Now read slowly Nazareth is a town not a vow.  Nazarite is not a town it is
a way of life.  You only prove my point showing he worked and lived in city
of Nazareth, you can spell can you?  Check it out in a dictionary or map,
"A historic town in northern Israel that is mentioned in the Gospels
as the home of Joseph and Mary"  Your welcome.

Jesus the Christ is still from City of Nazareth in the area of Galilee. 
"An area of northern Israel; formerly the northern part of Palestine
and the ancient kingdom of Israel; the scene of Jesus's ministry"

An argument must be based on fact, there is no fact that he had long hair,
the pictures of him were made a thousand some years later and did for the
R.C.Church.
I do not see any confusion if one takes the time to study the Holy Bible on
this matter, I would think even the Koran does not say Jesus had long hair
either.  I do not have my copy of the Koran to check it out, do you?

Then there is no picture or any drawing of Jesus from the time he walked
the earth. Jesus was born a Jew, and the pictures we see of him are of a
white person with a European noise, etc, which a true Jew does not have,
unless they get a noise job.

He did have a short beard or facal hair as they did puck it out the Bible
says when they mocked Jesus.
