Topic: Dress and makeup

Question

Why is it that we make so much of a big issue of women’s dress (Oh, oh, I’m getting it on this one, ain’t I?)—big issue of women’s dressing and cutting of hair, and do…nothing said about the hair of the man or the way he dresses?

Answer

Well, sister, I’m going to agree with you one thing. First place, the Bible said that a man should not have long hair. And if he had long hair, I’d tell him, just the same as I tell you. He’s wrong. But most men, lot of them’s like me, don’t have any at all. But most men cut their hair, look like me...

Question

I’d like to ask a question. Number one: Is lady’s pajamas…(Now, wait just a minute; let me read it…?…No, this’ll be all right.) Is a lady’s pajamas pertaining to a man’s garments?

Answer

Boy, don’t tell me they can’t ask you some burners. I don’t know. I’m just going to let you do the deciding of that. You shouldn’t be parading around before people with them on; I—I know that. So that way it would be, but in the…in going to bed I—I—I don’t know. I’m going to have to back up on that...

Question

Now, first question I pulled out of here: Brother Branham, is it wrong for a Christian to put—to put her hair in pin curls? Also, what length should her sleeves be? Thank you. A sister.

Answer

Now, that’s…means a whole lot to that woman. Now, to some of us brothers we might think, “Oh, the silly woman.” But—but it’s not silly to her; she wants to know. Now, about putting hair in what was it, pig tails or something another? I’m sorry. I—I didn’t…It…I’m sorry. Pin curls. Excuse me. Pin sets...

Question

Brother Branham: Questions: Should a Christian woman wear simple jewelry, as necklaces or pearls?

Answer

Well, Sister, I know this means a lot to you, and it means a lot for me for you to place your confidence I’d tell you the truth. Now remember, the Bible said, “When you adorn, do not adorn with—with costly jewels, and pearls, and all kinds of wearing of jewelry, but let that be the adorning of a pea...

Question

Brother Branham, is it all right for a—a young child to wear slacks and shorts?

Answer

How young? Just let you be the judge of that; if you’re a Christian. A little girl or any little bitty kid, I imagine, I don’t know, I…Only thing I know, the Bible says it’s an abomination for a woman to wear a garment that’s—that pertains to a man. See? “A woman,” didn’t say, “a child.” But now, I...

Question

Brother Branham, what do you think about our…(Uh-oh! I remember reading this one. I wasn’t…I was going to keep it back late, but I guess I might as well read it. Some woman’s handwrite. She must be from Kentucky, ’cause she’s got a—a Kosmos Portland Cement ticket here.) Brother Branham, what do you think about our sisters in the church wearing such short dresses? Doesn’t it mar our testimony and set the wrong example for our young people in this our church? It seems so i-n-…to see a young…to see a grown woman wearing a dress so short that it shows her knees when she walks.

Answer

Ever who you are, sister or brother, whoever it is, I agree with you one hundred percent. It’s a disgrace, but tell me what to do about it! I preach it just as hard as I know how to preach it; they do it the same. So it’s their judgment, ’cause the Word’s went forth. Yes, I’m certainly against them...

Question

If it is wrong for me to—is it wrong for me to run a—a beauty shop? I’m a beautician and don’t believe in Christians cutting her hair, but I cut others’ and (I guess it’s t-i-n-t, tint, that means the color, I guess, isn’t it?) color also.

Answer

Sister dear, I would—I wouldn’t know what to tell you. Listen, I can’t say for women about that, putting color in their hair. I have no Scripture against that; I can only stay with the Scripture. See? The Scripture don’t say for them not to do that. The Scripture says she must have long hair, and af...

Question

Brother Branham, does this First Timothy 2:9 mean a woman cannot braid her hair? Does broid hair mean “braided” hair?

Answer

Now look, sister, now this…I’m—I’m glad that followed this. I never fixed it there, but it just—it followed that good. Notice, a braided hair in that day was the sign of a street woman; that’s what she done, braided her hair. And Paul said to the Christians, “Now, that adorning, not let it be of a b...

Question

Who was the first woman to use makeup, and what happened to her?

Answer

But there King Ahab had went down and married this little queen, or little princess, and she was a idolater. He married out of the—out of the covenant. And when he did it, brought trouble into Israel. And she torn down. Boy, she was a spitfire, my, if there ever was one. Maybe a beautiful girl, beau...

Question

Did Jesus dress differently from other men of His day?

Answer

Now, let’s look what kind of a group that was: of lame, halt, blind, withered. What a—a mass of disfigured humanity, waiting for the troubling of this water. Historians tell us that they’d even fight to get into the water, cut each other with knives to try to get ahead of the other one, to step in t...
