Re: How many times did you ask God for the Holy Gh
Some things are preached as preferences. Beards are not discussed in scripture too much, but the Jews were commanded not to touch their beard.
Leviticus 19:27:Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard.
Leviticus 21:5:They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.
There seems to be an all or nothing approach when it comes to beards in the Bible, therefore, sense we can't look neat with a beard that is never trimmed, we should shave it off.
As for the sleeves, a line has to be drawn somewhere. I don't want people up on our platform with muscle shirts on. If you don't draw the line somewhere, you
're going to have a hard time maintaining any type of holiness.

It's the liberals on this site that are fakes. I'm just preaching the truth

Where does the Bible say we should "look neat"?

I know what you mean. The last church I attended didn't have a dress code for the platform, and I had to stop going when the worship leader quit wearing clothes altogether.
(Hey, if you can pull our legs, we can pull yours! )

That's the most illogical thing I've ever heard in my life. Seriously. I've heard some goofy reasoning, but that tops it.
You just posted where GOD commanded them to NOT SHAVE it. Why do you get to ignore that??
