This is a prime example used by many in the UPCi who believe that if you "question" certain things you will begin to fall away, and eventually be lost.
D,
I hope you continue to seek Jesus, and not the tradition of men.

Re: The Godly Beard
The whole anti-beard thing is a 1960's anti-hippie thing dragged into the 21st century with no scriptural support whatsoever.

My book is still for sale on Cafepress, because I spent a significant portion of my life writing it. However, as I am no longer Apostolic, I removed the free version. I advise you to not read it. Once you start questioning anything, you will questioning everything. And you may not like what you learn.
Out of respect for all of you, I do not tell you what to think about your own religion, of which I am no longer a part of. I only post this one thread, and will not post again on this forum, again out of respect.
Listen to your leaders, if you wish to avoid conundrums. Such is the path of contentment. Peace and blessings to all of you.

I cannot swallow that. Where are the Bereans who search the scriptures to see if things are so, rather than swallow everything someone tells them? Yes, we will avoid hassles if we just be quiet and accept what "elders" tell us, but a true elder will urge us to never accept anything from him unless we see it plainly in scripture, ourselves. The peace we get from not making waves is a false peace and only storing up trouble with God for another day.

Re: The Godly Beard
I haven't read the book and I don't plan on it because I believe it is wrong for men to have a beard, I don't care how godly the beard is suppose to be. Doesn't it talk about being clean shaven? I feel like it still stands true in these days that we live in.

Re: The Godly Beard
What is "it"? And if "it" is the Bible, then no

No, the BIBLE does NOT "talk" about being clean shaven. Your pastor lied to you and you didn't bother to search for yourself.

Right. Jesus had a beard, for goodness' sake!
