"Beards are sin!" False doctrine?

[Aquila]

I have a dream that my children will one day attend a church where they will not be judged by the amount of hair on their faces, but by the content of their character.

I have a dream today!

A - I notice you did not say "sons" but "children".
So, you would have no problem with a female saint with a beard on the platform.
Now, seriously, the only thing this entire thread is showing is that you and a few others have some issues with wanting to show how much you are persecuted by evil pastors.
If I remember correctly, at the beginning of this thread you even called Bro Epley a liar, basically, for saying that he had never heard of someone calling a beard a sin.
So, whatever...

Are you saying you'd judge a woman based on her facial hair or lack thereof over the content of her character?

Nope. I wanted to know if teaching that a beard is "sin" was a false doctrine. That was firmly established by all parties involved. But then it evolved. If a beard isn't a "sin".... then why treat men with beards like second class citizens in the Kingdom of God?

I think we've all heard men say, or insinuate, that growing a beard was sin on account of it representing hippies and "rebellion", or on account of being in violation of pastoral edict on standards. If you haven't, I evidently came up in a far more conservative church than y'all did.
