Danny, thank you for taking the time to post this long post as the book of Judges does not say anything about Samson not cutting his hair. Danny, what is the purpose of a razor going to ones head unless you were going to shave it? I apologize if the King Jimmy bible isn't good enough for you, but it works for me. If I am shaved, then my strength will leave.

Num 6:2 KJV 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:

Num 6:5 KJV All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor 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 6:9 KJV And if any man die very suddenly by him, and he hath defiled the head of his consecration; then he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing, on the seventh day shall he shave it.

AHA!!!

I was just going to post the same thing! I still remember that thread...we never did get any good answers, did we?

From the expression on his face, it was clear that he had not. So, I continued talking to him... and I sent him an email stating in detail what I've found in studying. He read it and promised me that he will study it out. He's been really busy right now, been oversees working w/missions, but I know that he will do it because he promised me.

I might be a little predudice, but he is intelligent and is an excellent speaker... he is an awesome preacher and teacher. He really studies the Greek and Hebrew on everything. I was amazed he hadn't ever studied this subject closely. Of course he is a man and hair doesn't really pertain to him all that much.

I do know that he once promoted RR and her "power in hair" message and absolutely does not believe that now... and I know that he doesn't believe cutting hair will send you to hell. *sigh of relief*

I am not for a total abandonment of standards.. I just want truth taught.... and nothing more. If it isn't in there for "uncut" then quit teaching that it is.. Quit laying a burden on some women who find it very difficult not to trim and keep their hair neat and groomed.

Preach It Sister!!!!

Both women and men would cease the normal cutting of their hair for a designated period (usually one month) and then shave the head. Cutting their hair was just the norm for both men and women in the Old Testament. There is no prohibition in the Old Testament for a man or woman to cut their hair. Neither is there a prohibition in the Old Testament for a man or woman to let gheir hair grow.

Interesting response. So, would you propose that 1 Cor 11 is something NEW in God's Word to the church alone, and only since the church came into being?
