Unnessercery divides the body, like some preachers saying that if you don't have a beard you are effeminate.

Hey, if the elders and the church family are cool about wanting no beards then have at it. If the elders and the church family are cool with having beards have at it. 12 Tribe community you either have a beard or you are not in their club period. That's what they want, their members are willing and wanting to go along with the program. If I don't like it I can take my dollies and move down the road. No harm, and no foul. All this "divide" the Body stuff is a bunch of triple venti latte snowflakes and soft hands. If you walk into a church and the men all have beards and you aren't into it then take it on down the line. If you walk into a church and their clean shaven as a baby's hind end, wearing suits with black ties, white shirts, and ferragamo slippers, but that's not your cup of Joe Bandy, then time to go. 80,000 different denominations, churches, and schisms in this country alone so you have quite a selection to be the church of your choice on Sunday or Saturday.
