and spirit more than I feed my body .

      Exactly, the kjv versions says do no let your adornment be merely outward. ... Merely means " only" ... God does not want wives to focus only on looks but to focus on what is on the inside also.

    Paul's point was simply that we ought not deck ourselves out in outward stuff, so that it distracts from the spiritual person inside. We are supposed to be focused on spiritual things, not on earthly stuff.

    Thank you!
    My soul is much calm now. I was struggling and crying for 5 months finding out if I should braid my hair or not.
    I identify as a Ghanaian-American child (African-American) who has 4c hair that break and splits, the only way to keep my hair
    in place for a long time and make sure it's protected so I don't have to focus on it is to just braid it or twist it.
    I never liked color in my braids or having jewels on my braids. I like it plain and simple.
    Thank you so much again, and may God bless the god-fearing people upon Earth!

      I had the same question too but then I realized (through reading the Bible and asking questions) that God made my hair a specific way. We should take care of the hair/body God gave us but we should also make sure we don’t obsess over our appearance. I also have 4c hair and braid it to maintain its health and to look presentable for many days. I only put jewelry in it for special occasions bc I believe it is appropriate during that time.

    No, the life of a Christian is to make sure our light shines (Matt. 5:16) and that Christ's life and example needs to be seen in us (Gal. 2:20). We are not interested in impressing people in the outward appearance (I Pet. 3), but in making sure the "heart" of a person (Christ) shines through. This is the point. Thanks for the good question.

    Wow... a lot of interest .. that's awesome! Having grown up in a church that took that particular scripture quite literally... (Even wearing a gold watch was a sin) I appreciate everyone's comments.. different perspectives are welcome .. :) I believe ... (I'm only giving my opinion) that it's referring to .. Don't let the outward person's attire or adornment be the "dipstick" whereby we measure his or her holiness.. I've known men and women who "dress" the part and are full of evil on the inside.. Jesus said it's not what goes in a person that defiles them but, rather, what comes out ... (Out of the heart...out of the mouth... actions) So, my little belief is ... moderation... in the middle.. modesty .. not too gaudy .. but certainly, braiding hair is not a sin .. neither is "wearing of apparel" (in the same scripture) ...if so (?) We would all be nudists LOL ... Good answer sir .. thanks for the video ..

    Meaning do not let it be what defines your beauty. You can wear weave or jewelry, but where is your focus, where is your heart ? Is it on the Lord or on these things. Don’t take pleasure on those things, for they can bring distractions which can then lead you to the world.

      @@7heLoveofGod hi! I believe the true question is why aren’t we satisfied with what God created? Would THE creator, the one who ultimately defines beauty, would he be content knowing that his creation whom he loves so much, the one he uniquely designed, all of a sudden decided they wanted to add or take away from what he completed and deemed beautiful and perfect in his sight?
      What does God say?
      Psalm 139: vs 14,
      I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
      AND
      Isaiah 55: vs 8-9 says
      For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
      neither are your ways my ways,”
      declares the Lord.
      “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways
      and my thoughts than your thoughts.
      Also, in the beginning God spoke the physical things of the world into existence; and although man was not spoken into existence rather we were created from the dust of the ground that was spoken into creation. Anything spoken by the most high is considered Gods word, do you agree?
      In Deuteronomy 4:2, God says you shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.
      If we are a result of Gods spoken word wouldn’t that mean that we should abide by his divine order and not add anything to ourselves OR take anything away?? God bless

    How could some of you possibly understand that scripture to mean it’s a sin to braid your hair, is unbelievable. You don’t even need discernment to understand what that Scripture saying.
    Whose adorning let it not be THAT OUTWARD ADORNING OF
    1) plaiting (arrangingof hair, trending styles) the hair
    2) wearing of gold
    3) putting on of apparel (fine & expensive clothes]
    If you’re understanding that scripture to tell you not to braid your hair then you also better understand that scripture is telling you not to put on clothes. Obviously the word is simply telling you to let your adorning be the hidden man of the heart in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit which is in the sight of God great price. 1 Peter 3:3-4
    We all know there are people that are high into fashion and huge on adorning themselves with all kind of different styles and lots of makeup, their whole focus is on their outward appearance. The word is simply telling us that our focus should not be on the outward man. It is not telling you not to get dressed and not to do your hair. The word further encourages us to simply dress in modest apparel. We all know what that is. Nobody is twisting the scriptures. If you are in a religion that’s teaching people that they should not braid their hair you are wrong. This scripture does not does not back that claim. As I previously stated, if you believe that is what this scripture is saying, then you must also believe you are not to put on clothes (apparel). Come on saints. Stop turning everything into a doctrine and then telling people they’re going to hell. Jesus Christ paid the price for my sin on the cross. I’m saved by my confession of Jesus Christ. He is the son of God that was sent here to the earth, he was crucified, he died he was buried and he was resurrected and is forever seated at the right hand of the father God making intercession for us. This is my belief. I have confessed this with my mouth, I believe it in my heart, and I’m saved. Romans 10:9-10

    1. Why is it outward adorning not good? Because outward beauty leads people to the world. It can easily cause believers to fall into sin.
    2. Why is it inward adorning good? Because inward beauty leads people in to the kingdom of God. People will not be attracted by false appearance but all the good inner characters radiating from the heart.
    Whatever we do, it must glorify God, therefore do not seek praise from THE WORLD. By doing so you are not glorifying God and guess what!! You just received your reward here on earth!!

When we go to the Bible, God was saying it is the "hidden man of the heart" that is the true focus. The braiding of hair today and what those folks did in the 1st century is not the same.

    It's means not putting al these beads in your hairt etc...to gain attention to yourself. Where that is the first thing people notice about you or wearing flashy jewelry or too much jewelry. Where everyone see's the material & not you.
    All about brining Glory & attention to God and not to yourself. We can wear braiding but Do not go overboard & take attention off God & put on U if we are Women of God.

    I don't believe this because in Solomon chapter 5 it talks about one of our prophets having "Locs" that is a form of braiding. Braids have been in centuries for years, in almost every culture. I doubt that "braiding" has anything to do with prayer, supplication, or even marriage. What version of the Bible are you reading? Peter seems to be in the back of that book... Hmm... Not falling for it. God loves everyone our hair shouldn't "Condemn" us if that was the case then it wouldn't have been around in The Lord's era and before his.

    So this scripture isn't about not branding your hair or not wearing gold, but is about letting Jesus, The Lord the Spirit of God be your covering.
    And to not be focused on the outward body, but the inner person, the spirit and soul of the person that God has made new! Right?!
    Amen?!
    Because that's all that's going to matter and that's all that's going to exist eventually, and soon!
    People we need to get it through our head that the spiritual realm was before the physical realm and that's what should be considered first and foremost and above the physical!
    This is like the "dreamlike" state! Here in the physical universe!
    When we get into the spiritual realm many people are going to be shocked at how much more "real" it is than here!
    So you better listen to The Lord and build up your treasure in Heaven!
    And I don't necessarily mean money and wealth and things like that! Those things are going to pass away! I mean our service to The Lord! Those are the treasures that are going to last and mean something!
    Did you try to be the best good and faithful servant to The Lord that He made you able to be?!
    Give your life to The Lord! Really give it! Realize that God is and Truly Believe!
    I heard something recently that rung true to me.
    "God gave you the gift of life.
    Give God the gift of your life!"
    Make your life a gift to The Lord that we love so much!
    Realize that God is and Truly Believe! TRULY Believe!!
    It's amazing how many people claim to be Christian and don't actually and Truly Believe!
    Test your belief against the scriptures!
    If you aren't sure test it and see if it stands up with the scriptures, The Word of God! Absolute Truth and Facts!
    The Lord said "To live is Christ and to die is gain"! So don't let the enemy hold you back with fear!
    Our Lord commanded us to NOT fear!
    Truly come to know and understand the scripture "To live is Christ and to die is gain"! Because if you actually understand it you will know you don't need to fear! ANYTHING!
    It's great to live and have the opportunity to stay here and serve Him as much as possible, but if you get called home it only gets better for you if you are a true believer!
    Amen?!
    THIS is to Truly Believe and try to be the best good and faithful servant you can be with as much as The Lord has made you able!
    Don't let yourself feel "embarrassed" to talk to people about The Lord! Because that is putting man before The Lord! Think about it.
    I had to learn that one myself!
    Let's bring in as many as we can to The Lord while we have time.
    Hope this helps.
    I love you all!

      I am not qualified to talk about genetics in that sense. It has been observed that when groups of people live closer to one another and interbreed, etc., over generations, some genetic traits come out that might not be seen in other groups of people. So, as Ham's people went to Africa while Shem's people stayed in the middle east, there were certain genetic markers that came out in one group that didn't in another and vice versa. That is a simplistic answer but this how I know how to answer such a question.

It was what the ladies braided INTO their hair, and even then the point was: Is this action focusing people on someone's body instead of "the hidden man of the heart"? I can't make that decision for you. You must examine what you do and compare it with God's Scriptures (II Cor. 13:5). If you're being a modest person, then you're doing what God says to do. If not, then read what God says in I Peter 3 and make the proper changes. Thanks so much and I hope you will come back and visit this channel again soon. We strive to update weekly with new videos.

      Please watch the video and you will see the explanation and answer to the question. In response to the "coloring" vs "braiding" question, the word in the KJV and a few others is "plaiting," but in about a dozen other translations, it is braiding. In fact, Strong's Lexicon says the original word means braiding. The practice in those days was to braid or intertwine strands of gold or silver into the hair so as to make it seem shiny or glowing. For this reason, some versions use the term "ostentatious hairdos" because the idea was something very gaudy. As I said, watch the video and this is explained further.

      It is a woman's glory to have long hair and a shame for a man to have long hair. Read the scripture.

    Wrong. If she braid her hair and I get a mohark trim and we both go to church. In yourself and to others we will look different from christians . We're going to look like the world. To put it simple You have a godly look and you have an ungodly look. When you put in brain be honest, doesn't it make you feel more like the world? And when you men trim in a mohark doent it make you feel like the world more and not a Christian more. It have to bother you inside a little that it's wrong, don't ignore the feeling.
