Jesus was our High Priest and the biblical interpretation of a High Priest is in Leviticus 19:27 and Ezekiel 44:20. They had sideburns, short beards and were not to let their locks go long.
Thank you, I agree. I have heard others say it was because he was a Nazarite. But you bring up a good point about being a Nazarene. We can read of His description in Rev.1. But I don't want to split hairs over the issue. :)
I think its pretty self explanitory. "The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me" Therefore, in jesus' day, he was most likely "despised" (Isaiah 53) for not having short hair like males did back then.
What do you think about Faustina Kowalska vision about Jesus(Divine Mercy)?... Where Jesus said to her that someone should paint him just a way she had seen him. But Faustina was crying after painting was done because Jesus was not as beautiful as she had seen him, but Jesus said that it's not in the beauty of the paint but in the grace of the picture... 😊
I never saw John as an old man and bald. I always saw long hair and young. I was born Catholic and paintings were very common for me. I even went to Catholic school and never saw John like that.
The Bible implies everyone had long hair. Jesus is the lion of Judah, he is the Son of Man (long-haired Ezekiel), he blended in with everyone (only the rich could cut their hair), he is identified with Adam (Adam was a long-haired, long-bearded guy, no iron to cut hair with, so he had to wait for his son, and by then, he probably was excited to maybe trim things a little bit). There's a lot more. Jesus wasn't a Nazarite explicitly in the Bible, however it is worth nothing that some people have interpreted the Last Supper, where he says he will not "touch the fruit of the vine," as implying that he was taking a vow that he wasn't cutting his hair anymore from that moment until whenever that verse is supposed to be fulfilled. However, many say that he actually did drink the vinegar, but I think Jesus satisfied all the other conditions of a vow, apart from the vinegar drinking (he didn't touch dead bodies from the Last Supper to his death, I don't think). That being said, just because he wasn't a Nazarite or didn't make the Nazarite vow ever, doesn't mean he had short hair, you could have long hair down to your shoulders and not be a Nazarite, which is what most people did back then. It's not like you can say, "he's not a Nazarite," hence he has short hair. Being a Nazarite means a person doesn't cut for a set period of time, so it's the difference between not cutting ever, versus, getting the polled once a year. Also, Judas couldn't identify him by his long hair, 'cause it was just a bunch of long-haired dudes bobbing their heads around, including the bystanders. He couldn't just say "that guy with the short hair of Caesar." Not to mention, Acts mentions Paul with long hair in Corinth. The Corinthians would have probably started a vow upon hearing "be ye followers of me" (1 Corinthians 11:1). Let the long-hair menning and shaven-haired womenning begin, said the Corinthians.
You know this entire post is filled with errors. Ezekiel had long hair? They had needles in the Garden of Eden, why not iron? Jesus said anymore partake of the cup. He was called a winebibber. I could go on but you get the point. God bless!
@@NewLifeOfAlbanyGa you are stating that our beautiful Savior was a winebibber while calling yourself a pastor at the same time? Blasphemy! Stop misleading your poor flock! It was the Pharisees, our Savior's enemies who called him winebibber, the one who crucified him. Our beautiful Savior was drinking a fermented grape juice, made with a good kind of fermentation, made similarly like making sauerkraut, not alcohol, juice that people in the Middle East and Eastern Europe still know how to make.
@@healingrays3229 He wasn't saying that Jesus was a winebibber, he was saying he was called a winebibber. Matthew 11:19 and Luke 7:34. I'm sure you know this already, so why the hostility? Speak from the Holy Spirit and not your own. This whole internet "correcting" is getting out of hand. The anti-christ spirit is stronger now than ever. Put on the whole armor and think before the devil speaks for you again.
I was reading The Bible And I was thinking Jesus could not contradict himself By saying a man Having long hair Is a shame of himself A woman should have long hair to cover Her head And a man should have his hair short or shaved not long
According to the old scripts of the Holy Bible people had to keep an untidy look by focusing more in their souls !Women had really plain long hair to cover their bodies and men above or in their shoulders!So most orthodox monks following that order have long hair and long beards like Jesus had !Some other monks follow the new scripts that men should have short hair! When I asked my father's sister who is an orthodox noun she told me that Jesus is like pictures!Even people that had a vision of Jesus say that he looked like the orthodox pictures!We don't know for sure and personally Iam graving to see Him!Greeting from Greece!
THE APPEARNCE OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST . THE BODY GOD CHOSE TO LIVE IN BECOMING AS ONE OF US The letter from Pontius Pilate to Tiberius Caesar This is a reprinting of a letter from Pontius Pilate to Tiberius Caesar describing the physical appearance of Jesus. Copies are in the Congressional Library in Washington, D.C. TO TIBERIUS CAESAR: A young man appeared in Galilee preaching with humble unction, a new law in the Name of the God that had sent Him. At first I was apprehensive that His design was to stir up the people against the Romans, but my fears were soon dispelled. Jesus of Nazareth spoke rather as a friend of the Romans than of the Jews. One day I observed in the midst of a group of people a young man who was leaning against a tree, calmly addressing the multitude. I was told it was Jesus. This I could easily have suspected so great was the difference between Him and those who were listening to Him. His golden colored hair and beard gave to his appearance a celestial aspect. He appeared to be about 30 years of age. Never have I seen a sweeter or more serene countenance. What a contrast between Him and His bearers with their black beards and tawny complexions! Unwilling to interrupt Him by my presence, I continued my walk but signified to my secretary to join the group and listen. Later, my secretary reported that never had he seen in the works of all the philosophers anything that compared to the teachings of Jesus. He told me that Jesus was neither seditious nor rebellious, so we extended to Him our protection. He was at liberty to act, to speak, to assemble and to address the people. This unlimited freedom provoked the Jews -- not the poor but the rich and powerful. Later, I wrote to Jesus requesting an interview with Him at the Praetorium. He came. When the Nazarene made His appearance I was having my morning walk and as I faced Him my feet seemed fastened with an iron hand to the marble pavement and I trembled in every limb as a guilty culprit, though he was calm. For some time I stood admiring this extraordinary Man. There was nothing in Him that was repelling, nor in His character, yet I felt awed in His presence. I told Him that there was a magnetic simplicity about Him and His personality that elevated Him far above the philosophers and teachers of His day. Now, Noble Sovereign, these are the facts concerning Jesus of Nazareth and I have taken the time to write you in detail concerning these matters. I say that such a man who could convert water into wine, change death into life, disease into health; calm the stormy seas, is not guilty of any criminal offense and as others have said, we must agree -- truly this is the Son of God. Your most obedient servant, Pontius Pilate The Emerald of Caesar The Likeness of Jesus This Likeness of Jesus was copied from a portrait carved on an emerald by order of Tiberius Caesar, which emerald the Emperor of the Turks afterwards gave out of the Treasury of Constantinople to Pope Innocent VIII for the redemption of his brother, taken captive by the Christians > facebook.com/KahunaguruHunapuliAlii/photos/pb.100063662694066.-2207520000./1220243441361577/?type=3
NO, Jesus did not have long hair, and neither was the son of God puny, skinny, weak, short, homeless looking, dirty, etcetera, Jesus was a perfect man, son of the all mighty God. The movies depict Jesus with a very degrading, and awful appearance, even when in the preach work, how disgusting. ● Features: Jesus was a Jew and likely inherited common Semitic traits from his mother. (Hebrews 7:14) It is unlikely that his features were especially distinctive. On one occasion he was able to travel in secret from Galilee to Jerusalem without being recognized. (John 7:10, 11) And he apparently did not stand out even among his closest disciples. Recall that Judas Iscariot had to identify Jesus to the armed crowd that arrested him.-Matthew 26:47-49. ● Hair length: It is unlikely that Jesus’ hair was long, because the Bible says that “long hair is a dishonor to a man.”-1 Corinthians 11:14. ● Beard: Jesus wore a beard. He followed Jewish law, which prohibited adult males from ‘disfiguring the edges of their beard.’ (Leviticus 19:27; Galatians 4:4) Also, the Bible mentions Jesus’ beard in a prophecy about his suffering.-Isaiah 50:6. ● Body: All indications are that Jesus was physically robust. During his ministry, he traveled many miles. (Matthew 9:35) He cleansed the Jewish temple twice, overturning the tables of money changers, and once drove out livestock with a whip. (Luke 19:45, 46; John 2:14, 15) McClintock and Strong’s Cyclopedia states: “The whole evangelical narrative indicates [Jesus’] sound and vigorous bodily health.”-Volume IV, page 884. ● Facial expressions: Jesus was warm and compassionate, and his facial expressions no doubt reflected this. (Matthew 11:28, 29) People of all sorts sought him out for comfort and help. (Luke 5:12, 13; 7:37, 38) Even children felt at ease in his presence.-Matthew 19:13-15; Mark 9:35-37. Misconceptions about Jesus’ appearance Misconception: Some argue that Jesus must have been of African descent because the book of Revelation compares his hair to wool and his feet to “burnished bronze.”-Revelation 1:14, 15, The New Jerusalem Bible. Fact: The book of Revelation is presented “in signs.” (Revelation 1:1) The description of Jesus’ hair and feet uses symbolic language to illustrate Jesus’ qualities after his resurrection, not to describe his physical appearance when he was on earth. In saying that Jesus’ “head and his hair were white as white wool, as snow,” Revelation 1:14 uses color, not texture, as a point of comparison. This represents his wisdom due to age. (Revelation 3:14) This verse is not comparing the texture of Jesus’ hair to that of wool any more than it is comparing the texture of his hair to that of snow. Jesus’ feet looked “like fine copper when glowing in a furnace.” (Revelation 1:15) Also, his face was “like the sun when it shines at its brightest.” (Revelation 1:16) Since no race has skin color matching these descriptions, this vision must be symbolic, showing the resurrected Jesus as the one “who dwells in unapproachable light.”-1 Timothy 6:16. Misconception: Jesus was weak and frail. Fact: Jesus was manly in his behavior. For example, he boldly identified himself to the armed crowd that came to arrest him. (John 18:4-8) Jesus must also have been physically strong to have worked as a carpenter using manual tools.-Mark 6:3. Why, then, did Jesus need help to carry his torture stake? And why did he die before the others executed with him died? (Luke 23:26; John 19:31-33) Just prior to Jesus’ execution, his body was seriously weakened. He had been up all night, in part because of emotional agony. (Luke 22:42-44) During the night the Jews had mistreated him, and the next morning the Romans had tortured him. (Matthew 26:67, 68; John 19:1-3) Such factors likely hastened his death. Misconception: Jesus was always somber, melancholy. Fact: Jesus perfectly reflected the qualities of his heavenly Father, Jehovah, whom the Bible describes as “the happy God.” (1 Timothy 1:11; John 14:9) In fact, Jesus taught others how to be happy. (Matthew 5:3-9; Luke 11:28) These facts indicate that Jesus often reflected happiness in his facial expressions.
Pastor Steve, I am so saddened by your response to this question. I can almost always find some level of agreement with you... But not this time. I don't know of any Biblical description of Jesus other than Rev. 1:14-15 and Isaiah 53:2. Maybe you can direct me to others. But these two certainly don't give us insight into His hair length. So for us to take such a strong stance without evidence makes for very dangerous footing. And then to back it up with an absolute scientific "fact" that women's hair grows twice as fast as mens hair, I can only ask for your sources. I cannot find a single scientific study that supports your claim. But I there are plenty of research papers that seem to disprove your statement. Please be careful Steve. You have a large influence. Don't lose you credibility by being so dogmatic on such a non-issue as the length of Jesus' hair.
Don't get distracted by women's rate of growth vs men's rate of growth. I'm black, and I know that black hair doesn't not grow/grows slower -- which some black people erroneously believe. Our hair is tightly coiled/curled resulting in less sebum along the whole shaft, which makes it easily breakable, so we have to be careful in how we handle it if we want it to grow Rapunzel-long. But none of the preceding is relevant or the point. *The point, is there is a glaring ommission in your recitation of scriptures: **_1 Corinthians _**_11:14_**_ said "Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a ShAmE unto him?"_* It actually doesn't even matter what Paul meant by "nature" _(though it is interesting to delve into that);_ God is not the author of confusion, nor is he a hypocrite/liar. *If the scripture said men aren't to have long hair that means Jesus didn't have long hair...*
@@Matthew24.4 Seems you might have missed my point. Jesus' hair length is a mom issue to me. The point I was trying to make is dogmatism drives people away from the Good News.
He lost me on that whole idea….that’s the problem when you pick and choose your historical interpretations and decide to remove all context and original text from translations and interpretation. This guy must have stopped on his 110 classes of divinity.
Are pentecostal men permitted to grow beards and also ive heard the men don't hug the women during fellowship being a Baptist I am fascinated by the pentecostal movement especially laying on hands and faith healing and the like
John 12, in reality Jesus wrote the entire Bible being God thru inspiration. But not going back and watching the video, I certainly could have misspoke.
I have noticed that picture of Jesus is showing up with short hair and a beard and not what you see hanging in homes and churches with Jesus with long hair and long beard
2 things we have to remember. 1. There was no electricity back then. No clippers. Jesus couldn't have had 'white sidewalls'. 2. There were no scissors either so the only way to trim hair was with a knife or to completely shave the head. Jesus did not have long hair but he didn't have western defined short hair either.
@@NewLifeOfAlbanyGa The hair length depicted by art work varies by culture and date. Greco-Roman men have trimmed hair. Other cultures show longer but not long hair on men. A Jewish man in biblical times would have hair that was shorter than a Jewish woman but not as short as a modern white person. He could poll his hair (lop off the ends with a knife) but he didn't have modern tonsorial tools to do a trim like is possible today. Note that paintings of King James show him to have had shoulder length hair. The bible doesn't define long or short but rather that there be a contrast.
That's a large assumption to claim they didn't have scissors. Actually, spring scissors are thought to date back to 1500 BC. The Roman empire was an advanced civilization not a bunch of cavemen. Have you ever seen a sculpture of Julius Ceaser?
@@Abelmusic - Modern scissors were invented around 100 AD. You didn't cut hair with spring scissors. Julius Caesar was either bald or nearly bald and probably wore a wig. The point is that a man wearing white sidewalls is a fairly recent phenomenon and certainly wasn't the norm in 1st century Palestine.
I knew that when i was that Jesus has short hair because my Father taught me and my father is a pastor too And the one that has long hair is not actually Jesus, it was the thief who has long
Short hair throughout all of human history was shoulder length or shorter. Shaved or closely shaven hair like what most men wear today would have indicated you were a slave. Long hair was length of a womans hair which was tailbone length or longer. You are conflating modern hairstyles with what was the norm for all of human history. So yes Jesus would have had shoulder length or shorter but it would have been to his chin at least or he would have been considered a slave....

The shroud is a single cloth measuring 442 by 113 centimeters (14 ft 6 in. by 3 ft 8 in.) plus an 8-centimeter (3 in.) strip sewed lengthwise. What the Bible says: Jesus’ dead body was wrapped, not in one piece of linen, but in multiple strips of cloth. His head was wrapped in a separate cloth. After Jesus was resurrected, one of his apostles came to the empty tomb and “saw the linen cloths lying there.” The Bible adds: “The cloth that had been on his head was not lying with the other cloth bands but was rolled up in a place by itself.”-John 20:6, 7. 2. The shroud contains markings presumed to be bloodstains from an unwashed corpse. What the Bible says: When Jesus died, his disciples prepared his body “according to the burial custom of the Jews.” (John 19:39-42) This custom included washing the corpse and applying oils and spices to it before burial. (Matthew 26:12; Acts 9:37) Therefore, Jesus’ disciples would have washed his body before wrapping it in cloths. 3. The shroud bears the image of a man “laid lengthwise along one half of the shroud while the other half had been doubled over the head to cover the whole front of the body,” according to the Encyclopædia Britannica. What the Bible says: Jesus’ disciples discussed his death, his empty tomb, and the eyewitness testimony of women who saw “a supernatural sight of angels, who said he is alive.” (Luke 24:15-24) If the shroud had been in Jesus’ tomb, his disciples would no doubt have discussed it and the images on it. However, the Bible says nothing about such a discussion. Should the shroud be venerated? No. Even if it were authentic, venerating it would still be wrong. Consider Bible principles that explain why. 1. It is unnecessary. Jesus explained: “God is a Spirit, and those worshipping him must worship with spirit and truth.” (John 4:24) True worship does not involve the use of religious relics or icons. 2. It is forbidden. The Ten Commandments forbid idolatry. (Deuteronomy 5:6-10) Likewise, the Bible commands Christians: “Guard yourselves from idols.” (1 John 5:21) Some might argue that for them the shroud is not an idol but an icon, or symbol, of their religious faith. However, an icon becomes an idol to the person who venerates it. Therefore, a person who wants to please God will not show devotion or reverence to any object, including the shroud. Scientific analysis of the shroud Since the late 19th century, researchers have tried to use scientific methods to test the authenticity of the shroud. Some of these tests have proven inconclusive. However, in 1988, the Vatican submitted small samples taken from the shroud to three laboratories in different countries.

Jesus hair is shoulder in length not passed medium beard olive colored skin dark eyes Jewish in looks for i have been blessed to have seen him and trembled before him for he is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords
Good video. Except at beginning when you said that noone would feminize Jesus. It was just "random" things. My brother you have a long way to go and alot to learn still if you think anything is random.
Ehh, gotta disagree with some of your interpretations here. I think Jesus Christ probably had short(er) hair than generally depicted but a lot of the religious objections to long hair seem to have been birthed from the Roman culture a few hundred years after Christ and made its way into English translation of the scripture.
I don’t know I was raise Christian but I have doubts I don’t know if religion is true or not did god really exist I believe in god because of Jesus otherwise I wouldn’t believe and know they say Jesus na not long hair
From the scripture we know Jesus had short hair, and looked exactly like everyone else at that time in that part of the world. I believe there is a reason why theres not even one description of His look back then. Simply it does not matter how he looked, because He is not of this world. But we do know how Jesus Christ really looks from Revelation an when He spoke with Moses and Elias. We always turn away from believing through faith to worshipping images. I would not be surprised if false christ will have this feminist face and long hair look. Just think how many people will follow him without even reading the Bible.
Jesus was not attractive, he was probably quite ugly and that was intentional. Isaiah 53:2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is NO BEAUTY that we should desire him.
I think you are wrong my friend !He had long hair and beard according to old scripts that wanted people to focus on their soul mostly while keeping an untidy look. All orthodox monks have long hair and beards following Jesus appearance and the old scripts!I teach the ancient greek language and I am pretty sure he had long hair not only as a Nazarene !
This guy is incorrect. Shroud of turim proves Jesus had hair down to half way down his back. And mens and womens hair grow same speed although ive heard mens hair grows faster.
@@NewLifeOfAlbanyGa i cant seem to find it very sorry. But wanted to say that there is different people saying different things about shroud of turin but I encourage u to find out what the people that really investigated the shroud. The evidence is overwhelming and they also talk about those who say the contrary. That they seem to get wrong samples from shroud on purpose. Very frustrating for the real experts

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When either man or woman shall separate themselves to vow a vow of a Nazarite, to separate themselves unto the LORD: he shall separate himself from wine and strong drink, and shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or dried. All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk. All the days of the vow of his separation there shall *no razor come upon his head* until the days be fulfilled, in the which he separateth himself unto the LORD, he shall be holy, and *shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow* Numbers 6:1-5 KJV
In some cultures they would not cut the sides of their head which is why today you see many Jews with long tassels hanging down the side of their face.... perhaps they are still lost? What the scripture was referring to was not to grieve over a loved one who has passed on from this world where they would strike their heads and pull out hairs in despair. Because man had turned away from the nature of God and become carnal minded, grief is like a birthing pain when their loved one is BORN AGAIN into the Light from where they came, and we as carnal minded earth bound avatars believe they are gone forever, which is not the case.

During his ministry, he traveled many miles. (Matthew 9:35) He cleansed the Jewish temple twice, overturning the tables of money changers, and once drove out livestock with a whip. (Luke 19:45, 46; John 2:14, 15) McClintock and Strong’s Cyclopedia states: “The whole evangelical narrative indicates [Jesus’] sound and vigorous bodily health.”-Volume IV, page 884. ● Facial expressions: Jesus was warm and compassionate, and his facial expressions no doubt reflected this. (Matthew 11:28, 29) People of all sorts sought him out for comfort and help. (Luke 5:12, 13; 7:37, 38) Even children felt at ease in his presence.-Matthew 19:13-15; Mark 9:35-37. Misconceptions about Jesus’ appearance Misconception: Some argue that Jesus must have been of African descent because the book of Revelation compares his hair to wool and his feet to “burnished bronze.”-Revelation 1:14, 15, The New Jerusalem Bible. Fact: The book of Revelation is presented “in signs.” (Revelation 1:1) The description of Jesus’ hair and feet uses symbolic language to illustrate Jesus’ qualities after his resurrection, not to describe his physical appearance when he was on earth. In saying that Jesus’ “head and his hair were white as white wool, as snow,” Revelation 1:14 uses color, not texture, as a point of comparison. This represents his wisdom due to age. (Revelation 3:14) This verse is not comparing the texture of Jesus’ hair to that of wool any more than it is comparing the texture of his hair to that of snow. Jesus’ feet looked “like fine copper when glowing in a furnace.” (Revelation 1:15) Also, his face was “like the sun when it shines at its brightest.” (Revelation 1:16) Since no race has skin color matching these descriptions, this vision must be symbolic, showing the resurrected Jesus as the one “who dwells in unapproachable light.”-1 Timothy 6:16. Misconception: Jesus was weak and frail. Fact: Jesus was manly in his behavior. For example, he boldly identified himself to the armed crowd that came to arrest him. (John 18:4-8) Jesus must also have been physically strong to have worked as a carpenter using manual tools.-Mark 6:3. Why, then, did Jesus need help to carry his torture stake? And why did he die before the others executed with him died? (Luke 23:26; John 19:31-33) Just prior to Jesus’ execution, his body was seriously weakened. He had been up all night, in part because of emotional agony. (Luke 22:42-44) During the night the Jews had mistreated him, and the next morning the Romans had tortured him. (Matthew 26:67, 68; John 19:1-3) Such factors likely hastened his death. Misconception: Jesus was always somber, melancholy. Fact: Jesus perfectly reflected the qualities of his heavenly Father, Jehovah, whom the Bible describes as “the happy God.” (1 Timothy 1:11; John 14:9) In fact, Jesus taught others how to be happy. (Matthew 5:3-9; Luke 11:28) These facts indicate that Jesus often reflected happiness in his facial expressions.
@@achildofthelight4725 A descriptive epithet applied to Jesus and later to his followers. The names Nazarene and Nazirite, are not to be confused, for, though spelled similarly in English, they stem from altogether different Hebrew words with different meanings. Jesus was not a Nazirite, but a Nazarene, frequently Jesus was referred to, in widely scattered places and by all kinds of persons, as the Nazarene. (Mr 1:23, 24; 10:46, 47; 14:66-69; 16:5, 6; Lu 24:13-19; Joh 18:1-7) Jesus himself accepted and used the name. (Joh 18:5-8; Ac 22:6-8) On the sign that Pilate had placed on the torture stake he wrote in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek: “Jesus the Nazarene the King of the Jews.” (Joh 19:19, 20) From Pentecost 33 C.E. forward, the apostles as well as others often spoke of Jesus Christ as the Nazarene or as being from Nazareth.-Ac 2:22; 3:6; 4:10; 6:14; 10:38; 26:9. There were three principal restrictions resting on those taking the Nazirite vow: (1) They were to drink no intoxicating beverage; neither were they to eat any product of the grapevine, whether unripe, ripe, or dried, nor drink any of its juice, whether in the fresh, fermented, or vinegar state. (2) They were not to cut the hair of their heads. (3) They were not to touch a dead body, even that of the closest relative-father, mother, brother, or sister.-Nu 6:1-7. Yet Jesus converted water to wine, for the Joy of the gathered.
Then following Pauls other comments... You are a hypocrite if you allow or speak to women at church! First Corinthians 14:33-35 states, “As in all the congregations of the saints, women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church”
Jesus did not have long hair as apostl Paul said in. A. Corinthians 11:14,15 14 Does not even nature itself teach you, that if a man have long hair, it is an insult to him? 15 But if a woman have long hair, it is to her glory. for his hair is given to him for a covering: Why do we grow old and die? GOD did not want humans to die. Our first parents, Adam and Eve, were created with a perfect mind and body. They could still be alive today. This is clear from what God said to Adam about a tree growing in the garden of Eden. God said to Adam: “The day you eat [from the tree] you will surely die.” - Genesis 2:17. This command would have been meaningless if Adam had been created to grow old and die. Adam knew that if he did not eat from that tree, he would not die. GOD'S PURPOSE WAS NOT THAT PEOPLE DIE. God said to Adam: "Eat your bread with the sweat of your brow until you return to the ground from where you were taken. for you were dust and you will become dust. ”- Genesis 3: 17-19. As a result, “all the days of Adam's life were nine hundred and thirty years and he died.” - Genesis 5: 5. Adam did not go to heaven or hell. Or live in a spiritual realm. What is the Resurrection? The Bible's answer In the Bible, the Greek word translated "resurrection" means "to stand" or "to restore." The resurrected person is resurrected from the dead and is the same person who was before. - 1 Corinthians 15:12, 13. It is true that the word "resurrection" is not found in the Hebrew Scriptures, which are known as the Old Testament, but the promise of resurrection is there. For example, through the prophet Hosea, God promised: “I will rescue them from the hand of the grave, and I will rescue them from death.” - Hosea 13:14; Job 14: 13-15; Isaiah 26:19; Daniel 12: 2, 13. Where will people be resurrected? Some people will be resurrected to live in heaven. There they will reign with Jesus Christ. - 2 Corinthians 5: 1; Revelation 5: 9, 10. The Bible calls this resurrection "the first resurrection" and the word "first" makes it clear that there will be another resurrection. - Revelation 20: 6. That other resurrection will be for the living on earth, and most of the dead will be resurrected in this way. - Psalm 37:29. How are the dead raised? God gave Jesus the power to resurrect the dead. - John 11:25. Jesus will bring to life “all those in the memorial tombs,” each with his own personality, attributes, and memories. - John 5:28, 29. Some will be resurrected to live in heaven, while others will be resurrected to live on earth with perfect and healthy bodies. - Isaiah 33:24; 35: 5, 6. 1 Corinthians 15: 42-44, 50 They multiply priests and saints with sad faces pile up, perform miracles, cast out demons. But Jesus said, The tree is known by its fruit. THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MATTHEW 7: 21-23: 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and did many miracles in your name?' 23 Then i will tell them plainly that I did not know you at all. Get away from me, you workers of iniquity. Matthew 7: 15-20 15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 By their fruits ye shall know them. Do they gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles? 17 So every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; and an evil tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Ye shall know them by their fruits. B. LETTER TO CORINTHIANS (Paul) 11: 13-15: 13 For such are the apostles, liars, deceitful workers, impersonating the apostles of Christ. 14 And it is not surprising. because Satan also takes the form of a bright angel. 15 Wherefore, it is not a great thing that his ministers should be likened unto the ministers of righteousness. Their end will be in proportion to their deeds. 4: 4. In whom is the god of this world? (Satan) blinded the minds of the unbelievers, that the light of the glory of the gospel of Christ might not shine upon them, which is the image of God. Eternal life is a free gift from God. The eternal punishment is not righteousness because how many years can a person live at most? Here, eternal punishment means eternal death. God is Love! Bible answers Ecclesiastes 3:19,20 19 for there is an outcome for humans and an outcome for animals,they all have the same outcome. As the one dies, so the other dies, and they all have but one life. So man has no superiority over animals, for everything is futile. 20 All are going to the same place. They all come from the dust, and they all are returning to the dust. John 3:13 13 Moreover, no man has ascended into heaven, but the one who descended from heaven, the Son of man. John 5:28,29 28 Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment. Psalm 37:29 29 The righteous will possess the earth, And they will live forever on it! it's clear A. LETTER TO TIMOTHY 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men,the man Christ Jesus! Mattew 24:36 36 “Concerning that day and hour nobody knows,neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father. Mattew 23:8-10 8 But be not ye called teachers. for one is your Teacher, even Christ. 9 You are all brothers. And call no man father (Spiritual all leader etc.)upon the earth. for one is Father, which is in heaven.10 And be not ye called masters. for one is your Master, even Christ... ua-cam.com/video/Oo9ytCWBYSw/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/K98ziVX7AHo/v-deo.html
Jdg 13:5 for behold, you shall conceive and bear a son. No razor shall come upon his head, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb, and he shall begin to save Israel from the hand of the Philistines. Jdg 13:24 And the woman bore a son and called his name Samson. And the young man grew, and the LORD blessed him.
The book of Judges and the book of Kings are to show you their failure, because the israelites chose judges and king over gods judgments just as adam and eve did in the garden! Samson's hair has nothing to do with the son of man, who was not a failure!
@@NewLifeOfAlbanyGa NO, Jesus did not have long hair, and neither was the son of God puny, skinny, weak, short, homeless looking, dirty, etcetera, Jesus was a perfect man, son of the all mighty God. The movies depict Jesus with a very degrading, and awful appearance, even when in the preach work, how disgusting. ● Features: Jesus was a Jew and likely inherited common Semitic traits from his mother. (Hebrews 7:14) It is unlikely that his features were especially distinctive. On one occasion he was able to travel in secret from Galilee to Jerusalem without being recognized. (John 7:10, 11) And he apparently did not stand out even among his closest disciples.

@Baki Misa What difference does it make whether they were founded in the 1800's or in the year 2027? Jehovah's Witnesses are the kind of people not to smoke, drink, or pick up a weapon to kill somebody. A person has to be blind not to see they're the truth.
Jesus never claimed to be God, and there are many of scriptures that show Jesus is not God, but the son of God, Jesus always remained modest, always directing all glory to his Father: “Why do you call me good? Nobody is good, except one, God.” “The Son cannot do a single thing of his own initiative.” “I seek, not my own will, but the will of him that sent me.”-Luke 18:18, 19; John 5:19, 30; 8:46; 14:6. In the book of Revelation the glorified Lord Jesus Christ repeatedly speaks of his Father as “my God.” At Revelation 3:12, for example, we read: “The one that conquers-I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will by no means go out from it anymore, and I will write upon him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem which descends out of heaven from my God, and that new name of mine.” This is in full harmony with Jesus’ earlier statement to Mary Magdalene: “I am ascending to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God.”-John 20:17, When Jesus responded to Satan, it is Jehovah you God that you should worship!!! he did not say it is me you should worship. The New Encyclopædia Britannica says: “Neither the word Trinity, nor the explicit doctrine as such, appears in the New Testament, nor did Jesus and his followers intend to contradict the Shema in the Old Testament: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord’ (Deut. 6:4). . . . The doctrine developed gradually over several centuries and through many controversies. . . . By the end of the 4th century . . . the doctrine of the Trinity took substantially the form it has maintained ever since.”-(1976), Micropædia, Vol. X, p. 126. The New Catholic Encyclopedia states: “The formulation ‘one God in three Persons’ was not solidly established, certainly not fully assimilated into Christian life and its profession of faith, prior to the end of the 4th century. But it is precisely this formulation that has first claim to the title the Trinitarian dogma. Among the Apostolic Fathers, there had been nothing even remotely approaching such a mentality or perspective.”-(1967), Vol. XIV, p. 299. In The Encyclopedia Americana we read: “Christianity derived from Judaism and Judaism was strictly Unitarian [believing that God is one person]. The road which led from Jerusalem to Nicea was scarcely a straight one. Fourth century Trinitarianism did not reflect accurately early Christian teaching regarding the nature of God; it was, on the contrary, a deviation from this teaching.”-(1956), Vol. XXVII, p. 294L. According to the Nouveau Dictionnaire Universel, “The Platonic trinity, itself merely a rearrangement of older trinities dating back to earlier peoples, appears to be the rational philosophic trinity of attributes that gave birth to the three hypostases or divine persons taught by the Christian churches. . . . This Greek philosopher’s [Plato, fourth century B.C.E.] conception of the divine trinity . . . can be found in all the ancient [pagan] religions.”-(Paris, 1865-1870), edited by M. Lachâtre, Vol. 2, p. 1467. John L. McKenzie, S.J., in his Dictionary of the Bible, says: “The trinity of persons within the unity of nature is defined in terms of ‘person’ and ‘nature’ which are G[ree]k philosophical terms; actually the terms do not appear in the Bible. The trinitarian definitions arose as the result of long controversies in which these terms and others such as ‘essence’ and ‘substance’ were erroneously applied to God by some theologians.”-(New York, 1965), p. 899.
Amen! Not only did Jesus have short hair but Jesus was not attractive, he was probably quite ugly to the eye, and that was intentional. Isaiah 53:2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is NO BEAUTY that we should desire him.
Pastor Steve, I must ask the same question: what has convinced you so? I'm an astronautical engineer and I've studied the shroud on and off over the years, motivated originally by my salvation experience which was triggered by the shroud. Granted there is a plethora of wacky takes on the shroud out there, but may I recommend the publication "The Shroud of Turin: A Critical Summary of Observations, Data, and Hypotheses" by Dr. John Jackson, the physicist who led the team of scientists to Italy for the original investigation in 1978. The results of the physics applied to the shroud are to say the least fascinating, and modern science remains unable to explain the shroud's origin, let alone duplicate it. The issue concerning carbon dating is problematic, with a variety of possibilities for the 1260 to 1390 date. Anyhow, it seems to me that stating with certainty that it's a hoax is a claim that would require scientific backing, and from what I've seen the contrary is more likely. But, as I've said, it's fascinating, and if you have a link to your video on the shroud, I'd love to see it! Thanks!!
My first non-scientific red flag that it wasn't real/of Jesus is that the shroud looked like Michaelangelo -- and the rests -- *paintings.* Lol. Huge clue. Another non-scientific clue is that there is no evidence presented that it was of/could be of Jesus...aside from the fact that it looked like the umpteen paintings that depict what those artists wanted him to look like...
I am a graduate and scholar from the University of Oxford United Kingdom, ranking # 1 in the world as we stand, and I have a masters degree, and Professor in Theology, Divinity & Religious Studies for over 30 years, I understand the original Hebrew, also to include a scholarship in the Traditional Greek( KOINE) language in which Paul spoke and understood. The Shroud of Turin is not mentioned in the Bible. It is a linen sheet thought by many to be the burial cloth of Jesus Christ. As a result of this belief, the shroud is considered by some to be one of Christendom’s most sacred relics. A cathedral in Turin, Italy, now houses the shroud in a high-tech protective casing. Do Bible accounts support the idea that the Shroud of Turin is genuine? No. Consider three aspects of the shroud that differ from what the Bible says. 1. The shroud is a single cloth measuring 442 by 113 centimeters (14 ft 6 in. by 3 ft 8 in.) plus an 8-centimeter (3 in.) strip sewed lengthwise. What the Bible says: Jesus’ dead body was wrapped, not in one piece of linen, but in multiple strips of cloth. His head was wrapped in a separate cloth. After Jesus was resurrected, one of his apostles came to the empty tomb and “saw the linen cloths lying there.” The Bible adds: “The cloth that had been on his head was not lying with the other cloth bands but was rolled up in a place by itself.”-John 20:6, 7. 2. The shroud contains markings presumed to be bloodstains from an unwashed corpse. What the Bible says: When Jesus died, his disciples prepared his body “according to the burial custom of the Jews.” (John 19:39-42) This custom included washing the corpse and applying oils and spices to it before burial. (Matthew 26:12; Acts 9:37) Therefore, Jesus’ disciples would have washed his body before wrapping it in cloths. 3. The shroud bears the image of a man “laid lengthwise along one half of the shroud while the other half had been doubled over the head to cover the whole front of the body,” according to the Encyclopædia Britannica. What the Bible says: Jesus’ disciples discussed his death, his empty tomb, and the eyewitness testimony of women who saw “a supernatural sight of angels, who said he is alive.” (Luke 24:15-24) If the shroud had been in Jesus’ tomb, his disciples would no doubt have discussed it and the images on it. However, the Bible says nothing about such a discussion. Should the shroud be venerated? No. Even if it were authentic, venerating it would still be wrong. Consider Bible principles that explain why. 1. It is unnecessary. Jesus explained: “God is a Spirit, and those worshipping him must worship with spirit and truth.” (John 4:24) True worship does not involve the use of religious relics or icons. 2. It is forbidden. The Ten Commandments forbid idolatry. (Deuteronomy 5:6-10) Likewise, the Bible commands Christians: “Guard yourselves from idols.” (1 John 5:21) Some might argue that for them the shroud is not an idol but an icon, or symbol, of their religious faith. However, an icon becomes an idol to the person who venerates it. Therefore, a person who wants to please God will not show devotion or reverence to any object, including the shroud. Scientific analysis of the shroud Since the late 19th century, researchers have tried to use scientific methods to test the authenticity of the shroud. Some of these tests have proven inconclusive. However, in 1988, the Vatican submitted small samples taken from the shroud to three laboratories in different countries. After the laboratories subjected the samples to radiocarbon dating, each one concluded that the shroud was from the 13th or 14th century.
You are completely off bases and your video pretty much laughable. You haven't really given any evidence other than quoting obscure scriptures taken out of context. Many lions in nature have long hair aka know as a mane, thus disproving your verse taken out of context. Jesus is the Lion of Judah and the verse describing long hair like a woman is not how Jesus had it. Then on top of this trying to discredit the Shroud of Turin with this proves that you have not studied anything about the Shroud. The Shroud does not show a man with long hair like a woman. The Shroud of Turin is the real image of Christ to the doubting Thomas's of the world and it proves without a shadow of a doubt that Jesus existed, that he died on the cross and that he resurrected just as the Bible claims. There is no other relic like it in the world and the image created as he was resurrecting and even has 3d properties. Also, let me point out another fact that you seem to not know. Man and woman's hairs grow at about the same rate and you might see a small difference depending on the nutrients that you feed your body. Again your video is pointless, you sure convinced the gullible.
@Graham Thomson You are a moron plain and simple. You didn't prove anything in your post other than yap some nonsense about pope having long hair. Prove the Shroud a fake since many have tried and continue to fail.
Sorry, but there are so many “UPC culturally correct” assumptions and falsehoods in this video. This is definitely drinking the koolaid! And I don’t even like long hair on men. I think Jesus is sad about this one. I had to stop listening about halfway through.
Matthew 24:4 I heard enough to get the gist and the assumptions. With all due respect, I appreciate this pastor and usually agree with him. Not this time, sorry.

Fact: Jesus perfectly reflected the qualities of his heavenly Father, Jehovah, whom the Bible describes as “the happy God.” (1 Timothy 1:11; John 14:9) In fact, Jesus taught others how to be happy. (Matthew 5:3-9; Luke 11:28) These facts indicate that Jesus often reflected happiness in his facial expressions.
Jesus was our High Priest and the biblical interpretation of a High Priest is in
Leviticus 19:27 and Ezekiel 44:20. They had sideburns, short beards and were
not to let their locks go long.
Thank you, I agree. I have heard others say it was because he was a Nazarite. But you bring up a good point about being a Nazarene. We can read of His description in Rev.1. But I don't want to split hairs over the issue. :)
I think its pretty self explanitory.
"The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me"
Therefore, in jesus' day, he was most likely "despised" (Isaiah 53) for not having short hair like males did back then.
@@bz3086 only the Romans and the Greeks had short hair at the time of our beautiful Savior Yeshua HaMashiach.
What do you think about Faustina Kowalska vision about Jesus(Divine Mercy)?... Where Jesus said to her that someone should paint him just a way she had seen him.
But Faustina was crying after painting was done because Jesus was not as beautiful as she had seen him, but Jesus said that it's not in the beauty of the paint but in the grace of the picture... 😊
I never saw John as an old man and bald. I always saw long hair and young. I was born Catholic and paintings were very common for me. I even went to Catholic school and never saw John like that.
The Bible implies everyone had long hair. Jesus is the lion of Judah, he is the Son of Man (long-haired Ezekiel), he blended in with everyone (only the rich could cut their hair), he is identified with Adam (Adam was a long-haired, long-bearded guy, no iron to cut hair with, so he had to wait for his son, and by then, he probably was excited to maybe trim things a little bit). There's a lot more.
Jesus wasn't a Nazarite explicitly in the Bible, however it is worth nothing that some people have interpreted the Last Supper, where he says he will not "touch the fruit of the vine," as implying that he was taking a vow that he wasn't cutting his hair anymore from that moment until whenever that verse is supposed to be fulfilled. However, many say that he actually did drink the vinegar, but I think Jesus satisfied all the other conditions of a vow, apart from the vinegar drinking (he didn't touch dead bodies from the Last Supper to his death, I don't think). That being said, just because he wasn't a Nazarite or didn't make the Nazarite vow ever, doesn't mean he had short hair, you could have long hair down to your shoulders and not be a Nazarite, which is what most people did back then. It's not like you can say, "he's not a Nazarite," hence he has short hair. Being a Nazarite means a person doesn't cut for a set period of time, so it's the difference between not cutting ever, versus, getting the polled once a year. Also, Judas couldn't identify him by his long hair, 'cause it was just a bunch of long-haired dudes bobbing their heads around, including the bystanders. He couldn't just say "that guy with the short hair of Caesar."
Not to mention, Acts mentions Paul with long hair in Corinth. The Corinthians would have probably started a vow upon hearing "be ye followers of me" (1 Corinthians 11:1). Let the long-hair menning and shaven-haired womenning begin, said the Corinthians.
You know this entire post is filled with errors. Ezekiel had long hair? They had needles in the Garden of Eden, why not iron? Jesus said anymore partake of the cup. He was called a winebibber. I could go on but you get the point. God bless!
@@NewLifeOfAlbanyGa you are stating that our beautiful Savior was a winebibber while calling yourself a pastor at the same time? Blasphemy! Stop misleading your poor flock!
It was the Pharisees, our Savior's enemies who called him winebibber, the one who crucified him.
Our beautiful Savior was drinking a fermented grape juice, made with a good kind of fermentation, made similarly like making sauerkraut, not alcohol, juice that people in the Middle East and Eastern Europe still know how to make.
@@healingrays3229 He wasn't saying that Jesus was a winebibber, he was saying he was called a winebibber. Matthew 11:19 and Luke 7:34. I'm sure you know this already, so why the hostility? Speak from the Holy Spirit and not your own. This whole internet "correcting" is getting out of hand. The anti-christ spirit is stronger now than ever.

@@woodtick7798 projecting? Take your own advice.
@@healingrays3229 My point exactly! Glad you got it.
I was reading The Bible And I was thinking Jesus could not contradict himself By saying a man Having long hair Is a shame of himself A woman should have long hair to cover Her head And a man should have his hair short or shaved not long
According to the old scripts of the Holy Bible people had to keep an untidy look by focusing more in their souls !Women had really plain long hair to cover their bodies and men above or in their shoulders!So most orthodox monks following that order have long hair and long beards like Jesus had !Some other monks follow the new scripts that men should have short hair! When I asked my father's sister who is an orthodox noun she told me that Jesus is like pictures!Even people that had a vision of Jesus say that he looked like the orthodox pictures!We don't know for sure and personally Iam graving to see Him!Greeting from Greece!

The letter from Pontius Pilate to Tiberius Caesar
This is a reprinting of a letter from Pontius Pilate to Tiberius Caesar describing the physical appearance of Jesus. Copies are in the Congressional Library in Washington, D.C.
TO TIBERIUS CAESAR:
A young man appeared in Galilee preaching with humble unction, a new law in the Name of the God that had sent Him. At first I was apprehensive that His design was to stir up the people against the Romans, but my fears were soon dispelled. Jesus of Nazareth spoke rather as a friend of the Romans than of the Jews. One day I observed in the midst of a group of people a young man who was leaning against a tree, calmly addressing the multitude. I was told it was Jesus. This I could easily have suspected so great was the difference between Him and those who were listening to Him. His golden colored hair and beard gave to his appearance a celestial aspect. He appeared to be about 30 years of age. Never have I seen a sweeter or more serene countenance. What a contrast between Him and His bearers with their black beards and tawny complexions! Unwilling to interrupt Him by my presence, I continued my walk but signified to my secretary to join the group and listen. Later, my secretary reported that never had he seen in the works of all the philosophers anything that compared to the teachings of Jesus. He told me that Jesus was neither seditious nor rebellious, so we extended to Him our protection. He was at liberty to act, to speak, to assemble and to address the people. This unlimited freedom provoked the Jews -- not the poor but the rich and powerful.
Later, I wrote to Jesus requesting an interview with Him at the Praetorium. He came. When the Nazarene made His appearance I was having my morning walk and as I faced Him my feet seemed fastened with an iron hand to the marble pavement and I trembled in every limb as a guilty culprit, though he was calm. For some time I stood admiring this extraordinary Man. There was nothing in Him that was repelling, nor in His character, yet I felt awed in His presence. I told Him that there was a magnetic simplicity about Him and His personality that elevated Him far above the philosophers and teachers of His day.
Now, Noble Sovereign, these are the facts concerning Jesus of Nazareth and I have taken the time to write you in detail concerning these matters. I say that such a man who could convert water into wine, change death into life, disease into health; calm the stormy seas, is not guilty of any criminal offense and as others have said, we must agree -- truly this is the Son of God.
Your most obedient servant,
Pontius Pilate
The Emerald of Caesar
The Likeness of Jesus
This Likeness of Jesus was copied from a portrait carved on an emerald by order of Tiberius Caesar, which emerald the Emperor of the Turks afterwards gave out of the Treasury of Constantinople to Pope Innocent VIII for the redemption of his brother, taken captive by the Christians > facebook.com/KahunaguruHunapuliAlii/photos/pb.100063662694066.-2207520000./1220243441361577/?type=3
In those days how likely was a man to get a haircut regularly?did they even have barbers
They did
NO, Jesus did not have long hair, and neither was the son of God puny, skinny, weak, short, homeless looking, dirty, etcetera, Jesus was a perfect man, son of the all mighty God. The movies depict Jesus with a very degrading, and awful appearance, even when in the preach work, how disgusting. ● Features: Jesus was a Jew and likely inherited common Semitic traits from his mother. (Hebrews 7:14) It is unlikely that his features were especially distinctive. On one occasion he was able to travel in secret from Galilee to Jerusalem without being recognized. (John 7:10, 11) And he apparently did not stand out even among his closest disciples. Recall that Judas Iscariot had to identify Jesus to the armed crowd that arrested him.-Matthew 26:47-49.
● Hair length: It is unlikely that Jesus’ hair was long, because the Bible says that “long hair is a dishonor to a man.”-1 Corinthians 11:14.
● Beard: Jesus wore a beard. He followed Jewish law, which prohibited adult males from ‘disfiguring the edges of their beard.’ (Leviticus 19:27; Galatians 4:4) Also, the Bible mentions Jesus’ beard in a prophecy about his suffering.-Isaiah 50:6.
● Body: All indications are that Jesus was physically robust. During his ministry, he traveled many miles. (Matthew 9:35) He cleansed the Jewish temple twice, overturning the tables of money changers, and once drove out livestock with a whip. (Luke 19:45, 46; John 2:14, 15) McClintock and Strong’s Cyclopedia states: “The whole evangelical narrative indicates [Jesus’] sound and vigorous bodily health.”-Volume IV, page 884.
● Facial expressions: Jesus was warm and compassionate, and his facial expressions no doubt reflected this. (Matthew 11:28, 29) People of all sorts sought him out for comfort and help. (Luke 5:12, 13; 7:37, 38) Even children felt at ease in his presence.-Matthew 19:13-15; Mark 9:35-37.
Misconceptions about Jesus’ appearance
Misconception: Some argue that Jesus must have been of African descent because the book of Revelation compares his hair to wool and his feet to “burnished bronze.”-Revelation 1:14, 15, The New Jerusalem Bible.
Fact: The book of Revelation is presented “in signs.” (Revelation 1:1) The description of Jesus’ hair and feet uses symbolic language to illustrate Jesus’ qualities after his resurrection, not to describe his physical appearance when he was on earth. In saying that Jesus’ “head and his hair were white as white wool, as snow,” Revelation 1:14 uses color, not texture, as a point of comparison. This represents his wisdom due to age. (Revelation 3:14) This verse is not comparing the texture of Jesus’ hair to that of wool any more than it is comparing the texture of his hair to that of snow.
Jesus’ feet looked “like fine copper when glowing in a furnace.” (Revelation 1:15) Also, his face was “like the sun when it shines at its brightest.” (Revelation 1:16) Since no race has skin color matching these descriptions, this vision must be symbolic, showing the resurrected Jesus as the one “who dwells in unapproachable light.”-1 Timothy 6:16.
Misconception: Jesus was weak and frail.
Fact: Jesus was manly in his behavior. For example, he boldly identified himself to the armed crowd that came to arrest him. (John 18:4-8) Jesus must also have been physically strong to have worked as a carpenter using manual tools.-Mark 6:3.
Why, then, did Jesus need help to carry his torture stake? And why did he die before the others executed with him died? (Luke 23:26; John 19:31-33) Just prior to Jesus’ execution, his body was seriously weakened. He had been up all night, in part because of emotional agony. (Luke 22:42-44) During the night the Jews had mistreated him, and the next morning the Romans had tortured him. (Matthew 26:67, 68; John 19:1-3) Such factors likely hastened his death.
Misconception: Jesus was always somber, melancholy.
Fact: Jesus perfectly reflected the qualities of his heavenly Father, Jehovah, whom the Bible describes as “the happy God.” (1 Timothy 1:11; John 14:9) In fact, Jesus taught others how to be happy. (Matthew 5:3-9; Luke 11:28) These facts indicate that Jesus often reflected happiness in his facial expressions.
Pastor Steve, I am so saddened by your response to this question. I can almost always find some level of agreement with you... But not this time. I don't know of any Biblical description of Jesus other than Rev. 1:14-15 and Isaiah 53:2. Maybe you can direct me to others. But these two certainly don't give us insight into His hair length. So for us to take such a strong stance without evidence makes for very dangerous footing.
And then to back it up with an absolute scientific "fact" that women's hair grows twice as fast as mens hair, I can only ask for your sources. I cannot find a single scientific study that supports your claim. But I there are plenty of research papers that seem to disprove your statement.
Please be careful Steve. You have a large influence. Don't lose you credibility by being so dogmatic on such a non-issue as the length of Jesus' hair.
I got it from a Jill Jasinski book years ago, and it seemed well documented.
rob fisher - of course Jesus had short hair. Jesus would never bring shame to himself by having long hair.
Don't get distracted by women's rate of growth vs men's rate of growth. I'm black, and I know that black hair doesn't not grow/grows slower -- which some black people erroneously believe. Our hair is tightly coiled/curled resulting in less sebum along the whole shaft, which makes it easily breakable, so we have to be careful in how we handle it if we want it to grow Rapunzel-long. But none of the preceding is relevant or the point.
*The point, is there is a glaring ommission in your recitation of scriptures: **_1 Corinthians _**_11:14_**_ said "Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a ShAmE unto him?"_* It actually doesn't even matter what Paul meant by "nature" _(though it is interesting to delve into that);_ God is not the author of confusion, nor is he a hypocrite/liar. *If the scripture said men aren't to have long hair that means Jesus didn't have long hair...*
@@Matthew24.4 Seems you might have missed my point. Jesus' hair length is a mom issue to me. The point I was trying to make is dogmatism drives people away from the Good News.
Read all of scripture in context without bias please.
You gave me something to study on as far as a goat 🐐 tea ☕️
He lost me on that whole idea….that’s the problem when you pick and choose your historical interpretations and decide to remove all context and original text from translations and interpretation. This guy must have stopped on his 110 classes of divinity.
Are pentecostal men permitted to grow beards and also ive heard the men don't hug the women during fellowship being a Baptist I am fascinated by the pentecostal movement especially laying on hands and faith healing and the like
Those two items differ from congregation to congregation.
@NewLifeOfAlbanyGa OK thanks I was just curious
@@dustinjarnigan515 No problem!
First he said Jesus said in Corinthians. Jesus has nothing to do with the book of Corinthians as it was written by paul
John 12, in reality Jesus wrote the entire Bible being God thru inspiration. But not going back and watching the video, I certainly could have misspoke.
I have noticed that picture of Jesus is showing up with short hair and a beard and not what you see hanging in homes and churches with Jesus with long hair and long beard
I think you right I don't think Jesus had long hair
2 things we have to remember. 1. There was no electricity back then. No clippers. Jesus couldn't have had 'white sidewalls'. 2. There were no scissors either so the only way to trim hair was with a knife or to completely shave the head. Jesus did not have long hair but he didn't have western defined short hair either.
In Ezekiel, what did it mean to poll your hair?
How does all of the coinage and statuary have men with haircuts?
@@NewLifeOfAlbanyGa The hair length depicted by art work varies by culture and date. Greco-Roman men have trimmed hair. Other cultures show longer but not long hair on men. A Jewish man in biblical times would have hair that was shorter than a Jewish woman but not as short as a modern white person. He could poll his hair (lop off the ends with a knife) but he didn't have modern tonsorial tools to do a trim like is possible today. Note that paintings of King James show him to have had shoulder length hair. The bible doesn't define long or short but rather that there be a contrast.
That's a large assumption to claim they didn't have scissors. Actually, spring scissors are thought to date back to 1500 BC. The Roman empire was an advanced civilization not a bunch of cavemen. Have you ever seen a sculpture of Julius Ceaser?
@@Abelmusic - Modern scissors were invented around 100 AD. You didn't cut hair with spring scissors. Julius Caesar was either bald or nearly bald and probably wore a wig. The point is that a man wearing white sidewalls is a fairly recent phenomenon and certainly wasn't the norm in 1st century Palestine.
You don't believe they had any *cutting instruments* back then?? Smh..
I knew that when i was that Jesus has short hair because my Father taught me and my father is a pastor too
And the one that has long hair is not actually Jesus, it was the thief who has long
Short hair throughout all of human history was shoulder length or shorter. Shaved or closely shaven hair like what most men wear today would have indicated you were a slave. Long hair was length of a womans hair which was tailbone length or longer. You are conflating modern hairstyles with what was the norm for all of human history. So yes Jesus would have had shoulder length or shorter but it would have been to his chin at least or he would have been considered a slave....
Jesus had long hair...the proof is in the Shroud
I’ve done a debunking of the Shroud.
@@NewLifeOfAlbanyGa and I am a graduate and scholar from the University of Oxford United Kingdom, ranking # 1 in the world as we stand, and I have a masters degree, and Professor in Theology, Divinity & Religious Studies for over 30 years, I understand the original Hebrew, also to include a scholarship in the Traditional Greek( KOINE) language in which Paul spoke and understood. The Shroud of Turin is not mentioned in the Bible. It is a linen sheet thought by many to be the burial cloth of Jesus Christ. As a result of this belief, the shroud is considered by some to be one of Christendom’s most sacred relics. A cathedral in Turin, Italy, now houses the shroud in a high-tech protective casing.
Do Bible accounts support the idea that the Shroud of Turin is genuine? No.
Consider three aspects of the shroud that differ from what the Bible says.
1. The shroud is a single cloth measuring 442 by 113 centimeters (14 ft 6 in. by 3 ft 8 in.) plus an 8-centimeter (3 in.) strip sewed lengthwise.
What the Bible says: Jesus’ dead body was wrapped, not in one piece of linen, but in multiple strips of cloth. His head was wrapped in a separate cloth. After Jesus was resurrected, one of his apostles came to the empty tomb and “saw the linen cloths lying there.” The Bible adds: “The cloth that had been on his head was not lying with the other cloth bands but was rolled up in a place by itself.”-John 20:6, 7.
2. The shroud contains markings presumed to be bloodstains from an unwashed corpse.
What the Bible says: When Jesus died, his disciples prepared his body “according to the burial custom of the Jews.” (John 19:39-42) This custom included washing the corpse and applying oils and spices to it before burial. (Matthew 26:12; Acts 9:37) Therefore, Jesus’ disciples would have washed his body before wrapping it in cloths.
3. The shroud bears the image of a man “laid lengthwise along one half of the shroud while the other half had been doubled over the head to cover the whole front of the body,” according to the Encyclopædia Britannica.
What the Bible says: Jesus’ disciples discussed his death, his empty tomb, and the eyewitness testimony of women who saw “a supernatural sight of angels, who said he is alive.” (Luke 24:15-24) If the shroud had been in Jesus’ tomb, his disciples would no doubt have discussed it and the images on it. However, the Bible says nothing about such a discussion.
Should the shroud be venerated?
No. Even if it were authentic, venerating it would still be wrong. Consider Bible principles that explain why.
1. It is unnecessary. Jesus explained: “God is a Spirit, and those worshipping him must worship with spirit and truth.” (John 4:24) True worship does not involve the use of religious relics or icons.
2. It is forbidden. The Ten Commandments forbid idolatry. (Deuteronomy 5:6-10) Likewise, the Bible commands Christians: “Guard yourselves from idols.” (1 John 5:21) Some might argue that for them the shroud is not an idol but an icon, or symbol, of their religious faith. However, an icon becomes an idol to the person who venerates it. Therefore, a person who wants to please God will not show devotion or reverence to any object, including the shroud.
Scientific analysis of the shroud
Since the late 19th century, researchers have tried to use scientific methods to test the authenticity of the shroud. Some of these tests have proven inconclusive. However, in 1988, the Vatican submitted small samples taken from the shroud to three laboratories in different countries. After the laboratories subjected the samples to radiocarbon dating, each one concluded that the shroud was from the 13th or 14th century.

Good video. Except at beginning when you said that noone would feminize Jesus. It was just "random" things. My brother you have a long way to go and alot to learn still if you think anything is random.
Ehh, gotta disagree with some of your interpretations here. I think Jesus Christ probably had short(er) hair than generally depicted but a lot of the religious objections to long hair seem to have been birthed from the Roman culture a few hundred years after Christ and made its way into English translation of the scripture.
You mean the Roman Empire?
I don’t know I was raise Christian but I have doubts I don’t know if religion is true or not did god really exist I believe in god because of Jesus otherwise I wouldn’t believe and know they say Jesus na not long hair
I’ve got some videos on proofs for God’s existence. I also do a podcast on Biblical archaeology showing the Bible is true.
From the scripture we know Jesus had short hair, and looked exactly like everyone else at that time in that part of the world. I believe there is a reason why theres not even one description of His look back then. Simply it does not matter how he looked, because He is not of this world. But we do know how Jesus Christ really looks from Revelation an when He spoke with Moses and Elias.
We always turn away from believing through faith to worshipping images.
I would not be surprised if false christ will have this feminist face and long hair look. Just think how many people will follow him without even reading the Bible.
Jesus was not attractive, he was probably quite ugly and that was intentional.
Isaiah 53:2
For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is NO BEAUTY that we should desire him.
I think you are wrong my friend !He had long hair and beard according to old scripts that wanted people to focus on their soul mostly while keeping an untidy look.
All orthodox monks have long hair and beards following Jesus appearance
and the old scripts!I teach the ancient greek language and I am pretty sure he had long hair not only as a Nazarene !
This guy is incorrect. Shroud of turim proves Jesus had hair down to half way down his back. And mens and womens hair grow same speed although ive heard mens hair grows faster.
I have also done a video debunking the Shroud of Turin also my friend.

After the laboratories subjected the samples to radiocarbon dating, each one concluded that the shroud was from the 13th or 14th century.
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When either man or woman shall separate themselves to vow a vow of a Nazarite, to separate themselves unto the LORD: he shall separate himself from wine and strong drink, and shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or dried. All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk. All the days of the vow of his separation there shall *no razor come upon his head* until the days be fulfilled, in the which he separateth himself unto the LORD, he shall be holy, and *shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow*
Numbers 6:1-5 KJV
In some cultures they would not cut the sides of their head which is why today you see many Jews with long tassels hanging down the side of their face.... perhaps they are still lost? What the scripture was referring to was not to grieve over a loved one who has passed on from this world where they would strike their heads and pull out hairs in despair. Because man had turned away from the nature of God and become carnal minded, grief is like a birthing pain when their loved one is BORN AGAIN into the Light from where they came, and we as carnal minded earth bound avatars believe they are gone forever, which is not the case.
Right. Jesus wasn’t a Nazarite, but a Nazarene.
NO, Jesus did not have long hair, and neither was the son of God puny, skinny, weak, short, homeless looking, dirty, etcetera, Jesus was a perfect man, son of the all mighty God. The movies depict Jesus with a very degrading, and awful appearance, even when in the preach work, how disgusting. ● Features: Jesus was a Jew and likely inherited common Semitic traits from his mother. (Hebrews 7:14) It is unlikely that his features were especially distinctive. On one occasion he was able to travel in secret from Galilee to Jerusalem without being recognized. (John 7:10, 11) And he apparently did not stand out even among his closest disciples. Recall that Judas Iscariot had to identify Jesus to the armed crowd that arrested him.-Matthew 26:47-49.
● Hair length: It is unlikely that Jesus’ hair was long, because the Bible says that “long hair is a dishonor to a man.”-1 Corinthians 11:14.
● Beard: Jesus wore a beard. He followed Jewish law, which prohibited adult males from ‘disfiguring the edges of their beard.’ (Leviticus 19:27; Galatians 4:4) Also, the Bible mentions Jesus’ beard in a prophecy about his suffering.-Isaiah 50:6.
● Body: All indications are that Jesus was physically robust. During his ministry, he traveled many miles. (Matthew 9:35) He cleansed the Jewish temple twice, overturning the tables of money changers, and once drove out livestock with a whip. (Luke 19:45, 46; John 2:14, 15) McClintock and Strong’s Cyclopedia states: “The whole evangelical narrative indicates [Jesus’] sound and vigorous bodily health.”-Volume IV, page 884.
● Facial expressions: Jesus was warm and compassionate, and his facial expressions no doubt reflected this. (Matthew 11:28, 29) People of all sorts sought him out for comfort and help. (Luke 5:12, 13; 7:37, 38) Even children felt at ease in his presence.-Matthew 19:13-15; Mark 9:35-37.
Misconceptions about Jesus’ appearance
Misconception: Some argue that Jesus must have been of African descent because the book of Revelation compares his hair to wool and his feet to “burnished bronze.”-Revelation 1:14, 15, The New Jerusalem Bible.
Fact: The book of Revelation is presented “in signs.” (Revelation 1:1) The description of Jesus’ hair and feet uses symbolic language to illustrate Jesus’ qualities after his resurrection, not to describe his physical appearance when he was on earth. In saying that Jesus’ “head and his hair were white as white wool, as snow,” Revelation 1:14 uses color, not texture, as a point of comparison. This represents his wisdom due to age. (Revelation 3:14) This verse is not comparing the texture of Jesus’ hair to that of wool any more than it is comparing the texture of his hair to that of snow.
Jesus’ feet looked “like fine copper when glowing in a furnace.” (Revelation 1:15) Also, his face was “like the sun when it shines at its brightest.” (Revelation 1:16) Since no race has skin color matching these descriptions, this vision must be symbolic, showing the resurrected Jesus as the one “who dwells in unapproachable light.”-1 Timothy 6:16.
Misconception: Jesus was weak and frail.
Fact: Jesus was manly in his behavior. For example, he boldly identified himself to the armed crowd that came to arrest him. (John 18:4-8) Jesus must also have been physically strong to have worked as a carpenter using manual tools.-Mark 6:3.
Why, then, did Jesus need help to carry his torture stake? And why did he die before the others executed with him died? (Luke 23:26; John 19:31-33) Just prior to Jesus’ execution, his body was seriously weakened. He had been up all night, in part because of emotional agony. (Luke 22:42-44) During the night the Jews had mistreated him, and the next morning the Romans had tortured him. (Matthew 26:67, 68; John 19:1-3) Such factors likely hastened his death.
Misconception: Jesus was always somber, melancholy.
Fact: Jesus perfectly reflected the qualities of his heavenly Father, Jehovah, whom the Bible describes as “the happy God.” (1 Timothy 1:11; John 14:9) In fact, Jesus taught others how to be happy. (Matthew 5:3-9; Luke 11:28) These facts indicate that Jesus often reflected happiness in his facial expressions.
@@achildofthelight4725 A descriptive epithet applied to Jesus and later to his followers. The names Nazarene and Nazirite, are not to be confused, for, though spelled similarly in English, they stem from altogether different Hebrew words with different meanings. Jesus was not a Nazirite, but a Nazarene, frequently Jesus was referred to, in widely scattered places and by all kinds of persons, as the Nazarene. (Mr 1:23, 24; 10:46, 47; 14:66-69; 16:5, 6; Lu 24:13-19; Joh 18:1-7) Jesus himself accepted and used the name. (Joh 18:5-8; Ac 22:6-8) On the sign that Pilate had placed on the torture stake he wrote in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek: “Jesus the Nazarene the King of the Jews.” (Joh 19:19, 20) From Pentecost 33 C.E. forward, the apostles as well as others often spoke of Jesus Christ as the Nazarene or as being from Nazareth.-Ac 2:22; 3:6; 4:10; 6:14; 10:38; 26:9. There were three principal restrictions resting on those taking the Nazirite vow: (1) They were to drink no intoxicating beverage; neither were they to eat any product of the grapevine, whether unripe, ripe, or dried, nor drink any of its juice, whether in the fresh, fermented, or vinegar state. (2) They were not to cut the hair of their heads. (3) They were not to touch a dead body, even that of the closest relative-father, mother, brother, or sister.-Nu 6:1-7. Yet Jesus converted water to wine, for the Joy of the gathered.
How do you know for sure that the shroud is a fake?
Jesus had a napkin around His head according to Scripture.
At this point I believe in evolution am so confused with religions
Just pray and go to the Bible.
Thank you.
Agreed
Then following Pauls other comments... You are a hypocrite if you allow or speak to women at church! First Corinthians 14:33-35 states, “As in all the congregations of the saints, women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church”
Jesus did not have long hair as apostl Paul said in.
A. Corinthians 11:14,15
14 Does not even nature itself teach you, that if a man have long hair, it is an insult to him? 15 But if a woman have long hair, it is to her glory. for his hair is given to him for a covering:
Why do we grow old and die?
GOD did not want humans to die. Our first parents, Adam and Eve, were created with a perfect mind and body. They could still be alive today. This is clear from what God said to Adam about a tree growing in the garden of Eden.
God said to Adam: “The day you eat [from the tree] you will surely die.” - Genesis 2:17. This command would have been meaningless if Adam had been created to grow old and die. Adam knew that if he did not eat from that tree, he would not die.
GOD'S PURPOSE WAS NOT THAT PEOPLE DIE.
God said to Adam: "Eat your bread with the sweat of your brow until you return to the ground from where you were taken. for you were dust and you will become dust. ”- Genesis 3: 17-19. As a result, “all the days of Adam's life were nine hundred and thirty years and he died.” - Genesis 5: 5. Adam did not go to heaven or hell. Or live in a spiritual realm.
What is the Resurrection?
The Bible's answer
In the Bible, the Greek word translated "resurrection" means "to stand" or "to restore." The resurrected person is resurrected from the dead and is the same person who was before. - 1 Corinthians 15:12, 13.
It is true that the word "resurrection" is not found in the Hebrew Scriptures, which are known as the Old Testament, but the promise of resurrection is there. For example, through the prophet Hosea, God promised: “I will rescue them from the hand of the grave, and I will rescue them from death.” - Hosea 13:14; Job 14: 13-15; Isaiah 26:19; Daniel 12: 2, 13.
Where will people be resurrected? Some people will be resurrected to live in heaven. There they will reign with Jesus Christ. - 2 Corinthians 5: 1; Revelation 5: 9, 10. The Bible calls this resurrection "the first resurrection" and the word "first" makes it clear that there will be another resurrection. - Revelation 20: 6. That other resurrection will be for the living on earth, and most of the dead will be resurrected in this way. - Psalm 37:29.
How are the dead raised? God gave Jesus the power to resurrect the dead. - John 11:25. Jesus will bring to life “all those in the memorial tombs,” each with his own personality, attributes, and memories. - John 5:28, 29. Some will be resurrected to live in heaven, while others will be resurrected to live on earth with perfect and healthy bodies. - Isaiah 33:24; 35: 5, 6. 1 Corinthians 15: 42-44, 50
They multiply priests and saints with sad faces pile up, perform miracles, cast out demons. But Jesus said, The tree is known by its fruit.
THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MATTHEW
7: 21-23:
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and did many miracles in your name?' 23 Then i will tell them plainly that I did not know you at all. Get away from me, you workers of iniquity.
Matthew 7: 15-20
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 By their fruits ye shall know them. Do they gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles? 17 So every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; and an evil tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Ye shall know them by their fruits.
B. LETTER TO CORINTHIANS (Paul)
11: 13-15:
13 For such are the apostles, liars, deceitful workers, impersonating the apostles of Christ. 14 And it is not surprising. because Satan also takes the form of a bright angel. 15 Wherefore, it is not a great thing that his ministers should be likened unto the ministers of righteousness. Their end will be in proportion to their deeds.
4: 4. In whom is the god of this world?
(Satan) blinded the minds of the unbelievers, that the light of the glory of the gospel of Christ might not shine upon them, which is the image of God.
Eternal life is a free gift from God. The eternal punishment is not righteousness because how many years can a person live at most? Here, eternal punishment means eternal death. God is Love!

Ecclesiastes 3:19,20

Jdg 13:24 And the woman bore a son and called his name Samson. And the young man grew, and the LORD blessed him.
The book of Judges and the book of Kings are to show you their failure, because the israelites chose judges and king over gods judgments just as adam and eve did in the garden! Samson's hair has nothing to do with the son of man, who was not a failure!

Jehovah's Witness Jesus is the true one
@Baki Misa Jehovah's Witnesses are the ones in John 4:23
@Baki Misa What difference does it make whether they were founded in the 1800's or in the year 2027? Jehovah's Witnesses are the kind of people not to smoke, drink, or pick up a weapon to kill somebody. A person has to be blind not to see they're the truth.
@Liam Kirwin What was that word you used? Dumb what?
@freezi Jesus being the way truth and the life doesn't mean he's God. Remember he has a God John 20:17.
Jesus never claimed to be God, and there are many of scriptures that show Jesus is not God, but the son of God, Jesus always remained modest, always directing all glory to his Father: “Why do you call me good? Nobody is good, except one, God.” “The Son cannot do a single thing of his own initiative.” “I seek, not my own will, but the will of him that sent me.”-Luke 18:18, 19; John 5:19, 30; 8:46; 14:6. In the book of Revelation the glorified Lord Jesus Christ repeatedly speaks of his Father as “my God.” At Revelation 3:12, for example, we read: “The one that conquers-I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will by no means go out from it anymore, and I will write upon him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem which descends out of heaven from my God, and that new name of mine.” This is in full harmony with Jesus’ earlier statement to Mary Magdalene: “I am ascending to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God.”-John 20:17, When Jesus responded to Satan, it is Jehovah you God that you should worship!!! he did not say it is me you should worship.
The New Encyclopædia Britannica says: “Neither the word Trinity, nor the explicit doctrine as such, appears in the New Testament, nor did Jesus and his followers intend to contradict the Shema in the Old Testament: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord’ (Deut. 6:4). . . . The doctrine developed gradually over several centuries and through many controversies. . . . By the end of the 4th century . . . the doctrine of the Trinity took substantially the form it has maintained ever since.”-(1976), Micropædia, Vol. X, p. 126.
The New Catholic Encyclopedia states: “The formulation ‘one God in three Persons’ was not solidly established, certainly not fully assimilated into Christian life and its profession of faith, prior to the end of the 4th century. But it is precisely this formulation that has first claim to the title the Trinitarian dogma. Among the Apostolic Fathers, there had been nothing even remotely approaching such a mentality or perspective.”-(1967), Vol. XIV, p. 299.
In The Encyclopedia Americana we read: “Christianity derived from Judaism and Judaism was strictly Unitarian [believing that God is one person]. The road which led from Jerusalem to Nicea was scarcely a straight one. Fourth century Trinitarianism did not reflect accurately early Christian teaching regarding the nature of God; it was, on the contrary, a deviation from this teaching.”-(1956), Vol. XXVII, p. 294L.
According to the Nouveau Dictionnaire Universel, “The Platonic trinity, itself merely a rearrangement of older trinities dating back to earlier peoples, appears to be the rational philosophic trinity of attributes that gave birth to the three hypostases or divine persons taught by the Christian churches. . . . This Greek philosopher’s [Plato, fourth century B.C.E.] conception of the divine trinity . . . can be found in all the ancient [pagan] religions.”-(Paris, 1865-1870), edited by M. Lachâtre, Vol. 2, p. 1467.
John L. McKenzie, S.J., in his Dictionary of the Bible, says: “The trinity of persons within the unity of nature is defined in terms of ‘person’ and ‘nature’ which are G[ree]k philosophical terms; actually the terms do not appear in the Bible. The trinitarian definitions arose as the result of long controversies in which these terms and others such as ‘essence’ and ‘substance’ were erroneously applied to God by some theologians.”-(New York, 1965), p. 899.
Amen! Not only did Jesus have short hair but Jesus was not attractive, he was probably quite ugly to the eye, and that was intentional.

For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is NO BEAUTY that we should desire him.

Because your talking/saying God
Dear pastor, why are you so convinced that the shroud of Turin isn't real?
Pastor Steve, I must ask the same question: what has convinced you so? I'm an astronautical engineer and I've studied the shroud on and off over the years, motivated originally by my salvation experience which was triggered by the shroud. Granted there is a plethora of wacky takes on the shroud out there, but may I recommend the publication "The Shroud of Turin: A Critical Summary of Observations, Data, and Hypotheses" by Dr. John Jackson, the physicist who led the team of scientists to Italy for the original investigation in 1978. The results of the physics applied to the shroud are to say the least fascinating, and modern science remains unable to explain the shroud's origin, let alone duplicate it. The issue concerning carbon dating is problematic, with a variety of possibilities for the 1260 to 1390 date. Anyhow, it seems to me that stating with certainty that it's a hoax is a claim that would require scientific backing, and from what I've seen the contrary is more likely. But, as I've said, it's fascinating, and if you have a link to your video on the shroud, I'd love to see it! Thanks!!
Jesus had short hair so it can’t be real.
I need to do a video about that.
My first non-scientific red flag that it wasn't real/of Jesus is that the shroud looked like Michaelangelo -- and the rests -- *paintings.* Lol. Huge clue.
Another non-scientific clue is that there is no evidence presented that it was of/could be of Jesus...aside from the fact that it looked like the umpteen paintings that depict what those artists wanted him to look like...
I am a graduate and scholar from the University of Oxford United Kingdom, ranking # 1 in the world as we stand, and I have a masters degree, and Professor in Theology, Divinity & Religious Studies for over 30 years, I understand the original Hebrew, also to include a scholarship in the Traditional Greek( KOINE) language in which Paul spoke and understood. The Shroud of Turin is not mentioned in the Bible. It is a linen sheet thought by many to be the burial cloth of Jesus Christ. As a result of this belief, the shroud is considered by some to be one of Christendom’s most sacred relics. A cathedral in Turin, Italy, now houses the shroud in a high-tech protective casing.
Do Bible accounts support the idea that the Shroud of Turin is genuine? No.
Consider three aspects of the shroud that differ from what the Bible says.
1. The shroud is a single cloth measuring 442 by 113 centimeters (14 ft 6 in. by 3 ft 8 in.) plus an 8-centimeter (3 in.) strip sewed lengthwise.
What the Bible says: Jesus’ dead body was wrapped, not in one piece of linen, but in multiple strips of cloth. His head was wrapped in a separate cloth. After Jesus was resurrected, one of his apostles came to the empty tomb and “saw the linen cloths lying there.” The Bible adds: “The cloth that had been on his head was not lying with the other cloth bands but was rolled up in a place by itself.”-John 20:6, 7.
2. The shroud contains markings presumed to be bloodstains from an unwashed corpse.
What the Bible says: When Jesus died, his disciples prepared his body “according to the burial custom of the Jews.” (John 19:39-42) This custom included washing the corpse and applying oils and spices to it before burial. (Matthew 26:12; Acts 9:37) Therefore, Jesus’ disciples would have washed his body before wrapping it in cloths.
3. The shroud bears the image of a man “laid lengthwise along one half of the shroud while the other half had been doubled over the head to cover the whole front of the body,” according to the Encyclopædia Britannica.
What the Bible says: Jesus’ disciples discussed his death, his empty tomb, and the eyewitness testimony of women who saw “a supernatural sight of angels, who said he is alive.” (Luke 24:15-24) If the shroud had been in Jesus’ tomb, his disciples would no doubt have discussed it and the images on it. However, the Bible says nothing about such a discussion.
Should the shroud be venerated?
No. Even if it were authentic, venerating it would still be wrong. Consider Bible principles that explain why.
1. It is unnecessary. Jesus explained: “God is a Spirit, and those worshipping him must worship with spirit and truth.” (John 4:24) True worship does not involve the use of religious relics or icons.
2. It is forbidden. The Ten Commandments forbid idolatry. (Deuteronomy 5:6-10) Likewise, the Bible commands Christians: “Guard yourselves from idols.” (1 John 5:21) Some might argue that for them the shroud is not an idol but an icon, or symbol, of their religious faith. However, an icon becomes an idol to the person who venerates it. Therefore, a person who wants to please God will not show devotion or reverence to any object, including the shroud.
Scientific analysis of the shroud
Since the late 19th century, researchers have tried to use scientific methods to test the authenticity of the shroud. Some of these tests have proven inconclusive. However, in 1988, the Vatican submitted small samples taken from the shroud to three laboratories in different countries. After the laboratories subjected the samples to radiocarbon dating, each one concluded that the shroud was from the 13th or 14th century.
You are completely off bases and your video pretty much laughable. You haven't really given any evidence other than quoting obscure scriptures taken out of context. Many lions in nature have long hair aka know as a mane, thus disproving your verse taken out of context. Jesus is the Lion of Judah and the verse describing long hair like a woman is not how Jesus had it.
Then on top of this trying to discredit the Shroud of Turin with this proves that you have not studied anything about the Shroud. The Shroud does not show a man with long hair like a woman. The Shroud of Turin is the real image of Christ to the doubting Thomas's of the world and it proves without a shadow of a doubt that Jesus existed, that he died on the cross and that he resurrected just as the Bible claims. There is no other relic like it in the world and the image created as he was resurrecting and even has 3d properties.
Also, let me point out another fact that you seem to not know. Man and woman's hairs grow at about the same rate and you might see a small difference depending on the nutrients that you feed your body.
Again your video is pointless, you sure convinced the gullible.
@Graham Thomson Yep, you sure proved everything you said. You are completely clueless.
@Graham Thomson You are a moron plain and simple. You didn't prove anything in your post other than yap some nonsense about pope having long hair. Prove the Shroud a fake since many have tried and continue to fail.
No, this comment was pointless.
Sorry, but there are so many “UPC culturally correct” assumptions and falsehoods in this video. This is definitely drinking the koolaid! And I don’t even like long hair on men. I think Jesus is sad about this one. I had to stop listening about halfway through.
Proverbs 18:13 (KJV)
13 He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.
Matthew 24:4 I heard enough to get the gist and the assumptions. With all due respect, I appreciate this pastor and usually agree with him. Not this time, sorry.

(Hebrews 7:14) It is unlikely that his features were especially distinctive. On one occasion he was able to travel in secret from Galilee to Jerusalem without being recognized. (John 7:10, 11) And he apparently did not stand out even among his closest disciples. Recall that Judas Iscariot had to identify Jesus to the armed crowd that arrested him.-Matthew 26:47-49.
● Hair length: It is unlikely that Jesus’ hair was long, because the Bible says that “long hair is a dishonor to a man.”-1 Corinthians 11:14.
● Beard: Jesus wore a beard. He followed Jewish law, which prohibited adult males from ‘disfiguring the edges of their beard.’ (Leviticus 19:27; Galatians 4:4) Also, the Bible mentions Jesus’ beard in a prophecy about his suffering.-Isaiah 50:6.
● Body: All indications are that Jesus was physically robust. During his ministry, he traveled many miles. (Matthew 9:35) He cleansed the Jewish temple twice, overturning the tables of money changers, and once drove out livestock with a whip. (Luke 19:45, 46; John 2:14, 15) McClintock and Strong’s Cyclopedia states: “The whole evangelical narrative indicates [Jesus’] sound and vigorous bodily health.”-Volume IV, page 884.
● Facial expressions: Jesus was warm and compassionate, and his facial expressions no doubt reflected this. (Matthew 11:28, 29) People of all sorts sought him out for comfort and help. (Luke 5:12, 13; 7:37, 38) Even children felt at ease in his presence.-Matthew 19:13-15; Mark 9:35-37.
Misconceptions about Jesus’ appearance
Misconception: Some argue that Jesus must have been of African descent because the book of Revelation compares his hair to wool and his feet to “burnished bronze.”-Revelation 1:14, 15, The New Jerusalem Bible.
Fact: The book of Revelation is presented “in signs.” (Revelation 1:1) The description of Jesus’ hair and feet uses symbolic language to illustrate Jesus’ qualities after his resurrection, not to describe his physical appearance when he was on earth. In saying that Jesus’ “head and his hair were white as white wool, as snow,” Revelation 1:14 uses color, not texture, as a point of comparison. This represents his wisdom due to age. (Revelation 3:14) This verse is not comparing the texture of Jesus’ hair to that of wool any more than it is comparing the texture of his hair to that of snow.
Jesus’ feet looked “like fine copper when glowing in a furnace.” (Revelation 1:15) Also, his face was “like the sun when it shines at its brightest.” (Revelation 1:16) Since no race has skin color matching these descriptions, this vision must be symbolic, showing the resurrected Jesus as the one “who dwells in unapproachable light.”-1 Timothy 6:16.
Misconception: Jesus was weak and frail.
Fact: Jesus was manly in his behavior. For example, he boldly identified himself to the armed crowd that came to arrest him. (John 18:4-8) Jesus must also have been physically strong to have worked as a carpenter using manual tools.-Mark 6:3.
Why, then, did Jesus need help to carry his torture stake? And why did he die before the others executed with him died? (Luke 23:26; John 19:31-33) Just prior to Jesus’ execution, his body was seriously weakened. He had been up all night, in part because of emotional agony. (Luke 22:42-44) During the night the Jews had mistreated him, and the next morning the Romans had tortured him. (Matthew 26:67, 68; John 19:1-3) Such factors likely hastened his death.
Misconception: Jesus was always somber, melancholy.
Fact: Jesus perfectly reflected the qualities of his heavenly Father, Jehovah, whom the Bible describes as “the happy God.” (1 Timothy 1:11; John 14:9) In fact, Jesus taught others how to be happy. (Matthew 5:3-9; Luke 11:28) These facts indicate that Jesus often reflected happiness in his facial expressions.
