Many times I sit and wonder how much of our people under the assembly of Yeh’sha really do study and meditate on the word. I am not talking about what pastor told you but the actual written word. Here we have another false teaching that we all fell for and believed it all our lives, even myself at one time. Today we will expose the myth that the bible teaches against men having long hair. Why will the church make up their own laws making the apostle Shaul look like a rebel against Christ and the prophets?

On the left side of their mouth they say we are not under the law, Christ nailed it to the cross and on the right they impose their laws. To my knowledge nature never never imposed in our spirit that having long hair or short hair is a disgrace! This practice was taught by gentile cultures and we must be careful in understanding context of scripture. The bible came from Hebrew drawings of symbols that meant specifically what was scribed. The English and the Greek language we spell words and words can have many different meanings in its usage.

Brother Shaul a Hebrew of the tribe of Bejamin was the appointed Apostle to teach the gentile nations the word given to Israel. While setting up the congregations there was always bickering amongst the brethren. The congregation were a mixture of Israelite who were taken captive to those lands and somewhat adopted the helenist culture while some did not. All in all they were all part of the congregation learning about the laws and Christ under brother Shaul.

{1st Corinthis Chapter 11}{18}First of all, I hear that when you come together as a church, there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it. {19}And indeed, there must be differences among you to show which of you are approved.

As we address 1st Corinthians chapter 11 the issue of the hair styles became a problem amongst the assembly. Brother Shaul immediately had to defuse this infighting and in the dialogue it is apparent he was sternly addressing the new Corinthian believers and not the Israelites. This contention which was brewing amongst the congregation therfore order had to be restored. It seemed that some of the gentiles corinthin believers were upset over the Hebrew Israelite regarding their long flowing locs. How do we know that? It is quite evident in brother Shaul’s speech. Before we go there let us look at a few samples of righteous locks men of the bible.

  BIBLICAL FACTS AND EXAMPLES OF RIGHTEOUS MEN AND VESSELS OF EH‘YEH WHO  WERE NOT CALLED A DISGRACE FOR HAVING LONG FLOWING NAPPY LOCKS.

There is no law written in any Hebrew scroll NOR the bible that denounces men having locks or growing long hair. It cannot be found in Genesis the story of creation or the levitcal works. Again and I really hate to keep pointing out these flaws in doctrine but it is very necessary for us to come to the knowledge of Eh’Yeh and his Christ. Brother Shaul used but a Hebrew expression to explain but again the translators and the modern English is so corrupt, that one word can conveniently mean many things. These men always manipulated the grey areas to their advantage to change the flavor of various passages of scripture.

 {Song of Solomon 5:11} “His head is like gold, pure gold; His locks are like clusters of dates And black as a raven. 

 {Ezekiel 8:3}He stretched out the form of a hand and caught me by a lock of my head; and the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem,  

 {Judges 16:13}Then Delilah said to Samson, “Up to now you have deceived me and told me lies; tell me how you may be bound.” And he said to her, “If you weave the seven locks of my hair with the web [and fasten it with a pin, then I will become weak and be like any other man.” 

 {Numbers 6:5 }‘All the days of his vow of separation no razor shall pass over his head. He shall be holy until the days are fulfilled for which he separated himself to the Lord; he shall let the locks of hair on his head grow long. 

 {Judges 16:19} She made him sleep on her knees, and called for a man and had him shave off the seven locks of his hair. Then she began to afflict him, and his strength left him.  Firstly let us examine the context of the word nature as used in the passage.1^st Corinthians chapter 11; Shaul in scripture is addressing a natural custom which the people of Corinth believed in. The verse depicts “by nature” as Shaul was making the point that it was the nature{tradition} of the Corinthians men not to have long hair. That type of custom was not to be brought into the church. Doctrine based on this particular statement “by Nature” is interpreted incorrectly from the original Hebrew context. What? Yes! Paul asked the question isn’t it not by nature you learn that if a man has long hair its a disgrace? And if a woman has long hair it is her glory for it is her cover? Then he rebukes that behavior by saying let man be contentious,we do not have such a custom!!!

In other words he is telling them that under the body of Christ congregation there is not such a custom and to refrain from the contention. Lets go to the actual scripture. This is the proper context of the question and point Brother Shaul was making as the gentiles traditional custom came into question. The correct meaning translated from the Hebrew to Greek is as follows{1 Corinthians 11:14; φύσει ποιεῖν τά τοῦ ναμου, natura magistra, guided by their natural sense of what is right and proper}. The English translators only used the word nature giving the dialogue a whole new twist which the religions totally misunderstand.

 {1st Corinthians Chapter 11}{11:13} Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered? {11:14} Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? {11:15} But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering. {11:16} But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God. {11:17} Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse. {11:18} For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it. 

 Corinthians 11:14; φύσει ποιεῖν τά τοῦ ναμου, natura magistra, guided by their natural sense of what is right and proper}  << SEE THAT?  Notice brother Shaul asked them two questions to be specific regarding their cultural belief, it was not a statement or a command he was imposing. The old western so called founding fathers twisted scripture without proper understanding and caused many to error. We tend to repeat their stupidity as these old dead men’s sermon keeps getting regurgitated. The error are taught in seminaries and unlearned men brings it back to the local churches repeating the errors like parrots on stick. Shaul went hard on them making it very clear that the Hebrews are the ones established the house of God and that is not our custom as Hebrews and also “NOT A CUSTOM IN THE CONGREGATION OF GOD“. The apostle Peter warned of these scholars preachers and so called wise men who knows nothing but always trying to sound smart. So often I have advised friends and members of other congregations to be careful in reading and studying scripture. I implore you to study the bible; the old and new testament, the Pauline false doctrines is the chief reason that there are so many different churches with different beliefs.

We often error as we keep repeating old western tainted doctrines which trickled its way into our current time. These errors and many more are preached throughout the world as sound doctrines but are all wrong. Peter pleaded with the church in his day to be mindful of this. There were men who started with them and fell off going after their own glory.They were preaching Christ but for their own selfish reasons; for gain, control, power and influence. They were stumbling blocks blind leaders leading the blind. I urge you brothers and sisters study the word to be approved and obey Eh’Yeh’s words. pronounced {ah-hi-yah}with the accent on the first ah

 {1st Peter Chapter 3}{15}Consider also that our Lord’s patience brings salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom God gave him. {16}He writes this way in all his letters, speaking in them about such matters. Some parts of his letters are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction. {17}Therefore, beloved, since you already know these things, be on your guard so that you will not be carried away by the error of the lawless and fall from your secure standing.   Meanwhile I am here at my little corner I continue to seek the truth and strive to do the will of my heavenly father and wait for his promises. I pray and hope that the 95% of the people who disagree with scriptures and are cynical, arrogant, ignorant and skeptical release themselves from the bondage of religion. The truth will set you free but because many of you have denied the truth the father has sent a strong delusion that you believe lies of men. As a boy I always wondered why was this new testament law was in effect meanwhile the fake Jesus images and idols always had him with long gold locks. hmmm?

Is it by coincidence they don’t have sermons on the appearance of the most high seated in the heavens? No ! Daniel told us, John showed us, Enoch told us! All three witnesses revealed that our heavenly father had hair like wool. The church do not want to talk about that. Why be ashamed and feel disgraced brethren when you were created in his image? Rejoice and give thanks we have hair like our father and our brother Yeh’sha and now we know who our daddy is! It is all reversed psychology! all the attributes we were born with they made to be bad and their attributes be exalted over everything scripture says about our nation. As this article is about long hair I digress from going on pointing out the other attributes but hopefully you are wise enough to understand.

As I got older it started to make perfect sense.The general plan was for you the nation of ISRAEL to be ashamed of our hair, to be ashamed of our Christ with woolly sheep hair and the ancient of days Eh’Yeh with woolly sheep hair. That was room to give us a pretty European Jesus with long flowing straight hair.{The Book Of Daniel Chapter 9}“I watched till thrones were [a]put in place, And the Ancient of Days was seated; His garment was white as snow, And the hair of His head was like pure wool. Wow I said to myself in reading this and the skepticism on religion began in my mind from thence on. It Was A Way For Us Not To Identify With Our True Origins; A way to make us forget abandon our inheritance thinking nappy hair was a shame. Hence the reason our women and men were Jheri curling or using the hot iron to have straight hair like the enemy. Our parents after being taught those values passed imposed it on to us. This became a biweekly ritual visit to the barber to cut the woolly bush off. Vidal Sassoon became rich, the Jheri curls companies became rich, and the gel products for nice bouncy hair near killed many of our people. M.J had to “beat it”as that fire attacked his Jheri curls doing that Pepsi advertisement but big pharma finally got him bless his soul.

There is a name for this; Cultural appropriation is the adoption of an element or elements of one culture or identity by members of another culture or identity. This can be controversial when members of a dominant culture appropriate from disadvantaged minority cultures. How? by deeming the things of the other culture a taboo or disgraceful while they embrace it to their advantage. In the church arena it is called replacement theology practiced by many religions as they claim God is done away with his people. Additionally, when cultural elements are copied from a minority culture by members of a dominant culture, and these elements are used outside of their original cultural context

Our women started to look for men from other cultures so they will have children with nice manageable hair and vice-verse. Not your fault my people it was all part of the programming. I am here to tell you, love your nappy hair for Christ and the father the ancient of days they got nappy hair like wool. Is it not nice to walk in the image of your heavenly father?  Throughout the bible there is much evidence that our men had long flowing locs. What is locs? Not goldy locs! Let me show you the Hebrew word for locs: The first word, tsitsith, means really a tassel, such as is worn by the Hebrews on the four corners of the prayer-shawl or Tallith and on the ‘arba` kanephoth (Deuteronomy 22:12), translated in the New Testament by kraspedon (Matthew 9:20; 14:36; 23:5; Mark 6:56; Luke 8:44). Once it is applied to a forelock of hair. For decades, the term “dreadlocks” was used to describe the style in which hair falls into rope-like strands, made when the hair locks into itself. The style remains one with cultural and Hebrew historical significance. It also happens to be beautiful look, albeit one that’s not always easy to create—or maintain, for that matter. During the locking process, hair tangles, which causes the strands to coil around themselves into fused units. Some people simply stop combing through their hair in order to form “freeform” locs, which tend to vary greatly in size. John the baptizer never had a haircut, there is no barber shop in the desert!

“Samuel, Another great man of the bible also is mentioned about his locks and that’s Samuel, his hair was never cut and he was no disgrace. How can you be disgraced when these men were dedicated to The Most high? I know some of when you read these articles its like coming to the dentist and getting a tooth pulled and no lolipop after the visit. We have to accept and understand the hard truths that we were compromised from the inside out. Stop the ignorance my people and wake up, the days of being a parrot and circus dog is nearing its end.

 {1:11} And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head. 

 In conclusion the heavenly father accepted her prayer, the offering of her son. She kept her promise and committed Samuel the dread locks to the Most High. He was no disgrace but a true man of the most high loved by,him and communicated with him as a true friend and prophet! Keep following YAH continually don’t bother with no folly just be jolly  

      As in my trini dialect “AH DUN TALK!“
