dreadlocks significance in my opinion[bible reference]

Let me shed some light on why Dreadlocks hold any sort of significance.
Pull out your Bible, I know you have one if you're reading this.
Or go online:
Flip to Numbers chapter 6[fourth book of the Bible, in OT, should be around page 100 or so]
The Nazirite Laws is covered in chapter 6 of Numbers
The Lord reveals a special separation from world to Moses, which Moses shares with the Israelites and Nazirites.

1. The LORD said to Moses,
2. "Speak to the Israelites and say to them: `If a man or woman wants to make a special vow, a vow of separation to the LORD as a Nazirite,
3. he must abstain from wine and other fermented drink and must not drink vinegar made from wine or from other fermented drink. He must not drink grape juice or eat grapes or raisins.
4. As long as he is a Nazirite, he must not eat anything that comes from the grapevine, not even the seeds or skins.
5. "`During the entire period of his vow of separation no razor may be used on his head. He must be holy until the period of his separation to the LORD is over; he must let the hair of his head grow long.
6. Throughout the period of his separation to the LORD he must not go near a dead body.
7. Even if his own father or mother or brother or sister dies, he must not make himself ceremonially unclean on account of them, because the symbol of his separation to God is on his head.
8. Throughout the period of his separation he is consecrated to the LORD.
9. "`If someone dies suddenly in his presence, thus defiling the hair he has dedicated, he must shave his head on the day of his cleansing--the seventh day.
10. Then on the eighth day he must bring two doves or two young pigeons to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
11. The priest is to offer one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering to make atonement for him because he sinned by being in the presence of the dead body. That same day he is to consecrate his head.
12. He must dedicate himself to the LORD for the period of his separation and must bring a year-old male lamb as a guilt offering. The previous days do not count, because he became defiled during his separation.
13. "`Now this is the law for the Nazirite when the period of his separation is over. He is to be brought to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
14. There he is to present his offerings to the LORD: a year-old male lamb without defect for a burnt offering, a year-old ewe lamb without defect for a sin offering, a ram without defect for a fellowship offering, [1]
15. together with their grain offerings and drink offerings, and a basket of bread made without yeast--cakes made of fine flour mixed with oil, and wafers spread with oil.
16. "`The priest is to present them before the LORD and make the sin offering and the burnt offering.
17. He is to present the basket of unleavened bread and is to sacrifice the ram as a fellowship offering to the LORD, together with its grain offering and drink offering.
18. "`Then at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, the Nazirite must shave off the hair that he dedicated. He is to take the hair and put it in the fire that is under the sacrifice of the fellowship offering.
19. "`After the Nazirite has shaved off the hair of his dedication, the priest is to place in his hands a boiled shoulder of the ram, and a cake and a wafer from the basket, both made without yeast.
20. The priest shall then wave them before the LORD as a wave offering; they are holy and belong to the priest, together with the breast that was waved and the thigh that was presented. After that, the Nazirite may drink wine.
21. "`This is the law of the Nazirite who vows his offering to the LORD in accordance with his separation, in addition to whatever else he can afford. He must fulfill the vow he has made, according to the law of the Nazirite.'"
22. The LORD said to Moses,
23. "Tell Aaron and his sons, `This is how you are to bless the Israelites. Say to them:
24. "` "The LORD bless you and keep you;
25. the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you;
26. the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace."'
27. "So they will put my name on the Israelites, and I will bless them."

-Samson held the Nazirite vow and he attained great power
-other characters have been mentioned to have held the Nazirite vow and have attained powers
-Even if you do not obtain powers, it is certainly a great covenant to make
overall, this is why i think dreadlocks are significant in comparison to other hair
however, all aspects of the Nazirite vow must be maintained pure
i hope this helped confused people who find significance in dreadlocks, but arent sure why they do

 

lol @ the bible

Why try to find such a deep divine meaning in something as simple as hair?

 

I bet Pat burnt his

And it doesn't have anything to do with drealdocks! It just says they can't cut it.
They can still run their fingers and a comb through!

 

lol my bible? I Don't have one

If I did though, I would pull a Slayer and "keep it in a pool of blood so that none of it's lies could affect me"

lol Slayer rules

 

you should start at square one, and ask why someone should find divine meaning in anything

 

exactly

the idea of divinity is ridiculous

 

the Nazirites had dreadlocks
combs and shampoo didnt exist[at least they are never mentioned]
even if they played with their hair - it would have become dreadlocks
and whos to say that straight hair thats grown out doesnt have the same significance as dreadlocks?

 

haha, yeah Slayer :cheers2:

I'm wearing one of their shirts in one of my recent pics in my timeline

How do you know? I'm sure some kind of combing tool would have been around.
I'm no expert though. I'm just assuming. Just like I'm assuming that your assuming.

 

the bible and the twilight series are worst books ever written

 

lol this is turning into a bible bashing thread

 

The Bible is legit
Twilight series? no comment. never read

 

+1

The Bible is legit?
You Christians spend to much time trying to promote your religion rather than practicing it.
I'm only talking about the christians who go door knocking, give out junk mail on the street, creating threads about the bible on a non bible forum, stand out side of Heavy Metal concerts warning the metalheads what they are about to enter, stuff like that

 

^ i see you're pretty quiet to respond to me grass hopper

 

gotta bash something

 

no it isn't

My great great great great grandfather could have wrote it

No proof anything in it is real in anyway. Just like twilight

 

and the idea of nothing coming from nothing is much more logical

 

the bible is the tool of the devil dude
its legit as MJ's nose

 

never said it was

but there is nothing logical in the bible at all. And anyone who believes it is quite delusional

 

The bible is a decent book, doesn't matter if it's real or not, it gives some people hope for life after death... Therefore it's a good book... No more needs to be said

 

unless your great great great great grandfather was an Israelite and lived in the days of 1st century-4th century AD, he didnt. and giving that each great counts for 4 generations, and grand counting for 2, thats 6 generations. a maximum of 600 years ago and thats being very genorous. so the Bible was written in 1400? silly Pat
