Concerning facial hair. It’s just that a “ standard “ and a good one .

Hoo-boy. I honestly don't have the time to delve into this at the moment, but if you can provide scripture to support this then I am open to my mind changing on this.
I personally taught and believed the tithing doctrine for a really long time. And I believe wholeheartedly that we must support the ministry through giving offerings, and for many of us spoiled Americans we can give over 10%, and if someone wants to give a baseline of 10%, great! But to teach that it is a God-mandated requirement for NT Christians to give 10% of every paycheck is such a huge stretch, and requires taking many scriptures out of context, from what I have studied. But I will change my mind if there is some secret scripture mandating it that has not been shown to me.
