Maybe the Angel delivered the Dead Sea scroll in your front yard this morning????

You keep avoiding it. What, then, was the hair plucked out with? Tweezers? Please answer. Who handed out the tweezers to the soldiers and bystanders to pluck out the STUBBLE?

This is getting more funny all the time.

Ludicrous is the word I would have used.

H4803

1) To polish, to sharpen a sword

2) To make one's head smooth. To make bald. To tear out, to pluck the hair in contending; in chastening; in scorn, in mouring

Doesn't sound like stubble to me.

WHY?????????????????????????????????????????????

He can; but he shouldn't say that the person growing a beard will not go to heaven... don'tcha' think?

Exactly. But why would he legislate it even if he could?

Are you reading the Reversed version?????

You can pluck my beard with one or two days growth.

Do I think he wore a beard? Probably that is NOT the point you are making statements that are nothing but assumptions and stating them as fact. And you have NO fact in scripture Jesus wore a beard. Again he probably did but you cannot prove it.

Seems to me that you make quite an assumption when you say men wearing beards will not go to heaven.
