Is my best friend sinning by growing long hair?

Doesn't it say in the Bible, somewhere, that men aren't supossed to grow long hair? And my best friend is. Is he sinning? His dad's one of the elders at our church, and he's not saying anything about it. Is it okay?

Is my best friend sinning by growing long hair?

LOL, Solly!

"Against nature" to wear one's hair a certain way or another??? If it grows out of one's body, how can it be unnatural in ANY way? (I know I'm preaching to the choir, but it's just so hysterically funny!) Oh, those wacky Hebrews!!!! The things they believed are so arbitrary and crazy.

Jesus supposedly preached that the Jewish practice of forbidding certain foods as "unclean" was incorrect. He said that it is what comes out of a man's mouth that makes him unclean, not what he puts in it. One could VERY easily extrapolate from that statement that Jesus would say that the length of one's hair is utterly unimportant. Perhaps he would say it's what is in one's heart that is important, not on one's head? Or what goes on INSIDE one's head is important, not what grows out of it.

There is, but there's also the story of Solomon, who lost all his power when his hair was cut, and regained it when it grew back. As with so many things in the bible, you can find a verse to defend any position. Women aren't supposed to go into a church with their hair uncovered or wearing gold or pearls, either - look around next time and see how many wedding rings are in your church. Nobody follows those rules anyway.

Personally, I think short hair on a guy is a sign of weakness and conformity.
