That's a right peculiar take, and I must say I disagree with it, mate! To say that a "genuine" Christian shouldn't have their hair in a particular style seems a bit judgy, if you don't mind me sayin' so.
As far as I can tell, there's nothin' in the Bible that says Christians can't have their hair in any particular way.

The idea that a Christian's appearance should be a certain way to "preach" or "convince" others seems a bit backwards, if ya ask me. After all, the Bible says that "man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart." (1 Samuel 16:7)
The focus should be on the person's character and actions, not on how they choose to look, yeah?

But as it grows bigger, he might need to plait it every now and then because the bigger it gets, the harder it becomes to manage on a daily basis.

Ask us African women.

If you check some churches, you may see guys plaiting their hair. You may notice such amongst the instrumentalists, drummers, bass guitar players etc.
The question is, should a genuine Christian guy Plait his hair?

To me, it is not a good appearance for a genuine Christian guy. Such appearance cannot be easily used to preach, and it may not allow sinners to be convinced to repent.

SeriouslySense:
African Men plaiting their hair in the past was not seen as effeminate, so it was not a sin, but now that the people see it as effeminate, then it could or has now become sin. Out of the mind comes sin, not what is on the outside.

Adam and eve were naked and were okay, but when they ate of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, they were ashamed of their unclothedness.

I dont see it as sin, but since the people in my culture see it as sin, then i should not do it. Especially if i claim to be a Christian, but if i was in the west i could plait my hair provided the people and my mind do not see it as a sin.

If any action or lifestyle will cause us to sin, or is our weakness then we should not do it.

So, what are you saying in effect?
That Adam and Eve ate the fruit, how did it bring them closer to God?

Rom 1:28 KJV And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Rom 1:32 KJV Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Just continue in your delusion.

Freeko4:


The question of whether a genuine Christian guy should plait his hair is a matter of personal interpretation and cultural context. Different Christian denominations and individuals may have varying beliefs and practices regarding appearance and grooming.

In many Christian communities, appearance is seen as a matter of personal conviction and not a strict religious requirement. Some may argue that one's hairstyle does not define their faith or ability to preach the Gospel, while others may hold conservative views on grooming.

Ultimately, the decision to plait one's hair or choose a particular hairstyle should be based on individual beliefs, personal conviction, and the cultural norms of their specific Christian community. It's important to remember that Christianity encompasses a wide range of interpretations and practices, and there is no universally correct answer to this question.

Wisereborn:
The kind talk and questions you ask on this forum is very funny

No one is really hitting the nail on the head

Why can't you ask questions like:
1. How can a christian defend his or herself if terrorists attack

2. What do we do to better our lives in the face of this harsh economy reality

3. How do we identity and deal with corruption

4. How can you be a better citizen

5. What to do to stay honest even in business infact teach how to be a better person in your environment

These are some of the problems in our immediate environment

Many of these questions will make lives better

Michael Jackson dey plait hair supposing he's still alive, who amongst you will not jump at him or take pictures with him if he comes to your church

Samson in the bible self keep hair

Hair shouldn't define someone's character, what God really want from us, we aren't doing!!!
