And does he think that this study is why King George doesn't allow his ballplayers to wear facial hair?

Are these books flying of the shelves?

Are you SERIOUS?

What happened to the chant of, Sola Scriptura?

I guess that only applies when talking about man made doctrines like the Trinity...oh wait...doesn't apply when the UPCI speaks ex cathedra.

Consider the scandals involving older Catholic clergy and innocent young boys and it's not too hard to see that they really are going after a particular "look."

Before Joseph was even allowed in the presence of Pharoah as a prisoner the first thing they did to him was to shave him (Genesis 41:14). Shaving the beard has always been the way the people of God were forced to take on the appearance of the heathen.

The first thing Martin Luther, John Calvin and other reformers did when they left the RCC was to grow a beard, and then take wives.

Very interesting. I am amazed at how much the RCC has influence all denomonations.

Lev 19:27 Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard.

Does this not indicate you should not have a goatee?

I'm reading 'Pagan Christianity' right now, and it truly is amazing how so many of our cherished traditions come from the Catholics, or further back. I think it's a little funny, because we revile the Catholics so much, and yet we copy them in so many things.

The whore of REV chapter 17 and all her daughters. She carries the devil's doctrine and the world believes them. I am sorry if you think this is harsh.

I know she calls herself the mother church, and I am seeing more evidence of that.
