Actually no. I don't believe there's a picture anywhere of the real Jesus Christ. Full beard or not. What pictures have been passed off as being of Jesus are not.

Here Mr. Gore teams up with the Roman Catholics.

Facial Hair Pg. 26

The Encyclopedia Brittanica points out that "for the most part the clergy of the ROMAN OBEDIENCE SHAVED CLEAN as have done THE POPES for two centuries or more."

Ban it? Maybe they should have a good 'ole fashioned book burnin'.

Most of the time UPCI HQ does not operate the booths at these camp meetings. There have been a couple times I've seen PPH reps at a conference here with a booth from WEC. But I wouldn't assume Bernard or Jones knows what was being sold, or that they've read it.

RR wrote some books with weird stuff in them, sounds like this book is one of those.

None. Zero. Nada.

I get that you wear a beard and thus are offended by the existence of this book, the author and anyone who dares take an opinion against beards.

Take Amanah's advice. Ignore L. Chancy Gore and his dumb book.

The Catholics are usually considered "Babylonian 3 God worshipers" by Apostolics.

But in FACIAL HAIR the author quotes them as authorities. Page 33-34

Some BISHOPS preached the gospel of the razor proclaiming that the wearer of facial hair took after GOATS " who's filthy lasciviousness is shamefully imitated by FORNICATORS AND SODOMITES

The Council of Limoger affirmed that shaving provided THE CLERGY WITH NECESSARY DISTINCTION. This Council ordered all CLERGYMEN within its juristiction to shave.

Pope Gregory was a great enemy of facial hair. He maintained that any priest who wore a beard was guilty of a serious crime.

It staggers me to think there are those thinking that I oppose this trite because I have a beard and therefore am offended. I oppose it on the grounds not one Bible verse opposes it. Because it is indicating all men with beards are sinners. I oppose it on the grounds untold numbers of godly holiness, truth loving brothers have been kept out of "Apostolic" Churches because of this utterly false doctrine.

The reason I cant Ignore this book is because it is false doctrine from top to bottom. How many already HAVE BEEN OR WILL BE deceived because of this stuff. Thats why rather than ignore it we should stand firm against it.
