Now before you sling the stone David, It was not talking about baldness, but the role of the gender. Nature, short hair, beards shorn, vanity Now the oxymoron of this is if you have a beard or gotee or mustache, you probably won't ge it. Because they are a darkening of your understanding Epn 4:17

What does short hair have to do with a beard? The length of the beard can be long or short but that doesn't speak in the least to the very existence of one.
