Don't shave your beard or cut the sides of your head 

When my husband started growing a beard I didn't like it, but now I love it!

I want to keep God happy, not a wife...

Homeless people are the most beautiful people in my opinion. That is how God did created men.

I'm not religious, but i'm opening to spirituality and let my beard grow for over 3 years now, and i start to make a link with the fact that my life is changing a lot since! Let your beard grow, i beleive it can only do good to your soul/mind!

God gave me the ability to grow a beard therefore I grow one. Pretty close to what this bearded brother has. I am a Christian and feel compelled to grow one. I am incredibly active playing basketball, volleyball, fishing, hunting etc. and makes me stand out physically and most people, for whatever reason, cannot nor will not associate a "bearded guy" as being an athlete or active guy (weird actually). In any event, nothing more "manly" than growing a beard and pay homage to the great men in scripture. I pick King David and Moses. "Going to try to comply with the purposes of the almighty" Women can't grow em for a reason. Rock the beard and beard on brothers!!

The first thing I told my husband was u need to grow a beard. I think all men look much better with them

It really gives me profound joy every time I find a teacher who seems close to Christ and His Word. But hearing you gives me special gladness because you teach Christ's word and Bible studies instead of focusing on debates like flat earth, giants, genealogies, etc. I hope I find more fellow believers like you and become one myself who relies on the Scriptures for his entire walk in this life. Everything contradictory in the world is evil. Thank you for teaching, please pray for my household (My wife, and 3 young children) to be given repentance. I pray and study seldomly but my heart is in slavery to sin still. I'm 21. I smoke and do some things that I know are wrong, but I haven't had the strength to overcome these. I work and try to do good but it seems that I've barely overcome anything. So please pray for His Spirit to take control in our lives, cleanse our hearts and lead us out of temptations. His Spirit is always with us, but we must repent if we are to be led by the Spirit right? I feel that if we take the next steps in repentance, His Spirit will want to dwell with us more. And I fear God's wrath, because I have faith but am I born of Spirit? I know when we cry out to YHWH about our slavery He hears, so please pray with us.

i think beards are great :) my two cents.

It also hides when you are fasting, the Lord said to keep the fasting between you and him.

I have had so many issues messing my beard up trying to get my neck line right I think I’m just going to let it go. I have always wonder just exactly what that scripture meant. Thanks!

I agree totally that if your beard is not growing in all that well, let it grow. It will eventually. I started growing my beard (and trimming it) since about age 20. It wasn't until about age 26 that it finally grew into a full beautiful beard. I am curious if trimming the mustache is considered wrong. The mustache gets in my way and I keep it trimmed shorter so I don't consume so much hair lol. As well, when I first started keeping my beard, my mother kept saying it doesn't look good on me, my wife said the same. After awhile, they got used to it.

My beard went through an itchy phase, though its doing great now that I'm beyond the initial growth stage, and it has some length.

Good video, I don't have a wife, sadly she died 7 years ago, I do now have a nice bushy beard, it's 3 months since I last shaved, I binned all my shaving stuff so I would not be tempted to shave it off. Only the second week I was just a little itchy. Now at 3 months it's getting very thick and bushy, I don't trim anything off, the beard starts just below my 'Adams' apple' linked to the hairs on my chest and the top part stops 1 and a half inches below my eyes, that is what I call a 'full beard', the only place I trim (I have to do this once a week) is directly around my mouth, more for hygienic reasons so that no hair gets into my mouth and right next to my nose so that no hairs go up my nostrils.

Amen! This picture is old, but grown my beard back out, and letting go back to being thick, beautiful and long like the good Lord intended. He even says that men shall not shave their beards or the locks of hair from their heads, for it is a sign of a good, righteous man. IE: Samson, Noah, Abraham....etc.

When u begin to grow your beard from a shaved state...it'll itch but once u get past week 2/3 you're good to go. Once u past the a couple months you go into attachment stage. When you think about shaving you begin to feel not to & fool yourself by saying weekend, then next week, then you set a date and the date passes..and then u just can't let go of it.

Stumbled across this video. I needed to hear that. Things happen for a reason. Thanks for sharing.

We are forgetting the most important reason to let the beard untouched and the sides of our head (peiot) Before we get to Leviticus 19:27, we should take a read at Leviticus 19:2 that tells us to be kedushim for He is Kadosh We should not worry about appearances nor fashion. What son does not want to be like his Father? After all we were created to His image “kadosh”

I was about to shave but then I watched this and God touched me so now I'm keeping it 🙏❤

we were talking about this yesterday..my husband ..read all the scriptures about hair....and we looked up scientific studies of the benefit of hair on the body.... it was Intresting.... question - did men go through a ritual cleansing and have their head shaved before offering their "sacrifice" (s) to the priest?.. what exactly was a ritual purification? Was it yearly?

I was growing out my beard but damage the hairs, so I trimmed it down. I don’t want to trim it anymore. I cut the hair on the sides of my head into a fade, but I don’t want to do it anymore as Abba said not to in His instruction! I won’t be used to the look since I have been fading the sides for many years, but I desire being who Yahweh Elohim formed me to be-inside and out! May He help me in Yeshua’s name!

I'd love to be able to grow a beard ,but unfortunately my job doesn't permit beards(I work for a funeral home)..

The reason for the itch when growing a beard is from dryness. The oils that are used to keep the skin moisturized are not able to be produced in enough quantity with a beard, which also requires oil to moisturize the hair of the beard, so the skin starts to itch and can become flaky from being dry. Adding a small amount of beard oil by rubbing it into the beard and onto the skin after washing the beard each day will take care of the itching problem and supplies the skin with the necessary moisture to not dry out.

When I grow a beard, it only itches for the first couple of weeks. After that, I'm good.

What if someone has a job interview? Would it be ok to shave just to get the job then let your beard grow?

could you make a video of what Torah laws Christians are required to keep because its confusing.. like in the ecumenical council they Peter or Paul said gentiles dont have to abide certain Jewish customs like being circumcised. There is also one of the laws in the Torah that says a raped woman who bears a child should marry the person who raped her.. is this something you would expect people to adhere to today? thanks

In my 35s i am a fair skinned man and girls barely looked at me or i was just notmal. And now i got a 7 inch beard and college girls wanna stare andlook at me and they have their eyes fixed on me!

@Torah Life Ministries What are the health benefits of a beard? I thought I heard you say something about it in this video. I've been thinking of growing a beard lately. I think my wife will kill me but, oh well!

The prohibition of cutting the corners of the beard is not the hair. It is the face. The philistines would curt their face peel the skin outward and allow it to heal in that position. This was done to give them a more ferocious appearance for battle, and also to give the impression of gills, cuz their deity was dagon, the fish god. Most scriptures refer to anything that mars the skin permanently, such as tatoos as a no no. Shalom!

How long u been growing your beard for? And what beard oil u use? Is botion good for beard growth? And what do i wash my beard with?

awesome perspective. much shalom Bra!

I usually have a beard, but I also live in East Texas, and it is so outrageously humid in the summer that a beard is out of the question. Another thing to consider is the climate​ you live in. The Hebrews lived in an area with dry heat.

Hey I have a question. Us Puerto Rican’s do faded hair cuts like tapers, blowout, usher cuts, etc. Would those be consider against the ordnance’s in the Old Testament

My husband has long beard down to his belly...It is something he wants to keep forever...He has a ruptured disc at C5/6 and they go through the throat during surgery and they have said they will cut his beard off...shaving the neck for surgery is understandable to us but neither of us want his beard to go..It's part of his Spiritual being...Not a Religious thing but I am of Jewish Ancestry and I would cry if they cut that beard...Can we use our Spiritual belief to make them figure out another way vs cutting the beard off

+The Health Watchman, I do believe that there are some contextual errors in this video. The verses that are being referenced here are strictly and explicitly stating not to shave the sides of your head, beard, forehead, or cut yourself for the dead. The Torah states this a few times I know of; twice in Leviticus (19:27-28, 21:1-6) and once in Deuteronomy (14:1). In all cases it says do not do this to remember the dead because that was a common ritual in that day among other religions. The heathen/pagan would do this to morn for their dead.Now, do I believe that there is anything wrong with growing out your beard? Absolutely not, just as long as you aren't doing it to bring attention to yourself or to show off. Do I believe that there is anything wrong with not growing your beard? Again, absolutely not. There is nothing saying that you have to grow out your beard or not shave it unless you take the Nazerite vow, which are commandments for Nazerite's only. There are times where we are required to shave our beards and that is when we have a skin infection that causes the hair to change color or die. As far as I know, that is the only commandment that says when we HAVE to shave. With all that said, we have to make sure that we read everything in context to get what Yah wants us to know or hear. We must read the before and after verses to understand the complete picture. Thoughts?

Started growing my beard and hair out because I wanted to know what "I" look like without modification. Had a little more incentive, having been asthmatically allergic to the fumes of most shaving creams and aftershaves. Lol Haven't trimmed either since I took this profile picture, 3-4yrs ago. 😨

As the good Lord says: "Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard." Leviticus 19:27 It is a sign of your masculinity and righteousness. Young men out there: toss the razor!

Mine does not grow hair on the side(jaw area) of my face like they grow on my chin

I have not shaved since Oct of 2017. now it almost lays on my chest. It looks similar to the video. But i am a much larger man. I look like a viking.

The thing is JOBS make you shave your beard. What do you do with that?

I've been letting my neck an sides grow in so I can let more locks form.

It has nothing to do with any religion including Judaism or it is the basic in all religions. The principle id simple - don't spend time and energy on unnecessary things because we have very limited time and energy to reach God.

The Health Watchman Shalom, when you mentioned on the sides of your hear, may you please elaborate. I do not understand if this means the side of the beard, or the sides of your head above your beard?

Why does it say grow just the sides? Why doesn't it say let everything grow, sides and top and back and front?

I have a mate that has never shaved in his life in order to grow a beard but not a single hair has grown, where as my beard grows super fast I can grow a big beard in 6 months that looks like I've been growing it for 12-18months

You are awesome. I have seen your vids many time. I sent you a comment about The Sabbath. I love hear you speak. You are all about life, nature, and God. Thank you. God Bless.

I had beard. Then RU-vid recommend me to watch Shaving videos then I spent a lot to buy an old style shaving materials. Now RU-vid recommending me videos about growing beard and stop shaving. I hate now RU-vid.

I LOVE THE LOOK OF A NATURAL BEARD.

In order to not itch is to Brush the beard up and brush it. Also use Jahatian Castor oil. The Castor oil will make your beard grow quickly. Use Mane and tail and beard. You will find in the animal section at Wal Mart.

well how when you have to shave even the eyebrows?

thank your for the video. what are the health benefits of growing a beard

How do you know that Paul had a big bushy beard ?

Thanks for the interesting video. I am about 3 months with no trimming or shaving, almost 2 inches long. Really didn't want to shave neck and your advice that a longer beard covers that anyway is what I needed. I'll trim or shape it slightly after about 5 months but pretty much plan on letting it grow as He intended. I think balls can help keep it neat and softer. As far as itching, that only lasted about 2 weeks then got less and less. My brother says it itches at first because you have been shaving causing each hair to be like a little sharp spear that pokes you as it curls back a bit or your skin moves around. Wonder why some comments are so degradating towards God and scriptures... maybe because they are trying to convince themselves there is no creator and Redeemer.

Can you give me the scriptures explain more about what you saying about the beard n health benefits that comes with it...Please

Facial hairs growth at different rates, so its best to grow for at least 6 months to one year to get a realistic idea of what there is to work with, then its time to determine its character and shape. Patches could fill in nicely during that time. Ideally the neck line should be trimmed up about one or two finger widths from the adam's apple in a horizontal line all the way to the end of the jaw below the ear lobes. This creates a strong masculine beard when grown all the way back to the ear lobes. Do not follow the angle of the jaw line, establishing the beard's own line for best results.

I am proud to have a beard but I’m still growing it

Your video talks about a lot about beard management? Do you teach that it's a sin to shave? Do you have a video that addresses that question?

Great subject and your beard too! Enjoyed watching.... Shalom!

Yes I have two questions one is about Leviticus 19:19 I have a specific question very specific. Is it okay to mix cotton and linen? I know you are not to mix I know you are not to mix linen and wool but I want to know is it okay to weave cotton and linen? Also what about a man who is bald on top of his head but has his sides and back of the hair. Would it be okay to keep his head shaved because he looks nicer?

So as long as you cut your hair short it's okay but not shave it?

I didnt think I could grow a full beard at all until I tried.

What about if you are loosing your hair. Can you shave your head then or would it be wrong to shave head hair off.

Why is tarzan always portrayed as clean shaven male...I mean how did he acquire a razor and learn to shave in the jungle🤨🤔...quite intriguing, if one may ask!

Do I have to have a healthy diet to grow a beard

I decided to grow a beard when I read the story of David and his messengers. Seemed like not having a beard was seen as shameful. Jesus had a beard. They pulled his beard and spat on his face.

What about shaving ones head, what does scriptures say about that, is it wrong for a man to have long hair on his head

i would like more info on the scriptural basis

Is it okay to edge up my beard or is that a no no?

Enjoying your videos brother.

Just use beard oil or face moisturizer when your beard itches... Smells great and makes it alot more soft and manageable.

I love having a beard and not shaving ! Lol , but my wife hates it

These are religious customs that alienate us from the living God and our true purpose. Where did Jesus or Paul speak of physical appearances or physical preservation as vital roles in our walk with the Lord? We are to be conformed to the likeness of Jesus having His characteristics.

Would it be wrong to trim the mustache but let the beard grow? Because I do not like the mustache going into my food, no I'm not talking about shaving the mustache like Amish do. I'm talking about just trimming the mustache for letting the beard grow so that the mustache does not go inside the food while I am eating

As for not shaving the sides of the head. I am having a real problem with that one as we are not allowed to wear a skullcap to be confused with a Jewish person, yet any other style of hat is just too hot in Hawaii with hair underneath it. It was much cooler before when I would keep my head shaved completely bald, then there was airflow that could pass through the mesh style flat cap that I wear. But with hair now, I feel no air through the mesh of the cap. It is very uncomfortable and is going to come down to one of three options; 1 I wear a skullcap which is cooler. 2 I shave my head bald to be cooler. 3 I just stop covering my head because of the heat.

There is no prohibition against trimming nose and ear hair?

What happens if you're a woman and you have a moustache or a beard? Does she leave that too

I agree. It keeps me cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

What does growing your beard have to do with salvation?

To battle an itchy beard , use an anti itch lotion like gold bond, or any anti itch creams with cortisol.

hey i live in canada to and i was woudering how long it usly takes northerner to ship the tabbaco

The man in question is addressing to Christians who follow the Torah and not to unbelievers. The query was raised by a Christian. In this context, I feel he has spoken fairly. Thank you for educating Torah following Christians.

I am a Gentile but having accepted Jesus as Lord & Saviour then that makes my a Spiritual Isrealite for which I should follow that which scripture dictates. I do not grow a very good beard - it is white now & has bald places. So then, in order to be obiedient to scripture what should I do? My wife quit shaving as scripture says when God created may He said it is VERY Good. So then what is your advice. Thank You. Sincerely, JAMES.

What if your wife has a beard??? Like mine does hers is a lil longer than mine but it seems as if I'm catching up to her so that's good don't want to anger the creator

Leviticus 19:27 also have a similar reference to 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are." KJV. I don't know if that sounds harsh, but this is in fact a very similar reference other than just alcoholism, drunkenness, drugs, fornication of all sinful things.

Brother Paul this is Mike and I'm growing a beard to please YAH my wife is Navajo and believe it or not she has no need to shave at all to each his own I guess thank you shalom

What about shaving the head? Is it the same situation? Is it prohibited by t he Torah as well?

Yea some peoples used to cut themselves for ritualistic purposes because their heathen gods demanded it. Is there more to it though ??

just to make sure it is okay , can i trim it to make it even ?

Why does Korah mean trimmed beard? Qorach means to trim, not to bald. Levi priest kept a trimmed beard, Korah cannot mean baldness if Levi is commanded not to bald any hair.

I shaved last night now I'm regretting it ,I can grow almost a full beard in one week

Is it okey if i trim my beard, I love it short. Like super short. Less than a centimeter

Having facial hair is no more unsanitary than having hair on top of the head. As long as a person showers on a daily basis, it stays just as clean.

Finally, I have a good reason to let my beard grow long, but I'm sure people will tell me I look homeless. Whatever, they're still in the "matrix," so I shouldn't let it bother me.

How did I end up here? But this is what you spend your time here doing? Sitting around debating if it's ok to shave facial hair.

I always feel I look crazy or deranged with a beard for some reason

watch beard growing videos. mine doesn't itch when I grow it out because I take care of it.

My wife loves my beard, I am blessed, much love

i always though that the locks were a later interpretation of what the command says. interesting video.

I heard once that smoking cigarettes causes your beard to grow slower do think there could be truth to that.

but i have alopecia barbae..my beard is growing bald spots and losing hair..what to do
