Bible Discussion Thread

In response to Toujoursdan 's question about the Lord commanding men not to cut their hair and beard. We must remember that in Leviticus, Jews were under the law and are a chosen and perculiar people. He wanted them set apart, but in the new testament, both the circumised and uncircumised were saved. Though the Jews are still His chosen people, they no longer have separate themselves. Christ came to fulfill the law so that we no longer had to suffer the consquences of being unble to fulfill the law. Now His Grace is sufficient, though there were benefits to obeying the law. I Corth 11:16 states there is no law custom against men having long hair, it may be considered shameful, being that is no longer required and represents the glory of women . In today 's society orthodox Jewish Priest still follow the custom of not cutting their hair beard to be seen as set apart. If you feel led by God to not cut your hair, be obedient to the spirit of God, otherwise it is no longer a mandate.
