And does he think that this study is why King George doesn't allow his ballplayers to wear facial hair?

Are these books flying of the shelves?

Are you SERIOUS?
Nobody trusted Jesus? Nobody trusted the Apostles? WOW

Relax folks.
Facial hair is allowed on the platform at GC so it is no longer a sin.

Hope thats true. Yet there are more Oneness Pentecostals outside the UPC than inside it. Will they soon follow into more light?

I'd be more willing to pick up the razor if he had used the Red Sox as an example...

Re: Enseyian Logic: God Made Mistake with Facial H

[QUOTE=Sam;884600]One Sunday night in his sermon our pastor said, "The Bible teaches that a man is supposed to be clean shaven." I grew a beard once and the Elder started on me about my beard.I believe it was going on for a couple of months.Mean time the Bishop and Overseer of the Organization was very sick with diabetes and was I believe bedridden for about a month guess how he looked like when he came back?

Of course - and not just the Yankees but also the appearances of those who brought on the current financial mess through their fraud and deceit.

Re: Enseyian Logic: God Made Mistake with Facial H

The Roman Catholic Church has required its clergy to be clean shaven: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/02362a.htm. It's not too much of a stretch to see the "clean shaven" face of a man as a way of making him appear younger and more vulnerable. Consider the scandals involving older Catholic clergy and innocent young boys and it's not too hard to see that they really are going after a particular "look."

Before Joseph was even allowed in the presence of Pharoah as a prisoner the first thing they did to him was to shave him (Genesis 41:14). Shaving the beard has always been the way the people of God were forced to take on the appearance of the heathen.

The first thing Martin Luther, John Calvin and other reformers did when they left the RCC was to grow a beard, and then take wives.
