What about Samson?

Back in the early nineties when I had long hair my dad would tell me that the Bible said that a man should not have long hair. Does anyone know if the Bible addresses this?

It's a quote from Paul I 1 Corinthians chapter 11

"13 Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14 Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, 15 but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering. 16 If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice—nor do the churches of God."

I don't necessarily think this is prescriptive, some will disagree with me on this. What is curious though is that most people who quote this "long hair on men" quote will then ignore the rest of the chapter.

I think Paul sort of hints that this may be cultural.

BTW, Jesus Christ had long hair because he was a Nazarene.

Paul's teachings are too deep for me. He may have been one of the most intelligent people to ever walk on the planet, but I have real problems with some of what he says. Perhaps this is the sinner in me that don't want to let go. I don't know, but that is likely.

I've tried reading after the Gospel a couple of times, but it just did not make sense (particularly Paul's writings. Romans particularly). That may very well be the wickedness in me, or I'm too dumb to figure it, or it may be something else.

Anyway, I read and study the OT and the NT through the Gospels. Once the red letters are done. Then I'm done. I don't need anyone telling me what Jesus said and meant. For me, Jesus' Words are very clear, direct, and to the point. Paul rambles too much for me.
