Uhhh because the bible is a mish mash of different literature with little cross reference. Even though at 384 Ad they decided the bible was only going to be made up out of 4 of about 400 different scrolls going around in Rome at the time (supposedly all being the true word of the lord) they couldnt make those 4 out of 400 books congruent with each other.

Jesus never existed. The writings and culture of Yoshua ("the liberator" in Aramaic) was spawned by the use of psychotropic drugs. In other words "jesus was a mushroom"

lol, wow you found a completely senseless quote from the Bible that must have taken all of 30 seconds.

I love that it's "the nature of things" that teaches us. What nature? Like babies are going around discriminating against long-haired men. It's not natural it's taught - by things like the Bible.

Holy crap I hate that freakin' book sometimes. For every 1 good lesson there's 18 pieces of bs like this.

What makes you think Jesus had long hair, the pictures that man thought up ?

I'm almost sure that during the time he spent travling fram place to place , he was well groomed . He is a King , ya know .

Though , after he was imprisoned , more than likely , there wouldn't have been anybody available to trim his hair or even bath him .

Do you see what I am getting at ?

Everything that he needed was made available to him .

Just do what you're told.

Who says that Jesus had long hair?

I must say that I thought this to be a Hadrian debate.

The most likely answer is simply that Jesus contradicts the bible. It's not surprising since he wasn't the son of god, but just a man, if he existed.

How do you know that Jesus had long hair? --------------------------

My children what am I going to do with you? You fight amongst yourselves, for what? My son had mid length not long hair. Long hair is down to the waist. There is no contradictions in my words, only disbelievers.

well, Jesus's hair was not long... like, down to his shoulders. He had a "hair of wool", so if he really did grow it out it would have been more like a Jew fro.

What about the story of Samson? He was told never to cut his hair.

Yeah, that doesn't make sense, does it? haha. At first I was going to say that the Bible never actually says Jesus had long hair, but I heard just now that some historical documents may say that. If that's the case, then that does seem to be a contradiction. But you should probably verify that Jesus actually did have long hair, because I don't have a historical source, and the Bible never actually says his hair was long.

As far as I understand, this verse has to do with the culture of the New Testament times. And I think I've read "nature" translated as "your natures", which I suppose would mean that the culture of that time would support this whole hair rule.

See, from what I can gather(Although I have read this passage a while back, I looked it up on Biblegateway so I could know what I was talking about), this passage is establishing a role of woman as being somewhat under man, which of course I cannot agree with. It doesn't make woman a totally useless entity, since it goes on to say that neither sex is independent of the other, and that man comes from woman now, just as woman came from man(in the creation story). But it does still seem like this and other passages in the Bible say that woman is to be submitted to man, although not to the extent that many people have taken it. I'm not saying I agree with the amount of misogyny in there of course, just that the NT does seem to acknowledge that women are people, even if they are considered people who are to be under the authority of men. Bottom line: This passage, as far as I can tell, is one of several that shows misogyny in the Bible, but it should be acknowledged that the NT is not AS misogynistic as it has been taken to be. Sorry, that was kind of a little feminist tangent. ;]

It never says Jesus had long hair. Its just something people came up with

Ridiculous argument particularly if your trying to use it to say the Bible is a " bad book." Also I just looked it up it does not say that the churches had such a practice rather that they had no such practice, meaning that it matters not.

Hahaha you honestly are putting this on a debate site? Samson had long hair, it never "contradicts" men with long hair.

The bible's full of contradictions and lies, this is just one of the more minor ones. Still though, gave me a chuckle.

Let me just say this the bible is not full of crap neither is it fictional humans believe that because we are sinners. The bible is 100% true therefore It cannot contradict itself. The reason you people think the bible contradicts its self is because you have never thoroughly studied it. The bible is like a complex puzzle when put together becomes clear.

Now with the case of Jesus having long hair That cannot be proven we don't know what kind of hair he had. Even if his hair went up to his shoulders the bible does not specify how long "short" is. People just cut it really short to be safe "better to be safe than sorry". of course there is also common sense "we cant just say that hair going down to our hips is short".

Now Samsung of course is an exception to this rule since its his covenant with god. To put it simply god and Samsung's mother made a deal in which if god gave her a son (With superhuman strength) then he couldn't have his hair cut. for example its like with privateers they were special pirates who were authorized by a government by letters of marque to attack and plunder foreign shipping during wartime.

I one of the comments I believe there was a misguided person who wrote that Jesus was a feeble man. That is not biblical it comes from satanism. Yes Jesus was poor but not feeble, normal. how dare you say that about the son of god well to be exact he is god, part of god since god is made up of three entities the father, the son, and the holy spirit.

Lastly the guy that compares the bible to a fairytale here is evidence and prophecies that have come true that proves the bible exists. Go here: http://amazingdiscoveries.tv/

here is the order I recommend you follow:

1)science section (especially if you believe in evolution)

2)total onslaught

3)rekindling the reformation

if you choose to watch the videos or not its not my problem. but I do not like when someone judges something without having the facts. haven't you ever heard the saying "never judge a book by its cover" and that goes to you people who say that they will go to hell. We have no right of judging them either since we are all sinners.

Also THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS HELL that is something the roman catholic church made up. They mainly got that from greek mythology hades and from misinterpreting some parts of the bible.

once you die you die and when Christ comes he will revive all those who died and judge everyone dead and alive. there also is no afterlife or reincarnation that is all spiritism. as the saying goes "dead men tell no tales". and if you are asking "what about ghosts" and "my dead grandma who talked to me last weekend" they are all just demons masquerading as people we know. hello there are angels and demons in another dimension that we cannot see but they can see us and know everything we have done. don't forget satan is the master of deception.

Where in the bible does it say that Jesus had long hair? If there is a passage or some hint to it, I've never seen it. Care to show me the passage?

The image of Jesus we know was just Michelangelo's depiction of him.

"But their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened" Tell me, When you bash the Scripture and those whom follow it, wouldn't the quote above apply to you?
