"Beards are sin!" False doctrine?

So because its a standard all should blindly obey? Do Apostolic Pastors get to make up their own rules?

I agree.

No one said anything about no one heard it preached against, but what was said was quote unquote it's a sin to have a beard. I have never heard that.
Standards have been what they are forever in my church, they are all 3rd and 4th generation. How can I want them to change? But no one has ever told me it was a sin.

How about the multitude of men, having seen the light on Oneness have drawn back because of the traditional, man made doctrine they see among us that somehow a beard is unholy? They think they wont have to give an account for this?

First they tell people if they dont attend an Apostolic Church they will burn in hell forever. Then when the guy comes and he is preached at, or against for having a beard, he sees that Apostolics are a lot like Trins. They Preach what seems right in their own eyes. So they write off Oneness as just another cult.

What's ludicrous is people need a Phonics review. Nobody said beards aren't preached against. What some of us are saying is we've never heard beards called SIN.

Amen. And for everyone who doesn't like it, find you a liberal UPC church with mood lights that's like a high-class jazz bar, and no altars and all that and go there. But don't complain about standards. If it's a deal breaker find you some standards you can adhere to!! Just beware that's a dangerous path!! Ok enough of this!! Moving on!!

He didn't say it was a sin; but he said just like everyone else I've ever heard say about it, that we shouldn't look like the world.

Ok its about looking like the world? Does YAH say wearing a beard is looking like the world?

Leviticus 19:27

You shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of THY BEARD.

So even tho GOD commanded the Jews not to mar the corners of their BEARDS it was worldly? So now the standard Popes know more about what looks worldly than God does!

But my question is WHY PREACH AGAINST BEARDS? So its ok to run people out of Church or never let them in in the first place over something everyone knows IS NOT A SIN?

If we all know its not a sin why preach against it?

I think the truth of the matter is, that there are those among us who think they have a better idea . . .

Because we have preached sin into extinction?

So we must find something else to preach?

Dom,

You must have missed my question. I asked what is your Church policy on beards? Are they preached against? If so why? Does ANYONE there have a beard?
