Did Paul let his hair grow long?

[LUKE2447]

Wow, so pagan cultures determine biblical truth. Also it was only long in compared to the butch cuts most women have today. As in time past women let there hair grow very long. Long is not to the shoulders.

Here is what I said regarding culture and something being "shameful" not sin.


"It is the culture which teaches us that something is shameful or not......as long as it is not expressly prohibited in God's word."


Culture does NOT trump God's word. Culture certainly does fill in the blanks many times on what is proper and improper. (not sinful or not)

Unless you are a black woman or a woman who's hair doesn't grow past their shoulders.

What of those women?

This is why I believe that the verse on hair is simply stating that a woman is to allow her hair grow to its full length, and men are to do the opposite (cut his hair in a short fashion). I personally do not think it is a matter of bringing out a tape measure, but a matter of how the hair is allowed/not allowed to grow.

Bingo!
Another victory for common sense.
