Question:
In the Bible it says of Samson and I kind of think there weren’t barbers back in the Bible times. So, my question is: Is it wrong for a man to have long hair?

Answer:
I’ll try to attempt to answer the question about long hair. A couple of years ago I got asked that same question about long hair. I found a verse in 1 Corinthians 11:14 that says, “Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?”

There is also a quote, unquote Christian image that the world expects from Christians, and if we don’t live up to that image, it may affect our testimony in their eyes. It was referred to Samson’s long hair in the question. Samson was a Nazarite. A Nazarite was a person chosen of God. They had many commandments to live by, one of which was the commandment that they were never to cut their hair. So that is why Samson had the long hair, and if you can recall that when Samson got his hair cut, he lost all of his strength.
