    Wow, I can't believe this thread is still alive, although quite twisted. I just posted it to relieve a little stress.

    As far as the 'Super Chistian" comment. It's just a term I made up years ago to define those who feel they are closer to God because of things they do or don't do. It does not apply to those who do or don't do out of a sincere love for God, but those who base the actions on a beleif that somehow they impressed God with said action or non-action.

    Does that even make sense?

    Just remember the poem written by Milton, On Hs Blindness:

    "They also serve who only stand and wait..." And the old saying: "Your life speaks so loud, I can't hear the words you say."

    Cheers,

    Jim

    OK I knew that. I'm addressing the problem (so-called) of long hair.

    Also, I'm not sure what Paul meant by " Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?".

    Surely Paul was aware of the Nazarite vow and that there was no shame involved.
