What religion wants you to keep your long hair?

A nazirite or nazarite, (in Hebrew: נזיר, nazir), refers to a Jew who took an ascetic vow described in Numbers 6:1-21. The term "nazirite" comes from the Hebrew word nazir meaning "consecrated" or "separated".[1] This vow required the man or woman to:Abstain from wine, wine vinegar, grapes, and raisinsRefrain from cutting one's hair and/or beardAvoid corpses and graves, even those of a family memberAfter following these requirements for a designated period of time (which would be specified in the individual's vow, and not to be less than 30 days), the person would immerse in a Mikvah and make three offerings, a lamb as a "burnt offering" (olah), a ewe as a "sin offering" (hatat), and a ram as a "peace offering" (shelamim), in addition to a basket of unleavened bread, grain offerings and drink offerings, which accompanied the peace offering. The nazirite is described as being "holy unto the Lord" (Numbers 6:8), yet at the same time must bring a sin offering. This contradiction has led to divergent approaches to the nazirite in the Talmud, and later authorities. The most famous Nazarite was Samson.

Did Jesus take the vow of a Nazarite?

Quite possibly as Jesus was a Jewish man in Nazareth. Some people believe that a vow may have been taken in the time between Jesus leaving for the desert and beginning his mission.Another answer:Jesus was not a Nazarite. Being from Nazareth makes him a Nazarene. Taking a Nazarite vow makes one a true Nazarite. And it is not possible for Jesus to have been a Nazarite, due to the fact that he did not abstain from drinking fruit of the vine or wine, which he would have to do in order to take a Nazarite vow would be not to put a razor to his head or touch wine or grapes. and the bible says he is a winebibber in Mat 11:19 & Luk 7:34 .The best wine in those days was a pure grape juice which was unfermented, or contained no alcohol.Another answerI believe that Jesus adhered to the Nazarite vows. The Bible never mentions Him cutting His hair and His beard was pulled out during His indescribable crucifixion.During the Jewish wedding, He turned water into wine (pure grape juice-without fermentation). The vow states that the Nazarite should abstain from strong drink (wine containing alcohol). See Elizabeth, John the Baptist's mother who was cautioned by an angel, as was Samsom's mother told to abstain from certain dietary no-no's namely strong fermented grape juice and unclean meats.Jesus would not have had any personal liabilities associated with His earthly ministry such as an occasion for someone to get drunk at a wedding and then commit sin (i.e. a man getting drunk and beating his wife). This kind of behavior has often accompanied drinking wine containing alcohol. Therefore, we can be assured the Jesus never ever consumed any alcohol.


Who is a Nazerite?

What is a Nazarite?

Answer:The state of being a Nazarite is the result of a vow taken by someone who will thereafter be "separated" or "dedicated" to the Lord in a special way. Nazarites were not priests but were used by God as examples of holiness to the larger population. Among the Nazarites were Samson, Samuel, and John the Baptist. They led ascetic lives, denying themselves many physical comforts. The drinking of wine was also forbidden by them.

Nazarene is a word that means from Nazareth like Jesus. It also may mean that you are a member of the Church of the Nazarene.
