Ok, I know that The Bible is the past and most people inturpate all scriptures in to todays world .. well Im looking up some things and I havent found anything about men not being able to have long hair...
See .. what it is .. My brother has long hair .. my dad and my brother hates it and thinks its gay .. they always seem to come at him and say "The Bible says that having long hair is a sin, and because your hair is long you must be dont obey god" ... and I think thats stupid to tell somebody .. I havent found it YET ... WAIT I FOUND IT!... !!!
This Comes from Corinthians & Ezekiel
.. This Means that it must be the Roman & some what Catholic Way... SOMEBODY WAS TEACHING THE WAYS OF THE LORD WHEN THEY WROTE THIS ... not exactly what GOD said but it is in the bible ...
In Ezekiel 44:15-25 told How a Preist must live, and as far as hair goes..
They must not shave their heads or let their hair grow long, but they are to keep the hair of their heads trimmed.
that only reffered to THEM though ... Here's The Real Deal....
In 1 Corinthians 11 1-20 it says " Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ". ... Who's Example? ..
The Apostle Paul started the church in Corinth. A few years after leaving the church, the Apostle Paul heard some disturbing reports about the Corinthians church. The church was full of pride, the church was excusing sexual immorality, spiritual gifts were being used improperly, and there was rampant misunderstanding of key Christian doctrines. The Apostle Paul wrote 1 Corinthians in an attempt to restore the Corinthian church to its foundation – Jesus Christ.
so i guess were supposed to be following what Paul said ... In This Script, Hes Refering to Traditions That the Apostiles/Deciples Did while ... These Kats were Followers of Jesus, But yet they were a Monk-ish style Group who had Hooded Robes on while they Ministered .. Back then.. they Deciples/Apostiles were the First to take on the whole "Street Ministry" thing .. because back then There werent Churches so they had to Take it to the streets to Preach the Gospel ..
but thats another story .. Here's what Im Talking about...
Propriety in Worship (IN THE CORINTH CHURCH) WRITTEN BY PAUL .. Remember he wrote this in an attempt To Restore The Chorith Church,, Corith is Roman and Most Romans were Catholic......
Oh yeah .. when they say "Covered Head" . they're referring to how your hair is Maintained or it means Long Hair and/or Cloth over your heads or Lots of Hair that could be messy ... . in this Book It's Refering to The Hair and The Cloth placements

2 I praise you for remembering me in everything and for holding to the teachings just as I passed them on to you. 3 Now I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.
4 Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head.
5 And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is just as though her head were shaved.
6 If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off; and if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, she should cover her head.
7 A man ought not to cover his head since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.
8 For man did not come from woman, but woman from man;
9 neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.
10 For this reason, and because of the angels, the woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head.
11 In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman.
12 For as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God.
13 Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?
14 Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him,
15 but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering.
16 If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice—nor do the churches of God.

If You've Read.. It ASKS YOU TO JUDGE FOR YOURSELVES..
... those scriptures were RULES OF PAULS CHURCH
After All This said ... JESUS is potrayed to have had Long Hair, The Men Around him Had Long Hair ...There are Lots of Females in this world who have Short hair and Love & worship the lord GOD as well, as the met with the Long Hair who do so...
You Probably Noticed all the "Coverings of The Head" parts.. Well.. YEAH.. See what Im Saying . There not Only Refering to HAIR ... they dont say its a Sin or that its Dis-Obeying God .. It says that Your Dis Obeying The Rules of The Corith... and just think .. PAUL MADE THIS UP from what He KNEW of .. but He had to make rules to get these people to Calm Down.. .. it was only an ATTEMPT ...
Yall.. I'll Post Later..

Thank you for researching this bit and sharing. I'm not an atheist, but I am so very far removed from organized religion for many, many reasons like this one. Or more appropriately, the removal of context that everyone with half a brain can change to fit their whim.
