Serious question about certain Bible passages

[Jen Beal]

This is in response to an earlier post(Give me that good time sinning), specifically where someone said they miss when it was a sin for men to grow their hair out long. I received this link in an email today

http://www.11points.com/Books/11_Things_The_Bible_Bans,_But_You_Do_Anyway

According to the first point from the book of Leviticus 19:27: "Thou shalt not round off the side growth of your hair nor harm the edges of your beard." So I take it this means that the Bible does not want men to cut their hair or shave their beards.

How accurate is this to what the Bible actually states? I really am just curious.

Thank you in advance for the help.

You'll come to realize that most 'strong believers' don't actually follow all of the bible.
They just pick out the snippets they like and ignore the rest.

According to the correct Bible (KJV 1611) the quote actually is:
Leviticus 19:27 (King James Version)

27Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard.


Quite a bit different when you actually read the correct quote, isn't it?

Re: Serious question about certain Bible passages

Yes as Brother James pointed out, it is much different when you use a correctly translated Bible! Notice it doesn't say you can't have a beard, it just says if you do, don't trim the corners. Us True Christians(tm) follow everything in the Bible 100%. We are not Salad Bar Christians who pick and choose which of God's laws to follow at their own whim.

Yes James it is, thank your for your answer and the enlightment. I greatly appreciate it. Is there a place where I could find a copy of the KJV online?

That may be what you catlicks do. We Baptists Christians follow it verbatim with zero tolerance for the oh too convenient 'interpretation'.

Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,

To Shave your Head for the Lord is to Show Him Glory. Your Hair is a Symbol of the Old Growth. To Rid it is To CLeanse yourself of the Old. To Grow New. As In the Word he is To Give You.

To Change Your Path and Some of Your Ways. The Old Dust the Old Hair of What Was.

To Have a Beard is to Remind You Of Where You Came From. A Course Hard Life From When you Ate upon the Tree of Knowledge.

When You Chose to Become Like Us.

And it is Correct that the King James Version of the Bible is Correct for what it was Created For. The 1611 Version it was Financed by Constantine and His Mother when they Converted to Christianity. The Number 9 of the Version tells you that this is the Last Holy Bible.

1611=9 The Basics From Extreme to Extreme the Kings James Bible Shows this CLearly. From the Wars of Horror to Ultimate Love of it.

And How You Change

I've always liked having a full beard. It shows wisdom and intelligence.

I used to have one but it tickled my toes.
