Vincent Vega Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 [quote name='Luthien' post='1768891' date='Feb 1 2009, 09:05 PM'] My husband has not cut his hair since August 2007...I gave up trying to get him to cut it a long time ago. I agree that it has little or no relevance. [/quote] I always forget you're a gal. Mine is long - I wear it with bangs that go to the side and little swoopies on the side. It's getting a bit too long; it almost touches my shoulders when it's wet. I need to get it cut. I like my hair, though. I'll probably wear it long through most of my early college years, and get it cut by the time I go off to med school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madame Vengier Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I was hoping someone would post those passages b/c I'm not familiar with this issue at all. But I do know that Jewish men in the ancient cultures had long hair. Our Lord had long hair, we know this not only from facts of history (He being a devote Jew and all) but also from the Shroud of Turin and the Veil of Veronica. I read that, in keeping with the customs of Jewish men of the day, he would have worn his beard slightly parted in the middle and part of his hair braided in the back. Wish I could remember where I read that but it was in some research I did on the Shroud. As for today's world, I don't think one's hair has anything to do with spirituality and personally I think many men look awesome with long hair.

Apotheoun Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 (edited) In the Old Testament the Nazarites (i.e., those men who were consecrated to the Lord) were not supposed to cut their hair. Edited February 2, 2009 by Apotheoun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 Found the scripture: it is 1 Corinithians 11:14. Just wanted to make it clear that I'm not prescribing anything for anyone!

CrossCuT Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 [size=1]I like the hockey hair! I like the way it looks when a hat has been on their head all day! The little curl at the ends! Yuppers. [/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnydigit Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 [quote name='dauntingknight' post='1769006' date='Feb 1 2009, 07:32 PM']Jesus had long hair.[/quote] "and when you can walk on water, you can grow your hair long, son!" we can look to the Saints for the answer i think, specifically the priests, nuns, and religious brothers and sisters, who we are blessed to have as our holy examples.. some priests have really long hair, some don't. some nuns chop their hair when they join, some don't. some Franciscans shave their heads for many reasons: to not allow a source of vanity (worrying about how it may look), to be more simple (one less thing to cut/style), penance (cold), a sacrifice for God, a testament to faith for the world to see, etc. so it depends on you. is it a possible obstacle to being the best person you can be, a holy child of God, a holy Saint that shines for the world to see? for some yes, for some, no.

picchick Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 (edited) I really don't think that God is going to judge you going to heaven or not based on how you wear your hair. I think He has bigger fish to fry. Fish to fry...GET IT? Lent! Edited February 2, 2009 by picchick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
