Members Jason A Posted November 10, 2009 Members Share Posted November 10, 2009 I have spoken to my church leader on this issue. He hasn't tried to foce it, or put undue pressure on me, but I've felt the conviction that I do need a short haircut. Seems to me biblical. And also I'd like to go for it, as a symbolic thing. No longer a teenage rebel! What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1Timothy115 Posted November 10, 2009 Members Share Posted November 10, 2009 I think God will tell you what He wants you to do with your hair. I have a son named Jason and his middle innitial is "A" is this also your middle innitial? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jason A Posted November 10, 2009 Author Members Share Posted November 10, 2009 You're right - anyway, please vote for me, as I feel it's the right thing to do. A lot of conviction about that one just lately. Yes, my initial is A - Andrew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amblivion Posted November 10, 2009 Members Share Posted November 10, 2009 I voted yes. I think it is not only Biblical, but personally I think it is more attractive when a guy has short hair. Just read what the Bible has to say and the Holy Spirit! P.S. This is the first post I have seen from you! Welcome to OB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Psalms18_28 Posted November 10, 2009 Members Share Posted November 10, 2009 You don't have to shave off your hair or have a "crew" cut just to have short hair. Just make sure it is it is short enough that you won't be mistaken as a girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JerryNumbers Posted November 10, 2009 Members Share Posted November 10, 2009 Jason, that's great, glad you made that decsion. Short hair is also easier to keep and take care of. I know that some use the argument that the only thing that courts is what is in the heart. The truth is if it don't show up on the outside of us people will not know what is in our hearts. One person wrote something like this, its not what we wear, how we dress, how we behave our self {conduct}, or places we go, people will know us from the light that shines from within. Truth is, if that light is shining within us people will know we're walking with God by what we wear, how we dress, how we behave our self {conduct}, or places we go. Some good people have two strikes against them before they ever say a word because of a poor personal appearance. They say you can't tell a book by its cover, and that's true. But many good books are never sold because of a poor cover. And many not so good books have sold because of a good cover. from: Some Things I've Learned by Curtis Hutson page 80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, true! It IS of course the inner person that counts, but hopefully people will now be able to see on the outside how I have changed my attitude. Wasn't an easy step, but glad I did it. Will always be short now. Thanks for encouragement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members quinkie Posted November 10, 2009 Members Share Posted November 10, 2009 I am all for short hair on men. Using the same argument that is used for women not wearing slacks - look at the bathroom doors - the symbol for man does not have long hair.

Our walk with God will not always be easy, but He will be with us and bring us through whatever we have to face. Hebrews "...I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee." You reminded me of one more thing. When I went in the Air Force in early 1966 I will never forget the day we got out hair cut. It did not bother me to much for I was use to wearing my hair fairly short, but it bother some of them very much. I remember one Airman that had a big head of hair, as the barber cut his hair tears were running down his cheeks. The only thing that bothered me was we had to pay fifteen cents for the hair cut.

Members Jerry Posted November 10, 2009 Members Share Posted November 10, 2009 The Bible teaches that more than just the inside is important - otherwise, there wouldn't be passages dealing with externals, such as clothing, jewelry, hair lengths, tattoos, makeup, etc. In regards to hair lengths, the Bible teaches that it is supposed to be long enough on a woman to be a covering - and short enough on a man to not be a covering. What does hair cover? Forehead and face, neck or shoulders, ears - does a man's hair cover those areas? Then it is too long. If a woman's hair is not long enough to cover those areas, then it is too short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
