Minister's Manual there is nothing in there about anyone must have no facial hair. Nothing in there saying that beards are sin.

That is baloney.

All the stuff I have ever read posted on how people were kept out of Apostolic churches because of standards. There are churches that allow facial hair, and people find something else to be their excuse not to attend. Mike you been in American Christianity since you were knee high to a tall Indian, and you haven't figured it out? RELIGION is a smorgasbord of a everything you ever wanted. It is out there, there is a custom made church just for you. For me, for everyone. You might have to pack up your old kit bag and shuffle off to another destination, but that is part of the JOB. The seeker, climbs the Himalayas to find the Guru. No different with any other group. I'm not into people suffering, or know it alls wasting away on a pew. I sure can't stand belly aching (not that you are) but come on, that is baloney, that Marie stopped going to church because they don't have long sleeves, or they preached long sleeves. She stopped going because a series of things all together. Listen a beard isn't an arm, or a foot. I shaved off my facial hair then grew it back. But when my brother made a request, I considered it. I shaved it off and kept it off. If it offended my brother, I will have no facial hair as long as the world standeth? No, it doesn't say that. But if I can be the bigger kid in the sandbox, then let me try to suck it up and solider through this. Instead of wee, wee, wee, all the way home. To log onto ILG's breaking out Facebook page to have a wound licking party.

Re: Are Beards The Mark Of The Beast?

Mike, imagine you being a pastor in a congregation, where a family left because you listen to Misty Edwards? Bro, people leave because of the most simplest and bizarre reasons. "Hey, Tony, why did you leave the Church of the First Handshake?" Tony replies; "Because they didn't like a hair on my chinny, chin, chin" boo hoo hoo.

Guy leaves, I ask him why he and his family left. Because we all didn't wear white. Told him, hope what you seek is profitable.

Take Amanah's advice. Ignore L. Chancy Gore and his dumb book.
I have it, bought it at General Conference. I read it once, put it on the shelf, and it collected dust. No one to my knowledge ever read it and took it seriously. That is to my knowledge. The only one who take it seriously are those who wear beards. But Mike, Jesus is shaving your beard, and your head.

Ooooh he quotes Catholics.

OK, throw out every book that you own that quotes Catholics.

Jesus had a beard for it was prophesied they pulled the hair from his cheeks.

Isa 50:6..I gave my back to the smiters, and my..cheeks..to them that plucked off the..hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting...
