I believe that the Shoud has an image of a man with long hair. Jesus did not have long hair. Paul said in 1 Corinthians 11:14
14 Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him?
Do you honestly think he would say that if Jesus had long hair?
There is a large portion of us who are anti Pauline for many reasons big and small and this is one of the small ones. Literally that verse translates to "well yeah lots of guys wear their hair short, and I am bald, so uh if a guy has long hair, well what a loser cause doesn't he see short hair is the norm"
The norms back then and the norms of today are completely different. Jesus blended in with the Jews around him. There was nothing in his appearance to make him stand out. So he would not have had long hair.
Plus the Shroud really is nothing more than an item to worship. As fas as I am concerned it is a huge fake.
I have issues with Paul too. I wonder if he was an infiltrator. We all know the Schofield Bible is wrong, I think many focus on Paul’s message and not enough of the gospels. Friends tell me it’s Satan casting doubt within when I question Paul. So irritating.
Paul didn’t ever meet Jesus.
We don't know that for sure but it is possible. Of course he talked to people that knew Jesus on a day to day basis. Never the less. The norms for Jewish men at the time were what Paul was referring to. Jesus was probably dark skinned,dark eyes and dark hair. We know he had a beard because it was pulled on while he was carrying the cross.
Isaiah 53:2
...“He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to Him, nothing in His appearance that we should desire Him.” ...
It is reasonable to believe he would not stand out in a crowd of his peers. At least in a physical way. Maybe that is why Judas was payed to point him out to the Romans.
If he had long hair while the people around him did not he would stand out.
I freely admit I could be wrong about this. It dosen't really matter. It is just one more thing for me to question the story of the Shroud.
Just to be clear. I am not referring to a lenght of a mans hair in todays world. That has nothing to do with this converstation. If men want long hair let them have long hair. I know a few guys that would like to have any hair at all. So far I am not one of those. :)
What did they consider long. I believe the Romans had short hair and were beardless. At least this is how they are portrayed to us. And in marble statues. So maybe collar length would have been considered long. Were the Israelites influenced by the Roman fashion? I guess in the big scheme of things it doesn’t really matter.
You have a point. I don't know what was considered long hair. I am not an expert on the Shroud. I have seen a picture of what they thought the image might look like in real life and it showed a man with hair well past his shoulders. It dosen't really matter, except for the fact you gave me an opportunity to dwell on my thinking on the subject a little bit more, Thanks for that
