Enseyian Logic: God Made Mistake with Facial Hair

In JR Ensey's new March blog edition, in addition to another emergent rant, JR, asks some poignant questions

Quote:
Does anyone wonder why the New York Yankee baseball players are not permitted to wear facial hair and long hair? And why almost all men in the financial world avoid wearing facial hair? Because studies have shown that men who wear facial are not as trusted as those do not since it is often viewed as a “mask.” (For more information about the wearing of facial hair, order the book Facial Hair: A Christian Perspective from advanceministries.org.)

Would God also expect us to look as good as we are when we are representing Him in public?

http://jrenseyblog.wordpress.com/2010/03/

Did God make a mistake, JR, in allowing facial hair to grow naturally on our faces? A cosmic tease? Were OT and NT men living behind "masks"?

And does he think that this study is why King George doesn't allow his ballplayers to wear facial hair?

Are these books flying of the shelves?

Are you SERIOUS?

It really, really, really bugs me that men are supposed to look to the world to see what is acceptable, and copy that. But, women are not. Women are forbidden from "looking like the world".

This facial hair thing is one of the most glaring double-standards ever.

Wow. Always love your common sense take on things.

His assertion that God wants us to look as good as we are ... goes back to what you have said about the obsession over"the look", in the previous posts.

These men have a 1950's snapshot of what Apostolic looks and dresses like, for all time, and have confused it with the Holiness of the Almighty.

Is Papa Gray ... hiding behind a mask, Elder Ensey?

He's the conservative ... YOU'RE THE LIBERAL!



And while we're at it ... why is it we don't find a record of Apostolic women "reminding" God of their uncut hair vows anywhere in the Wesleyan tradition?

Does this facial hair standard apply to Apostolics of other cultures as well?

So now we make arguments for how men should act based on what the Yankees do?

I am thinking after the next blowout service we pass around bottles of champagne and spray each other with them in celebration.

Does that mean we all have to start dating Madonna? My wife might not like that.
