The Old Testament Law aside ( as it has no bearing on modern Christianity as to regulations to keep), the New Testament says nothing about beards. Thanks for sharing though. References :
Christian Orthodox Priests usually Do as in Bible. Russian/ Greek/ Serbian and all Orthodox Churches I have ever been To ,, ( The Priests have beards)
In the Apostolic Constitution, ALL Christian men who were able to were supposed to grow facial hair. It has to do with accepting manliness – women and children don’t have facial hair, but men do.
"Men may not destroy the hair of their beards and unnaturally change the form of a man. For the Law says, “You will not deface your beards.” For God the Creator has made this decent for women, but has determined that it is unsuitable for men." Apostolic Constitutions (compiled c.390, E) 7.392. (1)
Saint Clement of Alexandria had a lot to say about this –
How womanly it is for one who is a man to comb himself and shave himself with a razor, for the sake of fine effect, and to arrange his hair at the mirror, shave his cheeks, pluck hairs out of them, and smooth them!…For God wished women to be smooth and to rejoice in their locks alone growing spontaneously, as a horse in his mane. But He adorned man like the lions, with a beard, and endowed him as an attribute of manhood, with a hairy chest–a sign of strength and rule." St. Clement of Alexandria, 2.275
"This, then, is the mark of the man, the beard. By this, he is seen to be a man. It is older than Eve. It is the token of the superior nature….It is therefore unholy to desecrate the symbol of manhood, hairiness.” St. Clement of Alexandria, 2.276
"It is not lawful to pluck out the beard, man’s natural and noble adornment." St. Clement of Alexandria, 2.277
This is one reason why facial hair is more common in Greece and Eastern Europe than in Western Europe/America.
