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

If you are really committed to the things of God, you wouldn't open this kind of thread.

Tell him to go fak himself.

All prophet of God have at least 3 things in common:

1.Beard
2. Are Shepherd
3.Wear a robe-a flowing gown

As long as there is no bible verse to back it up your pastor's view is just his opinion. Which you can choose to follow or disregard

This is one of the techniques employed to brainwash people . Control! That is how one church told its married members to use only missionary style as all other positions are sinful.

Imagine trying to control what happens in the bedroom of members.

Anyway such control is the only way to make the zombies empty their pockets.

Op is that the only church?

Tell him to take your tithe and leave your beard for you.

Ask the pastor, what about the fake picture bn circulated around as Jesus Christ having beard

This is very funny n crazy ..... I kip beards too. Nicely kept beards are worth admiring ... I started keeping beards when I noticed that it helped me control the bumbs I used to HV.... Not all jaws are clipper friendly..

How has this thread negated being committed to the things of God? This is just a blackmail attempt people use to silence you. Can't one question pastors or their actions? Bearing in mind, not all pastors are even genuine, so why should we keep silent?

it's better it's off, I guess it's redeem, I used to be like you till I understand the reasons,

definately RCCG

hahahahah oya op upload your beards now make we see....oya go barb am. Na choir u wan start so..

Went to my parents church on Christmas day and one of their pastors called me aside and commented on my beard. I told him that in the Bible, cutting it was a sign of mourning. I also asked him to name any Disciple or Apostle without a beard and he couldn't answer. He simply stylishly changed the topic to other things.

Very soon, these religious Pharisees would start inspecting pubic hairs.

Please explain these reasons to me

"Do not trim off the hair on your temples or trim your beards" - Leviticus 19 vs 27

At least now you have Biblical proof to keep your beard.

...perhaps,so as not to resemble the Muslims.

If Christianity is to be christ-like then keeping beared make one more christ-like and more Christian.

Leviticus 19:27

He wants to be your role model at all cost

Snap am make we c for confirmation

Do u hv a mind of ur own or one of those that has been hyponothazied by their pastors? Looks like u're one of the later. Soon ur pastor will tell to walk in the middle of highway cos he saw that as ur destiny & u will be believe him. What happened to independent mindedness given to us by God? Wake my friend & stop being a zombie. Mumu.

But christ and his disciples had beards....

And you think social media is the place tell him your mind?

Anyway, some people will just out of Joblessness create any topic on nairaland

What I posted was obviously too deep for you.

No body who is truly committed to the things of God will open this thread. It's not logic.

The way pastors set standard and posing as gods has rubbished Christianity.
Don't blame the young man who was curious to know how beards was a sin but the pastor that wants to be seen as god and orders members not to keep beards because he doesn't.

Stop blackmailing people that decide to ask questions, don't say OP is not committed to the things of the spirit, it is an attempt to silence him and stop people from asking questions about pastors and doctrines.

Christianity has almost lost it's value..you pastor is right keeping beard most times dont make you look decent.. and decency is a value in Christians

hope the pastor is not asking you to cut it because it look like that of d unkept bakoharam...there no sin in beard biko...

This thinking is just soo stu.pid

Islam has been vindicated. This only shows that Christians don't even practise what is in the Bible, they only follow what these vein men of gods tell them. I have noticed the teachings of the Bible are similar to those of the Quran. But Muslims seem to be more practical in terms of following them than christians.

Keep following those crooked men that claim to b anointed, they will defend u on the last day.

Number2, i guess ur church is RCCG? That was d same instruction given to all d male choirs in my church. D following sunday, I only observed that only female sang except for d instrumentalists. But I still dont kno y keeping a moderate beard is a sin?
