kbkbooks @kbkbooks (7022) • Canada 2 Mar 08

Did Jesus Christ have long hair?

clowdine @clowdine (1402) • Philippines 18 Feb 08

At this point, I believe he did not. It is a Christian teaching that men should not have long hair. The proof is in the Bible? It is in 1 Corinthians 11:14.

jal1948 giving a child depends on the childrens genuine needs and your capacity to fulfill those needs without hurting yourself or the child. Supervise their spending and see that it is for a just and genuine cause/purpose.

jal1948 It is natural to try and protect them selves and their children from every harm and guide them through the stages of life by sharing our experiences, our trials,tribulations,pain and suffering with them so that they do not go through the same.
