the whole hair argument is a CUSTOM issue- what are the customs of hte day- back in that day the jews and greeks wore their hair short- most of the other cultures wore their hair long- Paul would not have given the same advice to them as he did to the greeks and jews- it is also known that the greeks ‘short hair’ was actually longer than men cut their hair today- so what would the actual ‘short hair’ standard be today IF Paul actually meant for all men everywhere to abide by the specific customs of two cultures of that day? Many Christians think that ‘women aren’t to wear men’s clothes’ means women shouldn’t wear pants- but the fact is back in Jesus’s day EVERYONE wore robes- when exactly did pants become gender specific? They weren’t even invented yet=- Women in china were required to wear pants long before men were permitted to-

The3 bible gives many CUSTOM SPECIFIC advices- many of which legalists take and run with even today- Customs change- and m ost customs are not black and white- while some- like a society deviating off into homosexuality- is black and white and NOT simply custom specific- so those who use the excuse that ‘Well would a custom that dictated homosexuality was ok be acceptable then?” is a bogus argument-

Back in the day- in greek and jewish cultures- long hair was associated with paganistic rituals and homosexual prostitution- A homosexual walking into a jewish town would seek out men with long hair kept pretty by the owner as advertisement that he was a homosexual prostitute or a pagan- that is no longer the case today-

Again, since other cultures wore their hairl ong, the same ‘advertising’ by homos and pagans was not present in those cultures so there woudl have been no need to give such advice in those cultures- Everyone had long hair, so it wasn’t considered a shame like in jewish cultures where only the prostitute men had long hair which they kept in a feminine style to entice other men to sin with them-
