The subject is much deeper than what is taught. The idea is that we must have power over our heads, which is Christ, for protection against evil. Do not overlook verse I Cor 11:10 where the woman must be covered to protect her from the ANGELS. This refers to Gen 6:1-4 when the sons of God, (fallen angels of Jude 6), came unto the daughters of men and took them as wives thus producing mixed children. This is what caused Noah's flood. In verse Gen 6:4 it mentions "ALSO AFTER THAT" meaning it will happen again in the future. This is why the woman must keep her head covered BECAUSE OF THE ANGELS that will come again in the end days, (Math 24:37-38). They are going to come looking for women to marry as before in the days of Noah.
Now understand that for a man to be covered with long hair at the time of their coming would be a shame, as it would mean they are looking to mix with the fallen angels which would be perverted. So the answer to your question is that it is okay to have long hair but understand what the scripture is referring to. Remember Jesus also had long hair and the head of Christ is God. Hope this helped. You and your girlfriend go in peace and keep the Lord as your head.

Do you believe it's wrong to wear makeup, earrings dresses, etc? I can see the point you're trying to make when you say, "Every Christian from that period could have had long hair, but it doesn’t make it right.". But it also doesn't make it wrong either, does it? You may be thinking of the verse but what is very important is that Paul wasn't saying explicitly that it was wrong for men to wear long hair, for does it say in the Bible somewhere, "men shall not have your hair longer than [supposed amount, whatever that would be]"? No, it doesn't. I would strongly advise you and most people on here to read the whole chapter and understand what was the actual point Paul was trying to make.
one must remember historical context. In the church Paul spoke too. The pagan community had alot of "gay" or Homosexual men, they even had male prostitutes looking for other men. they would advertise by having long hair. Imagine pauls horror when he saw all these men coming into church with Long hair. knowing the community would see this church as being full of male prostitutes.

I would never suggest such a thing. God will not exclude anyone who has chosen Christ as their Savior. We're talking about Christian living principles and how one presents themselves is part of it. Ultimately, it's a heart issue. Is a man wearing long hair because he has searched the scriptures and is not convicted, or does a man have long hair because he's trying to fit into the world's standard.

Well, it's possible for the man to have not cut his hair recently and also read the scriptures at the same time. But it's still a heart issue though, on whether or not he is convicted of it because if he does feel like it's wrong, he's being convicted by the Holy Spirit for nothing in our own nature would think we shouldn't do this.

You’re sidestepping the issue on behalf of another person. Don’t interfere.
Does the man feel shame for having long hair BEFORE he reads the verse in question? That is the key question. If he does not, then “nature” does not teach him as Paul claims. What he feels AFTER reading the verse is in response to the verse, not to “nature”.
I suspect that some people won’t understand the nuance.

Long hair has always been associated with feminity.
Even if are culture normalizes it today Men with long hair it will never be normal.
The only culture I can think of that men had long hair was are American Indians, the mongolians, and Chinese that eventually lead to the song dynesty were it was normal for men to wear flowers in their hair.

So then if your first suggestion is true, then Paul made a false claim. Still, if the man has long hair and doesn't feel shame before reading scripture, that doesn't mean that's not what nature supposedly teaches. Like a homosexual couple could say that they don't feel ashamed to have a same sex relationship but most people would agree that "nature" teaches against such a relationship, wouldn't they? I'll continue to pray as I have been that God will guide you into all truth in His Spirit which convicts us of our sin. Praise the Lord for you, for He created you to glorify Himself as He created all of us! God bless you sir!

My question to you then is this: does the Bible say it's not normal? I'm not either advocating or vise versa for men to have long hair. Like I've said before in one of my posts you liked, "But it's still a heart issue though, on whether or not he is convicted of it because if he does feel like it's wrong, he's being convicted by the Holy Spirit for nothing in our own nature would think we shouldn't do this. ". But will the Holy Spirit convict him? That's the question. I think we should base everything we say on God's truthful completely trustworthy Word. Here's also another tough question: shall we hate Satan? I not, then shall we love him? I'm starting to wonder if the Holy Spirit convicts certain people of certain topics because God might want one person to do one thing but then another person not to do another. I'm not sure of this but I'll look to the Word of God to try and find an answer.
