Since I am a lady beards are really not my problem...but thinking about this : Was Jesus not a Jew? If so it seems that Jesus wore a beard. He followed Jewish law, (?) which prohibited adult males from ‘disfiguring the edges of their beard.’ (
Leviticus 19:27;
Galatians 4:4) Also, the Bible mentions Jesus’ beard in a prophecy about his suffering.—
Isaiah 50:6.of course I have heard this was because he was not able to shave and his beard grew...
Now not speaking about standards or authority of the pastor...just the fact that it seems that Jewish men did have beards....
