Is that crazy enough?

I remember a Pastor preaching a whole message about that passage that says "they plucked the hair from his face" and how he KNEW for certain, from his study, that Jesus did NOT have a beard, the hair they plucked was the fine smooth hair that even newborn babies have on their skin that anyone can get with tweezers. I don't know who was manufacturing tweezers in Biblical times, but I'm sure this preacher knew. LOL I remember thinking "if he was shaving his beard, how was there possibly any little fine hair there? Did Jesus just naturally not grow facial hair due to his divine nature? Are beards part of the curse on human men?" I was a pre-teen at the time but I was so confused during that sermon! Pretty funny to think about now... that wasn't more than 20 years ago but in most places would just laugh if he tried to preach this today.
