Do you believe that God was displeased with men and women who took a Nazarite vow wherein they allowed their hair to grow and then shaved their heads at the end of the vow? You see, while I believe that long beautiful hair is a woman's glory... I do not believe that it matters to God either way. I mean, is a woman struggling with cancer that has lost her hair now somehow displeasing to God???

I don't like "butch cuts" on women either. But... am I imposing my preference onto God, assuming that He thinks like me (making Him in my image)... or am I just confessing that I think it's ugly?
A four hundred $ suit is a low to moderate price.
Well... maybe I should buy more suits. The most expensive suit I've purchased was $70.

If you actually know of those who place suits and long hair before being like Jesus in character - they should come to repentance, I think all will agree there.
The moment someone says that you have to abide by an unbiblical standard for Heaven, fellowship, or "sanctification"... be it with regards to suits... jewelry... pants... hair... make up... beards... sleeves... etc., they have elevated their traditon above Jesus.

The focus of our sanctification must be a full focus on the person of Christ, and see Him formed in us.
