Im new here. I need some help regarding 1 Corinth 11:14

Absolutely.

It is a shame for a man to have long hair because the look is effeminate. It is a shame for a man to look like a woman.

And, if you (whoever) disagree with this statement, it only shows how much your thinking has been affected by the modern [godless] world.

No man should have the appearance of a woman. No woman should have the appearance of a man. This is the intent of God.

And, it is a "doctrinal issue" - it is biblical instruction to us concerning the proper way we are to live our lives according to God.

Please note that the passage does not say that it is a shame for a woman to not have long hair; however, it does most definitely say that it is a shame for a man to have long hair.

Believe what the Bible says even before you understand why it says it.

Then it’s not a heart issue.

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!

Exactly, so the whole "does not nature teach" argument fails. Even most long-haired women eventually get haircuts. There's no objective standard of "short" or "long", "nature" does not actually teach any such thing, and Paul was speaking from a cultural perspective, not an eternal truth-standard.

Just don’t be surprised when we get our new bodies that we will have short hair. 😂

You're trying to conflate a distinctly moral issue with a moral non-issue. Can a society of strict homosexuals reproduce itself? No. Nature prohibits it. On the contrary, nature does not prohibit long hair on men.

So now you’re using speculation as evidence? Wow….

On what basis do you say that nature prohibits same-sex marriage? I'm not advocating for it, I'm just curious what you'll say.[/QUOTE

Biblically, there no such thing as same sex marriage. Biblically, man and woman can become one flesh. The becoming one flesh is the marriage union. Men with men, and women with women is an unnatural union, not marriage.

On what basis do you say that nature prohibits same-sex marriage? I'm not advocating for it, I'm just curious what you'll say.

Paul is writing under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. These aren’t the opinions of men.

Paul makes the statement which is not his opinion:

14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?

Answer is rhetorical: yes

Please read my post again… carefully.

"Can a society of strict homosexuals reproduce itself? No. Nature prohibits it." I'm not talking about this exactly, on what Biblical basis I meant. We only can find true wisdom from God, if we trying to generate it ourselves, we become foolish because then we are following a path of a foolish man. Also, why do you say this means nature prohibits it?

You're trying to conflate a distinctly moral issue with a moral non-issue. Can a society of strict homosexuals reproduce itself? No. Nature prohibits it. On the contrary, nature does not prohibit long hair on men.

Where does the "society of strict homosexuals" exist?

Where does the "society of strict homosexuals" exist?

It’s a speculative construct to prove a point.

Ok...so im an 18 year old male. I converted to Christ two years ago so am still quite new to all this. So I don't know much in terms of general theological knowledge. With that being said, I need some help.

Ive always had super short hair, but my Girlfriend said I should grow it out, so I have been. It's currently at my shoulderblades, and I was going to go to mid back. I must admit my GF was right, I look the best I ever have. But then I read 1 Corinth 11:14. Where Paul says it's against God for a man to have long hair??? I know it's a sin for a man to look feminine, but I certainly don't. And long hair has nothing to do with that. So I'm confused.

Ive done research and I've found that nobody really knows. Some scholars say that it's fine and others say it's sinful. I don't have a pastor I can ask as I don't go to church yet (my parents are atheists) so I'm kinda stuck and just need help. Please. Someone!
