Subject: Men having long hair a disgrace? |
Bible Note: srbaegon, Just wondering why your answer is ----"In both cases, the answer is most likely," "No." Is there anyplace where it says, they had short hair? Or do we assume this, because it was the custom of the time? Or do we get this belief from 1 Cor.11 where it talks about being covered, shaved, shorn, or in verse 14 "if a man have long hair it is a shame unto him" ? The question then arises, why then was it not a shame for Samson, and Samuel to never, in there lives be allowed to cut their hair? Although Samson's was cut once. Seems like long hair to a man is either a shame or it isn't, vow or no vow. We may say, "it was different in Old Testament times." But isn't it believed that John the Baptist, may have also been under a Nazarite vow, also having long hair. I'm not defending long hair for men, just cant see where it is ok one time, and not another. It would appear as though Jesus would have had the Vow of a Nazarite on his life, more than any man ever born, In Him Imm |
