I'm not changing my avatar and the Word of God always stands. The Word is not something to laugh about and besides, we really don't know what Jesus looked like, it is an artist's interpretation. I think we will all be surprised when we see Jesus as he is.
Here is a nice little description of Christ:
Revelation 1 (KJV)
13And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
14His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
15And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
16And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
Even if His hair turns out to be long, it won't be brown.

It is a bit unfair to insist that representations be based on that seen by Yochanan(John) in the revelation. Any representation is going to be inadeqate. Maybe this is why we were commanded not to make any graven images.

No one laughed at the Word. But you have to admit your adamant stance on long hair on men and the picture in your avatar do not match. The picture is of a man, in this case Jesus, with long hair. And you are correct in your assertion that the Word of God stands. However, it does not forbid men to wear long hair. Paul simply said it was a shame. Not a sin or against the rules.

Paul simply said it was a shame.
And, as has been pointed out repeatedly, placed in its first century context, this passage does not mean what it seems to in the 20th/21st centuries.
And I tend to agree with Paul that men should wear their hair shorter than waist length.

LOL. Yep.
But it's not really a plus in hot humid weather, though.
Lioness, with your beautiful wavy hair, you'd probably have to have a cart to carry your hair around in if it was waist length.

I just got my hair cut.
That's one less sinful man in the world. That is until I eat pizza.
