TRIPPY, you are a UPC pastor, why is it still preached against if most say it is not a sin ?
Because people don't like change ... I'm considered ultra con by most and I don't see scripture against it!

I heard an independent preacher preach once that the reason facial hair is preached against is from when the hippy movement came in, men weren't supposed to be associated with them.......so men began to shave more often...And i've also heard that it is "sissyfied" to be clean shaven.....sigh, just another topic to argue!!!

Skirts, now that is a different issue. I think women should wear them and men should not.

i NEVER said it was a conviction. i like a guy with a little 5:00 shadow! i do not like it on the platform....no conviction. just not use to it.
