Ever wonder why God just didn't appear on the scene instead of being born and going through being human? It's not like He never appeared before men in the past, so why didn't He just come down as a man and start preaching?

Because He wouldn't have been accepted by anyone at all, that's why. He had to come down, adapt to being human, being a Jew, and living life as they did. This is something He'd never done before.
Not sure I understand your point?

Jesus Christ didn't have to adapt to being human. He was/is human. Did you have to adapt to your humanity? I don't think I did.

I would never suggest that Paul or Jesus sinned, but that's not what was meant by 'become all things to all men'.

By nature ,males and females look different we're born that way ,so that would go into hair as well.
Long tresses of hair look femine ,buzz cuts look manly.

Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever.
I believe He became like them to win them in the same sense Paul became like them to win them.

Sorry, I can't agree. God in flesh did not become a sinner. He became sin. I think there is a HUGE difference, maybe you don't.

I think she wanted me to know, hey I bought this for full price.--I probably go around the church and tell everyone I get things on "sale" without realizing it--so someone had to set the record straight that they don't!
