THAT is what makes this a burning issue. Souls turned away from a deeper knowledge of Christ over something that is honored in scripture but among our people scorned. Offending many seekers of truth and showing they dont love truth so much after all. Helping the Devil to discredit the teaching of Oneness doctrine by teaching error themselves.
It is for the lost and searching souls that I am offended. I was willing and did shave but over time could not stomach the extra Biblical stuff they threw out there.

I find it hard to believe that a preacher told a man they could not be saved it they were wearing a beard. I am not saying any of you that heard it are lying. It's just down right idiotic. If so the blood is on their hands.
But when we know better, we do better.
