Hair

Mar-07-2002 at 05:41 PM (UTC+3 Nineveh, Assyria)

Greetings,

For all who can answer without laughing,

I have decided to experiment with my hair and grow some natural locks. Being the way that I am, I tried to research the origin of locks and the ancient people who started wearing them. On the net, I got a bunch of crap. One site said that the ancient Jews, Christians, and even Muslims wore dreadlocks. In fact, this site claims to have scriptural proof of the Judeans wearing locks. But I am being cautious because I remember reading that a man with long hair is disgraceful. I think Paul (the Apostle) said that. Most likely, I am wrong...or maybe that was the Greek translation...

Anyway, is there any scriptural evidence in the Tanakh or ARAMAIC N.T. that wearing locks is sanctioned? Are there any prophets that I should know about who wore their hair in "dreadlocks?"


Stop laughing!

Is this credible?

"Numbers 6:5
All the days of the vow of his separation there shall be no razor come upon his head until the days be fulfilled in which he separateth himself unto the Lord, he shall be holy and shall the LOCKS of the hair of his head grow.
Leviticus 19:27
Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shall thou mar the corners of thy beard.
Ezeikel 8:3
And he put forth the form of the hand and took me by a LOCK of mine head.
Song of Solomon 5:11
His head is as the most fine gold. His LOCKS are bushy and black as a raven.
Numbers 6:7
... the consecration of his God is upon his head. All the days of his
separation he is Holy unto the Lord.
1 Samuel 1:11
I will give him unto the Lord all the days of his Life, and there shall
no razor come upon his head.
Song of SOLOMON 5:2
My head is filed with dew, and my LOCKS with the drop of the night.
1 Kings 1:52
And Solomon said, If he will show himself a worthy man, there shall not an hair of him fall to the earth.
Also I highly recomend you read Judges chapters 13-17
This is the story of Samson and his seven locks, his locks gave him power, and without them he was nothing.


Locks occur in EVERY culture:
1. The bible speaks of locks so Hebrews, Christ, and early Christians must have had them.
2. Most ancient cultures had not devolped a brush for a long time.
3. King Tut's body, to this day, still has locks.
4. Ancient Mayan artwork proves that they had Locks
5. Aborigine tribesman to this day still have locks proving that their ancesters must have had them as well.
6. Native New Guineans have/had locks.
7. Hindu Sadhus out of tradition have locks, and so its been for a long time.
8. Ceaser reported that Celtic tribes had "hair like snakes".
9. The Muslim Whirling Dervishes of Sudan have locks.
10. Various African tribes have locks.
11. Ethiopian monks have locks.
12. The longest hair in the world is one lock of a man in Thailand
13. There are Sihks with locks."

Assyrian \ã-'sir-é-an\ adj or n (1998)   1:  descendants of the ancient empire of Ashur   2:  the Assyrians, although representing but one single nation as the direct heirs of the ancient Assyrian Empire, are now doctrinally divided, inter sese, into five principle ecclesiastically designated religious sects with their corresponding hierarchies and distinct church governments, namely, Church of the East, Chaldean, Maronite, Syriac Orthodox and Syriac Catholic.  These formal divisions had their origin in the 5th century of the Christian Era.  No one can coherently understand the Assyrians as a whole until he can distinguish that which is religion or church from that which is nation -- a matter which is particularly difficult for the people from the western world to understand; for in the East, by force of circumstances beyond their control, religion has been made, from time immemorial, virtually into a criterion of nationality.   3:  the Assyrians have been referred to as Aramaean, Aramaye, Ashuraya, Ashureen, Ashuri, Ashuroyo, Assyrio-Chaldean, Aturaya, Chaldean, Chaldo, ChaldoAssyrian, ChaldoAssyrio, Jacobite, Kaldany, Kaldu, Kasdu, Malabar, Maronite, Maronaya, Nestorian, Nestornaye, Oromoye, Suraya, Syriac, Syrian, Syriani, Suryoye, Suryoyo and Telkeffee. — Assyrianism verb
