Facial Hair - Your stance on it please
 

I know I know !! we've discussed this before but i would like everyone to refresh me on your personal stance on this issue .


Do you feel it's a sin ?

Do you feel it's not a sin but should still be a standard ?


If you are OR you was a pastor, what would be your rule on this ?

It's definitely a sin and I have it waxed off every week!:killinme :killinme :killinme

:drawguns Don't laugh you probably do too!

WHO probably does too ??

That is confidential information:oops :thwak

I'm with Rhoni on this one.

I think it is a sin for women to have facial hair.

:ty :heeheehee

a sin for lady...not a sin for a man. although, i think the guys on the platform should not have it. JMO

Nope... neither does the word of God.

Nope... It is a absolutely and totally man made standard which lies completely outside the word of God.

I am not a pastor... if I were I would not have a rule against facial hair.

(And no... I do not now have, never have in the past had, and never plan to in the future have.. facial hair)

My personal stance? I stand on my beard. And it hurts.

I really don't think God is overly concerned about beards. Or mustaches. Or facial hair. This is one of those areas that Paul wrote about, "Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind." BTW, I do have a beard... but its not long enough to stand on. (Unless someone else is doing the standing. Ouch!)

But would you have a platform standard against it ?

some pastors don't have a rule against it for those who just attend but if they are on the platform they have to shave

woman shouldnt

men should...or not

and you reason for that ?

What are you thoughts on the thad

I AM DEAD SET AGAINST IT!!!










I don't believe Women should have "Beards!":D

how about on the platform

Absolutely NOT a sin. Culturally, in the early 1900's it was acceptable for a man to have it. In the 70's, it became associated with the drug culture and the "hippies." Now, it is not a big deal. I grew a beard a while back, but Mrs. MOW is not too keen on it, and we all know what happens if Mama ain't happy!

I could care less if anyone at NLC has facial hair or not, (ladies excepted) staff or not, platform or not. However, bad attitudes are not allowed with or without facial hair and is a quicker cause for removal from anything.

If they do then they need to go get a shot of Estrogen


I'm talking about the men in Pentecostal churches

I don't believe women should cut their hair at all....head, face or legs.......PERIOD











































ha ha ha ha ha ha ha:killinme :killinme :killinme :killinme just joking

because i have never seen in on "our" platform. as far as i know, it has never been an issue. sometimes our youth leader doesnt wear a suit and sits on the platform, sing and has a part in the service. i still have a hard time getting use to that...just hard to change. know what i mean.

Not a sin. I wouldn't couldn't wear one though

I love a man with neatly trimmed facial hair;)! No difference platform or not...if it is s sin for one it is a sin for all...I vote it is not a sin for the men!

Blessings, Rhoni

I am biased.

I never Liked Beards myself even before I came to Church.
I like people who have beards-But I would never have one.

I don't think you should braid it!

:killinme :killinme :killinme :killinme :killinme :killinme

I don't think it is a sin. I've heard the argument for years....for and against....I don't think it is an issue. except for the mustaches that are long and roll up at the end.....Then it would be a sin because I don't like it! lolol

No it's not a sin.

I do not feel it's a sin nor should it be a standard.

I am a pastor and my rule on this is that beards or mustaches are not preached against neither are they encouraged.But if one has one it is to be kept clean,well kept so as to not draw undue attention to oneself.

No sir... no platform standard.

If it is not a sin then it is not a sin.

Who must I think I am if I were to make rules in excess of those the Almighty would make?

Oh

you should have specified men

so you believe it's wrong simply because you are not use to it right ?

does your church have a platform rule against it?

i didnt say it was wrong. i just do not like facial hair on the platform.

Frist of all, i respect every pastors right to set a dress code for the platform. that is no differnet than the workplace doing so and mine does.

second, beyond the above, everything should be decent and in order so scraglly is OUT.


beyond that, the bible says dont even trim your beard so anyone trying to claim a scriptural reference point is silly.

So you allow it on your platform ?


TRIPPY, you are a UPC pastor, why is it still preached against if most say it is not a sin ?

Okay, and your take on the matter ?

Need a conservative view point here

bump for thad

I think we talked about this before off forum and i vividly recall you saying it was your conviction against facial hair. nowz the time to explain why

It is NOT a sin.

It is a standard set.

I don't like beards for the most part, but IF you have one please it keep trimmed nice and neat. :)

I am far more worried about women who wear short short sleeves and do not shave their armpits

we always did but up until a few years ago the different ehtnic groups seem to have a whole different mind set on this topic then the mentality we were raised with on this issue.

I think all Women should shave or at least get wax treatments!!! :highfive
