To Beard or Not to Beard, That is The Question

Whatever the intention was, and however it was first received and practiced, heaven and hell aside, extra-Biblical mandates always, and I mean ALWAYS become doctrines that eventually get tied to one's salvation, one way or the other. Every fence gets turned into an ancient landmark and you get the idea. Little calves become sacred cows. It might not be in the first or even second generation, but it inevitably happens.

"I may have missed the part..."? But you'd rather just post what you THINK I meant than what I actually said? How hard is it to take the time to read my words?

Enjoy your pontificating...I guess you'd rather make your own guesses into my doctrines. I don't know about calves into cows, but you sure like churning cream into butter.
