A woman at church rebuked me with this verse. I have longish hair(a little past my shoulders). Is this a command to have it cut? And to what length? What is long and what isn't?

"I declare that neither Pope, Bishop, nor any man, has the power to impose the smallest matter on a Christian, except by His own consent..." -- Martin Luther

On May 14, 1521, Luther wrote to Spalatin:

"After being captured I was stripped of my own clothes and dressed in a knight's cloak. I am letting my hair and beard grow so that you would hardly know me...Now I am living in Christian liberty."
