Isn't this kind of like teaching for doctrine the commandments of men? Sure seems like it to me. Good grief, in the '60's there were lots of things we were not allowed to do: we could ONLY listen to Christian radio - and even then it was best if it was Southern Gospel music or preaching, NO TV, no movies, women's hair had to be long, uncut and up! Those were the days when we believed that if you played a record backwards you could hear subliminal messages from the devil. And that peace signs were a broken cross so therefore evil. Really? You want to stay mired in those things? I'm not living in the '60's anymore. Sorry about you.

So are you thinking that if you don't shave you can't go to Heaven either? Cuz if that's the case, I guess Jesus should have saved Himself the trouble of going to the cross and suffering for our sins. He could have based on the men's salvation on facial hair and just been done with it.

A primary purpose of the indwelling Holy spirit is to illuminate the written Word of God - not to fabricate new doctrines or institute unneeded burden on others.
