Facial Hair - Your stance on it please

[LadyChocolate]

Thad secretly has a beard but he shaves it so no one will know!!!

[freeatlast]

From scripture we know Mephibosheth had a mustache.
David let his spitt run down his beard 1 Sam 21:13

Ezra had aq beard Ez 9:3

Jesus had a beard Is 50:6

Aaron had a beard Ps 133:2

All of Davds made had beards, Hanun siezed them and to humilate them cut off one side of their beards. 2 Sam 10:45

Lev 19:27 Commands God s people in the OT not to clip the edges of their beards

There is MORE biblical support for Christian me to wear beards than to shave.

But, oh well so much for our scripturual consistency.

We'll load every regulation we can on women but not on man.

I have mustache and goatee going since Sunday. I've had it before but my daughter wanted me to shave it off for her wedding.

It's coming back. hope my wife likes it. ;-)

Do you feel it's a sin ? NO

Do you feel it's not a sin but should still be a standard ? NO


If you are OR you was a pastor, what would be your rule on this ?

Not a pastor, but I think it should be changed. If it isn't in the Bible then there is nothing wrong with it.

I can not believe this topic was posted at around 2:30 and it already has over 12 pages to it! Thad you sure know how to make people talk!

OH Okay okay it's been revealed

There has been a double standard in enforcing this rule in the fellowship ... for example Jamaican and Hispanic ministers often are never questioned for having facial hair

For me, none means none..... I don't wear any of it. I don't see the difference..if you are going to preach no gold, then don't get around it by having gold hair decor, buckles or buttons.... that is just me... No, i don't wear a wedding band either....no jewelry means none! *NO this is not open season on chocolate lady for yall to blast her ....I know where yall stand...We aint gonna change eachothers views....*.
