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

A PITY.

THE PASTOR IS WRONG.

IF YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR BEARD GO AHEAD.

FIND A YOUTH FRIENDLY AND UNDERSTANDING AND JESUS CENTRED CHURCH AND GO THERE.

JESUS IS LORD!

Many people unknowingly practice "Churchianity" while thinking they are practicing "Christianity". They set their own standards outside what the bible teaches. They seek to imprison your mind with their own doctrines. The best thing you can do for yourself is to know the truth and the truth will make you free.

Religion is the biggest scam in the history of mankind

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

Religion is not a scam o, its just that some people use the fact that people submit to it to control them. The pastor is wrong, he could've just told him to trim it to look 'responsible' thats if he looked rough o.

Thank you.

I'm not interested in any debate because I don't waste my time arguing over religion. You can bare your mind on what u believe is the hypocrisy of Muslims, that's your cup of tea. No one is stopping you.

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.
attaching spirituality to the man's opinion to seek knowledge is like you trying to hide behind your finger. the truth is bitter even the Bible said "by their fruit you shall know them" so if daddy GO does not keep bears is automatically a sin for a member to keep bears what a teaching nor God or Christ forced any doctrine on mankind "life and death have i placed before you but i urge you to choose life" spirituality is from your personal conviction and level of relationship with God asking what seems to confused him whether on social media or not does not made him less spiritual or concern about him (God). if keeping beard is a sin God wouldn't program it to be part of man's nature. God please save this generation. false teachings everywhere

That guy's statement is the most annoying one on this thread. Imagine the cheap blackmail (accusing OP of not committing to the things of the spirit) just because the young guy decided to ask questions and not to be brainwashed by pastors' doctrines.

Exactly. God himself created the beards! They think they know more than God. This problem is very real and serious in the churches today. People follow their pastors instead of following God. They think that those who don't follow their pastors are wrong. They must dress and talk like their pastor else they are not "spiritual". Actually, that is being carnal according to Paul in 1 Corinthians 3.

I'm also on d verge of being barred from singing in church choir for barbing a certain haircut which i consider 2 b decent-lukin. Is dt righteousnes or over-righteousnes? If ur appearance does not cause any one 2 fall either as a man or woman it would be unfair to pass judgement based on man's knowledge of what he feels shud b right or wrong.

Since you obviously believe that he is qualified to show you the way to paradise, and you likely believe that the 'holy spirit' is speaking through him, then it will be hypocrisy not to remove it. If you believe that the 'holy spirit' is not speaking through him on this occasion, then how do you know on what occasions it is doing so? Only when his statement agrees with your desire?

This is what comes of blind followership.

its really our choice to keep beards, the bible is not against it... But i'll really say you dont bring things that concern you and your pastor to this platform where ''unbelivers'' can say dumbstuffs to those we refrence as God sent... Please settle your differences with him amicably... God bless

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)

I like your comment. The pastor should have taken the decency route. Not by quoting bible or citing the GO. Just to be decent. Some organisation want their members and staff clean shaven, that's their idea of decency. But its not a measure of righteousness.
Tradition of men has made the word of god of no effect. If u disobey this innocuous advice, they will term u a sinner, as soon u will start believing u are a sinner.

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.

I wouldn't agree with the point u made above...I keep full beards and trust me, I travel a lot..most highway officers I come across, tell me they admire my beards...it's just sad that folks are attaching it to morals...esp the Christain folks.

Re: My Pastor Said I Should Stop Keeping Beards by Nobody: 9:54pm On Dec 28, 2016
Sir, i disagree with you. I know u are spiritual and that's a good thing. You dont have to judge someone's spirituality by what he said here. I would have expected you to enlighten him on why he shouldnt have posted it rather than saying what you said. I dont support the post also but I hate it when people come around to say someone is spiritual or not. You can educate but not judge. You make errors yourself. I hate it also when people come around to show they are more spiritual than others. His level of spirituality may not be up to yours, but dont go around saying someone is not committed to the things of God because he made an error. Read Luke 18 :9-14. God bless you!
