A Nigerian man has taken to social media to express his displeasure after allegedly being denied the Holy Communion because of his beard.
Read what he posted below:
“Two days ago, I went for Holy Communion at an Anglican church in Nigeria.I received a shocker!
“The Venerable aka the Pastor aka the Archdeacon told me i would not be given the “bread & wine” because i had a beard!I insisted and was given, i left really heartbroken!
“Did a little research and came up with these findings proving that most of the great Christians in the Bible had beards;
“2) Psalm 133
“3) 2nd Samuel 10 vs 5
“4) 1st Samuel 21 vs 13
“5) Ezekiel 5 vs 1
“6) Ezra 9 vs 3
“7) Isaiah 50 vs 6
“My question is:
“a) Did “Jesus Christ” have a beard?
“b) Was it ever written in the bible that i will not make heaven if i have a beard?
