Brother Epley is of the age that he will probably be able to live out the rest of his pastorate proudly holding this line and claiming that he is one of the few who stayed true to "good doctrine".

But it is a completely man made doctrine whose short life span of un-biblical authority in the lives of people is nearing an end.

I haven't read this whole thread, but doest not nature itself teach you that if a man has a smooth face, it is a shame unto him?

It just seems to me, that since SE seems to have such a problem distinguishing between the sexes... and runs into so many people that he can't tell whether they are a man or a woman (per SE in previous posts)... that if he allowed GOD's designed way of having gender distinction, such as men growing facial hair; it might eliminate the problem for him...? He seems to be big on "gender distinction" in one breath, but eliminates it in the next breath. Seems confusing!
