To Beard or Not to Beard, That is The Question

[Michael The Disciple]

I didn’t say it was never preached against. I’m sure it was nailed hard on the 60-70s and even the 80s.

Well yes. Also the 90's and up till now. There is a book on "facial hair" that was being sold by the Pentecostal Publishing House as recently as last year insinuating that beards could be the mark of the beast.

Or one wearing them may well be gay or a drug dealer.

The reason it’s still an issue is because there generally are deeper issues that such a simple standard can reveal. I have taught many times against the wearing of facial hair when teaching on holiness on a good old bible study day at the church. I always let people know it’s a standard of the church and not biblical holiness.

So if one has a beard its a sign of deeper inner issues. So you teach against wearing beards when you teach on holiness but admit its not Bible holiness?

What other kind of holiness is there?
