Leviticus 19:27

You shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of THY BEARD.

So even tho GOD commanded the Jews not to mar the corners of their BEARDS it was worldly? So now the standard Popes know more about what looks worldly than God does!

Ok so we are following Mosaic law now? In our day it is looking like the world. I will remind you if your going to use that law, you have to adhere to the rest too. Oh and "Ye shall not round the corners of your heads", make sure you follow that too, not just the part you agree with!!

Not per me or anyone else, only the Bible. Now if it's a standard that is something different. But a sin no, but if your pastor preaches against it not as sin but as a standard you should do it. Because there is liberty in submitting to God's government even when you don't understand. Now I know people on here like to take everything to the farthest extent. But nothing about that teaching is immoral, so just submit. You can always grow a beard and go to another church at a later time. But don't judge things before the time. If you will get on board with the man of God, you will find a liberty. In that I promise.. Now here comes an attack, but "What I have written I have written."

I believe that a "standard" should have biblical merit, a lawful standard is based on Scripture, not a man's, nor a denomination's arbitrary opinion or private interpretation. Else the church in question will be conformed into the pastor's, or denomination's, image...and not Christ's, in accordance to the Scriptures.

Also, such a position opens the door to innumerable arbitrary standards.

Ok name one more thing that is preached that you don't agree with. Because I don't see things being added. What else do they Preach that is not Scriptural? Because facial hair means nothing really.

Ok so we are following Mosaic law now?

Duet 22:5

5The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.

Are we?

Because facial hair means nothing really.

If so why do they preach against it?

DEUTERONOMY 22:5 Says "it's a abomination to the Lord." That is a moral law God does not change. He hated it then, He hates it now. That wasn't said in Leviticus 19:27, it can't be compared.

In our day it is looking like the world.

Who gave that discernment? Lets look into something that in our day is adored by the world.
Something that almost all Preachers wear every time they preach.

Suits are worldly!


Are Politicians worldly? Congressman, Senators, Governors?
Are CIA and FBI worldly?
Are Mafia worldly?
Are the Hollywood actors worldly?

What do these have in common with Apostolic Preachers and many Church members?

They all wear suits!

But yet in our day.....they are not worldly?

Oh so we ARE going to preach Moses. I see.

OK!

More abominations.

Leviticus 11:10-11

10And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you: 11They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination. 12Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.

Is this abomination in effect? Do you teach it?

I'm examining Apostolic churches in my area. So far, all teach that beards are either a "sin", or they admit that it isn't a "sin", but they preach against them for being "worldly". And on what basis are they determined to be worldly? But isn't worldliness sin?

We've been called to dress moderately. But if we take away suits what are the men of God supposed to wear? Let's just follow this line of thoughts.

Pork and shellfish are listed as abominations too. Do you believe that the dietary code still stands?
