Great teaching thank you for including us women of color in your teaching my hair is mid-back but because it's so extremely curly and coily it appears shoulder length
You forget that the Bible also enacted the nazarite laws.
That was before the fulfillment of scripture and was a forrbidance before the coming of Christ
@@anselp8796 Not true. The apostle Paul performed a Nazarite vow.
Great Message brother
God bless you brother
Excellent teaching thank you.
God bless you sir

1. Isn't Paul talking about headship? 2. What is considered long by scripture and what is considered short ?
The biggest flaw about this video is he never exactly describes the context of this statement‼️‼️Throughout the Bible GOD tells certain people things (only for them to follow, gives laws, tells story’s where followers learns lessons and etc… but he didn’t tell any context and repeated the same line over and over💯💯
May I Ask, what is thé limit of thé length to which a man should let his haïr grow? For example, Is an Afro for an African man too long
What does the scripture says about coloring your hair?
First we have to look at the phrase 'does not even nature itself teach you' it doesn't say look towards God look towards Jesus, nor the apostles or Prophets, the phrase is 'does not even nature itself teach you'. Were in the bible except here say we must adhere to the rule of nature, and in nature all I see is long hair. I have to say Samson let his hair grow because he was in a lifelong covenant with God to represent his people. Does the New Testament forbid anyone from making a covenant with God? Apostle Gino Jennings says that his abilities were given from God has he made a covenant with God to preach the word to all his thousands of followers. How many men in his church suffer from hair loss, so therefore they cut their hair down to the skin. Is wearing long hair a form of vanity, and if so why do you shave your faces and shave your hair real slick like, isn't that a form of vanity also? It shouldn't matter what you wear or how you look as long as you don't cause your brother or sister to sin.
Its a question, not a commandment
Please explain leviticus 19:27 🙏
You explained what long hair means for women but didn’t specify what constitutes short hair for men.
Didn’t God tell Samson to never cut his hair and he would remain the strongest‼️‼️So explain how God gives someone SUPER HUMAN abilities and then tells everyone else not to do that🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
Where did it say long hair means uncut hair?
that's one rule i have no problem with disobeying.
I have a question? What about kids with long hair is that dis honoring to God. Would they get a hair cut? Thank you.
We should train our children to follow the word of God as well.
My mother has had short hair her entire life. She probably can't grow her hair long now even if she wanted to. Is she condemned for it?
African sisters often can’t grow their hair long like American or European or Asian sisters can, but they simply don’t cut it. It should be left uncut and untrimmed for sisters. As far as being condemned to hell? Well, God is the ultimate judge. However if you know to do what’s right and you don’t do it then it is iniquity. But cutting the hair we can say with confidence is a sin against God’s Word.
how long is too long hair for men, especially men with curly hair like me? and what if long hair causes a woman problems?
Obey the word regardless of problems. Many problems can arise from obedience to the word we count it as a blessing to be persecuted for the sake of righteousness.
Bangs in the eyes on a man is effeminate and hair that is growing to the shoulders is too long.
So, you are going to go to hell if a man has long hair and a woman short? Don't you think God has better things to do like focusing on pedophiles, children who are beaten/murdered, and the disabled who are mistreated? Btw, doesn't the bible forbid men from shaving or cutting their beards?
It isn't about what I think or what you think. It is about what God said. God is omniscient, he can be concerned about pedophiles and abused children and the mistreated as well as a standard of modesty and holiness. God has no problem focusing on millions of things at once, he doesn't have any mental deficiencies and is incapable of losing focus. No, the Bible doesn't forbid men from shaving or cutting their beards.
As a guy my hair is so curly it just gets big poofy curls, so I get a "Jew fro" .
That's ok, just keep it from becoming long.
you should join Grand Funk Railroad and play the drums for them
So what counts as long hair on a man?
If it goes past the shoulders, sometimes it might even look feminine at the neck/collar bone, but the hard rule should be around the shoulders.
What about the nazarites ?
How come Samson and Jesus had long hair if it’s unscriptural?
Samson was born and commanded to be a nazirite for life. Jesus did not have long hair. That is a myth from the Middle Ages viewpoint that aristocratic men should have longer hair.
@@JasonDeMars How Can we assure ourselves that Jésus didnt have long haïr?
If a guy has curly hair naturally is that a sin because typically women have curly hair. It's not like I intentionally made my hair grow very curly as a guy. I've always had very curly hair.
Not a sin at all.
There are no split infinitives in the Holy King James Bible. What thinketh the Lord about that kind of violation? If you go back to the original Holy Hebrew, Angelic Aramaic, and Gospel Greek, you'll find the same rule across the board. Ἀνὴρ μὲν γὰρ οὐκ ὀφείλει κατακαλύπτεσθαι τὴν κεφαλήν, εἰκὼν καὶ δόξα θεοῦ ὑπάρχων: ἡ γυνὴ δὲ δόξα ἀνδρός ἐστιν (1 Corinthians 11:7).
excuse me sir but that would mean to not groom at all, I don't think you have the right interpretation of the scripture. and why aren't you bald right now? i though you said a man's head shouldn't be covered
Your attitude and approach to the Bible lacks faith. Repent and believe the Word.
@@JasonDeMars with all due respect, I believe he has a point about why men aren’t bald so can you please answer as to why we have ministers, pastors and even deacons that aren’t bald.
@@Laughydon 1Co 11:14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?
1Co 11:15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.
Long hair in Greek is Komao and it means to let the hair grow. It is speaking of uncut hair. A man is to cut his hair and a woman is not to cut her hair. Your idea of baldness vs long hair is false. Paul is making a point about cut hair vs uncut hair.
@@JasonDeMars so your basically saying a man’s hair should be at a certain length but not long?
The lord told moses to tell the children of Israel about the Nazarene vow and we r told they were 12 man and the law states that they must not cut they hair .. hundreds of if not thousand yrs b4 paul
I studied sociology and theology The Roman’s invented skirts and did you know mens hair was not cut short until the 20th century the renesauxne men wore wigs still lice is to blame for hair loss. In men
Thank you for your comments. They don't really have any application to the Scriptural teaching that has been brought forth.
The old testament says so, but Yeshua came to change certain things... and one of them is, Judge not, because what you are judging is what you see outside, God judges the heart, not appearance. So if you man has long hair, thank God for every long strand of it. Most people that judge other men because of his long hair, is because the judger is bald.
This is a New Testament teaching from the apostle Paul and what you say has literally zero biblical merit. God looks at the heart so feel free to do whatever you like??! Is that your doctrine? It's very much false. God calls us to be holy because he is holy.
I agree that long hair is unscriptural, but should we view as sin, and the sin too keep you out of heaven?
What is sin? Sin is unbelief. Unbelief in what? Unbelief in the Word of God. The commands of God in Scripture ARE the Word of God so if you don't believe the Word and therefore don't obey the Word then what is it other than sin? Whatever is not of faith IS sin!
@JasonDeMars Brother, thank you for that response. I have this conversation a lot, how you do you reconcile the notion of Samson and his "long" hair?
@@vincenth.8793 he was an exception. He was told to be under a permanent nazirite vow. Most nazirite vows were down for 30 days.
Women are supposed to cover their hair when praying and prophesying. Jewish women cover their hair for a reason. To my understanding women should be covering their hair too per 1 Corinthians 11:5-6; 10;13
1 Corinthians 11:15 says her hair is given her for a covering. How can you explain the need for an external covering when the apostle Paul says her hair is her covering?
@@JasonDeMars in 1 Corinthians 11: 5 But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.
Paul is saying that a womans head being uncovered is just as if her head were shaven. It is a dishonor. women must cover their heads when praying and prophesying.
Verse 10
For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.
So are you saying this "power" "symbol" of authority on her head is her hair?
And when Paul says in verse 13
"Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?"
He is talking about hair not an actual hair covering?
Why do we see women from Bible times wear a head covering? Or is that not really biblical. Not arguing with you just trying to understand scripture. It can be consuming sometimes. I've been trying to find answers. We need to ask the Holy Spirit for guidance.
@@Stephanie-di7qy Long uncut hair is the covering he speaks of, yes. A woman with cut hair is not covered.
@@JasonDeMars i was thinking more deeply about this and if Paul said in 1 corinthians 11:4 "Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head". Then is Paul saying that a man has to not have hair on his head in order to do these things? That doesn't make any sense. I think Paul is actually saying that women do need to wear an actual head covering other wise if you think "hair" is a head covering then Paul would be saying that men need to be without hair to pray or prophesy? Again the logic of hair being the actual covering Paul is speaking about would be strange if he is also saying men need to be without hair? If hair in this context would be the hair covering. I encourage you to look deeper and ask the Holy Soirit for answers.
@@Stephanie-di7qy remember the context. Long hair vs cut hair.
Covered vs uncovered
A man with his head covered means a man with long hair. A woman with her head covered speaks of having long uncut hair. This is what the context is that Paul is speaking of.
Jesus did not have long hair as apostle Paul said in. A.Corinthians 11:14-15
14 Does not even nature itself teach you, that if a man have long hair, it is an insult to him? 15 But if a woman have long hair, it is to her glory. for his hair is given to him for a covering:
Why do we grow old and die?
GOD did not want humans to die. Our first parents, Adam and Eve, were created with a perfect mind and body. They could still be alive today. This is clear from what God said to Adam about a tree growing in the garden of Eden.
God said to Adam: “The day you eat [from the tree] you will surely die.” - Genesis 2:17. This command would have been meaningless if Adam had been created to grow old and die. Adam knew that if he did not eat from that tree, he would not die.
GOD'S PURPOSE WAS NOT THAT PEOPLE DIE.
God said to Adam: "Eat your bread with the sweat of your brow until you return to the ground from where you were taken. for you were dust and you will become dust. ”- Genesis 3: 17-19. As a result, “all the days of Adam's life were nine hundred and thirty years and he died.” - Genesis 5: 5. Adam did not go to heaven or hell. Or live in a spiritual realm.
What is the Resurrection?
The Bible's answer
In the Bible, the Greek word translated "resurrection" means "to stand" or "to restore." The resurrected person is resurrected from the dead and is the same person who was before. - 1 Corinthians 15:12, 13.
It is true that the word "resurrection" is not found in the Hebrew Scriptures, which are known as the Old Testament, but the promise of resurrection is there. For example, through the prophet Hosea, God promised: “I will rescue them from the hand of the grave, and I will rescue them from death.” - Hosea 13:14; Job 14: 13-15; Isaiah 26:19; Daniel 12: 2, 13.
Where will people be resurrected? Some people will be resurrected to live in heaven. There they will reign with Jesus Christ. - 2 Corinthians 5: 1; Revelation 5: 9, 10. The Bible calls this resurrection "the first resurrection" and the word "first" makes it clear that there will be another resurrection. - Revelation 20: 6. That other resurrection will be for the living on earth, and most of the dead will be resurrected in this way. - Psalm 37:29.
How are the dead raised? God gave Jesus the power to resurrect the dead. - John 11:25. Jesus will bring to life “all those in the memorial tombs,” each with his own personality, attributes, and memories. - John 5:28, 29. Some will be resurrected to live in heaven, while others will be resurrected to live on earth with perfect and healthy bodies. - Isaiah 33:24; 35: 5, 6. 1 Corinthians 15: 42-44, 50
They multiply priests and saints with sad faces pile up, perform miracles, cast out demons. But Jesus said, The tree is known by its fruit.
THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MATTHEW
7: 21-23:
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and did many miracles in your name?' 23 Then i will tell them plainly that I did not know you at all. Get away from me, you workers of iniquity.
Matthew 7: 15-20
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 By their fruits ye shall know them. Do they gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles? 17 So every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; and an evil tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Ye shall know them by their fruits.
B. LETTER TO CORINTHIANS (Paul)
11: 13-15:
13 For such are the apostles, liars, deceitful workers, impersonating the apostles of Christ. 14 And it is not surprising. because Satan also takes the form of a bright angel. 15 Wherefore, it is not a great thing that his ministers should be likened unto the ministers of righteousness. Their end will be in proportion to their deeds.
4: 4. In whom is the god of this world?
(Satan) blinded the minds of the unbelievers, that the light of the glory of the gospel of Christ might not shine upon them, which is the image of God.
Eternal life is a free gift from God. The eternal punishment is not righteousness because how many years can a person live at most? Here, eternal punishment means eternal death. God is Love!
Bible answers
Ecclesiastes 3:19,20
19 for there is an outcome for humans and an outcome for animals,they all have the same outcome. As the one dies, so the other dies, and they all have but one life. So man has no superiority over animals, for everything is futile. 20 All are going to the same place. They all come from the dust, and they all are returning to the dust.
John 3:13
13 Moreover, no man has ascended into heaven, but the one who descended from heaven, the Son of man.
John 5:28,29
28 Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.
Psalm 37:29
29 The righteous will possess the earth, And they will live forever on it!
it's clear
A. LETTER TO TIMOTHY 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men,the man Christ Jesus!
Mattew 24:36
36 “Concerning that day and hour nobody knows,neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father.
Mattew 23:8-10
8 But be not ye called teachers. for one is your Teacher, even Christ. 9 You are all brothers. And call no man father (Spiritual all leader etc.)upon the earth. for one is Father, which is in heaven.10 And be not ye called masters. for one is your Master, even Christ...

Fuck this dude! Zeppelin is bad ass!
Same with beards. Don’t cut them.
Ok. Doth nature not teach...
What about the lion? It, the MALE in particular, has long hair. That's nature. Is Jesus NOT the LION OF JUDAH? There are depictions of Him having LONG HAIR. AS A LION.
You have this wrong. There is a male in nature with long hair. And our Lord and Savior HAD long hair. And His title is that of this very example in nature.
So you are attacking the apostle Paul? The apostle Paul had it wrong?
@@JasonDeMars leviticus 19:27...apparently there is a misunderstanding somewhere. God, in the verse mentioned above specifically told the Jewish men NOT to cut their hair. Make sure when researching the verse that you get the proper meanings. It is not Paul who is wrong, but the readers who don't know scripture.
@@dreddthaseeker6492 no, that is a specific style of cutting the beard or hair that was in line with how pagans did it. That is not a ban on cutting the hair.
@@JasonDeMars nope. God didn't mention pagan hair styles.
*||Did Jesus Christ have long hair?||*
*_#1_* Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, _When either man or woman shall separate themselves _*_[to vow a vow of a Nazarite,_*_ to separate themselves unto the LORD]:_ [...]All the days of _[the vow of his separation] there shall [no rasor come upon his head]:_ until the days be fulfilled, in the which he separateth himself unto the LORD, he shall be holy, _and [shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow]._ - Num. 6:2, 5 kjv.
(The Nazarite man or woman wasn't allowed to cut his or her hair during the vow. And as everyone should already know; Samson was a Nazarite from birth.)
_And this is [the law of the Nazarite], when the days of his separation are fulfilled:_ he shall be brought unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: _[...]And the [Nazarite] shall shave the head of his separation at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,_ and shall take the hair of the head of his separation, and put it in the fire which is under the sacrifice of the peace offerings. - Num. 6:13, 18.
(According to Bible expositors, the appearance of a man is marred during this vow due to the long hair giving them a more womanish look. The reason for this was spiritual. It was spiritual over fleshly, a special commitment to God. It was a humbling vow wherein one had to abandon vainglory, pride, and the pride of life, and were to suffer from feelings of humiliation. Nevertheless, men with long hair were still seen as virile or vigorous, excellent mating candidates because of their perceived good health. Long hair was also symbolic of the vine of vinegar. Woman, just like men, had to shave themselves bald when the vow terminated.)
Now, was Jesus a Nazarite? No, not even from birth, because the word never indicates that he took one, or that he was placed under one from birth. He was a [Nazarene], yes, but not a [Nazarite]. Thus, he must've had a Ceasar's cut. _You can find that fact out at [three] different occasions in the four gospels. The keywords to look for will be: _*_wine & vinegar._*
Nazarites, in addition to not being allowed to drink wine, eat grapes, and cut their hair, [they were also not allowed to touch or go near to a dead body]; they were to remain ceremonially clean according to Nazarite regulations all the while abiding by the other ceremonial laws of the mosaic law. He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days. - Num. 19:11.
_(Num. __19:11__ says they who touch a dead body would be made unclean; That means that Nazarites aren't, under any circumstances, allowed to touch the dead, either. Num. 6:6-7 says of the Nazarite vow that they're not even to go near a dead body. Num. 6:9 makes an even stricter, more thoughtful restriction for the Nazarite._ *But didn't Jesus touch the hand of a dead little girl in Mark 5:41?)*
*_#2_* Their was divine regulation for long hair in the Jewish priesthood:
But _[the priests] the Levites, the sons of Zadok,_ that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister unto me, and they shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord GOD: *[...]Neither shall they shave their heads, nor suffer their locks to grow long;* they shall only poll ("trim") their heads. - Ezek. 44:15, 20.
(In case anyone hasn't recalled or realized, but Jesus is our _great high priest_ of the Christian faith! And had they not cut their hair, then they would've looked identical to the pagan priesthood.)
*_#3_* And Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons, _[Uncover not your heads], neither rend your clothes;_ lest you die, and lest wrath come on all the people: _but let your brothers, the whole house of Israel, [mourn] the burning which the LORD has kindled._ - Lev. 10:6.
(According to the expositors, the customs were: grow the hair long when in mourning, and shave the head when servile as a slave, or in mourning (Jer. 7:29), or by reason of illness [i.e. leprosy]. The priesthood wasn't allowed to shave their heads (Lev. 21:5). _Thus, both shaving the head bald or letting the locks grow long represented mourning and grief._ *When Jesus mourned for Lazarus; Did he ever allow his hair to grow long? No, he shortly after raised him from the dead.)*
*_#4_* The most obvious of all is the verse found in _1 corinthians chapter 11 verse 14._ *Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?* But if a woman have long hair, _[it is a glory to her]:_ for her hair is given her for a covering. - 1 Cor. 11:14-15.
(This should be self-explanatory; it's related to that common sense of what humanity generally accepts as appropriate [propriety], and in this case, for human genders. By trimming the hair short one can easily see that it adds to their [manliness]; combined with a long beard and wisdom, their authority would be made unquestionable; thus, to let the hair grow long is to avoid the responsibility of pure manliness! And a Nazarite judge's authority would be unquestionable by reason of the sanctifying vow. One can also see that women grow long hair more often than men do. Jesus the Christ would've never sinned in any part of the law. So, allowing his own hair to grow would've been _[blatant disobedience and rebellion against God concerning one's own sense of what's appropriate]._ A man wearing long hair as a result of preference in itself is a mark/sign of effeminacy, rebellion, indecorum, and other bad traits (just wearing their hair long is likely to also incite these things as well). And yet, surprisingly, even some (if not many) believers today disobey this straightforward and hard to miss verse. Today, truth is relative, and thus less authoritative, so good luck convincing such people to cut their hair.) _See also, Rev. 9:8._
*_#5_* Some say that Jesus had to have had a Ceasar's cut, because had he not had one, and if it was indeed true that Jesus alone had long hair at the time, then _[he would've been easier to spot in the garden where he would be betrayed],_ and thus, there wouldn't be any point in _giving the pharisees a sign_ (remember that the sign was a kiss) to indicate who Jesus was while he was in the company of his 12 disciples. However, this cannot be the case due to the fact that _Jesus lead his 12 disciples, in all things [pertaining to a holy life] (that would even extend to one's physical appearance), by example._ Thus, they all (the pharisees & the 12 disciples), too, would've had long hair, *and that would mean that all men everywhere would need to wear their long hair for the spiritual betterment of mankind, as well as their own spiritual well-being,* but again, the word nowhere indicates that men are to grow their hair long, but only the contrary; they were to trim their hair down to a moderate size.
*_#6_* People tend to resort to the lion's mane arguement to justify their disobedience, but scripture has something to say about that too, found in 1 Samuel 17:34-36 kjv. Now, people like to misconstrue these passages, but the bible is clear, and it ought to be clear to us, that the "beard" verse was referring to the lion's [entire] mane. And, thus, did one man liken the man's beard to the lion's mane, and not the long hair also, because they likened _that_ to the long flowing hair of horses. Another said that a man without his beard is like a lion without its mane (or even its [entire mane]). That's because the beard in itself symbolizes great things, and some men even expounded upon what those things were; they too discouraged long hair on men. One great teacher of our time ("John Weaver") even showed us how the spiritual state of men affected whether or not they'd sport long hair, and I'm going to be frank here and tell you that his *assessment of history has pointed to the conclusion that Christian men with long hair don't make the word of God their rule of faith, but the leaven of men.* _Look up the TH-cam channel "Jeetfeet" before it's one day taken down, to see what I mean._
The times are becoming more androgynous, have you not noticed?
---
People can understand and easily accept why men with short hair and no beard may look the way they look (because some men in fact can't grow beards). But a Christian man who's fully capable of growing a beard and yet sports long hair, anyways, demonstrates that he doesn't have God's word as the leading authority over his life, or that he's ignorant of what the scripture says about that (though, this scenario is likely rare), and has made clear his open rebellion against God. Unless he's growing his hair out of necessity (survival) he shouldn't be growing his hair long!
