“Nature tells me that some men with long hair are pretty darn masculine. “
Well, I don’t know, the Bible is the Bible. So apparently there is something about nature that teaches us that it’s a dishonor to him. Even if we don’t get it.
“Long” is not defined as a measurement so perhaps it is judged against cultural norms.
Well, it lets your enemy get a good grip to decapitate you and tie your head to his saddle ...
But anyway, it's a question, "Does not nature itself teach you ...?" and my answer is, "No, actually, it doesn't, in any comprehensive way. Depends on the guy." My husband would look silly with long hair, but Wes Studi doesn't.
being contrary here “ Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him? “ —> doesn’t that ignore Samson? And I’m pretty sure most of the OT kings, judges, prophets etc. had long hair. Maybe even Jesus.
