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: Azure- very good point. Our own Native Americans do not grow facial hair. More appropriately I should say that of the tribes I am familiar with they don't. Furthermore, the more pure their blood-line the more likely the men have no facial hair. Although this might be the most rediculous topic I personally have seen on the forum I felt your point was important enough to be reiterated. By the way- though we have never met face to face, I am a clean shaven, well groomed man and though I've never had a professional manicure- I suddenly have the urge to rush out and have one. I'll need to check my schedule to see if I can squeeze it in. I love the truth of an amazing Creator God who breathed not only life into us but gave us each our very own unique look. It's kinda funny. There are two dogs in my neighborhood that look exactly alike. And those two look exactly like hundreds others of the same label that I have seen in my life. None of them were bearded though. And to think- in 42 years of work and travel I have not yet seen a single human that looks even similar to myself. God bless, Jeff PS. does anyone know the height range for a Godly manly man? |
