Hearts are revealed? What are you, the Psychic Berniecostal Prophet of Gloom sent to reveal everyone's Not-As-Holy-As-Thine heart?

Get out of here.

I think liberalism really is a mental disorder.

That is the truth, and I can see it; that's hilarious (I truly Lol'ed). Anything anybody takes a stand on people blow out of proportion, but will drive down the road with signs and laws all day, and never complain. When I was in the world I would adhere to a dress code to go to a club, or even to court and "such did some of you too." But when it comes to the house of God people get to over reacting. Blowing things out of proportion.

Some of these same people would say "although tobacco isn't necessarily a SIN, I don't want to see anyone on the platform with a lit ceegar or a lip full o dip" and not bat an eye.

Justifications forthcoming in 3, 2, 1...

Bro,I have never heard someone preach or teach that it is a sin. Because I have a beard every morning. I shave it off, and guess what? It grows by the afternoon. If I let it grow I would make ZZ Tops cry in his wild turkey bite. Seriously, my hair grows so fast on my chin that I can cut it off and send it to Michael the Disciple to cover his head, and to cover up those cat whiskers he calls a beard.

Or, has your position on beards evolved?

Did Mich have a beard? Or did her live in boyfriend have a beard or both?

No, nothing has changed, I still keep my self clean shaved, but everyone else who sports a mustache, or a beard is up to them. The scripture doesn't teach that it is mandatory to wear a beard, or that there is a prohibition against beards. I know guys who preach if you don't wear a beard it is effeminate. So, it is a standard that they are teaching.

Hence the reason the liberal will be the prime tool in the fall of society as we know it. Christianity will be left to a small remnant while the greater portion will be the State Church were doctrine will be what is good for the state.

I've never heard anyone say it's a sin. Although I did hear brother N.A. Urshan say the thing in a message about homosexuals wearing beards cut a certain way to identify them as homosexuals, like wearing a ear ring in a certain ear. He didn't say it was a sin; but he said just like everyone else I've ever heard say about it, that we shouldn't look like the world.
I can see that because people in the world see on the outside before they notice what you have inwardly. The outwardly will make them analyze you and allow them to see you are different inwardly. That's the only way I've ever heard it preached. Though I have heard when you start to rebel against your pastor the first thing someone will do will start with their hair or facial hair most times. So I can say beware, 1 Samuel 15:23 is something we should all stay aware of!! 2 Corinthians 13:5 "Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?" And nobody became a reprobate all in one night, it starts one decision and compromise at a time. I encourage you to take a stand on that serpents head and don't let off.

Here comes the attack, but as Pilate said in John 19:22 "What I have written I have written."

It probably won't be the beard that takes you to hell, so I wouldn't get to worked up about that at this point.

Pilate was the bad man.
