social convention. What is acceptable and what is not acceptable in the context of your environment

What if what isn't acceptable isn't wrong either?

You would make yourself the subject of undue unwarranted/undesirable attention.

very good! Environment plays a major role in this kind of issues, for example, Nose ring is common in India . not a big deal. . but imagine a Nigerian lady with nose ring saying she wanna preach to you ? lol, how would u feel ? . same goes with Beard . study your environment , don't be A StUMBLING Block


apostle Paul once said he wont eat meat if its going to stumble another person, does it mean meat is bad ? No, but one as to be aware of what is offensive and acceptable to his kind of society or else he commits by stumbling others

same goes with beard, not bad in itself but be careful not to stumble the faith of others . that can be disastrous

The Old testament rather prohibited one from touching or shaving the beard.

Eventually that's where pastors miss it. Teaching religion over more Germane matters.
