Lvstigers View Profile History	Where is it? Posted : 17 Jun, 2009 10:33 AM A co-worker who is not a believer but has evidently in the past read some of the bible, told me that it says in the bible that men are to grow their beards down the sides of the face to cover the chin but keep their upper lip shaven. I've not been able to find any reference to this, I only find in Lev. that they are not to shave the sides of their heads nor disfigure their beards. She also thinks that in sins of adultery in the Old Testament only the woman was to be put to death. Tonight at work I will clear that up but I wanted to to make sure I wasn't missing anything with the beard, she says that's why the Amish wear their beards that way. I'd appreciate any insight, thanks :) Post Reply

As for the missing mustache, it's shaven off because the mustache has a long history of being associated with the military and therefore is forbidden. Hope this helps. Blessings, Lynn Post Reply
