Did Jesus "really" have long hair?

I was skimming through the previous posts on this thread and was thinking the same thing about woman and long hair In 1 Cor, it is talking about woman having a covering.. not something on their heads.. i wish i coudl go into more detail about that also.

However, I must add something. A few mentioned about the bible says that a woman is to be silent in church. In 1 Cor, the bible is saying that women are supposed to learn in silence.. that they are not to assurp authority over the man.. It is saying in this passage that women are not supposed to preach. That doesn't mean that they don't say anything at church.. the bible itself says that we are supposed to have Christian fellowship..right?

Someone also asked if men having long hair was a sin... well.. if the bible says that something is shameful.. that it is not right to have it.. does it make it wrong?

To respond one more time to the original question of this thread.. Jesus woudlnt' have long hair becuase God said(through Paul) that it was shameful.

I have been talking to other people on this topic and i have had a series of answers. However, there is one that i can't help but wonder about how to answer. A friend of mine asked me how I can say that it is wrong formen to have long hair when men of the bible have long hair. "We are to follow the example of the bible".. he said that Samson had long hair and he went on as to how it was his strength by God...in other words... Why would God tell a man of the bible to have long hair if it is shameful.

Personally...as said before.. i believe it is wrong for a man to have long hair.. but i am just dumbfounded as to the answer of that question.. any ideas?

Samson was under a Nazarite vow. He was under different circumstances. My wife has not cut her hair in about 23 years (she cut a little in the front when she was 4 years old).

If I remember correctly, the part about a woman not speaking in church is because back in the NT times, when the Jews had "church", the men in the group would speak up and ask questions out load. The women where to be silent and ask there husbands at home. If I got that wrong in any way I am sorry, I am going from memory and don't remember where I learned that.

I am amazed at the question to begin with. Does the length of Christ's hair have any impact on what He did for us? If not, then the question is irrelavant.

No, Jesus' hair wasn't long...if fact, He probably wasn't even white either!!!

The length of Christ's hair has nothing to do with the gift He gave to us. However, ask yourself why Paul felt a need to include this in his teaching's to the Corinthians?

What do you suppose Paul is trying to get across to us?

It is my belief that there are no empty words or verses in the bible. There's a reason for everything that is written. If there wasn't, it wouldn't be there.

Those are just my belief's.

Anyway, Y'all have a good one.

Hey Joe, that does sound about right.. i was thinking the same thing but i just couldn't remember the entire thing. All i could remember was "women were supposed to go home and ask their husbands"...

All these "attributes" of Jesus are really imprtant as Owl said. I mean, you think about it. Many argue wether or not Jesus had wine(as in alcoholic wine). I believe that the wine he drank wasn't firmented(alcoholic) because the bible, even in the OT, talks against wine and strong drink. Why would Jesus go against the bible.. ? He wouldn't.

This discussion also matters in another sense becuase we are supposed to follow the Lord's teaching and use him as an example to how we are supposed to act.. right? We "follow the Lord in believer's baptism". Many like to say the "Lord's prayer" all the time and we take of the Last Supper.

These points might be really off the wall, but that is how I feel. As Owl said, There are no empty words or verses in the bible. There's a reason for everything that is written. If there wasn't, it wouldn't be there."
