Hmmmm No scripture teaches that men must shave but you impose this doctrine on the men of your church.
That is an unscriptural teaching, therefore no divine authority is being disobeyed by a man who comes to your church with facial hair.
Sorry, don't mean to hijack a thread but when I see such inconsistency, i can't resist.
