Even if that were the case why would you throw the nazarite vow in if it was so clearly understood that Christian men don't wear long hair?

Occasionally, for old times' sake I come back around here and post a little, but I am not interested in going into those lengthy battles that wasted a lot of my time in the past.

Call it whatever you want.
If it makes you feel good to think I am too intimidated of your intellect to debate with you, be my guest.

its not that, its just when cons lose to a logical chain of discussion, they all of a sudden get tired of talking about it rather than dig deeper and find a counter source to support their points.

Come on, Brother, the pack has never run you off before. Stay and fight, lol!
Actually, I understand your frustration, I feel it myself, from time to time.
Sometimes it's like we're in the movie "Groundhog Day", debating the exact same topics, over and over and over.
New forum, same conversations!

Brother, you don't cancel out a Scriptural principle by trotting out some historical reference.
I didn't "lose" to a logical argument; you have no argument.

I have an excuse. I am on Ferd like medication since they reopened my incision today! It is like the movie Groundhog day as I am getting to relive how I felt about two days after surgery all over again!

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

I edited my post after you responded. I know how you feel sometimes.
Seems like we've hashed out the standards issues so many times that it's hard to keep count.
