To Beard or Not to Beard, That is The Question

Definitely

[Act 1:11 NASB] 11 They also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven."

But Dom believes Jesus came in 70ad.

The issue isnt the propriety of male facial hair, or lack thereof.

The issue is the extent of a man's authority over other men, and which paradigm of authority is to operate in the church: the secular paradigm? Or the Biblical?

Beards are not encouraged where I attend. It is a "platform standard" Church.

And you believe God speaks Hebrew, and wants to be referred to in Hebrew. You believe that Satan flies a starship, and that God is ecstatic when you get dressed up in burlap. Mike, YAH wants you to speak English, get out of the house more, and invite me to your home.

If I was the pastor, I would climb off the platform. Then grab you by the back of your collar, with my other hand through your belt loop. Then with your head open the double doors. Then send you YAH, YAH, away!

Nice deflection Dom. Would you act any different toward me at my house than you do here?

Mike, the problem is that we aren’t face to face. That is the story of your life, alone, and shapeshifting. Again, you aren’t part of a church family, you go to take in the show. Your eschatology is pre trib Dispensationalism just with the bus arriving at a later time. You are a Judaizer, wrapped in burlap. You salavate over stupidity like someone asking their people on the platform to shave. But guess what you attend that sort of church. Why am I not surprised? You, Reckart, and Steve Winter should start an eldership, but the problem is you would meet in the morning, and all be found dead before sunset.
