The Film, ‘Paul, Apostle of Christ’ is a moving examination of faith and courage

Verses 14 and 15 state:

“Does not nature itself teach you that if a man wears long hair it is a disgrace for him, but if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For her hair is given to her for a covering.”

Samson in the Old Testament took a Nazarite vow, part of which was for his hair never to be cut. Was his long hair wrong since the Nazarite vow was both a religious and spiritual vow of devotion to God? Apparently not.

Was Samson a woman?
If you want to discuss the Nazarite vow we can because it is quite a study.

But Samson was under a vow.
And Samson isn’t a woman

Keep either Bing Eve or Adam who listens to Eve who listens to the serpent.
Those are called curses in bible.

Paul understood those curses and understood headship,something cursed Eve’s and Adam’s do not.

Hence the ignorance and twisting..

For Paul there could not be any works at all involved in salvation.

Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. Do all things without murmurings and disputings: That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.

For Paul there could not be any works at all involved in salvation.

"In salvation" means in the act of getting saved. Certainly there isn't any question that good works are to be done as a result of salvation. Good fruit comes from a good tree. Paul would not, and did not say otherwise. He was, though, perfectly crystal clear about the fact that salvation is by grace, through faith, not of works, lest any man should boast.

He expressed this truth often, decisively and uncontroversially many, many times, uncontroversially for those who are not irrationally blinded by false indoctrination, inspired by the enemy of their souls, who expressly wants them burning in hell.

Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing. Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.

Then you do not understand the Nazarite vow or the garden of eden which is a tie prophetically to the Nazarite vow.

The three things a Nazarite vow weren’t supposed to do has direct correlation back to the original garden.

And not cutting one’s hair as a Nazarite had prophectic and symbolic meaning that is lost on those who are fixated on the natural and not the spiritual, to their blindness.
