God telling someone to grow a beard or not - that is just weird. Or is it??
Perhaps the same could be said about picking and eating corn on the sabbath... it matters nothing of great consequence... nevertheless would we say Christ did not "hear from God" to do this very thing?
Sometimes I think the Lord inspires people with holy rebellion, a divine intolerance for "sacred" rules that are rubbish. Some things, even things that were "good" at one time can become a barrier or a stumbling block.
I agree.

I knew a man who believed that God told him to shave half his head. When I asked why, with a wide eyed glare he said the Lord told him, "One half is television - the other half is the internet." I think God tells some folks what to do just so the rest of us know who the crazies are.
God told the prophets to do some pretty wierd things.

Not as weird as telling a someone to kill their child. Or telling a Jew to eat unclean animals.

There they can find plenty of fault.

Prophets yes. But if this thread is about McCary saying God told him to grow a beard and join a Trinity org. he is off his rocker! I really don't think God cares about a beard or no beard. That is just stupid religion. UPC does not like beards, but the Church of God Jerusalem Acres loves them, both are just man made standards of silliness!
