There has been some recent discussion on men's beards. The bible says two things: 1: Men are to keep beards (does not specify thickness or length) 2: It is a shame for men to have long hair (This would include long beards) ZZ Top and The Oakridge Boys are prime examples ... The Apostolic and many other church organizations have it all wrong in the reverse keeping completely clean shaven faces ... All the Scriptures I see referring to the use of a razor are each in regards to individual situations according to the persons involved. They are not set laws ... It is women who are to avoid cutting the hair on their heads. The issue of the Vow Of Nazarite does not state that it is ok for women to cut their hair after the time of the vow is finished ... Some people of less intelligence state that the Laws Of Moses do not apply to everyone. That would then conclude that neither do the Ten Commandments. Obviously then such a claim is blasphemy ... I truly believe that the event with Samson and the removal of his hair contributed to the later inspired teachings from Paul ... Conclusion: Keep the beard on your face short and neat as well as the hair on the top of your head. How short is between you and God ... You all know the Scriptures, you all know what they say, that is why they offend you, because they inconvenience you ... well living for God is not about you, making God's will about you is living for self!
