More On Beards
 

Can anyone give me a single scripture where a godly man shaved?

Re: More On Beards
 

Besides scriptures where they did it in mourning or where God commanded it as in Ezekiel.

this is going to be a lonely thread:chirp

Lol it ok...I'm used to being lonely.

I posted it for this reason because the argument keeps being made to "show one scripture where a Godly woman wore pants."

The only times I can find where Godly men shaved was in extreme mourning and humbling themselves and when God commanded it as was in Ezekiel and it almost reads like what traditionally happened when a Nazarite vow ended.

With all the arguments of "gender separation" which I agree with and in a time where there is the belief of 90+ genders, and since shaving was preached as a reaction against ungodly culture such as the hippie movement, should not we react by being as gender distinct as possible by ceasing preaching against facial hair?

We harp on women who dress like men, but why aren't we harping on men who shave and look like women?

We jump on women for outward apparel but men who shave actually modify their natural form and in doing so become more like a woman.

No movement is going to get started on AFF, brother.

Also, you would need "clout" to convince preachers, pastors, elders, etc to get on board. Otherwise, you have to look to the next generation of ministers. I doubt the no-beards position came in overnight from one person. I doubt it would change overnight from one person.

Also, a lot of people are starting to associate facial hair with being a "hipster" now, and that doesn't bode well for the beard.

Sounds like you answered your own question. LOL!

I hope it is. Wow, I checked the thread of women's pants and it now has over 10,000 views and over 600 responses. I would like to see something new but not on the same bandwagon. So I hope you are right, Sister. God Bless.

I thought God spoke to you and told you to shave? I thought God told you to shave and that if you didn't you were rebelling against him?? So why the change of position?

No Biblical mandate against beards. Only personal conviction.

Re: More On Beards
 

The Bible has no prohibition against facial hair and no prohibition against shaving off a facial hair. Not one verse telling men they are an abomination for not having a beard or having a beard. This and the Deuteronomy 22:5 thread are like comparing lemons and bowling balls.

Now that consapente89 mentioned some who God told them to call on Norelco. I have a few stories one has to do with a Cuban brother of mine who had the biggest moustache. We were in prayer meeting and he was hit hard with the Holy Ghost. Power of God was all over him (if you don't know what I'm talking about then go to an Apostolic church and find out) we had a great prayer meeting. The next time I saw him he was clean shaven. Personally I was shocked, I looked at my wife and her eyes were as big as Kennedy half a dollars. I asked him what happened? Where was the cookie duster? He told me without blinking an eye, and told me Jesus dealt with it in the prayer meeting. Now I was puzzled because there isn't a prohibition against facial hair nor is their an admonition to have facial hair. So, I mentioned this to my pastor, and some other elders.

The issue that this brother had, had little to do with the moustache. But with pride concerning the moustache. I remember we were in a Bible study years before this event. The Bible study was about forgiveness, and self sacrifice. Well, this brother leaped up and told everyone that he would NEVER shave off his lip cover. All 50 of us looked at him and shrugged our shoulders, with Mr Spock puzzled looks. He then proclaimed "my moustache is ME man!"


I remember a older sister replying to him "well that so sweet, why don't you sit down and join us"

So many things happen to us personally on so many levels when we allow the conviction of Jesus Christ to deal with us. Jesus is our pastor and He knows how to get the job done. I'm not called to go 500 pages with Aquila, to me it is like having a comic book collection, or Hot Wheels collection or even coins. It is somewhat relaxing to a point. But you always have to keep in mind that the person you are going round and round the mulberry bush with, is not going to change their position. They're convinced, signed, sealed, and delivered.

Only Jesus can change a heart, or close it shut. I just call'em like I see'em. Someone believes Deuteronomy 22:5 is about a pagan religious ceremony? Who am I to change their mind, they have far more bigger fish to fry in their skillet then if a woman can wear a pair of seal skin pants.

2017 we are heading towards 2018. This place is sinking like proverbial Atlantis. The amount of perversion is rolling its tentacles around the throat of Christendom of this country. I will never forget the time Pastor Keith McCann made a statement which went like this, "the Russian Orthodox clergy were arguing about the length of tassels on their robes. When the Communists took over the country" At that point I realized that the amount of Christians on these forums who really care are slim to none. Flamethrowing red hot Holy Ghost services are cooling down. Prayer rooms have more brooms, buckets, then weeping and snotting. Had an amazing service today, troubled teens getting blessed by the move of the Holy Ghost. Maybe one will catch a vision and go forward. My main scope of work is my city and county. If I can help my brothers around the country or around the world. But as far as forum crusading goes we just post what we believe and fly it up the flagpole. If it gets a thumbs up then hip hip hooray. If it gets attacked then on with the show. But when all is said and done we will all have to give an account for everything we have done. If we were a help or a hindrance.

Transgender United States of America and we go 600 posts on Deuteronomy 22:5. Good God from Zion.

We did more than blow the engine on this one.
