That would be evident just because He was wearing a beard. Surely Jesus would never do such a thing.

You and the other beardos are assuming Jesus would be wearing a robe and growing a beard today. What evidence do you have of this?
It was Jewish custom to grow a beard in Biblical days, as it was to wear a robe.
I don't not believe, were Jesus to appear in human form again today, he would be rocking a robe and sandals. I doubt he'd have a beard either.
But this argument that, "Jesus wouldn't be welcomed on your platforms" is absurd! Talk about feelz and an emotion-based statement.
