Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA Lines: 18 Approved: christian@aramis.rutgers.edu I can't remember the chapter and verse, but in one of Paul's letters, he exhorts the men to cut their hair short. However, Jesus Christ ( if all the art works created in history are to be believed ) had long hair. Then again, I doubt Jesus had blue eyes and white skin either. In fact, He probably looked like a semite. ( oh ! Blasphemy ! ) And I heard somewhere that Paul himself took the same vow as Samson did, which involved not drinking any alcohol and not cutting his hair. Am I mistaken ? Could someone direct me to the relevant scripture ? ^>*<^ jmoon [The reference is 1 Cor 11:14. I suspect what's meant by "long" is the issue. It's unlikely that Paul had a crew cut in mind. --clh]
