What is with the beards? I wish I knew more about those people but it just seems like a freakish cult of some sort. I know they are peaceful people and keep to themselves but I just don’t get it. Is it a religion? Is there a book of Amish? They were Swiss I think to begin with. I know they are christian or at least I think they follow the teachings of Christ. Strange people is all I can say.
I once saw an interview with an Amish pastor or whatever they call them.
As near as I could tell, he said they do not believe the Bible requires them to live like they do. They just think it is suggested and think it is a good idea.
They have beards when they get married. Can you tell who has been married the longest?
Technically, for jewish men (who might be Levites), the requirement per the Torah, is found in Leviticus 19:27 "Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard."
It's in the Bible.
