So if we are concerned about worldly appearances we should go hard after suit wearers should we not!
Why not start now? Let us declare WITH NO BIBLE SUPPORT that according to our desire to be apart from and discourage OUR PEOPLE from worldly associations and appearances NO MORE SUITS AMONG US!
You say it wont work?
Really? Its been working for DECADES concerning men wearing beards!
Its stupid the whole beard issue. Personal preference is turning into doctrine to some. And they try their hardest to use scripture even though none can be found.

I guess that wall did not do its job.

This is why I hate legalism. It turns otherwise good and respectable men into blind ideologues who hold to their position... even when it's a proven falsehood.

Jesus said that we will account for every idle word... and I'm confident that He'll be wearing a beard when He returns.
There will be no back tracking at that point. And every soul lost over their pettiness will be called to account... as they stand before a judge... wearing a beard.

Re: Marty Ballestero doesn't LIKE facial hair on m

Thats one of the replies to his blog article. How can people think like this?
How can facial hair be rebellion against God? Pride? So all those Jews MB admitted had facial hair in the bible were full of pride and rebellion against God?

Lets say it is pride. Pride is pride. It isnt rebellion. Again, said blog replier didnt give scripture.
