    Hello, this is a very informative post of the Christian take over the beard.

    As a Muslim, it is obligated on us to have beard, as all the Messengers, Prophets and Men of God wore the beard. You mentioned that.

    It is a beautiful practice of the Men of God that is looked down upon. Thanks for writing such a wonderful post, bringing out the more authentic tradition practiced by Jesus, peace be upon him.

    If you are on Facebook, please check this page out, I hope you will join it and contribute the Christian perspective. Thanks.

    Peace be onto you.

      Hello,

      Yes Muslim wear beards, because they took it from Christian tradition. Its quite ungodly to say peace be upon the Lord Jesus in my view. How can it be that you wish peace to the one that is the essence of piece and the one by whom the world was created ? 🙂
      In Orthodox Christianity we value Jesus Christ as the son of God who was crucified died on the cross for forgiveness of our sins. We believe that God – The Holy Trinity (The Father, The son and The Holy Spirit) is one. Therefore Jesus as being un-separate one with the Holy Trinity is God in essence as well our personal Saviour. We believe Jesus was God’s manifest in flesh on earth. Considering all that it is very wrong and even an insult to say to a Christian, peace be upon Jesus and is one and the same thing like saying peace be upon God. Jesus told to his desciples and to us, through the holy scriptures : “I give you my peace, I don’t give you like the world but my peace I give you”, so once again, if we experience piece today it’s thanks to to the Lord Jesus giving us the piece.

      I’m happy you liked my post. Hope to see you around 😉
      Peace be with you as well.

      and best!
      Georgi

    Dear brothers and sisters. 

    It is not the beard that shall influence or assist in the salvation of our soul. Many non believers and atheists do have beards. Many evil doers and sinners do have beards. Wild and rough bikers of numerous biker gangs have long beards. 

    Our judgement will be influenced by our behaviour and the condition of our heart.  Perhaps a beard may serve us as a humble reminder of what our true purpose in life is and allow us to focus deeper on pleasing our Father in Heaven rather than our own self.

    A Priest willl also be judged according to his actions and not his appearance.  No commandment enforces the beard upon any man. Tradition and culture that has been created by man himself, is what enforces and encourages certain profiles or factors.

    Love everyone and assist the blind souls towards the light.
