I thought they all had long hair back then.

I can't imagine barbering techniques were too advanced :thumbsup:

Ever thought that maybe the verse was talking about facial hair that was left un-attended.

Could it be.....

Indeed, Christ did not have long hair.

So what does it mean? Why did Paul feel the need to include this fact in his letter to the Corinthians?

Read Exodus 20:4,5...Romans 1:22,23...Deuteronomy 4:16 & 4:23

Think about it

Exodus 20: 4 You shall not make to you any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

5 You shall not bow down yourself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

Romans 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

23 And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four footed beasts, and creeping things.

Deuteronomy 4:16 Lest you corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female 4:23 Take heed to yourselves, lest you forget the covenant of the LORD your God, which he made with you, and make you a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, which the LORD your God has forbidden you.

I'm afraid I'm more confused than I was to begin with :thumbsup:

The verses have little or nothing to do with the long hair thingy.

Unless of course there's a hidden deeper meaning that niether one of us has caught on to :thumbsup:

Didn't mean to confuse you and yes there is a deeper meaning.

I guess what I'm trying get at is, if Christ didn't have long hair, who's the guy in all the pictures?

No one really knows what Christ looked like. The only description of Him I know of is in Revelations. If there are others, please correct me. I won't be offended.

The bible warns us of many things. False teachers, false prophets, false doctrines, and of course idolatry.

When you attach a face to the name you have basically made yourself an idol.

What do think would happen if someone suddenly showed up working miracles and had the same physical appearance as that image? How many people do you think would blindly follow this individual, believeing him to be the Christ?

Matt. 24:23,24 "Then if anyone says to you, look, here is the Christ, or there. Do not believe it.

For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect".

Just something to think about.

Very true Nite Owl,

My Pastor always asks us to be careful in buying something with the picture of Jesus in them.

Cause if no one saw Jesus, how did a person/persons get the revelation to draw him has such.

And more importantly did the revelation come from God or you know the other guy...

Who is that guy in the picture ?

I am not really into conspiracy theories but I must admit it does give us something to think about.

I however am a fervent believer in Gods strength and that he can break down any boundaries has such I would not do much more than think about it.

Thanks for the info Nite Owl God bless you.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
