"Jesus a Nazarite??"


There is absolutely no evidence that Jesus was a Nazarite. In fact there is more evidence that he was NOT. We must take the Bible as it is written and people try to "read into" different ideas and it causes confusion.
The reason Jesus told his disciples that he would drink no wine until he sees them is because he was getting ready to be killed.
Matthew 26
29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.
 
I will not print the rest of the chapter but we all know Jesus was close to his death.
 
Also Jesus did not have long hair as all the pictures show us.
1 Corinthians 11
14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?
 
Please remember that when Paul wrote this he wrote it under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. If he tells us it is a shame for a man to have long hair then surely Jesus would not contradict what the Holy Spirit had Paul write. And yu cannot tell me this is cultural because Jesus was living during that time period and Paul says even "nature" itself teaches that.
 
And let us not forget that Jesus touched dead people and he gave them life.
 
So to say he took a Nazarite vow before he died is crazy.
