    He was a nazarite and traditionally nazoreans who devoted themselves to God would take a nazorean vow and this would imply no shaving of the head (hair or beard).

      He was a Nazarene. This doesn't mean he took a Nazarite vow. People from champagne don't universally drink sparkling wine.

        Never said he took the vow. I will say however that Jesus had no real home to himself and would sleep at the houses of people who would invite Him in. Jesus' main focus was to establish the new covenant. I don't think He cared too much for His appearance.

      There is absolutely no evidence of Jesus being a Nazritie. If he was a Nazirite, he would have to bring a sin offering at the end of his vow period, which cuts against the notion of Jesus being sinless. Not to mention that the words "Nazarene" and "Nazirite" have distinct triconsonantal roots in their Hebrew forms; they're about as etymologically related as "Ant" and "Aunt".

        Not every Nazorite took the vow.

          Literally what makes a Nazirite a Nazirite is taking the vow. I would also point out that the vow prohibits the drinking of wine, something which the gospels mention Jesus doing.

            You're right. I know, which is why I never said Jesus took it.

              If you knew that, you wouldn't say retarded things like
              >Not every Nazorite took the vow.
              Nor would you claim he was a nazarite like you did in the first response of the thread.

      *nazorite vow

      This is disprovable in the fact that he touched corpses like Lazarus without a problem. A Nazarite cannot touch a corpse. Or anything to do with wine for that matter.

        Yes, I mistyped nazorite and instead should have written nazorean.

          There is no connection between "Nazarene" and "Nazirite". They are literally two different root stems.

            Alright, if you say so. I'm not concerned with things that don't impact my faith in the slightest. Knowing these things is not necessary for my salvation, nor is it a prerequisite for anything the faith implies or offers.

    probably more similar to most depictions in iconography; long hair in a single braid and probably a beard.
    unsure, and the question is quite frivolous, though.
