If hair wasn't supposed to grow long, God wouldn't have made it that way. Who would have cut Adam's hair short before scissors had been invented?

[TheDuckSquash]

Hair isn't "dress", it just grows

[tmjrqzw]

This dude has no idea what he is even talking about

[sophistsofis]

I've dealth with adultery and lust. I fell for women, like Samson did. Now I grow my hair out and I abstain from alcohol. As God commanded Samson, before he fell.

I also have a beard, which makes it pretty clear that I am not a woman. Nor do I style my hair in a way that's feminine.

I'll remain in that sobriety and abstinence until I marry, then I'll cut my hair and have a glass of champagne to celebrate.

That's a long way off, and until then, I dedicate myself to God.

Every warrior since the dawn of time had long hair. You cut your hair you cut yourself from nature and the divine.

Umm..: I don’t think commenting on long hair really matters. Short hair is a cultural — Samson has long hair, Old Testament people have long hair, Jesus had long jair (just reference norms form that time frame) having long hair does not make your look like a woman.
Long hair is actually associated with wisdom and spiritual intuition. Historically, short hair is associated with slaves and servants— godliness was associated with long hair. That’s why people like Moses are depicted with long hair and taken seriously by Pharaoh. This video is weird and focuses on the wrong things…

Additionally I would like to point out, the feminist movement heavily pushes women to have short hair. Cutting your hair does have spiritual significance. In the US culture, those who grew their hair out long were rebellion against conformity of what was deemed “Christian” in our society. However, the bigger picture is, the cultural Norma of the US don’t dictate what is and isn’t godly when it comes to hair. There is no comment on hair lengths in the Bible. You are taking bible verses and twisting it to fit your narrative then denying that long hair (man or woman) signifies wisdom, spirituality and intuition- while short hair represents being a servant, slave and lack of enlightenment. Every culture worldwide, when they want to conquer a group of people, makes them cut their hair off. British did this to the native Americans, China did this to the Chinese when communism took over— looks like the church is demanding this type of conformity through this Channel when it has nothing to do with being a believer in Jesus Christ. Seriously if I went to church and this is what the pastor wasted time preaching about I would have just walked out

And Yet samson had long hair and was instructed by God not to cut it. Forget About that part of the bible?

[AdrianGalvan-synh]

Didn't Jesus Christ have long hair

[tyrellspeed]

Everyone confuses what long hair and short hair is. Long hair is hair to the waist past the forearms. Short hair is a bob or shoulder length hair. Short hair is not buzzed or cropped to the scalp hair. Men can have short hair.

I’m a guy with hair to my mid back and a long beard. If men were supposed to keep their hair neat and cut, scissors and razors would grow on trees.

[GermanShepherd]

I wear shoulder length hair and I'll walk out of any church that tells me it's wrong. In the Old Testament it says men should not cut their hair and I'm adhering to that. If a church doesn't like that I'll find one that does. So far my current church accepts me for what I am.

[xbemos]

I feel like this verse is actually discussing the double standard that is there for men that they should grow their hair out and not be chastised because the hair is an adornment of strength and honor to Gods purpose and it covers the head in respect.

[Lion]

God does not care how long you grow your hair. Come on folks.

[tttjwhk]

Culturally people don't follow Christ so am I to not to follow Christ??? What about Samson?? Your entire video is centered around the status quo of people...what about the status quo of God???!!

I'd rather stand with God and be judged by the world then stand with the world and be judged by God!

[Jabbaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Thank you for your opinion, this was a really reasonable video

[hugoruiz]

Y cuando lo quieras usar largo, borrarás este video o harás otro.

[mickgeorge]

We are bound by the New Testament. I believe that God is far more concerned about it with what’s in the heart. Then what a person looks like. I believe if a person wants the weather hair long, wear it long, remember not to judge a book by its cover. I don’t think God is concerned about that part. But he is concerned about what’s in the heart, and what you feel what you think, and the kindness of the things you show towards others. That’s my personal belief.

[kaleidojess]

God is a higher being, I highly doubt that long or short hair matters to God. It comes down to being masculine vs feminine. There are plenty of masculin men with long hair.

That's kind of boring that some people interpret that Christians have to stay as conformist as possible.

[nss_ethan]

Ever since covid, many men have grown their hair out, and many women have cut their hair short. I believe that it's the clothes we wear instead of our hair that separates genders.

[lucasking]

my hair has nothing to do with the way I dress my hair is a part of me and if God didn't want it this way it wouldn't grow like this
