Some people use such art to prove Jesus looked clean shaven and short hair, but its actually cultural approbation, just like in China Jesus looks Oriental (see pic). However Jesus had a beard because the Law says, “'Do not cut the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the edges of your beard.” (Leviticus 19:27) and Jesus being a Son of David (Romans 1:1-9) would have blended in. The Bible, not a fad, says that it's a shame for a man to have long hair (except for the Nazarite vow, which is an exception). I can't speak for others, but I said nothing about Jesus not having a beard. 1 Cor. 11:14-16 (KJV) 14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? 15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering. 16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God. Paul, inspired by the Holy Spirit, and in his apostolic authority, reminds the Corinthians that even nature teaches that men should have short hair and that long hair is a shame. In other words, God's natural order is that women have long hair and men have short hair. If anyone wants to be contentious about this, then he should know that the apostles had no such custom as the contentious person (i.e. the one arguing against men having short hair and/or women having long hair). In the sculptures of the catacombs, the women have close-fitting head dresses, while the men have short hair. There will always be the odd rebellious person (male or female) who wants to go against God's natural order, but at least he is showing his heart in what he does, so that others can discern.

Well if Jesus has no long hair upon His Return, I’ll be ok with that. But I think in the time of Christ, long hair was common. I’ll find some sources, give me some time. I cited the Nazarite Vow, which requires long hair. As for Paul’s statement on long hair, that is something to consider. The question is was this for all churches or just that church? Like when he said “women cannot teach,” (pythonesses, 1 Timothy 2:12) but praises women ministers like Phoebe (Romans 6:1) elsewhere.

None of us were there two thousand years ago. Some Jewish men including the priests during those days were their beards and hair long. Some did not. You're making an incorrect assumption. I'm sorry, but this is surmising. The Apostle Paul was a citizen of Rome and the Romans typically did wear their hair short and were by majority clean shaven. These were the styles for each cultures at this time during historical account. You need to read this scripture in correct context here. 1 Corinthians 11:14 14Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? Notice, this is his opinion and NOT an ordinance from the Holy Ghost? You are out of order on this. You should know the difference between NATURE ITSELF TEACH YOU as to GOD HIMSELF TELL YOU etc., etc.? Again, you're totally taking that passage out of the context of correctness. Sorry, you are wrong on that. Erroneous call, dear brother. P.S. And have a nice day! Edited July 20, 2020 by BeauJangles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's not likely he wore Rasta Dreads. It is possible he just may have worn payots or peyos. By the way, I personally know a Messianic Rabbi here in our city who wears his hair long in a braid in back and peyots or peyos as they are known.

Whether or not it was common (it certainly wasn't amongst the Romans, or the Christians in the catacombs) is irrelevant, since it is God's created order and that is what matters. Quote I cited the Nazarite Vow, which requires long hair. And I've already agreed that that was an exception (almost always temporary, except Samson, and the hair was cut off at the end of it). Quote As for Paul’s statement on long hair, that is something to consider. Well, that's big of you. Hey, Paul, Fidei Defensor thinks that your Holy Spirit-inspired statement, in apostolic authority, declaring God's created order, is "something to consider"! Quote The question is was this for all churches or just that church? Like when he said “women cannot teach,” (pythonesses, 1 Timothy 2:12) but praises women ministers like Phoebe (Romans 6:1) elsewhere. God's created order is for everyone, obviously. There are only the exceptions of the vow of the Nazarite and medical conditions. Regarding women and teaching, this is a larger subject; but I'll briefly touch on it here. 1 Tim. 2:12-14 (Darby) 12 but I do not suffer a woman to teach nor to exercise authority over man, but to be in quietness; 13 for Adam was formed first, then Eve: 14 and Adam was not deceived; but the woman, having been deceived, was in transgression. Paul gives two reasons why women are not to teach or exercise authority over man (in the assemblies). 1) Adam was formed first and Eve was made as a helper for him. - a matter of authority 2) Adam was not deceived but Eve was. - a matter of a tendency to being deceived These reasons clearly apply universally. Titus 2:3-5 (ESV) 3 Older women likewise are to be reverent in behaviour, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, 4 and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, 5 to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled. Older women are, however, to train the younger ones in those things pertaining to a woman's role. This will, of necessity, involve teaching about a woman's role.

Certain sects in India such as Sadhu holy men and Sikh militia do not cut their hair, back to ancient Phoenicians, Philistines, going up in time a bit, the Gauls, Vikings, over here in America, our native tribes, well then let's see. I guess that takes out the ducks in your shooting gallery one by one pretty well there. Do you have any more examples but for Romans or Greeks, which many Christians were from? I believe Paul ministered to them also. Looks like you're out of ammo already, Dave. No points scored on this one for you. 50 minutes ago, David1701 said: And I've already agreed that that was an exception (almost always temporary, except Samson, and the hair was cut off at the end of it). Just because Delilah cut off Samson's hair doesn't mean he didn't fully intend to keep it. You don't think so? Well, you'd be wrong again on that also. Many Nazarites vow for life, not like young Buddhist boy priests who serve one or more years head shaved and go back to secular life. Where do you get these misnomers from? Oh, well.

Nevermind all that right now, we'll get to it. Here's some other information. You need to understand the historical opinions of Paul also as a native Roman citizen and his personal style. Or at least you should try to understand. This scripture is not a commandment from the Holy Ghost and you need to fully realize this. Taking things out of context is common. 1 Corinthians 11:14 KJV 14Doth not even nature itself * (NOT GOD) teach you, teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?

Hairstyle - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hairstyle In Western countries in the 1960s, both young men and young women wore their hair long and natural, and since then it has become more common for men to grow their hair. During most period in human history when men and women wore similar hairstyles (length) as in the 1920s and 1960s, it has generated significant social concern and approbation. 52 minutes ago, David1701 said: Regarding women and teaching, this is a larger subject; but I'll briefly touch on it here.
