Men's Hairstyle And Christianity

Why do the men in the churches trim their hair so low to show the scalp?
Some Christian men shave their heads to please their religious organization
.

Does the Bible specify the length that a man’s hair should be?
Is being bald a requirement for men to be a true Christian?
.

1 Corinthians 11: 14 says that long hair is a dishonour to a man,
But this scripture does not harmonize with the story of Samson
.

Who among us can reason that Jesus’ long hair was a dishonour to him?
Although Christians think differently, there is a clear contradiction
.

Dishonour is not a sin; some people regard others with dishonour
In this context, dishonour literally means shame and disgrace
.

For example, a student gets 25% in an exam, so the student feels ashamed
And the student’s parents and friends regard this as disgrace
.

God wisely created man exactly the way he wanted man to be
Who came up with the idea that God does not approve of men with long hair?
.

If God really wanted only bald-headed men to worship him,
Then why did he designedly make some males with long hair?
.

Although nobody knows the exact appearance of Jesus Christ,
The Christians have never painted a portrait of him with a bald head
.

They teach us that Christians are disciples of Jesus Christ, a Nazirite,
Yet they make it seem that men with long hair will not go to heaven
.

Will only bald-headed men live forever on a paradisiac earth?
Imagine the future world full of men with very little or no hair
.

Nobody should judge a man by his hair as to whether he is a Christian or not
God examines a man’s character and the intent of his heart, not his hairstyle
