I disagree.  What happened to David when he sinned?

Do you have scripture to back this statement up?  Although, I HAVE heard
this preached from the pulpit, I cannot imagine it to be doctrinally
sound.

A man (true man) of God IS elevated by study.

Do you believe that it is God's will that we stay ignorant of what His
Word says to us and rely SOLELY on what the Man of God gives us?

This is an inaccurate view, if you believe that I (or anyone here, in my
opinion) is making fun of any man of God.

>How much more Adults making foolish statements about men of God?
> I'm not the Judge, but I am a witness.. 

Then HOW have you come to the conclusion that the statements are FOOLISH?
 You have made a personal judgment about them.  And if you are to be a
witness, then be an OBJECTIVE witness.

I am basically asking, "Do those of you attacking people for asking
questions about local standards believe that on Judgment Day God will ask
if we (the men, at least) ever wore a beard without repenting?"
