AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Chronicles 19:5 When David was told how the men were treated, he sent messengers to meet them, for they were very humiliated and ashamed [to return]. So the king said, "Stay in Jericho until your beards grow [back], and then return." |
Subject: Should Christian men wear a beard? |
Bible Note: I know of no scripture that prohibits men from wearing a beard even though the church I go to is a member of an organization that teaches that men should not. I will not name the organization. The rational behind this is that wearing a beard is "worldly", I think that it probably comes from the fact that so many groups such as the hippies, beatnicks ect. that had life styles opposed to christianity wore beards that it was decided that to wear a beard would tend to associate the wearer with these groups and their life styles. I personally dissagree with this rational. Tommyboy |
