My Pastor Said I Should Stop Keeping Beards by Number2(m): 4:30pm On Dec 28, 2016
two days ago I was sitting down on my own in church when one of our pastors in my youth church called me out, only for this man to say that I should go and clear my beards... I asked him why, and he was like, 'have you seen the General Overseer of this church keeping beards,' is not good for Christians to keep beards and that I should go and clear my well shaved beards, the same pastor told my younger bro that he don't want to see him with beards again or else....

'no be say the tin rough o like mad man own o'.. hmm. na wa oo... and it got me wondering, what has beard got to do with my salvation... Dats how some churches loose their youths to another church over little things... God help us

There is no part in the bible where keeping beards is a sin... In fact you are told not to cut you beard in Leviticus 19:27 .David, Jesus and many others had a beard.
The beard is a direct gift form Jehova and that is why not everyone has it. If your pastor is preaching against keeping a beard that means he is preaching against the bible and against Christ himself(Isaiah 50:6)

Erroneous teaching. Study the bible for yourself and refuse to be put in bondage by those who desire to control men rather than be led by the Spirit.

Beards keeping is not a sin, however it has so disadvantages in the society we find ourselves, the pastor was just trying to put you in a good looking path but he should have told you the implications of keeping beards, one of them is safety from police especially on highway.

What type of drugs is the pastor on ?? Stupidity pills ??

Religion is the biggest scam in the history of mankind

I will never go to a church or any religious place of worship in my life

What is written in that bible you guys read ?? Samson never shaved his beard or hair, what of Moses and Abraham ?? They never shaved their hair, What about that your imaginary God and Jesus ?? They didn't shave their beard

What is bad about keeping beard ??

I don't blame the pastor, i blame you for choosing to sit down and listen to a crazy guy

I always get these sort of talks from people too about my beards
I ignore them. I think it is just being human, different strokes for different folks!

Personally, I'm not comfortable with the weird mohawk or punk style. That's doesn't make me change anything about people who do

I rock my full sidebeards and a goatee to match! I no find trouble!! grin

It is written

In vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men
-Mark 7 vs 7

He is foisting his personal beliefs on you. Ask him to show you what parts of the scriptures forbids men from keeping beards. If he can't then tell him to swerve and keep swerving.

If you feel comfortable allowing someone dictate to you how you should keep your facial hair then, by all means continue in the church, but if not, find another bible believing church to attend.

Today's churches have lost their bearing.

I will not blame the pastor that asked you to cut your beards because G.O. doesn't keep it, I will be angry at you if only you cut it because your pastor ordered you to do that.
Why do some pastors like making personal preferences as general standards? Pastors aren't God, don't follow them blindly; use your head, consult your bible privately also. Don't just digest all they tell you every time.
I am a christian but I can't allow any pastor (I mean no pastor) dictate how I live my life, it's personal for me.

If I don't like beards, why should I ask my church members also not to keep it, how is it a sin please?
