The bible has verses referring to a womens, and mans hair. Do you follow?

Question

A women is told that her hair is her covering, and her glory.

It is also said that is it is shame for a man to have long hair.

Do you follow this? Why or why not?

I have long hair, my husband has short. We believe what God says about a women and her glory, and a man having his head uncovered.

No where in the bible does it say Jesus had long hair. He did NOT have long hair.

Also, the legalism thing. The bible has things in it that mould us into what we should be. How is following EVERYTHING in the bible, even that which makes us uncomfortable at first, wrong?

Again, Jesus didnt have long hair. The pictures of him with long hair are blasphemous. God wrote the bible though the men that penned it. Their own traditions dont come through. It is 100 percent what God wanted it to say.

Answer 1

! Corinthians Chapters 11 and 14 speak of this. When a woman is praying she ought to have power on her head because of the angels. The angels are deeply concerned with order. As we read chaper 14 we see that the need for a woman's head covering whether praying or prophesying is is not a matter of submission, but of order. It is therefore not, as some say a matter of taste, or culture; but of order
And if Jesus took the Nararite vow, He would not have cut His hair.

Answer 2

The catholic church covers and controls, how many kings throughout history have changed the bible to say what they wanted it to? There are certain things in the bible that are okay to obey, but organized religion isn't something I'd follow too closely. The pictures of Jesus really aren't real because he wasn't white either, they're not a blasphamy. Some artist painted a picture some years ago and some king somewhere liked it and it flew from there because he said so...there you go another king making things happen his way....

Answer 3

That is legalism in it's fullest!

*** OK, maybe just being that blunt wasn't a good answer. I'm sure you are referring to I Cor. 11, right?
In talking about head coverings and length of hair, Paul is saying that believers should look and behave in ways that are honorable within their own culture (key words: within their own culture). In many cultures, long hair on men is considered appropriate and masculine. In Cornith, it was thought to be a sign of male prostitution in the pagan temples. And women with short hair were labeled prostitutes (by their culture). Paul was saying than in the Corinthian culture, Chritian women should (should, not must) keep their hair long. If short hair on women was a sign of prostitution, then a Christian woman with short hair would find it even more difficult to be a believeable witness for Jesus Christ. Paul was not saying we should adopt all the practices of our culture, but that we should avoid appearences and behavior that detract from our ultimate goal of being believable witnesses for Jesus Christ while demonstrating our Christian faith.

Answer 4

There is no "Original text of the Bible". Every religion starting with the Roman Catholics started to take certain codices of the Word and those priests Canonized them as being the true word from God. How can that be when MAN did the selecting and choosing of which were the official "Word of God" and the rest was garbage. MAN cannot make that decision and I don't care what kind of "funny hat" he wears. My philosophy is Kindness

Answer 5

Your right the paintings of Jesus are blasphemous, but not because of his hair do. Considering the part of the world Jesus was born, he surely wasn't white. He would have been black or middle-eastern.

And no where does it say he didn't have short hair either.

Answer 6

I think that there were times when Paul was falling into the traditions that he was brought up with. Jesus didn't seem to have a problem with long hair.

Answer 7

it said its a shame, not a sin, there is a difference.....but i think overall it means that women who are christians should look like women, and men who are christians should look like men.

its part of the witness we present to others

No one alive now has ever seen Jesus. So the pictures we see are from man's imagination.

Answer 8

Hi Sweetie,

I really do not think God cares what hair style you sport so long as you are true to your beliefs and with him, thats all that is important.

God loves all of his children no matter what or who they are. Or how they look.

Answer 9

It was also forbidden for a Jew that took the "Vow of the Nazerine" to cut their hair. Samson, Samuel, and John the Baptist were examples of those types.

Answer 10

1 Corinthians 11:6 KJV: For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.
The status of women in Islam is often the target of attacks in the secular media. The ‘hijaab’ or the Islamic dress is cited by many as an example of the ‘subjugation’ of women under Islamic law. Before we analyze the reasoning behind the religiously mandated ‘hijaab’, let us first study the status of women in societies before the advent of Islam
In the past women were degraded and used as objects of lust
The following examples from history amply illustrate the fact that the status of women in earlier civilizations was very low to the extent that they were denied basic human dignity:
Babylonian Civilization:
The women were degraded and were denied all rights under the Babylonian law. If a man murdered a woman, instead of him being punished, his wife was put to death.
Greek Civilization: Greek Civilization is considered the most glorious of all ancient civilizations. Under this very ‘glorious’ system, women were deprived of all rights and were looked down upon. In Greek mythology, an ‘imaginary woman’ called ‘Pandora’ is the root cause of misfortune of human beings. The Greeks considered women to be subhuman and inferior to men. Though chastity of women was precious, and women were held in high esteem, the Greeks were later overwhelmed by ego and sexual perversions. Prostitution became a regular practice amongst all classes of Greek society.
Roman Civilization: When Roman Civilization was at the zenith of its ‘glory’, a man even had the right to take the life of his wife. Prostitution and nudity were common amongst the Romans.
Egyptian Civilization: The Egyptian considered women evil and as a sign of a devil.
Pre-Islamic Arabia: Before Islam spread in Arabia, the Arabs looked down upon women and very often when a female child was born, she was buried alive.
2. Islam uplifted women and gave them equality and expects them to maintain their status.
Islam uplifted the status of women and granted them their just rights 1400 years ago. Islam expects women to maintain their status.
Hijaab for men. People usually only discuss ‘hijaab’ in the context of women. However, in the Glorious Qur’an, Allah (swt) first mentions ‘hijaab’ for men before ‘hijaab’ for the women. The Qur’an mentions in Surah Noor: "Say to the believing men that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty: that will make for greater purity for them: and Allah is well acquainted with all that they do." [Al-Qur’an 24:30]
The moment a man looks at a woman and if any brazen or unashamed thought comes to his mind, he should lower his gaze.
Hijaab for women. The next verse of Surah Noor, says: " And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof; that they should draw veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands’ fathers, their sons..." [Al-Qur’an 24:31]
3. Six criteria for Hijaab. According to Qur’an and Sunnah there are basically six criteria for observing hijaab:
Extent: The first criterion is the extent of the body that should be covered. This is different for men and women. The extent of covering obligatory on the male is to cover the body at least from the navel to the knees. For women, the extent of covering obligatory is to cover the complete body except the face and the hands upto the wrist. If they wish to, they can cover even these parts of the body. Some scholars of Islam insist that the face and the hands are part of the obligatory extent of ‘hijaab’.
All the remaining five criteria are the same for men and women.
The clothes worn should be loose and should not reveal the figure.
The clothes worn should not be transparent such that one can see through them.
The clothes worn should not be so glamorous as to attract the opposite sex.
The clothes worn should not resemble that of the opposite sex.
The clothes worn should not resemble that of the unbelievers i.e. they should not wear clothes that are specifically identities or symbols of the unbelievers’ religions.
