Romans 16:7 - Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellow-prisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.

I dare you to take a crack at it and prove this source being off.

I'd love to see how my brothers who like the "old paths" think about Christianity circa 70 AD and before.

Who cares? Is this the best choice you can find for debate? Whether someone had long hair?

It is funny watching people selectively accept history depending on whether it aligns with their views or not...

it goes both ways, liberal and con

in some ways the progressive have a easier job than the conservatives. any good debater knows its way harder to defend something than to deconstruct it given enough time, effort, and diet coke.

First of all let me ask YOU this, Who is Hegessipus that we should place any credence in him? He is identified by some as a Greek convert others as a Jewish convert and some have even claimed that he is a heretic that translated Apollonius' manuscripts taken from the Hindus of India into Greek in the second century. One group even claims that Hegessipus intended to replace the worship of Christ as the central figure of Christianity with the worship of Apollonius!

No you will have to do better than that to stir up trouble around here.

I SUGGEST you touch on the subject of lights, fog machines and the veil if you really want to get a rise around here.

Just my opinion, valuable as it is.

Does anyone have inspired-of-God writings that indicate James had long hair? lol We need Bible, and not fallible history.

It is human nature to accept what we like and disapprove what we don´t like...
However when we say the scriptures teach something we must really know that the scriptures teach it. To say I perfere is the best if we are in doubt.

I know this is about James but what about Paul and his N. vow?
I am not for men with long hair but this interests me to know how to give an acceptable answer.
