Shane Claiborne - Fundamentalism

John the Baptist was under vow of a Nazarite (Nu. 6). Today, time of N.T., there is only the obedience to all the commandements of the N.T.. Jesus was'nt under this vow, and consequently had short hair. Clear? Not? The idea of long hair of Jesus comes of the babylon-(catholik)-church and of Hollywood made movies ...

I don't know, Peter, I think you're trying to apply white male evangelical fundamentalist cultural trappings to a totally different culture, in the name of disrespecting "long hairs". Could Paul have been referring to what today would be transvestites? What else is known of "long hair" in Roman times?

We only have to obey the Word of God, of God(!!!), and not to study the roman times...
Shane Claiborne is a false apostel. Why? They don't obey the Word of God. "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud" (II Tm 3:2-3).

@Peterneuh
He's not perfect. But he's so loving and does so many good things. He's even worked with mother teresa. What have you done, sir? Let him who is perfect throw the first stone.

That's the problem, your problem, because you would say to Jesus the same apologetic: "He was a good worker "'he's even worked with mother Teresa'..." This great Teresa failed in this: "And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing." (I Cor. 13:3) - YOU HAVE TO OBEY THE WORD; AND THAT IS THE REAL CHARITY (LOVE), and this love will keep His commendements. OK? God bless you, dear "Neutral..." christian...

@Peterneuh
I wish you would be more loving. We ALL come short of the glory of God. That's you too.

@Peterneuh
Why are you judging him because of his hair? That is the most ignorant thing i've heard all day.

An ignorant thing is to ignore the verse: "Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering." (I Cor. 11:14-15). And: "Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head." (V. 4). Shane do both in public: A) Cover his B) long & ugly hair with a pirate-veil ... "He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings." (John 14:24)

@Peterneuh

A lot of old testament law isn't applicable today. A lot of it changed when Jesus died on the cross (i.e. animal sacrificing, commandments about clothing to wear and animals to eat, about the way you can cut your beard, etc.)

Having long hair neither shows nor defies your love for jesus. Give the guy a break. He's done so many great things.

"Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. For rebellion(!) is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry(!)" (I Sam 15.22c+23).
"He's done so many great things": Yes, you pragmatic disciples, "but to obey is better than sacrifice."-
