The Bible references facial hair at different places in the scripture. By these references, we can infer that the Messiah had facial hair (beard), since they plucked it off his face. We also know that Aaron the High Priest had facial hair, since the scripture refers to the holy oil that runs down his beard. There are no scriptures, laws, or commandments that are against a holy man having facial hair. Our position against it is mostly based in cultural tradition passed down through since and holy people, who saw it as a sign of worldliness in their generation. I respect the tradition and never intend to have a beard or mustache, however I don't view it as a sin issue. Our church and pastor doesn't preach or teach against it, but generally speaking most align with the tradition that has been passed down to us. Our church is UPC.
