Kicked Out Of Christian School

His hair was no longer than mine, shaving you locks isn't the same as a haircut, it was a custom of the Babylonian priests to shave their heads on the order of today's Monks..

Have a look see at Hislop's book my friend "The Two Babylons"

he shaved., no razor shall come upon his head. a 40 years of growth. how long is that?

and this
Women and slaves, who did not have full rights before the religious law, could take the Nazarite vow, but only with the consent of their husbands or owners, while the vow was not valid among the heathen (Naz. iv. 1-5, ix. 1, et passim). Fathers were allowed to dedicate minors, but mothers were forbidden to do so (ib. iv. 29b). The proper name "Nazira" may be connected with some such custom (Gen. R. lxxxii. end, et passim). Jesus is said to have been dedicated while still in the womb (Luke i. 15). Tradition regards not only Samson and Samuel, but also Absalom, as Nazarites, the last on account of his long hair (Naz. 4b). The duration of Nazariteship was voluntary, and ranged from one hour to a lifetime. In the former case, however, it really lasted for thirty days, which was also the period when no definite time was set (ib. i. 3; Sifre, Deut. 357). While the usual time was thirty days, two or more additional vows were generally taken, in which case each period was regarded as a separate Nazariteship, to be immediately followed, when duly completed, by the succeeding one (Maimonides, "Yad," Nezirut, iii. 6). The period was at times measured by the number of days of the solar or the lunar year (Naz. i., end; Yer. Naz. 54b); or one might say: "Let the number of my Nazariteships be as the hairs of my head, or as the dust-particles of the earth, or as the sands of the sea" (Naz. i. 4). A Nazarite for life might cut his too abundant hair once a year, but a Samson Nazarite might not cut his hair under any circumstances, although he might defile himself by touching a corpse (ib. 4a). While no comb was allowed to touch the hair, it might be cleansed and arranged by other means (ib. vi., end). A proverb says, "Let the Nazarite go around the vineyard, but let him not approach it" (Shab. 13a and parallels; Num. R. x.).

I have blades, I can cut with a one to 4, but its still a razor. if you want to argue that shaving is only the term used with razors, then be my guest. how long is your hair?

http://www.enduringword.com/commentaries/0406.htm

this also agrees with my position. I don't have to have short hair. im cheap on this stuff. so I shave my own head.
 
Ah! i cut my own as well high and tight and i shave, Jesus was a Nazarene his hair wasn't long these pictures of him with those long locks are a mockery, else why would He say:

I Corinthians 11:14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?

That was the custom of that region at that time. Paul was talking about their customs. I myself shave my hair on my head all off. And I just decided to grow a beard 3 months ago.
 
What's this talk of customs of the region, does that mean Gods word effects you differently according to longitude and latitude does that coincide with no universal flood depending on where you lived, are you saying Jesus had long hair or am i missing something...

Thanks..

lol. dude. messianic jews picture jesus with a beard, kippah and long hair. Chassidic rabbis have long hair and some don't. they also teach at times women should wear their version of the hijab. which I have seen pics of amongst the haredem. I have short hair. when Im in the army it cant be longer then 3 inches. that has been reg since before I was born.most of the army regs that are of lore are based on the Christian judeo worldview.

nazerene and nazarite aren't the same. the city of Nazareth didn't exist when numbers was written.
 
Scottish men wearing those kilts has always bugged me.
the irish where those too and they wore them first and I would hardly call the celtic culture effimate
 
O.k. did Jesus have long hair "Yes" or "No"

Thanks..

What is the point of this discussion? The Bible doesn't say whether or not Jesus had long hair and we would do well to not presume one way or the other. And we should especially avoid making any doctrine around such presumption.

I was going to go there. I believe God did that for a reason. the bible was written to men of their time when it was written. if we take a look at the torah. what exact was the garb of male and female then? if we take that approach literally then we should all be dressing like that. God knows that man would change and be different in his views of what is manly. we have to take in the use of oral law here and go from there.like divorce. what was the reasons moses listed for divorce? none. so until jesus came and said this is it. there wasn't a solid reason. rabbis/ priest had to decide
 
the silliness never ends...
how long is long
Are muslem men more spiritaul then Christian men becasue many of them wear robes...
The scriptures flat out say Mar_6:9 But be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats.
guess boots or Nikes are out of the question.
 
The bible has the answer to all of life's questions Free Jesus had short hair else why would He turn around and say this..

I Corinthians 11:14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?

If it doesn't have the answers man so desperately needs where is man to turn "science"

Romans 10:11
For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.”

We're set free from shame

Firstly, no, the Bible does not have all the answers all of life's questions. It gives us basic guidelines and we are to use reason for many things based on these guidelines. Secondly, as for your quote of 1 Corinthians, how does nature teach us that "if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?" Can you explain what that means? Thirdly, there is nothing prescriptive in what is being said here; there is no command for men to have short hair. Fourthly, it is a significant error on your part in going beyond Scripture to use this verse to teach that Jesus had short hair. The Bible doesn't say whether or not he had short hair and we would do well to not go beyond Scripture.
 
Gods word says it is a shame for a man to have long hair Jesus didn't have long hair look back at the busts of men during that period.. In the history books I've seen long hair its associated with the barbaric tribes.. Samson as well.. he was told do not "shave your head" Women wear their hair long its biblical

TOB The question is still what is long? Example what is long to the Marine Sargent may not be long to Student. If a guy has marine short hair and is proud of it that would be a sin correct?
 
is that a roman or Jew?

Personally i like the guys hair cut from the 50s
