Bible Question:
In Chapter 11 verse 14, it says"Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him" Where does nature teach us that? The biggest male lion has the biggest mane and rules his den. And wasn't Sampson strength in his long hair? How many paintings portray Jesus and His disciples with short hair? None that I have seen. I am really struggling with this one. |
Bible Answer: Dear quik 76, Thank you for the question. The referrences to hair in 1Cor 11, are in reference to a spiritual veil, not physical hair. A woman needs to keep her spiritual veil on(long hair) and a man must not put on a false spiritual veil(long hair). A good example of where we can see the difference between the physical(flesh) understanding and the spiritual understanding is found in 2Cor 11:2. Paul says we are espoused to one husband and that we are to be presented as chaste virgins. This is not meant to be understood as physical virgins but as spiritual virgins. We are spiritual virgins when we are cleansed from the lies of the world through the reading and understanding of the Bible. I hope this helps. Bless you, Love Fountain Eph 5:25-32 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. 28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: 30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. 32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
