Bible Note: Dear Paul, I thank you for the clarification- it does help. And, I can appreciate the time and study that you did. However,with all due respect, I would call what "some Baptist preachers" may not be allowing as pure and simple legalism. I attended a Baptist church here in the NW some years ago and facial hair was not part of their practice. I'm simply not convinced that there is any mandate, or preference in God's Word to support this contention. Ultimately, there are far more important issues to be studied and discussed in my honest opinion (Rom. 14:1). May God bless you in your walk and may you find His grace to be sufficient:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
