Is it true that men in Cele are forbidden from growing beards?
I have heard many elders at the very top say that Papa said men are forbidden from growing beards. Truly we see that none of our elders including Papa never had beards, but can this be true doctrine? What is bad in it when Jesus himself had beards. Most of the 12 disciples had beards. Is it because we are not Jews that we should not have beards? Please I need to know.

Those utterances are wrong hence why it is not in the constitution that you cannot have a beard. It was the elders formula because Papa had no beard. Papa would shave every morning – at worst, every two days. He said that he does not want to be on the same page as Jesus, as Jesus had a beard. In our line, if the master has a beard, the servant must not have a beard. It is insulting the master.Papa said everyone should do what they like. It does not disturb the Holy Spirit. It is not a rule. He was concerned about what disturbs the Holy Spirit. It is not a rule so do not preach it as one. If you feel like doing it, it is not something that will not take you to Heaven.Elder tradition. Jesus said you are with the traditions of the elders and not of God. Things they should condemn, instead they are condemning the truth. You hold onto the tradition of the elders.Papa said if you are given a message to not keep it, then you should not. But in Celestial generations, it is not a part of the rules God gave us.
