No reactive answers here, I'm serious: should older Christians with graying hair color their hair, or is this going against what the Bible says in Proverbs 16, "Gray hair is a crown of splendor; it is attained by a righteous life." The Bible shows that graying hair is something to be glad to obtain in life, not something to mask.
Further, is the believer exercising true humility in altering or covering over something that is a natural part of life? Generally an older person with dyed hair is very obvious, so is this setting a proper example for younger people of the virtue of humility? (in accordance with numerous Biblical examples, such as Paul's letter to Timothy, in which he instructs older men to set Godly examples for the young men)
If gray hair is a sign of a righteous life, why would this be covered with dyes?
I'd love some serious answers here.
