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



Ask your pastor whether the 'bear bear' every picture of Jesus shows him with is fake. Ask your Pastor what he will do when Jesus come again with his 'bear bear'. Will he get his shaving stick ready to shave him? My brother your pastor is an Anti-Christ! Beware of him.

Social perception. The society we live in see beards as indiscipline, uncivilized,irresponsible and tainted. That's why you'll hardly see military people with beard. Those who wear them are usually muslim or weed smokers or insane. It's a thing of perception and perhaps not being spotted or tainted. Your beards should not be so dear to you as to make you leave your church or ministry or offend your brethren,if it does. Show yourself it's just a beard.

Where do you people come from to see beards as indiscipline, uncivilized, irresponsible? who gave such standard?
Pastors, men from different walks of life keep beards and still look decent, it depends on how well shaven it is. The same way you can either look decent or indecent with clothes, not everyone looks like uncivilized with beards, it all depends on how you keep the beards. Stop stereotyping.

What do you expect, when many are just sunday sunday tonic type of christians who don't even take time to study the bible for a whole week, in order to know what its saying? Rather they just sit down to listen to what ever any man call a preacher force down their brains. Study the word yourself or stand the chance of being manipulated by all those prophets of doom pretending to be call into the vineyard of the most high.

Op pls tell me that of all places to seek advice, the best place for you is here?? Oh come on. I am very sure u re aware that these people will haul insults to this innocent man of God. I pray u understand the meaning of what you have just done.
He adviced you to shave your beards. So?? I heard you cant be a surgeon with bushy beards. I guess u will opt out of med school if the consultant commands(not advice) you to shave before you enter the theatre.
Itz well..

OP did not say he wants to be a Pastor in the church. He was sitting on his own and the Pastor decided to confront him because of his own unconscious bias towards beards. How can you tell your church members not to grow beards? Soon they will say dont drive white cars or wear green clothes! Is that what they should be focusing on? It's better we speak the truth here so that those who desire to know the real truth of the word can find it. I have studied and still study my own bible for myself several times. What the Pastor said is very inconsistent with the word. It negates what Jesus and Paul stood for. In fact Paul vehemently stood against such doctrines.
Read Galatians 2.

It seems to me like Muslim are more like Christ-like.

Jesus keeps Beard
Jesus didn't take alcohol
Jesus called God alone
Jesus didn't eat pork

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.
so how come wole soyinka hasn't been arrested since all this years

Na wa o. Churches and the high standards sef. Look at pastors who are leading the kind of life Jesus would kick against if he was still alive. Instructing someone to wipe off his beards. Na by force? Pastors and trivial stuffs eh.

See as Africans carry religion for head like gala. Dem say make man nor carry long hair. But the same white people when invent religion come bring am down to gullible africans dey carry long hair.

See as we just dey mumu ourselves.

i clearly said it is SOCIAL PERCEPTION, not my personal opinion. You may also see this and this one. Evidently, it is not a local idea or something i formulated. Learn the meaning of the words 'perception' and 'stereotyping'.

Another stu.pid thought.

Live your life according to GOD'S WORD, not the DICTATES of men.

Ask Jesus why He was baptised in water despite nothing in God's Word stating so, or ask Paul why he had a vow at Cenchrea or circumcised Timothy despite not been under the law. Christianity is not just about following or disobeying a set of rules.

Please I would love for you to analyse the hypocrisy of over 1.5bn people. Just because of a few bad eggs in which every religion has does not mean u can confidently analyse and conclude.
Counsel, I expected better presentation from you.

Meanwhile, I was looking for you during Sallah, but you were not here. Wanted to collect my ram meat from you.
