Facial Hair...God caused it to grow...

After reading various opinions on the "beard issue" it sounds as if
salvation depends on whether one wears a beard or not.

Why do we have to stress "opinions" or personal convictions about the
matter? After all, it was God who enabled man to grow facial hair. 

I've heard preachers say that facial hair is wrong. Well if it's so wrong,
why don't they shave off their eyebrows too? You see, their reasoning is
very inconsistent. 

Even Jesus Christ Himself had a beard. Is He accepted in churches that
prohibit men from wearing beards and mustaches?
