Jesus and long hair

[rafter]

Yod said, Really though....what difference does it make?

It does not make any difference to me. In my original post I made it clear it was just a question. I was just curious and was not trying to stir up a debate. And I did post it in the general discussion forum. I think general discussion is just that.......

1 Cor 11:14-16

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.

(KJV)

So if Paul and The Church have no customs pretaining to hair length why should we?

I have a picture of Christ that shows He had hair just a bit longer than shoulder length.

Here is something interesting, I wonder how long Jesus's hair was when He appeared to John in Revelation chapter 1? verse 14 says, "His head and his hairs were white like wool,as white as snow...." He might have had a white afro at that time,but of course,I don't know if it was long or not.

I really hope God doesn't get me for laughing at that. It just struck me as so funny...

I professor I had in college said that most likely Jesus had short hair because long hair was typical for wealthy men, and Jesus was a carpenter, not a wealthy man. Wealthy men probably had more means to keep long hair cleaner.

Uho, no WOF teachings need to start!!! :x:

Excuse my ignorance here...what in the world is WOF?

how long is long..... good point.....

what is long to me, might be short to you, or vice verse..... compared to my wifes hair length, mine is short...... compared to our pastors, my hair is long.... compared to one of my sons, mine is short, and to the other sons it is long... compared to my daughters hair when i first met her, my hair was long, and now it is short and i have not cut my hair since i met her....

it is a relitive question..... I would have to agree that a man is to look like a man, and a woman is to look like a woman..... if a woman has so short a hair style, that she looks like a man, she may need to concider growing it out enough that she can at least have the appearance of being a woman.... if a mans hair is such that he is looking like a woman, then it is time to cut it and gain the appearance of a man...

there is no mistake that I am a male, yes, i have longer hair then what some would concider "proper" for a male to have, but there is no mistake that i am male, there is a lady i know, that when I first seen her, I thought she was a man, she dont wear a dress, she wears pants, she has almost a burr type hair cut, unfortunatly, there are others that may see her as not being female gender.....

men need to look like men, women need to look like women..... no if's, and's or but's about it.......

sorry not trying to hi-jack the thread...but...this reminds of a joke....

A teenager went up to his dad and asked if he could use the car that night...the father said no you can't I'm busy tonight...the son said you always say that when am I gonna be able to use the car....the father thought for a second and said I tell you what I'll let you use the car if 1. you start working hard on your grades. 2. you go to church with me and your mom every sunday. 3. and get that hair of yours cut! Well really wanting the use the car the son agreed..........6 weeks later the son came up to his dad and said well I aced my last few tests and I have been going to church with you every sunday...now can I use the car...the father said you haven't got you hair cut son. Well the son thinking he had his dad on this one said...but dad Jesus had long hair. To which the father replied while pocketing the keys to the car...Yeah you may right...but Jesus walked everywhere he went to.

Ok back to the subject...I just thought this was a good one.

Love and Blessings,

Angel
