There are certain movements that are teaching that women are still required to wear head coverings. But, what does the Bible say about this and how should we apply it to our current context? Let's talk about it!
My prayer scarves (head coverings) have been a welcomed addition to my wardrobe and most importantly my walk with our Lord. 💗 To wear one has been a constant reminder and comfort for me in being prayerful continuously. It also feels like my God-given beauty is protected from the pervasive eyes of immorally minded men. I would encourage everyone considering this to pray for the Holy Spirit to guide and teach you in this decision for deeper purpose. God bless🕊
I do cover my head when I pray. I had never thought of doing it until God laid it in my heart to do so in 2017. Till today I cover my head when i pray and when I'm in church. But I don't judge people who dont.
Continue being obedient to God. Allen has been corrupting the word of the bible for a long time now. The same God of yesterday is the God of today. Allen also has been lying to many that once saved we are always saved. Read revelarion 2 and 3 of the letters to all 7 churches. Becareful following him
@R K: Under grace period which is now, we are OSAS. After Rapture when the Jews are being plugged back to the vine then faith + works will apply. OT = works to be saved Grace = faith only Tribulation = faith + works. Rightly dividing the Word.
Hi Allen. I do not wear headcoverings as I have thought it was specific to the time frame. But, I will say...I have wondered about this several times over the last 30 years
@@obaapamoses6632 oh, because brother Allen believes that God only speaks through the Bible, and that if you say "God told me", you are trying to make yourself look like a prophet. Go into His channel. You'll find him talking to a woman named Melissa about this. He also talks to Jon McCray, and he does a video bashing people who prophesied that Trump would win. For some reason, he is against the idea of Christians having direct communication with God today, even though we live with Holly Spirit and He is always speaking. Even with the Trump thing, I wouldn't be too quick to call the prophets who said he would serve twice "false", because Samuel said to Saul "this day, you are no longer king of Israel", but Saul went on to rule for 15 more years. Does that mean Samuel was a false prophet? No. In the spiritual realm Saul was done that day. So I just say we wait it out even with the Trump thing, and not be too quick to call people false prophets.
I wasn't even a Christian when God spoke to my heart and told me to cover my head and become a Biblical woman. It was an unmistakable stirring in my heart. God knew I needed modesty to help free me from the ways I was in the world's bondage. I don't judge others who do not cover their heads because I know that God will speak into their hearts what is needed for their walk with him.
💯 agree. None of us are in the same exact walk with God. Whereas He may tell one woman she should wear dresses, grow her hair or wear a bandana as a hair covering He may be working on another to dress more modestly, for her, or stop wearing fake eyelashes and heavy make up. Christians need to remember you have to learn to walk before you can run and we are all in different spiritual/physical conditions.
Amen, I too had a similar experience with the Lord reaching me when I was agnostic and teaching me modesty. I would cover my head when I was alone at home at first, and now being a Christian it became very clear as to why. God bless :)
Omg Amen I feel you ! Same here when ever I cover my head I feel so much more at peace and I don’t care what anyone thinks no more I’m tired I also feel closer to God as well and more calmer
I feel like I am wearing a crown To be honest, I get more respect when I go out in public. Men hold doors, people allow me to go first, I get smiles more often.
@@hayleyclements1737 no, that is saying that if a woman has long hair, its a good thing but it does not mean that your hair is your covering. It you read it in Greek, there's actually TWO different words used for covering and one of those two words is used only one time when referring to hair. They're different things
I plan to wear a covering whenever I attend church :) I feel lead by the Holy Spirit to that and I believe others should allow Holy Spirit to lead them in their decisions.
@Maria Smith No ma'am. I am American... However, My Husband is Nigerian and I seen a lot of women wear coverings at our African church; Some women, not all women. That is where I first learned about coverings and I felt like Holy Spirit was calling me to wear it, especially in church. North America is very different from Africa. In America, we are not really forced to dress a certain way, even for church.
@Maria Smith that’s the covenant of God. If you read Genesis 17 in relation to Galatian 3: 15-29 you will understand why the head covering is important. That’s you obeying God’s authority and your husband or father’s authority. Failure to do so. Matthew 7: 21-23 that will be you in Revelations 20 waiting for the lake of fire 🔥 it’s that plain simple. Be glad you got saved from being cut off. The seed of Abraham will obey and do everything God told him. Jesus did the same and even Rebekah in Genesis 24: 65 as soon as she saw her husband she covered her head immediately. Read the bible my sister and stop being stuck up with the wrong things a lot of women keep doing in front of their husbands and walking in sin day in and day out. The lake of fire is waiting for them. You heard what Jesus said I never knew you cos you lived in sin, that’s again Matthew 7: 21-23. Work your salvation with fear and trembling that’s Philippians 2:12. Even David said I’ve kept your word inside my heart so that I might not sin against thee Psalm 119:11. Be warned
Out of no where I had this strong urge to wear a veil or head covering of some kind. I didn’t even know Christians wear this. No one ever wore them at my church, expect some elderly women but I didn’t know that’s what it was. One day I just felt the need to do research and now I wear them when I pray, on Sunday’s all day, and when I’m in church or watching church. It feels so amazing!
And then you got deceived by this false preaching????????? You should check out your relationship with God once again. Who would you rather listen to????? Paul who was filled with the Holy Spirit, or this new age end time preacher??? A generation that is ready for the purge!????
Hi I believe Alan is beating around the bush it is quite clear the Apostle Paul is teaching that women should cover their heads while praying be obedient to God's word you got your answer
Hello Samantha. Please do not just trust the man in the video who speaks many of his thoughts about things Paul said nothing about when he (Paul) explained this topic to the Corinthians and us. It is best to read the Bible and not go with what someone is trying to tell you in a video. I speak from the Bible, not from my own thoughts. I have studied the Bible for many years. I find no contradictions as many preachers speak. Reading these passages by Paul, It is very easy to understand, (if someone is not simply wanting to make a reason why they don't have to do something). Please realize, when Paul talks about a woman's hair and her head being covered. The head covering when she prays or prophesies is not her hair and it is not about gender identification. Nor does it have anything to do with temple prostitutes. Please think about the verse and replace "covering" with "hair" to easily realize this. "If she have no covering (hair) then let her head be shaven." Why shave a woman's head who is already bald? That surely makes no sense. Now you can see. It is an actual covering being spoken of. And nowhere does it talk about temple prostitutes or because of gender identity. This is about wrongly equally the head of woman to man as being made in God's image. Paul even stated this as well. It matters not the length of her hair or if she applies the customs of men in her culture. If she is doing that, she is already way off from the natural differences God placed for man and woman to have. This is about authority and order according to God. (Not covering a man's head and dishonoring God since the man's head is in the image of God, and covering the woman's head in order to not dishonor God by equally her head to that of a man made in God's image) If anyone wants to disagree (I am not saying you do), those people need find another religion, or make their own, as many people in essence do when they go against what is written within their own religion. We should follow Paul's teachings literally. I believe we should follow all of God, and Jesus, and Disciples, and Prophets of the Bible literally. We don't get to apply our own ideas of what we can do based on what we want or do not want to do. That's why there are so many religions (and different sects within them) in the world today. People putting their own thoughts into what God said. You prayed. Follow God and our Lord Jesus Christ, and learn from the Holy Spirit (Spirit of God/ Truth). May God Bless you sister in your search for His truth in all things !
You don't have to wear a covering. A woman's hair is her covering. Paul was giving his advice on what they asked. And if anyone continued reading those verses, at the end Paul said if anyone wants to argue about the subject, that they have no such tradition of head coverings. 1 Corinthians 11:15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering. 11:16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
@@adailydaughter6196 Mike Winger did a very thorough video on head covering that took days to get through, but was very interesting and answers this question. It was helpful for me to think of other things in the Bible that were signs for an angel. -Blood on the lintel and doorposts -mark of God's children in Revelation So this would seem to be a symbolic mark so that angels can identify those women that are in submission to God's order, embracing the gender role created for them.
@@annelanham2258so awesome. This statement answers the question completely. I’m going to continue to cover my head. Plus because Paul wasn’t talking to a culture he was talking to Christians. To teach them Gods ways.
People read and study the scripture for yourselves.Allen us just giving you his understanding of the scripture.let us not be lazy in doing the work ourselves.
Well said his understanding is twisted and doesn’t even make sense at all. He doesn’t clearly understand there is no trinity and what the head covering is all about here is why Allen Parr is always circumventing the word of God, twisting it and making it void and meaningless. There is no TRINITY. The head covering symbolises the covenant and authority of husband over the woman. It’s a covenant that was made to the seed of Abraham in Genesis 17. The list of verses will clearly make you understand what message God is trying to covey about his covenant and commandments, he said those who love him will keep his commandments in John 14:15. If Adam hadn’t eaten the fruit, God would forgave her because Adam was her head and as long as she had her covering (Adam) nothing would have happened. But because Adam disobeyed his head Christ and Eve disobey her head Adam, God had to punish them and death came to us. HEAD COVERING 1 Corinthians 11: 1-10 1 Timothy 2: 10-14 Numbers 30: 1-8 especially verse 5-8 Numbers 5: 12-14, 18 Ecclesiastes 5: 2-6 Genesis 24: 65 as soon as Rebekah saw Isaac she covered her head. The head covering symbolises hierarchy of authority. If a man makes a vow unto the Lord he has to fulfill it. But if a woman does, the husband has the authority to make that vow null and void because her head is her husband and God will forgive it, Numbers 30: 1-8. When Rebekah asked Isaac’s servant who he was as soon as she was told it was his Master, she put her head covering. That was her respecting the word of God and the covenant since she is also part of the seed of Abraham. Only the seed of Abraham and the gentiles purchased by the blood of Jesus Christ that obeyed God’s commandments will inherit the kingdom of earth for eternity, it’s in Galatians 3 verse 15-29. Verse 29 says: 29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. There is circumcision of the foreskin, and the heart (human mind) Jesus is the seed of Abraham, he also was circumcised eight days after birth. Notice Genesis 17: 12-14 even the strangers that were bought by Abraham had to be circumcised. Then you have Galatians 3: 13-29, that clearly explains what the seed of Abraham has to do and Jesus being the seed of Abraham he purchased Gentiles with his blood & verse 17 clearly clarifies that the covenant God made about the head covering, commandments, circumcision, feasts of the Lord, dietary law is still in full effect to this day and cannot be disannualed. The head covering has nothing to do with sexuality it’s a covenant women are supposed to follow failure to do so they will get cut off once resurrection comes into the Lake of fire. For a woman it is a symbol of authority and submissiveness to their husbands as well as respecting the covenant of God who gave the authority to the husband over his wife. It’s plain simple. Women preaching in church without head covering and lying about the spirit of the Lord being upon them, God will deal with them. This is what he said to those who didn’t obey his words and did what everyone else did. Matthew 7: 21-23 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. All I can say is read your Bible 📖 people. Shalom. Work your salvation with fear and trembling Philippians 2:12 don’t let people like Allen Parr deceive you, he doesn’t even understand the word of God at all. The bible makes it clear what who the Holy Spirit is and he is not equal to Jesus & Jehovah. He is a servant of Jesus Christ he only speaks what he’s told to and do what he is told to. Angel Gabriel, when he visited Zechariah the father of John the Baptist in & Mary the mother of Jesus, the account will tell you also how John the Baptist was filled with the holy spirit in his mother’s womb read, Luke 1: 5-45. Gabriel was a Holy Spirit, so as Michael because they did as they were told. Gabriel struck Zechariah with muteness because he did not believe the word of God and the bible also defines the Holy Spirit Exodus 23: 20-23 20 Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. 21 Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him. 22 But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries. To which Jesus said about the Holy Spirit in John 16 John 16: 7, 12-15 verse 13-15 pay attention and it says 13 When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. 14 He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. 15 All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you. Then Jehovah made it plain clear cos he knew people like Allen Parr will cause people to worship angels cos the fallen Angels that fell are called Evil spirits and the Angels that stayed with God are called Holy Spirits, so if you’re talking about the Holy Spirit you need to tell us which one. Cos God send Michael to deal with Lucifer. He sent Gabriel to Daniel, Mary and her cousin Elizabeth that they were to have sons Jesus and John the Baptist. Notice Gabriel spoke what he was told and did what he was commanded to do he left Zechariah mute. Exodus 23: 20-23 reinforces what the Holy Spirit will do and his authority and how he present himself to you. Moses saw a burning bush, Joshua like Moses was told the same thing to take of his shoes, that’s what the Holy Spirit does. Then Apostle Paul cleared that whole trinity nonsense Hebrews 1:5-9 5 For to which of the angels did God ever say, "You are my Son, today I have begotten you"? Or again, "I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son"? 6 And again, when he brings the firstborn into the world, he says, "Let all God's angels worship him." 7 Of the angels he says, "He makes his angels winds, and his ministers a flame of fire." 8 But of the Son he says, "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom. 9 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your companions." You can know about all of this if you read the Bible 📖. Be blessed and do not be deceived by Allen Parr the spirit of truth is not in him

I've been debating on whether or not to be a Christian Hijabi. About 2 years ago I reconnected with God after declaring myself an atheist. I truly believe that all of his preachings are to be followed, and not just what the Christian culture goes along with. Not only do I find comfort in the thought of a hijab to please God, I am also tired of unwanted attention from men. I don't mean this in a narcissistic way, but I get a lot of attention for my looks, and at first it was flattering but now it's straight up annoying. I'm married and I feel like I'm tempting others by not covering. I really do feel God calling me to wear one. Please pray for me to gain the courage to wear one!
Praying for you!!! It’s a beautiful thing to cover your head in submission to God out of love and worship. It doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks. Do you 🙏🏽
@@jesusisthegreatestlovether4072 Not yet sadly! I’m thinking about ordering a hijab online and wearing it out. I live in the sticks in the South and I am pretty scared of judgement. But I have deleted all pictures off social media that show my hair.
I wore a head covering in public today. Wow did I get treated differently. 😬 I wore it because it’s cold and my hair is wet. I usually wear one in prayer. I was going to take it off before entering the store. I heard a voice say NO leave it on! So I obeyed and wow 😯 special treatment. Very respectful. Everyone was super nice.
@@bdayluv1986 I was thinking the same thing. I am presented with opportunities to pray for people all different times, so I’m thinking about wearing it all of the time.
When one allows themselves to be consumed with one doctrine it sometimes moves them to take the development of this doctrine a step further. In this case, certain sects that adhere to head covering have made the ordinance that women ought to wear veils nearly 24 hours a day. The way this is justified is due to the amalgamation of verses such as 1st Thessalonians 5:17, which states we are to “pray without ceasing” and the verses in 1 Corinthians 11 that mention women “praying.” For many in the head covering movement this mixture of verses draws more problems as it hurts the argument for those who adhere to wearing veils only under two conditions. Since the argument is that women are to wear a veil or hat for a couple of moments in time and/or only during what they interpret to mean “public” worship and not for practically 24 hours a day, every day for the rest of their lives. It is evident that the “24-hour argument” has to reject the idea that it is only worn during public worship or any brief moment. Extremists will wear them night and day but yet there are practical questions that need to be answered regarding changing clothes, washing and sleeping. People who are not so extreme and have no problem taking it off during these moments have told me (in order to justify and rationalize wearing their veils throughout the day) is that to avoid constantly putting it on and taking it off they might as well leave it on. So it is more convenient to leave it on. The problem is that within certain sects that admit that they simply keep it on for convenience have strict rules with no option to take it off even if they are not praying. And if they are seen without it they might get a strict lecture. This type of reasoning is how man-made doctrines are formed. I almost have no doubt that this must be causing some veil promoters to live in a very confusing bubble, especially those who use the two-condition argument and at the same time claim it out to be worn nearly all the time. For on the one hand, they argue that the covering is a veil that one puts on when praying or prophesying but on the other hand, it is required to be worn nearly all the time. So, it’s ok to preach that it is removable but in practice, they have their women BOUND to wear them and not take them off regardless of whether they are praying or prophesying. This is very inconsistent. This one misinterpretation causes a snowball effect by creating an array of issues, which is not biblically supported. Also, if a woman should cover her head with a hat or veil all the time because she should always be praying then this should also mean that a man should NEVER have his head covered because he should always be praying all the time as well. But men wear all kinds of head coverings for various reasons on a day-to-day basis and it is not considered a sin. For example, during winter a bald man would wear a hat to insulate his head against the cold, and a man that works in construction would and should wear a helmet for safety purposes. If we were to accept that, unlike verses 4 and 5 explicitly state, 1st Corinthians 11 teaches women to ALWAYS wear head coverings, then we are also saying men should NOT wear a head covering at any time. The latter proposition is clearly not reasonable and thus makes of no effect this interpretation.
When I first got saved, I was newly transformed back to my natural hair but still wearing wigs. Later I was convicted on the wigs then I was convicted on how much attention I was giving to my natural hair. Later, again I was convicted over and over about wearing a head covering when I pray and even when I go out because the Lord revealed to me how much of a distraction my hair was. Even at church my sisters would say how much they love my hair and it was distracting them from focusing on God and I was always trying to make it look good for church. (It became an idol/god) I truly believe that this is an individual conviction and God convicts who he pleases. It’s up to us to obey. Covering my head was hard at first but the Lord comforts me always and reassures me why I need to be covered, not just my head but all of me. He wants me to be Holy, set apart and focus on him wholeheartedly. If someone needs a prayer, I’m always covered and ready to help. It’s truly humbling for me. We are called to be humbled as well. We are to do the Lord’s will not matter the time or culture. It’s so good to finally see a video on this topic and I thank you for bringing this to us. Let us all pray and let the Holy Spirit leads for his name sake.
you’re basically saying that you felt guilty over doing something harmless . The question you need answered here is why should you feel this type of pointless guilt over something silly and harmless like your hairstyle?
@@dancingnature this walk with the Lord is personal and only I can determine if it's "silly and harmless"...spiritual things are spiritually discern. I am no longer a slave to my hair. Spending so much time on my "look", on my hair was causing stress and separating me from my Creator. I now have way more time to focus on God. I don't need hairstyles to be beautiful. I need Jesus! That's between me and Jesus. My question for you dear, is what are you being a slave to?
@@jidechiemeka Thank you so much! I couldn't agree more. So many people are dying just so others can wear wigs when God gave us all beautiful hair. I adorn myself with godly virtues now. I'm happy!!!
I wear a head covering daily mostly because my actual hair is a mess most days! Also when I’m alone with God I always cover my head in prayer and worship. I do believe this is something God will convict on however and shouldn’t be something people pressure women to do.
God is concerned about our hearts not our outerwear, even though the bible speaks about modest dressing. There is places in the world where people can't even afford clothes but they love Jesus with all their hearts. Let get our hearts right before God, being religious will not save us
Yes, Paul was giving his advice on what they asked. A woman doesn't have to wear a covering because her hair is her covering. If anyone continued reading those verses, at the end Paul said if anyone wants to argue about the subject, that they have no such tradition of head coverings! 1 Corinthians 11:15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering. 11:16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
I wear a head covering any time I am in church or in personal prayer. This is because the bible says to do so and also after praying over the issue the Lord laid it in my heart to wear a head covering during worship and prayer time, because it pleases Him.
Thank you for sharing. I feel I am being led to wear one in church but I often pray in bed before I fall asleep… I was going to ask your opinion but whoops I should just ask God 😬
Jesus Christ had the Apostle Paul tell WIVES to cover their heads while formal worship in churches! The Koine' Greek word for woman in these verses of 1 Corinthians chapter 11 is the word for WIVES, not a single woman or a widow! To each his own!❤(I'm an elderly invalid widow, and I attend services on Pal Talk)
I started veiling my head as I felt called to do so, to live a modest life that wards off unwanted attention. It's crazy how when I had my "conventionally attractive" loose curls out, it literally "compelled" men to stop infront of me with their cars, harass me in stores and bother me practically everywhere I go. I think veiling is great to show my modesty and provide me a level of protection from the male gaze. And I do believe that my true husband will adore me for beyond my hair, he will see my other qualities and once he sees my hair, it will be hopefully a pleasant surprise.
It’s sad that your internalized misogyny made you blame yourself. Those males harassed you for power& control, it’s NEVER your fault. Trust me, I Fred modestly and still got harassed. The male gaze is just about overflowing vulnerable women. They’d never go near a confident assertive woman, modest or not.
@disciple of CHRIST So is veiling for God or for men? You can’t have it both ways if you’re gonna claim only God should be obeyed. If veiling is showing submission to God and not for the male gaze, then why don’t men cover up too? You have a lot of contradictions.
@disciple of CHRIST Your comment is hilarious because if it’s “nature”, then why are men naturally born with the same long hair as women? It took haircuts to get it short for them Lmaoo. And not all women are born with long hair, many of us are born with medium or short hair and that’s OK. Stop acting like a cult, let women wear what WE want.
It’s gets easier as you get older as surprisingly men become less interested hehe. On a serious note I prefer to educate men about their behaviour when I’m made uncomfortable, but in a safe environment, as that is where the issue lies not with hair, clothes etc, but appreciate not all people have the confidence. I am lucky to be in a country with generally good laws that protect all and striving to educate men to reduce harassment. Also a good God wouldn’t be concerned about covering or not covering hair and a good person equally would see beyond that. Do what makes you comfortable.
I absolutely love having my head covered, especially when I am praying and worshipping. I noticed my teenage daughter was inquiring about heading covering on a biblical perspective, now she cover's her hair during prayer and at church.
For the the Christian women to cover her head, it is the word of God. Yes they should cover their heads. It is not for the man to force the women to cover their heads, but to teach it and leave it when they understand it. It is a personal thing between the woman and the Lord. Jesus say if you called me Lord then why you don't do what I say. They are many who received Jesus as their saviour but not their Lord. To give an eg. In the book of Isaiah chapter 6:2 the seraphims (angels) cover with their wings whenever they are in the presence of God. So in Corinthians it says because of the angels. When the body of Christ meets together, their are angels that gather around us to learn the manifold wisdom of God and the are looking on to see if the women are keeping the Devine order. The women should cover their glory, only Christ glory must be seen. I hope this is helpful. The Lord bless you.
@loyalty Yes it is , my relationship still remains with Christ w or w/o one that has nothing to do with your heart towards Jesus , he still speaks to me & still feel his presence …nothings wrong with doing it but ain’t go stop nothing Jesus saying come as u are- anyone who says otherwise is just SUPER RELIGIOUS that has nothing to do with Heaven nor winning souls , GN & Be blessed !
I just had this conversation with my husband and self a few months ago. I've found that wearing my covering when out makes me FEEL covered and I like that feeling. Its knowing I'm not giving "myself" away to everyone. God is amazing when it comes to helping us do the right things, just trust in his answers and pray. Good luck to everyone.

Wearing something on my head never has stopped me from feeling Gods presence nor has he has ever convicted me for not wearing one like he has on other things ...I still pray in Holy spirit & etc...That has nothing to do with your Salvation & relationship with Christ ...sometimes we interpret the bible based on feelings & not by Holy spirit....Tradition & Religion has been a mindset instead of just seeking & listening for God ....Thats a choice its not a Sin to not wear a head coverings nor is it a bad thing it’s just a choice maybe it was something from Old Covenant we are not required to do that ...My church is a powerful Supernatural spirit filled place & we Don’t wear head coverings at all unless we just want to ...God bless 💕✝️
When I was younger I read that passage and no one at my church could explain to me why we do not wear head coverings as women and why we do not wash each other's feet. They tried to tell me it wasn't a requirement but I always felt that the verse said what it said. But since I wasn't married and the veil was a symbol of the authority of the husband, I told myself I would revisit it when I'm married. Today marks the third week that I've been married and Allen posted that video. I am also wearing a head covering at the moment (mostly because my hair is a mess but still...). I do not think it's a coincidence.
You are 100% right head covering should be a practice in the churches I don't know why they brush over it. But the washing of feet is not necessary it was just an example of humility I love breaking that one down but too long to write down hear
Paul was giving his advice on what they asked. A woman doesn't have to wear a covering because her hair is her covering. If anyone continued reading those verses, at the end Paul said if anyone wants to argue about the subject, that they have no such tradition of head coverings. 1 Corinthians 11:15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering. 11:16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.

@Sirusthegreat2 so if we don’t choose to wear a wrap or “headscarf” we just should have our hair instead of cutting it short? Oh anyway he got further into the Bible and explained it 🙃
*The idea of "modesty" is a joke. God created us to be fully nude with NO SHAME and it was only when we started playing our own game that we started viewing our bodies as disgraceful. 99% of clothing has nothing to do with trying to be sexy, it's just the individual wearing what makes them comfortable. Clothing doesn't influence bad actions, bad character does.*
I don't know where I stand on this issue (I'm female), but the point you made about short hair on women being a culture thing made me pause... The same nation that thinks women with short hair is fine also thinks men wearing dresses is empowering, abortion is loving, same-sex marriage is natural, etc... So maybe we should follow Paul's teachings literally in order to be separate from the world?
@@kngnk815 yes but for example my mom’s family is North African and some of the women can’t grow their hair long to even be cut; I guess what I am saying is it’s not all a cultural issue, there are circumstances where women can’t grow hair to be a « covering » ; hence the need for a actual covering either scarf or fabric.
The main principle for the whole pericope (1Cor11:2-16) is HEADSHIP. Particularly the HUSBAND is the head of the WIFE. It is to solve the problem in Corinth, there are contentious wives (verse 16 and succeeding chapters) that possibly offends Jews, Gentiles and other churches of God (Chapter 10:32). Head coverings, order of creation and long/short hair are just supporting arguments to solidify the main principle Paul is preaching. These are arguments from ALREADY ACCEPTED BELIEFS by Corinthians (regardless if they are subjective/objective truth) i.e. argument from CULTURE (headcovering), CREATION (Adam and Eve) and NATURE (Long/short hair as glory/shame). It is NOT a problem in Corinth that there are women who do not cover their head, or do not believe in the order of creation, or that there are women that cut their hair short... they BELIEVE THESE ALREADY,.... reason why Paul used these "already accepted beliefs" to strengthen his argument that the husband is the head of the wife... in order to solve the REAL PROBLEM in corinth... i.e. contentious women that causes others to be offended. In any case, the overriding principle is LOVE for your fellowmen, not to offend them so they can be saved (Chapter 10:33) Paul's intention is NOT to require wearing of headcovering or long hair PER SE for all time, for all culture... But for all Christians for all time and culture to imitate him in observing the absolute truth of love or AGAPE (1Cor11:1), i.e. not to put a stumbling block to anyone towards worshiping God (1Cor10:32). And it is offensive to see contentious women in the church... Why? Because the husband (whose head is Christ) is the head of the wife. There are Corinthians who do not know or do not observe this PRINCIPLE (verse 3 starts with a reprimand "BUT I would have you know... ") The three supporting arguments of Paul to build his main theme of headship, are merely symbols (NOT commandments on their own). Symbols with meanings (tied in their culture) that are COINCIDENTLY perfect to be used to illustrate TO THE CORINTHIANS why the husband should not be headed by the wife, and why the wife should be headed by the husband(whose head is Christ, a real christian) If things were different, for example, the problem of contentious wives happened here in the Philippines, Paul would have used different accepted symbols/arguments to show what the God ordained headship in marriage looks like. Paul might have used that it is shameful for men to wear skirt (as it symbolizes a husband is being headed by his wife), this is the MEANING of this symbol in my country (at least more so in the 60's 70's). Again, the problem is not about the non-observance of these symbols (headcovering, long hair) or non belief of the creation narrative. The problem is the non observance of some wives on the God ordained PRINCIPLE of headship that causes or might cause a stumbling block for others (Jews, Gentiles and churches of God). This is a very convuluted passage on the point of view of someone living in 2021 with a very different cultural mindset. So historical, social, cultural, Biblical context is very important in order to have a coherent understanding of the Scripture. I do not want to go in details about literal circumcision and other legalistic rituals that emphasizes on the outward appearance instead of the what is really important for God... THE INNER MAN. Something to think about. Hope this helps. May God give us all the wisdom to discern His words.
In the last church I attended most of the women covered their hair. I was new in the faith and so I began covering my head as well, although not 100% convinced it was necessary. I have to say that it did make me feel SO much closer to God when I was wearing it and praising/worshipping Him. There was something so humbling about it and made me feel as though I was honouring God in a different way. I’m still not certain on where I stand with the issue of head coverings (although I’m leaning more towards the side of wearing it) but that was my personal experience with it. God bless 🙏🏽

@@rere8635 I feel the same way. I was going to pit in comments this exact same thing. Nobody must not have read further down to verse 15 the hair is the covering. I don't feel as though we have to do this in present time like days of the past. But there is nothing wrong with wearing the covering.
Although I believe there are cultural differences in which type of head covering we may use (hat, veil, turban, headband, etc), I believe that the practice of head covering was meant to transcend culture. Just cause something is cultural does not mean it’s right. There are plenty of cultural things that go against God’s word. Also, isn’t most of what the Bible teaches us counter-cultural? I still haven’t found anything in the Bible that tells me that head covering is no longer required of us, but after some researching I did find out that it was practiced in the church for thousands of years up until the feminist movement. People understood what the symbol of head covering meant and hated it so much that the National Organization of Women even called for a “national unveiling” back in 1968 where they would burn their head covering as a way to “protest the second class status of women in all churches.” Not wearing a head covering for them was a way to show their rejection of God’s established order of headship. I know that’s not why most women don’t head cover anymore, but after learning that, not covering didn’t sit well with me anymore, so I’ve been covering for the past few months and I’ve learned so much about submission, meekness, humility, modesty, headship, etc. 1 Corinthians 11 has so much more to teach us than we even realize.
I wear one as a symbol that I am under my husband's authority. He said women "ought to wear one as a symbol..." It isn't a command, but I choose to because it's just a good conversation starter to share my faith and a good way to walk closer with God.
@@ksprecher8758 I know what it says, it says my glory of hair is given to me as a covering. But the very next verse says if anyone is inclined to be contentious about it, there's no such practice nor in the church. But verse 10 clearly says a women ought to 'wear' a covering as a *symbol* of authority. So I do. It tells everyone that that I practice this with no contention for God has placed my husband over me and I love the Lord so it is with a happy heart that I wear a covering in submission to that authority. :)
When i real got saved(was saved before but not serious) in april 2020, i got a conviction on holiness but as we of now i have started covering my head with cotton scarfs and preferably cotton, no short sleeves,no more tights, no more gyming,no more trousers, no more nail polishing,jewelery,no more tights(skirts,dresses and inner bikers), and now am still struggling with alot of these but i have to for obedience purposes. I am to remove my iud soon i also were sockings now especially with open shoes. Still praying about eggs n chicken but am hopeful for God to answer me.
@@lydiakamwine3902 do you cover your head when you pray and are at church? I’m still learning this stuff. I stopped wearing make up, stopped wearing leggings, but I haven’t been covering my head and I wear tennis shoes , jeans, and sports sweaters.... so I’m not sure if those are ok??
Amen ... I had tons of reasons why I should not wear one and they were all selfish and vain!! But God was gracious and walked me through scripture and showed me the truth.
@@Sherlock245 That's a ceremonial law , ceremonies aren't performed anymore because Jesus stood in place for them. The Moral law is what applies to this day and Jesus took it upon Himself to fullfill it so that we may be made righteous through Him
In Timothy the Bible tells us to rightly divide the Word. Understand Paul was writing to converted Jews who found it hard to leave their customs. Others wanted to drop everything and go wild. Note that non- Jews were not asked to keep these customs. What Paul was attempting to do was maintain order as they came to know their freedom in grace. You on the other hand have never lived that way so how can you say GOD is telling you to live Jewish?
@@RuthDameron In 1 Cor. 11, it's not possible the chapter was written for certain customs only. But I don't judge if anyone believes they must not practice the head covering.
i started covering my head and dressing more modestly because i was tired of being a stumbling block for men and women, as-well as not being taken seriously as a christian because of how i was previously dressing, I've even had a situation of me telling someone about God and them just commenting on my looks ..i wish i were jk. it's also helped me feel safer overall, im not being followed off the bus anymore which used to happen 2/5 times i took the bus and ppl just arent distracted anymore and im not uncomfortable anymore. it mainly started with the Holy Spirit convicting me tho. i find modesty so empowering.it's also started conversations about God between many of different faith and non believers and it's become really helpful in spreading God's word to these people
But i also find it sad that you have to cover up to feel safe. Instead of changing or stopping the people behaving this way you change your looks to avoid that behavior.
Someone else's issue with lust is not your burden to bear. If that's the case, you should wear a birka and cover your whole self head to toe. We don't stop eating around people who struggle with gluttony. We keep eating. Sis, if you're beautiful, praise God for that. You don't need to look "blah" in order to not be a stumbling block for others. They need to get their heart right before the Lord and get their eyes off of you. Modesty is birthed in the heart first and foremost. Rachel Stephens has some great YT videos on "modesty culture". Blessings 🙌🏾

I think head coverings is only for when your praying in 1 corinthians 11 . 5 it also says that the woman hair is her glory and given to her as a Covering so praying cover your head when not your hair is the covering. That’s what I understood from 1 corinthians
So, 4 minutes after you posted this I put utube on for instrumental music while I pray. This video popped up. God speaks through you, as I have been trying to cover my head while I pray but often just plain forget. I don’t judge any woman who chooses not to cover, but I really want to practice it. Thank you God for Allen’s videos, I covered my head this morning while I prayed and will keep a scarf in my prayer corner so I will not forget. Hallelujah!
Im not sure why you were trying to cover your head, but just know that you don't have to cover your head if you don't want to. It's not required. Paul was giving his advice on what they asked. A woman doesn't have to wear a covering because her hair is her covering. If anyone continued reading those verses, at the end Paul said if anyone wants to argue about the subject, that they have no such tradition of head coverings. 1 Corinthians 11:15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering. 11:16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
Great video, Allen! As someone who grew up around head coverings but doesn't wear one today, this is such a tricky topic because it partly has to do with the heart! I don't not believe head coverings should be forced onto anyone especially when considering manners and customs during the Bible times; however, it could be a beautiful display of affection and/or obedience for God when an individual willingly makes the decision to do so after examining the Bible and praying for guidance. I would caution that wearing an head covering is only for the Lord and does not make that person in any way superior to those who do not.
This! I grew up Amish and now that I plan to leave soon I'm trying to find more information on this subject. I just feel like the head covering is a symbol more than an actual requirement. I mean,is God really going to keep me out of Heaven just because I don't wear a head covering? I can't believe he would. Also I have a neighbor who stopped wearing a head covering after she left the Amish and a mother and sisters who wear one. When I look at their lives,I ask myself,which of these women do I feel is more Christlike? Whose example do I want to follow? And it's my neighbor. So my choice is not to wear the head covering
@@Rosesandrainyroads I like what you said here because of how accurate it is. I've met many self-righteous women who belittle and look down upon other women for not being “godly” enough. While I do believe the principle behind head coverings is essential and transcultural, I've noticed it’s tip-toeing towards idolatry. Almost the same way having children has become. Whatever a woman chooses to do, women should remember to remain humble and focus on God. Head coverings don't make you holier than others.
I only cover my head when I pray.. but most of the time I wear a scarf on my head cause I’ll never know If I’ll run into someone who needs a prayer 🙏🏾 but great video!
You can be feminine and still believe in social, political and economical equality between men and women (aka feminism). They are not mutually exclusive. This verse illustrates that men and women are equal (i.e. both worthy of the same regard, respect, honour, dignity, consideration, etc.) even though they are different (one being weaker) since they both inherit the same grace of life. We can be different and still be equal. Using equity (difference in treatment dependent on the need in order to achieve fairness), we can achieve equal enjoyment of life that we've all inherited from God. "Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered" (1 peter 3:7-9). If you understand that weaker does not mean lesser, not every other man shares your opinion. That's why feminism exists. There are still men who are killing women for rejecting them. There are married men who are raping their wives, etc. Femicide is still a thing all over the world. I've heard a guy from church saying submission means that women are subservient to men and no one checked him. If you don't want to see feminism, make it irrelevant by fighting the root cause of its existence. Feminism is not a bad thing in itself. Just like anything else it can be misused, misinterpreted or misunderstood but its core idea is equality among human beings irrespective of their genders and that's Godly. Just like anything godly it is attacked by the ennemy. If it wasn't for feminism, your mother wouldn't have the right to vote or work. Judging feminism on the basis of its extreme interpretation is the same as judging Christianism on the basis of its twisted interpretations. Anything can be perverted. Also, we need to understand that the way our cultures define femininity is completely subjective. Many traits that are attached to femininity are things that God requires from both men and women. The same applies to some of the masculine traits defined by society. Courage and strength categorised as masculine traits are things that God expects from his people regardless of gender (Joshua 1:6; Ephesians 6:10, Psalm 27:14, etc.). Likewise Kindness and gentlessness (both fruits of the spirit) along with humility and modesty are things that God expects from all his people regardless of gender. But those are regarded as feminine traits in society. Does that mean a man that displays those qualities is less manly or effeminate? Or are we going to deny a woman her feminine nature because she lacks some fruits of the Spirit?
Show her I Corinthians 11. Allow her to find fault if she can. It all comes down to you. You are responsible for the truth when you learn it. You have to make account for yourself not your mom. Be respectful. Honor her by talking about what you feel according to Scripture. Allow her to process. In the end you will have her respect.
HIS POINTS DO NOT SEEM TO MATCH WHAT THE SCRIPTURE SAYS. HERE IS THE REPLY I GAVE HIM: YOU MADE MANY INCORRECT POINTS: 1. You ask if it is the PRINCIPLE or the PRACTICE, which is important, but in 1 Corinthians 11:2, Paul praises the Corinthians for "HOLD [ING] FIRMLY to the traditions, JUST AS [HE] HANDED THEM DOWN TO [THEM]" (communicating that the actual PRACTICE is important}. 2. You state that practices may differ based on cultures or where you live, but Paul says that THE PRACTICE is to be performed DUE TO MAN BEING THE IMAGE AND GLORY OF GOD, WOMAN BEING THE GLORY OF MAN, WOMAN BEING MADE FOR MAN AND BECAUSE OF THE ANGELS, which means that IT IS NOT BASED ON CULTURE, BUT ON THE NATURE AND PURPOSE OF MANKIND'S CREATION AND THE EXISTENCE OF THE ANGELS (v. 7-10), and SINCE THOSE REASONS STILL EXIST, SO DOES THE EXPECTATION TO PERFORM THE PRACTICES. 3 NOTHING IN 1 CORINTHIANS 11:1-16 says that the instructions are for PUBLIC GROUP WORSHIP, as: a) Paul says "EVERY man" and "EVERY woman" without (even once) giving any indication as to venue b) verse 16 says that "if anyone is inclined to be contentious, we have no such practice, NOR DO THE CHURCHES OF GOD", implying that he was addressing all INDIVIDUAL BEHAVIOR (as opposed to saying 'neither do the OTHER churches of God [which WOULD HAVE indicated that he was solely addressing 'IN-CHURCH BEHAVIOR']) c) Paul doesn't start talking about behavior DURING PUBLIC WORSHIP UNTIL VERSE 17, when he gives instruction about 'The Lord's Supper' as he mentioned FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES, that he was ADDRESSING PUBLIC WORSHIP BY STATING: "For first indeed, of you COMING TOGETHER IN AN ASSEMBLY" (v. 18), "of you COMING TOGETHER IN ONE PLACE" (v. 20), "do you despise THE CHURCH OF GOD" (v. 22) and "COMING TOGETHER in order to eat" (v. 33) (which is why all examples which you gave for instructions for 'group worship' come from AFTER 1 Corinthians 11:16). 4. You said that in that culture, a woman with a covered head showed submissiveness to her husband, therefore a man who covers his head shows submission to someone else, is reversing roles and blurring gender lines; HOWEVER, THE SCRIPTURE DOESN'T SAY ANY OF THAT, or that the instructions were based on that. There is no mention of 'blurring gender lines' or 'role reversal', but the propriety of the practice due to the nature and purpose of the creation of mankind and because of the angels (v. 7-10). 5. You said that a woman who does not cover her head dishonored her husband, but THE BIBLE DOES NOT SAY THAT "HEAD" EXCLUSIVELY REFERS TO A "HUSBAND", BUT TO "MAN". JUST AS GOD IS THE HEAD OF CHRIST, BUT IS NOT CHRIST'S HUSBAND (BUT HIS FATHER), HEAD may refer to an authoritative man (possibly, whether living or dead) WHO IS NOT THE WOMAN'S HUSBAND. 6. You claim that in our culture women can shave their head and no stigma is attached, so it is O.K. for them to pray or prophecy uncovered, but, it only takes one generation to normalize a practice which is wicked (such as transgenderism in this generation) so normalization of a practice WHICH THE BIBLE SAYS IS SHAMEFUL (v. 5) is not a bar for holiness as gender lines started crossing a few decades ago [but even today, a woman can still see a natural shame in one's shaving her head bald]. Further, 1 Corinthians 11:1-16 state, several times, that the instructions are to be followed, for multiple reasons; but never said a woman does not have to follow the instructions if they do not find a shaven head to be shameful. 7. You said that many theologians believe that , in that culture, prostitutes had their heads shaved (though you stated that there is no solid proof for that) and said that the shaved head communicated immoral culture, rejecting femininity and that a woman praying with her head uncovered was demonstrating same level of rebellion as a prostitute HOWEVER, NOT ONLY DOES THE BIBLE NOT STATE ANY OF THAT, but, even IF temple prostitues shaved their heads, THE BIBLE DOES NOT SAY THAT THE HEAD COVERING INSTRUCTIONS ARE BASED ON THE PRACTICE OF TEMPLE PROSTITUTES (or, as an example: construction workers do not wear hats because America likes fashionable hats / there is no direct connection between the two), AND THESE SCRIPTURES DO NOT MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT SEXUAL IMMORALITY, BEING AVAILABLE TO OTHER MEN OR TAKING DOWN THE HAIR, SO you are IGNORING THE SCRIPTURAL REASONS for the practices (the nature and purpose of the creation of mankind and the existence of the angels) and NEGATING GOD'S SCRIPTURAL INSTRUCTIONS, based on REASONS THAT THE SCRIPTURE DOES NOT PROVIDE.
Well for me I personally love wearing my head wraps and I think they are essential while I praise. For me it's just natural as I worship Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and give Him the Glory. No judgement no condemnation no carnality within my heart for those individuals who don't. Just a personal act of worship for me God Bless 🙏🏾✝️❣️
Amen! I am just curious sister, since I am learning about this now, how did it start for you? Did you read the passage and ask questions? Did you feel convicted by the Holy Spirit? Did you get taught? I am just seeking other women’s experiences and want to make sure I’m not allowing opinions to influence me but at the same time I want to hear from others. I am a married woman. I have a sister who is single, would this apply to single women if they don’t have a head (husband) or would their head then be their father? What if the head is not a practicing Christian who is submitted to Christ? Thanks!
@@shantijamilah8688 For me it started when I decided to give my life to Christ and the scripture itself 1 Corinthians 11. When I was Secular I would wear my hair long and dyed auburn after going through a personal storm in my life. I wanted to freely give myself to the Lord I stopped wearing my hair down and perming it. Now I have a kinky afro and plenty of wraps it was so refreshing and new. To discover I was not only my hair but I was someone's wife and Gods child. When the Holy Spirit touches you it personifies who you truly are within. Like I stated before it's a personal choice for me and it gives me as a Woman a sense of Humility.

Why? Don't be like the hypocrites like the muslims that have to do rituals when they pray come to God as you are you wear heels and makeup anyways God doesn't care about material appearance he cares about your heart You can pray to God no matter where your at no matter how you look that's the beauty and so happy Jesus came let us free from all those rituals I have a relationship with Jesus so I just talked to him I don't have to go and do a whole ritual so he can hear me hes my father if I don't do that with my parents why would I do that for God when I go to my mom I don't have to Do certain rituals so they could hear me or my dad
You can wear make up and heels it’s totally fine. No need for head coverings too...if you prefer to live without make up and heels it’s ok but it’s not a requirement for Christian women to do that.
@@manuelavanini3010 I desire therefore that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting; in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing, but, which is proper for women professing godliness, with good works. Let a woman learn in silence with all submission. And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression. Nevertheless she will be saved in childbearing if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control. (1Ti 2:8-15, NKJV)
@@sasajevremovic7901 modesty doesn’t mean no make up or no heels... there are different ways of wearing makeup and different types of heels. I guess that quoting this passage you are basically saying that it is a requirement for a Christian woman to be very plain and simple. I don’t agree at all. So a make-up artist cannot be Christian? And a fashion designer? We are going too far...
I love the apostle Paul. He knows how to make relative comparisons to provide an answer(s). Even his address on the sabbath is classic. The Law of Christ is incredible.
It says if you don't cover your hair, you might as well shave it off. This verse in context couldn't mean that long hair in itself is the same as the fabric covering, because if it was, this would just be a command for woman to have long hair.
@@Loved-by-the-Father Show me where your covering is fabric. It literally says “for her hair is given her for a covering.” What do you do with that part of the verse?
@@Loved-by-the-Father and it is commanding for a woman to have long hair and for a man to have short hair. 1 Corinthians 11:14 KJV Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?
After studying this passage, it doesn't say that the covering is temporary or up for debate or cultural. It is important to the Lord that I do this and I will continue to do so in obedience to His Word.
You didn’t watch the video, or you don’t understand the concept of principle vs practice as explained in the video. I think if you want to wear a head covering and feel convicted to do so; go for it. I would draw a line at telling others they are required to do the same, which in your defense, you haven’t done here.
Peace and love, please check out this video about head covering th-cam.com/video/qmDGTTgAvmY/w-d-xo.html It is not a law, but if you want to wear one or of love, then there's is nothing wrong. The same as someone who do not wear one (if it does not put a stumbling block to people in a certain culture). The main principle for the whole pericope (1Cor11:2-16) is HEADSHIP. Particularly the HUSBAND is the head of the WIFE. It is to solve the problem in Corinth, there are contentious wives (verse 16 and succeeding chapters) that possibly offends Jews, Gentiles and other churches of God (Chapter 10:32). Head coverings, order of creation and long/short hair are just supporting arguments to solidify the main principle Paul is preaching. These are arguments from ALREADY ACCEPTED BELIEFS by Corinthians (regardless if they are subjective/objective truth) i.e. argument from CULTURE (headcovering), CREATION (Adam and Eve) and NATURE (Long/short hair as glory/shame). It is NOT a problem in Corinth that there are women who do not cover their head, or do not believe in the order of creation, or that there are women that cut their hair short... they BELIEVE THESE ALREADY,.... reason why Paul used these already accepted belief to strengthen his argument that the husband is the head of the wife... in order to solve the REAL PROBLEM in corinth... i.e. contentious women that causes others to be offended. In any case, the overriding principle is LOVE for your fellowmen, not to offend them so they can be saved (Chapter 10:33) Paul's intention is NOT to require wearing of headcovering or long hair PER SE for all time, for all culture... But for all Christians for all time and culture to imitate him in observing the absolute truth of love or AGAPE (1Cor11:1), i.e. not to put a stumbling block to anyone towards worshiping God (1Cor10:32). And it is offensive to see contentious women in the church... Why? Because the husband (whose head is Christ) is the head of the wife. There are Corinthians who do not know or do not observe this PRINCIPLE (verse 3 starts with a reprimand "BUT I would have you know... ") The three supporting arguments of Paul to build his main theme of headship, are merely symbols (NOT commandments on their own). Symbols with meanings (tied in their culture) that are COINCIDENTLY perfect to be used to illustrate TO THE CORINTHIANS why the husband should not be headed by the wife, and why the wife should be headed by the husband. If things were different, for example, the problem of contentious wives happened here in the Philippines, Paul would have used different symbols/arguments to show what the God ordained headship in marriage looks like. Paul might have used that it is shameful for men to wear skirt (as it symbolizes a husband is being headed by his wife), this is the MEANING of this symbol in my country (at least more so in the 60's 70's). Again, the problem is not about the non-observance of these symbols (headcovering, long hair) or non belief of the creation narrative. The problem is the non observance of some wives on the God ordained PRINCIPLE of headship that causes or might cause a stumbling block for others (Jews, Gentiles and churches of God). This is a very convuluted passage on the point of view of someone living in 2021 with a very different cultural mindset. So historical, social, cultural, Biblical context is very important in order to have a coherent understanding of the Scripture. I do not want to go in details about literal circumcision and other legalistic rituals that emphasizes on the outward appearance instead of the what is really important for God... THE INNER MAN. Something to think about. Hope this helps. May God give us all the wisdom to discern His words.
@@Rachel-nb2vn Jesus came to fulfill the law, indeed, but He upheld all the 10 commandments. In fact, He made them even stricter. Hateful thoughts equal murder, lustful thoughts equal adultery. The 10 commandments are part of the principles Alan was talking about in this video. Regardless of culture, or the times, these principles apply and Jesus upheld the commandments. The “laws” that Jesus fulfilled were regarding necessity for animal sacrifices, food restrictions, etc. Those are the “practices” Alan was talking about in this video. Point being if you’re going to follow the practices like headcoverings then why not feel convicted to follow all of them, like the tassel example I gave?? The answer is because practices like head coverings are absolutely not sinful to wear, but also not sinful to NOT wear.
Thank you Brother Allen for explaining this subject! My wife loves to rap her head and she feels that she is showing respect to the Lord for doing so. I tend to agree with her and I must admit that I enjoy her covering also! I really don't think that she has to wrap for respect of me but when I look at her wrapped i know that she is a woman of our God!!! God Bless you and your family!!!
HIS POINTS DO NOT SEEM TO MATCH WHAT THE SCRIPTURE SAYS. HERE IS THE REPLY I GAVE HIM: YOU MADE MANY INCORRECT POINTS: 1. You ask if it is the PRINCIPLE or the PRACTICE, which is important, but in 1 Corinthians 11:2, Paul praises the Corinthians for "HOLD [ING] FIRMLY to the traditions, JUST AS [HE] HANDED THEM DOWN TO [THEM]" (communicating that the actual PRACTICE is important}. 2. You state that practices may differ based on cultures or where you live, but Paul says that THE PRACTICE is to be performed DUE TO MAN BEING THE IMAGE AND GLORY OF GOD, WOMAN BEING THE GLORY OF MAN, WOMAN BEING MADE FOR MAN AND BECAUSE OF THE ANGELS, which means that IT IS NOT BASED ON CULTURE, BUT ON THE NATURE AND PURPOSE OF MANKIND'S CREATION AND THE EXISTENCE OF THE ANGELS (v. 7-10), and SINCE THOSE REASONS STILL EXIST, SO DOES THE EXPECTATION TO PERFORM THE PRACTICES. 3 NOTHING IN 1 CORINTHIANS 11:1-16 says that the instructions are for PUBLIC GROUP WORSHIP, as: a) Paul says "EVERY man" and "EVERY woman" without (even once) giving any indication as to venue b) verse 16 says that "if anyone is inclined to be contentious, we have no such practice, NOR DO THE CHURCHES OF GOD", implying that he was addressing all INDIVIDUAL BEHAVIOR (as opposed to saying 'neither do the OTHER churches of God [which WOULD HAVE indicated that he was solely addressing 'IN-CHURCH BEHAVIOR']) c) Paul doesn't start talking about behavior DURING PUBLIC WORSHIP UNTIL VERSE 17, when he gives instruction about 'The Lord's Supper' as he mentioned FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES, that he was ADDRESSING PUBLIC WORSHIP BY STATING: "For first indeed, of you COMING TOGETHER IN AN ASSEMBLY" (v. 18), "of you COMING TOGETHER IN ONE PLACE" (v. 20), "do you despise THE CHURCH OF GOD" (v. 22) and "COMING TOGETHER in order to eat" (v. 33) (which is why all examples which you gave for instructions for 'group worship' come from AFTER 1 Corinthians 11:16). 4. You said that in that culture, a woman with a covered head showed submissiveness to her husband, therefore a man who covers his head shows submission to someone else, is reversing roles and blurring gender lines; HOWEVER, THE SCRIPTURE DOESN'T SAY ANY OF THAT, or that the instructions were based on that. There is no mention of 'blurring gender lines' or 'role reversal', but the propriety of the practice due to the nature and purpose of the creation of mankind and because of the angels (v. 7-10). 5. You said that a woman who does not cover her head dishonored her husband, but THE BIBLE DOES NOT SAY THAT "HEAD" EXCLUSIVELY REFERS TO A "HUSBAND", BUT TO "MAN". JUST AS GOD IS THE HEAD OF CHRIST, BUT IS NOT CHRIST'S HUSBAND (BUT HIS FATHER), HEAD may refer to an authoritative man (possibly, whether living or dead) WHO IS NOT THE WOMAN'S HUSBAND. 6. You claim that in our culture women can shave their head and no stigma is attached, so it is O.K. for them to pray or prophecy uncovered, but, it only takes one generation to normalize a practice which is wicked (such as transgenderism in this generation) so normalization of a practice WHICH THE BIBLE SAYS IS SHAMEFUL (v. 5) is not a bar for holiness as gender lines started crossing a few decades ago [but even today, a woman can still see a natural shame in one's shaving her head bald]. Further, 1 Corinthians 11:1-16 state, several times, that the instructions are to be followed, for multiple reasons; but never said a woman does not have to follow the instructions if they do not find a shaven head to be shameful. 7. You said that many theologians believe that , in that culture, prostitutes had their heads shaved (though you stated that there is no solid proof for that) and said that the shaved head communicated immoral culture, rejecting femininity and that a woman praying with her head uncovered was demonstrating same level of rebellion as a prostitute HOWEVER, NOT ONLY DOES THE BIBLE NOT STATE ANY OF THAT, but, even IF temple prostitues shaved their heads, THE BIBLE DOES NOT SAY THAT THE HEAD COVERING INSTRUCTIONS ARE BASED ON THE PRACTICE OF TEMPLE PROSTITUTES (or, as an example: construction workers do not wear hats because America likes fashionable hats / there is no direct connection between the two), AND THESE SCRIPTURES DO NOT MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT SEXUAL IMMORALITY, BEING AVAILABLE TO OTHER MEN OR TAKING DOWN THE HAIR, SO you are IGNORING THE SCRIPTURAL REASONS for the practices (the nature and purpose of the creation of mankind and the existence of the angels) and NEGATING GOD'S SCRIPTURAL INSTRUCTIONS, based on REASONS THAT THE SCRIPTURE DOES NOT PROVIDE.
Allen , the Apostle Paul asked christian women at that time to wear head coverings when praying or prophesying because of these two following reasons : 1 - to show respect to "God's Ordained Hierarchy " ( 1 Cor.11 : 3 ) : God - Jesus Christ - Man - Woman ; and to clearly proclaim "God's Ordained Hierarchy " for God's glory . Since "God's Ordained Hierarchy " is still the same today , therefore Christian women of today also must do the same . 2 - Because of the Angels ( 1 Cor.11 : 10 ) . Since Angels still exist today , therefore Christian women of today also must do the same .
His teachings are, but the cultural differences matter. The New Testament was written a while ago. Thousands of years ago. The society was completely different.
It matters. I do not think God intended the world to be homogenous in appearance but faith. That's why what the Beat has explained on the principle of the matter is important. In Paul's culture, the hair and the covering were a symbol of submission, in other cultures, it is completely different (Maasai woman traditionally go bald while the men have long colourful braids).
@@a2l1able The messages are, but historically and based on regional factors and culture, is important. Because we're thousands of years apart. There is definitely something different
I recently started it in church because I felt very convicted about my previously negative response to my husband's headship. It feels wonderful because it is healing for me. My husband is head over me and he fulfills his obligation without complaint; with generous grace and unconditional love. I can cover my head for such a man, sent by such a God.

I really appreciate that you break it down to the deeper layers... principles v practices. God has been healing me from some things and the journey has been quite amazing. Things get quite scrambled for me and getting them out can be quite difficult. I often use too many words. "Principles v practices" helps sum up a big portion of ways God has been healing me. It also gives me a little more "excitement" about reading the bible again. I walked away from the church a long time ago because it seems like every church I go to are focused more on practices rather than principles, and getting the boxes checked off perfectly. They all SAY they want to get real, but when I trust that I find out they were lying... they really want no part of it. I literally had to walk away from the church because all the noise around going to church was a distraction for me in regards to focusing on God. I wasn't focused at all on learning what my personal relationship with God looked like because I was so focused on whether or not I was serving as much as I should have, or feeling defensive explaining that as a single mother I should be exempt from certain expectations, and instead rallied around rather than judged for assumptions that weren't even true, but most never bothered to learn the actual truth. (There have been a few exceptions along the way, but the majority of experiences have been negative and not about God at all, but rules and popularity contests. After walking away from the church my relationship with God began to soar. The catalyzing prayer was "God please show me my beauty through Your eyes!" I've seen some hints in various areas of my life where God seems to be "highlighting" the idea of reading the bible again, and maybe being in church again. I'm open to the idea, but believe it is still a ways off regarding church... but reading the bible again seems to be around the corner. I'm going to enjoy using this "filter" when applicable to help decipher different perspectives on passages. Thank you for the "tool."
This message was made just for me. I’ve been wrestling with this chapter especially because the majority of women in my church do wear head covering. Thank you for this video
But he is wrong on this one! Prayer is never and will never be a cultural practice. Culture or time does not change prayer. Prayer does not cease to be prayer simply because it is a different culture or at a different time. So God’s word says that women ought to cover their head WHEN THEY PRAY OR PROPHECY, and men ought to uncover their head WHEN THEY PRAY OR PROPHECY! Culture or time has nothing to do with it.

This just shows how far we have descended from the truth weather it be in principle or culture. These were put in place for a reason & as a believer we should uphold them. For the woman the head covering has a significance to do with the angels & we know what happen in genesis 6 & jude 6, also it helps to set us apart from the world.
A woman doesn't have to wear a covering because her hair is her covering. Paul was giving his advice on what they asked. If anyone continued reading those verses, at the end Paul said if anyone wants to argue about the subject, that they have no such tradition of head coverings. 1 Corinthians 11:15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering. 11:16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
i got that a woman doesnt have to wear it. To be honest believers as a whole dont "have" to do anything. its all about freedom of choice. the piece about the angels is still there & we know what happen in genesis 6 & jude 6
@@floridaboy305boy3 well, verse 16 says there is no tradition of head coverings. I don't know what the part about power on her head because of the angels mean, but it's certainly not about a piece of cloth.
@@背bせ So hair strands are kryptonite to angels? That is a stretch to say what Paul is talking about is related to gen6. And I cannot treat the book of enoch as truth. It's extra biblical, so we don't really know what happened then. We don't know how far that book was corrupted. Jesus explained what he meant when he said it will be like Noah's time when he returns. If you read in Matthew 24, he says just like it was business as usual for the evil people and then the flood suddenly came when they weren't expecting it and took them away, it will be the same when he returns. One person will be taken away in destruction and the other left untouched. He tells us to be ready and waiting for Him and living righteously so we won't be caught in a "suddenly" when he returns and end up like the ones going to destruction.
This is one of the most brilliant passages in the Bible for me. Paul did a Solomon and amazingly weaved in more than one message from God with one subject. My husband covers my head, and I am grateful that I can style my head with my hair and/or with beautiful church hats or scarves, etc.
Question. So if i cover my head in prayer and in church. Does a cap work? If i have long braids? I cant cover my whole head and do i have to cover my head constantly? Like at work? Or just sitting at home or out to eat? Im trying to learn...
@@beautifulinsideandout9822 Christianity is a religion of moral rules,not physical rules. We all are different. For example, some people use lavender oil to relax, but for some people the smell of lavender oil is too strong. Same way, some women like to cover their head. Some women don't. For ex:- I don't like covering my head,cuz that makes me feel itchy and uncomfortable ,so i can't focus properly. We have our likes and dislikes. Always focusing on physical rules takes away our focus from spiritual rules. And we become "Legalistic" Christians. We should be followers of Christ. We should be CHRIST- LIKE christians. We shouldn't be LEGALISTIC or LIBERAL Christians. I'm not saying its unnecessary to cover your head while praying. I'm saying that "head covering" is not a hard and fast rule. If God leads you to wear a head covering,you should cover your head. If God doesn't lead you,then you shouldn't. (Like me) i feel uncomfortable wearing wigs or head coverings and i can't properly focus. N if i lose focus while praying, i feel discontent and unsatisfied.
I like how you explain it was the show their gender. There's a lot of people are going against this today men looking like women and women looking like men

Its not a culture thing.... In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God. So the word is God. God is the same yesterday today and forever. So the word is the same yesterday today and forever. cultures may change over time but God remains the same and if something is put in the Bible as the word of God I am sure that whatever is in there was meant to stay in the practice of daily living. We don't change the word of God because times change. we don't change the word of God because it becomes inconvenient or doesn't match up with the latest women's lib belief system
The word does not change but the Bible is a book directed for all times. So the context of the head covering is relevant to that particular time. The message is still the same but the practices change. The message is still God as the head of the church and the man as the head of the woman. That reigns true but women at least where I am in Canada don't have the culture of middle eastern Jewish women of that day. So instead it is more relevant to follow the principle.
@@notabolished1331 There was a time where animal sacrifices were a command to make atonement as well. The New Testament brought us atonement through Jesus so that renders what was previously a command for us nullified. We are now living in the New Covenant under Christ’s grace. So practices do change in the context of scripture and though women are free to wear a covering if they choose to be faithful that way, it is not necessary under Christ’s grace if they are faithful in principle. The pagan culture mentioned in this video is actually applicable to the time when the Jews were living in that region. So though the times changed, and with it the practice. The message remains, therefore the principle does.
@@gem3618 Is the book of Corinthians not a New Testament book????????? What nonsense are you spueing out here????????? Was that Revelation about covering heads for women not revealed after JESUS had ascended into heaven, and the Holy Spirit sent down to the apostles?????????? Stop mixing things up and divide the Word diligently!!!!!!!! You come to support a false doctrine!!!???????? Shame on you too!!
Thank you 🙏🏽 for this video I’ve been deep in my Bible about this subject. This also makes me realize a lot about the rebellion against gender roles in this day and age with transgender‘s and binary people. Wow thank you 🙏🏽
I've been a Christian for many years and never covered my head (pretty much just ignored that scripture as hats etc seemed more distracting than hair in todays culture as few people do). Then a couple of weeks ago after a discussion on women pastors and believing it seems pretty clear to me that Paul meant exactly what he said (even if we don't like it) and darn it there was the scripture on head covering and that inner voice said "if thats true why don't you follow this as well". Even though all those culture etc excuses rose....I knew they were just that....excuses. I've always had an issue with "submission" (my family still laugh at the way I stumbled over it in my marriage vows, because we had agreed to remove it and the minister put it back in). So...I felt the Holy Spirit challenging me to do it, not out if all the hierarchical reasons given but just out of humble obedience and my love for Him. Oh Lord....I was actually nervous, thinking "what if everyone looks at me putting a scarf on as I enter the church and taking it off as I leave, especially as it doesn't even match my outfit" Yep....that's how worldly this mature Christian still is. I shocked myself!! I also shocked myself with how profound a the effect this simple act has had on me. Both the fact of God's intimate engagement with me (I've not spoken about this with anyone) and being willing to say 'yes' to something non-essential to salvation and personally uncomfortable in order to humble myself before my perfect head...Jesus. "Happening" on this today (first time EVER hearing it discussed) is just confirmation...for ME, on MY journey.
I also veil and embrace full modesty (covers arms and legs), I even sometimes cover my face. But it is kinda difficult as many women at my church do not wear veils and my family doesn’t support me in wearing it. But I still stay strong as YHWH convicted me to Veil when I first got back into Christianity. It truly keeps my focus on YHWH/Yeshua. I feel very protected when wearing it. I would love to see more fellow sisters veiling.
@Hazel E I apologize for late reply!! Its full time. And its just a lot easier when its on all the time (of course not in the shower lol or in my house unless I’m praying there). I hope this answers your question!
HIS POINTS DO NOT SEEM TO MATCH WHAT THE SCRIPTURE SAYS. HERE IS THE REPLY I GAVE HIM: YOU MADE MANY INCORRECT POINTS: 1. You ask if it is the PRINCIPLE or the PRACTICE, which is important, but in 1 Corinthians 11:2, Paul praises the Corinthians for "HOLD [ING] FIRMLY to the traditions, JUST AS [HE] HANDED THEM DOWN TO [THEM]" (communicating that the actual PRACTICE is important}. 2. You state that practices may differ based on cultures or where you live, but Paul says that THE PRACTICE is to be performed DUE TO MAN BEING THE IMAGE AND GLORY OF GOD, WOMAN BEING THE GLORY OF MAN, WOMAN BEING MADE FOR MAN AND BECAUSE OF THE ANGELS, which means that IT IS NOT BASED ON CULTURE, BUT ON THE NATURE AND PURPOSE OF MANKIND'S CREATION AND THE EXISTENCE OF THE ANGELS (v. 7-10), and SINCE THOSE REASONS STILL EXIST, SO DOES THE EXPECTATION TO PERFORM THE PRACTICES. 3 NOTHING IN 1 CORINTHIANS 11:1-16 says that the instructions are for PUBLIC GROUP WORSHIP, as: a) Paul says "EVERY man" and "EVERY woman" without (even once) giving any indication as to venue b) verse 16 says that "if anyone is inclined to be contentious, we have no such practice, NOR DO THE CHURCHES OF GOD", implying that he was addressing all INDIVIDUAL BEHAVIOR (as opposed to saying 'neither do the OTHER churches of God [which WOULD HAVE indicated that he was solely addressing 'IN-CHURCH BEHAVIOR']) c) Paul doesn't start talking about behavior DURING PUBLIC WORSHIP UNTIL VERSE 17, when he gives instruction about 'The Lord's Supper' as he mentioned FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES, that he was ADDRESSING PUBLIC WORSHIP BY STATING: "For first indeed, of you COMING TOGETHER IN AN ASSEMBLY" (v. 18), "of you COMING TOGETHER IN ONE PLACE" (v. 20), "do you despise THE CHURCH OF GOD" (v. 22) and "COMING TOGETHER in order to eat" (v. 33) (which is why all examples which you gave for instructions for 'group worship' come from AFTER 1 Corinthians 11:16). 4.

There is no mention of 'blurring gender lines' or 'role reversal', but the propriety of the practice due to the nature and purpose of the creation of mankind and because of the angels (v. 7-10). 5.

@@christianchristian8916 You have some good points, but because the bible doesn't say exactly why certain practices of the day were a certain way, doesn't mean Allen's points were wrong. I've heard other preachers say the same things. You seem to think you know when you weren't there. They have historical writings, you seem to think you know that can't be it. They did research, you don't even consider that. In honesty, I don't take you seriously, it's your opinion, not based on solid evidence. They have it, you don't. Learn to learn and let the Holy Spirit show you. It might surprise you, but not every word Jesus spoke is in the Bible, but the Holy Spirit can fill in all the missing pieces.

@@farealwitit7947 Honestly, everything that is NOT about living holy in Word and deed, is NOT a necessity for salvation. Letters were written to various churches, that concerned a problem they were having, giving them advice on how to handle it, because it was becoming a problem. I take historians' word for it on those matters, and if I'm not sure, because there is much contention on the subject, and it is an appearance thing, I don't think much on it. It has nothing to do with how I am to conduct my life. Some people are so sure, that they try to legalistically force a belief on all, that most likely only applies to a certain amount of people. I try to let the Holy Spirit lead. In praying, I feel no leading in the matter as far as doing it by one chapter in the bible, because the Holy Spirit isn't backing up what is said on the subject completely, in the sense of one must do it. Verse 16 says, "But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God." So, "Let everyone be persuaded in their own mind." You'll learn the spirit in a person does not always match the outward appearance, yet sometimes it does. Let God show you. The closer to Christ one gets, the more wisdom and truth they get from God.
@@michaelalbertson7457 Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, the error which it appears that you are making is that you put your trust and faith in the unknown "they" and the unknown "research" which they supposedly performed and use the unknown (or at least unmentioned) conclusions of unidentified men to overturn the revealed word of God, who should have your trust. For example, it's as if some random man who considers himself a scholar can say that he found one coin with a picture of a headcovering on it, conclude that that is the whole reason Paul gave the instruction, and people of your demonstrated inclination would just accept the conclusion because it was made by a 'so-called, scholar without doing what the Bible says: i.e, being like the Bereans and examining the claims based on the Words of God to see if the claims are true. I encourage you to regard the Word of God higher than to allow any and every explanation by a random human to be justification for dismissing the Word of God. Instead of just "trusting" that the 'supposed' evidence which the "scholars" base their conclusions on is trustworthy, and accepting their conclusions (especially when following their conclusions would result in your disobeying what seems to be the clear teaching of God through Scripture) perform due diligence and ask yourself: 1. Does the conclusion contradict the Word of God, as if it does, then it is wrong. 2. "What EXACT EVIDENCE have the scholars found?" 3. "Is the evidence which the scholars found sufficient to FULLY MAKE THE CASE for the conclusion that the scholars have arrived at, or have the scholars "jumped the gun" and made a conclusion that goes BEYOND THE CASE MADE BY THE EVIDENCE?" IN THE CASE OF HEAD COVERINGS SPECIFICALLY, CONSIDER: 1. Paul said to imitate him, just as he imitates Christ (v.1) 2. The instructions which Paul gave, and the argument of those sixteen verses, were NOT for headship, but for 'KEEPING / PRACTICING THE HEADCOVERING TRADITIONS' (with headship being offered as justification for why they should 'KEEP THE TRADITIONS') 2. Scripture says that PAUL gave the head covering traditions / teachings TO THEM and SCRIPTURE GIVES NO OTHER ORIGIN FOR THEM 3. Scripture does not seem to indicate that Paul obtained the tradition from either the Jews or the non-Jews (as the Old Testament Law to the Jews never stated that a woman needed to pray or prophesy with her head covered, the Law said that the male priests were SUPPOSED to cover their heads with turbans, while Rebecca, ages beforehand, covered her head when presenting herself to Isaac, she had her head UNCOVERED while riding behind Abraham’s servant and there was no mention of her praying or prophesying in the text and there seems to be no scriptural evidence to imply that the apostle Paul would have encouraged Christians to adopt existing pagan worship practices in regards to praying or prophesying). 4. And ultimately, realize that even IF you found irrefutable evidence, from OUTSIDE of the Bible, of the existence of some pre-existing, universally-held, cultural significance to head coverings in the first century, it would not be enough to make the case that Paul BASED the head covering instructions on that cultural significance, as in order to make that case, you would need Scriptural evidence that Paul’s headcovering instructions were actually BASED on that cultural significance AS OPPOSED to being independent of and in spite of the cultural significance (for example, it cannot be said that Paul’s instruction to consume bread and wine during The Lord’s Supper [1 Corinthians 11:17-] was because of the pagan nations’ having worship feasts just because of the existence of pagans having worship feasts at the time, as Paul said that he instructed the consuming of bread and wine during the Lord’s Supper memorial because Jesus said to do so and did so; likewise, it cannot be automatically determined that Paul gave head covering instructions based on a HYPOTHETICAL, 1st century, universally-held, cultural head covering significance simply by nature of such hypothetical significance existing, ESPECIALLY in light of the fact that Paul said that the instructions were due to man’s being the glory and image of God (v. 7), due to the angels (v.10), honoring Christ (v. 3, 4) honoring the man (v. 3, 5) and supported by the example of nature itself (v. 13-15).
The Word of God is always applicable, we should never contort it based on the shifting of cultures and/or times. 1 Cor 11:2 - keep the traditions just as they were delivered; alternatively, 1 Cor 11:15 says her hair is given to her for a covering, if it's long... If we're being honest with ourselves and walking in the spirit as we should we would see that long hair doesn't hold the same weight in the symbol of authority as actually covering the head while praying/prophesying in the presence of angels. The freedom we're given in Christ should never be to suit our needs or comforts, but to submit to authority as it is written. Shalom.
Dont know but i dont think the man or the woman will loose their salvation if the woman doesnt were a hat(or something that covers het head) in church. Im also pretty sure peter talked about other Christian practices like going to church.Also the whole reason he said that was based on the people of what they did that time ,same with the old testaments like we dont have to do offers anymore and that we are allowed to eat pork.
@@dude9318 I agree no salvation will be lost, according to Paul's explanation in 1 Cor 11. I will say that it can be the difference between humility of spirit and haughtiness of heart. Some women are convicted and choose to cover their head in meekness, some don't. We all have to submit to authority and if it's within our reach and reason we should go that length, like Jesus did for us. There's no gain in saying if I don't have to, I'm not going to. As far going to church, that is something we should do (Hebrews 10:24-25), even if it's simply gathering in your home for worship & prayer. I feel the church often confuses 'fulfilled' with 'done away with'; there's no judgment in eating pork if you're following Romans 14:1-12. I see the only difference between the old/new covenants is how we approach the throne of grace, the holy of holy's, is through Jesus Christ. TMH has already established what foods are clean and unclean, and he is not a God of confusion.
@@drappafrap Read the scripture again that was shared. 1 Corinthians 11:15 but if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her? For her hair is given to her for a covering. God gave women long hair as a head covering. The Scriptures do not lie. Women should not be cutting their hair because it does not glorify God, nor does it glorify her husband.
Re read those passages slowly, thoughtfully and reverently asking God to show you and you will see that the covering being talked about is not hair. Paul said if she doesn't want to cover her head let her shave it bald. If head cover is hair. And not covering meant not having hair. Then how can she be shaved baled and why is that a punishment if she already did it? Is Paul just writing gibberish and stating obvious facts or answering a question? Also does that mean ever man need to shave his head bald because we are praying with out head covered. Some of us with some lushis beautiful covering. Then those who really believe the scripture this was and are not using it as an excuse because they don't want to feel a sign of authority over them. Tell every man in church they need to shave their heads bald.
@@samanthalopez4874 hasidic women shave there head not as a sign for the angels. They don't accept the gospel, Paul wasn't writing a Jewish tradition but what God opened to him about what that sign means. The hasidic women don't want ANY of their hair to show as a point of modest.
That's a hard one, because there are women who literally can't grow long hair. It would be awful for them to be scorned, since it's already a sensitive issue (as in, some like my mom are losing their hair, and they are embarrassed already)

You state that practices may differ based on cultures or where you live, but Paul says that THE PRACTICE is to be performed DUE TO MAN BEING THE IMAGE AND GLORY OF GOD, WOMAN BEING THE GLORY OF MAN, WOMAN BEING MADE FOR MAN AND BECAUSE OF THE ANGELS, which means that IT IS NOT BASED ON CULTURE, BUT ON THE NATURE AND PURPOSE OF MANKIND'S CREATION AND THE EXISTENCE OF THE ANGELS (v. 7-10), and SINCE THOSE REASONS STILL EXIST, SO DOES THE EXPECTATION TO PERFORM THE PRACTICES. 3 NOTHING IN 1 CORINTHIANS 11:1-16 says that the instructions are for PUBLIC GROUP WORSHIP, as: a) Paul says "EVERY man" and "EVERY woman" without (even once) giving any indication as to venue b) verse 16 says that "if anyone is inclined to be contentious, we have no such practice, NOR DO THE CHURCHES OF GOD", implying that he was addressing all INDIVIDUAL BEHAVIOR (as opposed to saying 'neither do the OTHER churches of God [which WOULD HAVE indicated that he was solely addressing 'IN-CHURCH BEHAVIOR']) c) Paul doesn't start talking about behavior DURING PUBLIC WORSHIP UNTIL VERSE 17, when he gives instruction about 'The Lord's Supper' as he mentioned FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES, that he was ADDRESSING PUBLIC WORSHIP BY STATING: "For first indeed, of you COMING TOGETHER IN AN ASSEMBLY" (v. 18), "of you COMING TOGETHER IN ONE PLACE" (v. 20), "do you despise THE CHURCH OF GOD" (v. 22) and "COMING TOGETHER in order to eat" (v. 33) (which is why all examples which you gave for instructions for 'group worship' come from AFTER 1 Corinthians 11:16). 4. You said that in that culture, a woman with a covered head showed submissiveness to her husband, therefore a man who covers his head shows submission to someone else, is reversing roles and blurring gender lines; HOWEVER, THE SCRIPTURE DOESN'T SAY ANY OF THAT, or that the instructions were based on that. There is no mention of 'blurring gender lines' or 'role reversal', but the propriety of the practice due to the nature and purpose of the creation of mankind and because of the angels (v. 7-10). 5. You said that a woman who does not cover her head dishonored her husband, but THE BIBLE DOES NOT SAY THAT "HEAD" EXCLUSIVELY REFERS TO A "HUSBAND", BUT TO "MAN". JUST AS GOD IS THE HEAD OF CHRIST, BUT IS NOT CHRIST'S HUSBAND (BUT HIS FATHER), HEAD may refer to an authoritative man (possibly, whether living or dead) WHO IS NOT THE WOMAN'S HUSBAND. 6. You claim that in our culture women can shave their head and no stigma is attached, so it is O.K. for them to pray or prophecy uncovered, but, it only takes one generation to normalize a practice which is wicked (such as transgenderism in this generation) so normalization of a practice WHICH THE BIBLE SAYS IS SHAMEFUL (v. 5) is not a bar for holiness as gender lines started crossing a few decades ago [but even today, a woman can still see a natural shame in one's shaving her head bald]. Further, 1 Corinthians 11:1-16 state, several times, that the instructions are to be followed, for multiple reasons; but never said a woman does not have to follow the instructions if they do not find a shaven head to be shameful. 7. You said that many theologians believe that , in that culture, prostitutes had their heads shaved (though you stated that there is no solid proof for that) and said that the shaved head communicated immoral culture, rejecting femininity and that a woman praying with her head uncovered was demonstrating same level of rebellion as a prostitute HOWEVER, NOT ONLY DOES THE BIBLE NOT STATE ANY OF THAT, but, even IF temple prostitues shaved their heads, THE BIBLE DOES NOT SAY THAT THE HEAD COVERING INSTRUCTIONS ARE BASED ON THE PRACTICE OF TEMPLE PROSTITUTES (or, as an example: construction workers do not wear hats because America likes fashionable hats / there is no direct connection between the two), AND THESE SCRIPTURES DO NOT MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT SEXUAL IMMORALITY, BEING AVAILABLE TO OTHER MEN OR TAKING DOWN THE HAIR, SO you are IGNORING THE SCRIPTURAL REASONS for the practices (the nature and purpose of the creation of mankind and the existence of the angels) and NEGATING GOD'S SCRIPTURAL INSTRUCTIONS, based on REASONS THAT THE SCRIPTURE DOES NOT PROVIDE.
Simple question to ask ourselves. What does it take to cover our hair to express our love for God? I don’t think there is anything that anyone will lose if they cover hair. I feel it’s more of ego 😊 Instead of spending time in thinking about these cultural and traditional practices, our focus should be on building a strong and personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Let’s focus on what Jesus commanded - Love God and Love thy neighbour. And let people decide what they want to do with their own hair 😀 God bless all of you!! God bless you Allen !!

Cover hair to pray was something ask in the bible!!! Nowaday man wanna look and dress like woman and woman like man!! This is wat we need to be carefull about because the devil try to make people confuse and mix man with woman. We need to learn the words the old and the new testament to understand and To know how to live nowaday. The word was good before and is still good for today. Praise and ask God to have discernement and knowledge To understand HIS WORDS🙏🏽 BE BLESS GUYS
I wish that we made it more part of our religion to cover our heads I used to to cover my head with a scarf when I prayed I’ll start doing it again 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I was hearing the Bible today; I stumbled about head covering. I feel called to do so. First, I'm going to use it to pray and worship. Eventually, I'm going to wear it all day. God willing
This is exactly what I did. I am Christian and I initially was led to cover when I was younger. I am now in my late 30s but I was called to cover starting at around 15 or 16. I covered on and off. I became more consistent with it once I hit 30. I Now cover full time. It's all about personal conviction.
Wearing something on my head never has stopped me from feeling Gods presence nor has he has ever convicted me for not wearing one like he has on other things ...I still pray in Holy spirit & etc...That has nothing to do with my Salvation & relationship with Christ ...You all need to pray to God for answers on this topic cause sometimes we interpret the bible based on feelings & not by Holy spirit....Tradition & Religion has been a mindset instead of just seeking & listening for God ....Its a choice its not a Sin to not wear a head coverings nor is it a bad thing it’s just a choice maybe it was something from Old Covenant we are not required to do that ...My church is a powerful Supernatural spirit filled place & we Don’t wear head coverings at all unless we just want to ...God bless 💕✝️
Question? Why is it that you still believe that point#4 (1 Corinthians 11:3) is still applicable for today's culture, but verses 4-16 of the same book and chapter are subject to the interpretation of culture? I do not believe Paul minced his words when he said what he said. To conclude the matter which he was addressing, in verse 16 he said, "But if anyone seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor do the churches of God." Notice Paul does not say "nor do the saints at Corinth only". He does say the "churches of God" does not practice the CUSTOMS of the people he was addressing. What was the custom? Well, it is the shaving (balding) or shorning (cutting short) the woman's hair and the wearing of the covering (veil). I assume he was teaching the Corinthian church so that they could be uniform with the rest of the "churches of God" that seemed to not have a problem. And seeing that 'churches of God" were popping up all over at this time, I am sure they came across many different cultures and customs, but a woman's covering was probably not an issue b/c Paul did not address it in the letters he sent to them. Just to prove this point, there are many women who STILL cover their heads today...Jewish, Muslim, Christian - Catholic, Pentecostal, Amish, and Mennonite just to name a few. This practice has crossed cultural, color and customary lines. Why? Because Paul said so and he was the mouthpiece of God. It's just the modern day Christian church that has the practice of teaching what is relevant or comfortable for the present time and not realizing that we serve a God who has declared that He changes not. We have to be careful to pick and choose what part of the bible or scriptures we choose to believe is relevant for today. The bible is not the Constitution of the US. It is God's HOLY WORD!! We cannot choose to amend his word because it does not make sense today or is not PC. "Do not add to or subtract from these commands I am giving you. Just obey the commands of the LORD your God that I am giving you." Deut. 4:2 NLT. If we still obey the commandments OT then we should still obey the commandments of NT!!
I wear a full headcovering anytime I'm in public or church when I studied the word it was laid on my hear to do so in submission to God ,so I fully knew I was making a conscious decision to do so I be live it is right and wise for women to do so and I've never regretted my decision. I wore church hats as a child anyway
Wearing a head covering is a choice not mandated by God...A piece of cloth has nothing to do with SALVATION I still feel his presence without one nor has he convicted me of not wearing one ...Certain cultures practice this ...Ask Holy spirit to guide you ..God bless 💕
@Chrinillan Jc I’m not Orthodox I just simply follow Jesus & have a relationship with him ..My power and weapon is Jesus & praying in tongues not a piece of cloth 🤷🏾♀️ God never revealed that I need a head covering ...I don’t follow a religious way of thinking that may have been at one time in the bible , but it’s not required to pray- I pray without a head covering & still feel Holy spirit a piece of cloth on my head has nothing to do with my Salvation, my relationship with Christ, saving Souls , nor getting into Heaven -I follow the Holy spirit , that may pertain to some individuals & if he says that I need to I will but otherwise I follow him & he hasn’t revealed that to me ...Some things are just religion and religious spirits that are dangerous in churches these days & doesn’t specifically come from Christ sometimes we interpret things our own way ...God Bless 🙏🏾
@Chrinillan Jc I’m not in trap of anything- I said I move by Holy spirit ...if someone feels they are led to cover their head go head then they should but I’m not -I’m not against anyone who does but is it mandatory , No!
It is biblical and tied directly to creation. As we know, all things tied to creation is still in effect. My wife thinks differently than me, but at least we can talk about it.
Creation argument, culture argument and nature argument are the building blocks of the apostle Paul to build his main theme, i.e. Headship, to solve the problem of contentious wives. These are the already accepted beliefs of Corinthians (regardless if they are objective/timeless truths or not... That is not the issue being addressed by Paul). Nothing in the epistle explicitly or implicitly mention that headcovering in itself is a commandment, and non observance of it will lose your salvation.
@@wisdomdesignedlife Well I am bound by the nature argument if it is truly nature.. But what is the nature argument. What nature argument are you referring to? You got to slow it down for the old folks
@@whatshatnin4572 Sorry about that. Here's the detail... The main principle for the whole pericope (1Cor11:2-16) is HEADSHIP. Particularly the HUSBAND is the head of the WIFE. It is to solve the problem in Corinth, there are contentious wives (verse 16 and succeeding chapters) that possibly offends Jews, Gentiles and other churches of God (Chapter 10:32). Head coverings, order of creation and long/short hair are just supporting arguments to solidify the main principle Paul is preaching. These are arguments from ALREADY ACCEPTED BELIEFS by Corinthians (regardless if they are subjective/objective truth) i.e. argument from CULTURE (headcovering), CREATION (Adam and Eve) and NATURE (Long/short hair as glory/shame). It is NOT a problem in Corinth that there are women who do not cover their head, or do not believe in the order of creation, or that there are women that cut their hair short... they BELIEVE THESE ALREADY,.... reason why Paul used these already accepted belief to strengthen his argument that the husband is the head of the wife... in order to solve the REAL PROBLEM in corinth... i.e. contentious women that causes others to be offended. In any case, the overriding principle is LOVE for your fellowmen, not to offend them so they can be saved (Chapter 10:33) Paul's intention is NOT to require wearing of headcovering or long hair PER SE for all time, for all culture... But for all Christians for all time and culture to imitate him in observing the absolute truth of love or AGAPE (1Cor11:1), i.e. not to put a stumbling block to anyone towards worshiping God (1Cor10:32). And it is offensive to see contentious women in the church... Why? Because the husband (whose head is Christ) is the head of the wife. There are Corinthians who do not know or do not observe this PRINCIPLE (verse 3 starts with a reprimand "BUT I would have you know... ") The three supporting arguments of Paul to build his main theme of headship, are merely symbols (NOT commandments on their own). Symbols with meanings (tied in their culture) that are COINCIDENTLY perfect to be used to illustrate TO THE CORINTHIANS why the husband should not be headed by the wife, and why the wife should be headed by the husband. If things were different, for example, the problem of contentious wives happened here in the Philippines, Paul would have used different symbols/arguments to show what the God ordained headship in marriage looks like. Paul might have used that it is shameful for men to wear skirt (as it symbolizes a husband is being headed by his wife), this is the MEANING of this symbol in my country (at least more so in the 60's 70's). Again, the problem is not about the non-observance of these symbols (headcovering, long hair) or non belief of the creation narrative. The problem is the non observance of some wives on the God ordained PRINCIPLE of headship that causes or might cause a stumbling block for others (Jews, Gentiles and churches of God). This is a very convuluted passage on the point of view of someone living in 2021 with a very different cultural mindset. So historical, social, cultural, Biblical context is very important in order to have a coherent understanding of the Scripture. I do not want to go in details about literal circumcision and other legalistic rituals that emphasizes on the outward appearance instead of the what is really important for God... THE INNER MAN. Something to think about. Hope this helps. May God give us all the wisdom to discern His words.
Look up Tertullian's 'on the veiling of virgins'. He lived c. 155-240, so fairly close to the writing of the NT. He says that the head covering is not cultural and is for all women in the Church. I disagree with him on his reasoning regarding the angels, but his other points are excellent. He says that up to the point of his writing, all women in Corinth were wearing a head covering. So unless people want to say he was lying, his writing on the issue should be taken seriously. People also fail to mention as part of the cultural argument that men acting as priests in pagan worship wore headcoverings (Ceasar covered his head with his toga). Neither do they mention that Jewish men began wearing the kippah (the little round cap) in response to Christianity to distinguish themselves. Or that other cultures have men that wear a turban. Nor that there are many statues of imperial married women with no head covering. None of these things are addressed. They take a very simplistic approach and only deal with one set of data. They close their eyes to the fact that Paul was writing to a multicultural city that had a sea port that saw people from all over who dressed and acted different. Paul doesn't appeal to culture, he appeals to creation and says this is how it is in ALL the churches regardless of cultural norms.
Sir, very good! As you can see from the comments, this is still a very controversial, hot-button topic. You did a great job in your presentation. Methinks another video on this topic is "demanded", assessing the comments here. So, I welcome a "deeper dig", please. Thank you very much
I loved reading all of the comments from women of God who aren't ashamed or insecure to wear a head covering or a sign of authority over them. Allen made an excellent point when he said that authority does not mean inferiority. We are all, men and women, under the authority of Christ. As believers, we are to do all things decently and in order. I have nothing but the utmost respect for any woman who does not try to challenge the God given role of a man/husband. It is something that softens a man's heart towards woman to see her allow the man to lead, and by the grace of God he is leading his wife and children, himself submitting and being lead by the Holy Spirit demonstrating love to his family.
My wife is wearing head coverings all the time, almost. The Word is clear. God is not a God of confusion, but peace. And is nice when you can spot a Godly women in the crowd. You know that women is your sister in Christ. Disagreements came from our stubbornness to do God’s will. The Word is clear, but we tend to look for excuses to do what we think is better for us. God bless you all
This brother Allen Parr is wrong and doesn’t even understand or know the origins of the head covering. The head covering symbolises the covenant and authority of husband over the woman. It’s a covenant that was made to the seed of Abraham in Genesis 17. The list of verses will clearly make you understand what message God is trying to covey about his covenant and commandments, he said those who love him will keep his commandments in John 14:15. If Adam hadn’t eaten the fruit, God would forgave her because Adam was her head and as long as she had her covering (Adam) nothing would have happened. But because Adam disobeyed his head Christ and Eve disobey her head Adam, God had to punish them and death came to us. Then there is the trinity he keeps lying about, there’s no such thing as a trinity and the bible does not teach that. There God there’s the Father and the Son. HEAD COVERING 1 Corinthians 11: 1-10 1 Timothy 2: 10-14 Numbers 30: 1-8 especially verse 5-8 Numbers 5: 12-14, 18 Ecclesiastes 5: 2-6 Genesis 24: 65 as soon as Rebekah saw Isaac she covered her head. The head covering symbolises hierarchy of authority. If a man makes a vow unto the Lord he has to fulfill it. But if a woman does, the husband has the authority to make that vow null and void because her head is her husband and God will forgive it, Numbers 30: 1-8. Paul’s teaching he was always referencing the Old Testament and teachings of Moses, when he went to the Corinthians, Ephesians & Galatians. The talked about the covenant of Abraham, the Ten Commandments, the dietary law, God’s feasts, his statutes and all. Even Jesus would teach from the Old Testament he referenced Prophet Daniel, Law given to Moses so you need to read the whole book in its fullness. I’m currently reading my Bible in yearly cycles reading both the Old and New Testament at the same time. I’m on Joshua about to finish it. Let’s begin When Rebekah asked Isaac’s servant who he was as soon as she was told it was his Master, she put her head covering Genesis 24:65. That was her respecting the word of God and the covenant since she is also part of the seed of Abraham. Moses was the one who wrote Genesis up to Deuteronomy having been also a seed of Abraham he did everything that was instructed Abraham in Genesis 17 even Jesus Christ did also because he is the seed of Abraham. Only the seed of Abraham and the gentiles purchased by the blood of Jesus Christ that obeyed God’s commandments will inherit the kingdom of earth for eternity, it’s in Galatians 3 verse 15-29. Verse 29 says: 29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. There is circumcision of the foreskin, and the heart (human mind) Jesus is the seed of Abraham, he also was circumcised eight days after birth. Notice Genesis 17: 12-14 even the strangers that were bought by Abraham had to be circumcised. Then you have Galatians 3: 13-29, that clearly explains what the seed of Abraham has to do and Jesus being the seed of Abraham he purchased Gentiles with his blood & verse 17 clearly clarifies that the covenant God made about the head covering, commandments, circumcision, feasts of the Lord, dietary law is still in full effect to this day and cannot be disannualed. The head covering has nothing to do with sexuality it’s a covenant women are supposed to follow failure to do so they will get cut off once resurrection comes into the Lake of fire. For a woman it is a symbol of authority and submissiveness to their husbands as well as respecting the covenant of God who gave the authority to the husband over his wife. It’s plain simple. Women preaching in church without head covering and lying about the spirit of the Lord being upon them, God will deal with them. This is what he said to those who didn’t obey his words and did what everyone else did. Matthew 7: 21-23 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. All I can say is read your Bible 📖 people. Shalom.
@@jarinxcii263 Sorry, sir. The blood of Jesus purchased my salvation. A woman cutting her hair does not put her in danger of hell fire. That's absurd, and there is NO Scripture that teaches that 🤦🏽♀️
I grew up Lutheran, and I can remember my mom wearing a hat to church. It was basically a smaller piece that was more decorative than functional. Hats are cool. And, there is a gal at my church that likes to wear hats, I'm pretty sure it's a fashion statement with her and not anything religious. She sure is cute in those hats, though! A different one every Sunday.
Is it displeasing to Jehovah if as a Christian single woman I don’t cover my head to pray? I don’t believe that not doing so will separate me from Jehovah! Thank you Jesus for the assurance that you will not leave me not forsake me. 🙏🏾
Amen Jacque. You are absolutely right. I am saddened at how many people want others to believe that we are under some sort of rule, which I believe is the enemy in trying to bring us to bondage.
It can be argued that the confusion about women having to wear a veil or something similar could be attributed to the Bible version one is using. For example some translations add the words “…a symbol…” while others do not. Also some use the word “wife” instead of “woman” or “husband” instead of “man.” Whereas other versions like the King James Version never uses the words “wife” or “husband.” For some the chapter supposedly refers only to married couples and still others believe it refers to men and women in general. In addition it delves into the creation order (See verses 8 and 9). A misunderstanding in just a few words can throw off the entire meaning of the chapter. Therefore, it’s best to use only the King James Version in this matter, which seems to be simpler and more concise. * Where the problem usually begins… If we follow those who subscribe to the doctrine of women wearing veils then it can be argued that the most often cited verse in this teaching is 1st Corinth. 11:5, which states: “But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.” According to those who believe women ought to wear veils this verse implies that a woman’s uncovered head is someone who does not wear a veil, is wrong for not doing so and assumes that such a person already has long hair. Therefore, the conclusion is that it must be referring to an “additional” covering. Another conclusion is that if a woman ought to be covered ONLY when praying and prophesying then it would seem as though it is something that can be taken on or off like a veil. But one should keep in mind that the word “veil” is not actually mentioned here neither anything that IMPLICITLY states that the covering is something can be placed on or taken off. Here’s something to consider: imagine a woman with long flowing hair praying and prophesying without a veil. Would the lack of a veil really equate to someone as if they were shaven? Why would anyone come to this conclusion? It would seem a bit odd that a woman with long hair who is not wearing a veil should somehow be equated to being shaved. This is most certainly an odd thought pattern if we accept the veil interpretation. But it does fit the narrative of those who understand the word “uncovered” to mean “not covered in long hair” or simply put, “short hair.” Looking at a woman with short hair one can easily say that she might as well be shaven. So be honest, doesn’t it make more sense that if a woman is uncovered (meaning has short hair) would be more closely relatable to being shaven than someone with long hair “without” a veil to be equated to being shaved? To put it in another way it is not a big leap to make the correlation between short hair to being shaven, unlike being asked to make a GIGANTIC LEAP OF LOGIC that an unveiled woman (even with long flowing hair) is somehow equated to being shaved. * Is the Covering Long Hair or a Veil? ….. If we examine all the verses from verse 4 to 15 without bias we should at least conclude that the passages have something to do with the physical heads of both men and women. The question we should ask is: Are they referring to hair that covers the head or some kind of veil? Some will even say both, but if we carefully examine verse 15 it would seem that we would be getting a clearer picture of what was being referred to in the earlier verses when it mentions the words, “covered,” “cover” and uncovered." “But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her FOR a covering." If the covering is long hair then to be “covered” which is synonymous to “covering,” should be understood as long hair as well. Then it makes sense when it says that it is shameful or dishonorable for a man to pray or prophesy with his head “covered” because they are referring to long hair. Now logically speaking wouldn’t being “uncovered” or “not covered” then mean short hair? Therefore, if to be covered refers to “long hair” then the opposite should be true, in that to be “uncovered” should be understood as having “short” hair. * You Should Naturally Know Right From Wrong by Just Looking…. If these verses do not move you yet then here’s one that should definitely blow your mind. Paul asks you to make a judgment call in verse 13 as if one should naturally see a problem because he asks you to: "Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?" If “covering” really meant a veil then one would have to explain why anyone would possibly come up with judgment that a woman praying or prophesying WITHOUT A FABRIC VEIL ON THEIR HEAD WOULD LOGICALLY OR NATURALLY LOOK WRONG? Someone needs to explain this logically. Be honest, does looking at someone doing this naturally create a thought that a veil is missing? I have never seen or heard anyone say: "What a shame she is not wearing a veil on her head” after looking at a woman with long hair while praying or prophesying, that would be ludicrous. There is no NATURAL or NORMAL reasoning to make such a judgment. But if the word “uncovered” were to mean "short hair." then it would make logical sense. Because if I see a woman who has a manly haircut doing these holy things like we read in verse 5, then I can naturally judge that something doesn’t look right. Also, the very next verse continues this line of thinking that things should be obvious to understand by mere observation in nature. "Doth not even NATURE itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him." 1st Corinthians 11:14 Note that verses 13 and 14 are two consecutive questions both of which asks you to NATURALLY ASSUME that there something wrong by SEEING a woman’s head to be uncovered (meaning having short hair) and a man having long hair (meaning being covered). I would like to also add that it is NOT jumping from a “veil” in 13 and then suddenly to “hair” in 14 like some would like to suggest, because you will note that verse 15 refers back again to the woman which FLAT OUT STATES the “covering” to mean “long hair.” Therefore there is NO EXCUSE to not understand the previous verses. By this simple understanding we can then understand the part where it states that it is shameful or dishonoring for a man to pray or prophesy with his head covered, meaning covered in long hair, like in verses 4:
“Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.” This “dishonoring” of the head fits perfectly with verse 14 where it mentions that it is “shameful“ for a man to have long hair, therefore the topic is the same throughout the verses in that the head covered in this verse refers to “long hair. ” I should also add that these verses in NO WAY imply that the covering on the man can be placed on or taken off, like some like to argue. It’s SIMPLY SAYING that it is a dishonor if a man prays or prophesies in LONG HAIR. The same should be understood in verse 7: “For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.” Again, they are NOT implying something that can be put on or taken off but that the man should not cover his head (with long hair) and the reason because he is the image and glory of God. This same idea should be included in the verses that refer to women like in verse 6: “For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.” This verse is often misinterpreted like verse 5 when it’s simply mentioning in the same tone as the previous verse that if a woman has short hair then let her head be shaved BUT if it is a shame to be shaven let her be covered in long hair. It’s really not complicated once you understand what it means to be covered or uncovered. Everything else starts to make sense when you read the other verses knowing that they are referring to hair. I can only imagine how lost one must be when they are stuck on one or two verses that to them seems questionable but not take into consideration all the other verses that point to the “covering” as long hair and “uncovered” to mean short hair. Therefore, given all this logic and proof, how can one conclude that they are referring to a hat, bonnet or veil? Again, how can one have logical judgments or conclusions that by merely looking at a long-haired woman performing such holy acts without a veil that one would automatically assume that there is something off? It makes no logical sense. Therefore, the whole veil doctrine is wrong, it cannot be substantiated and should be rejected.
Basically every woman who was in the transition period between the wearing of a covering and not wearing it was not doing God's will. But the ones before, who did wear it and the ones after, who did not, they all have done God's will. But when does the transition start? Is it with the first woman who refused to wear it? Or is it when a certain number is reached? And what is that number? See? If it's written black on white, then it's required, it's not culturally.
Thank you for this video, my wife and I have been looking at this passage a lot this past week and trying to understand it. But I did have one question, how does culture fit into verse 10 of this passage? "That is why a wife ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels."-ESV This seems to imply it is more than cultural.
The issue was should women pray or prophesy with thier hair uncovered, you forgot to mention the part about the angels! What does that mean, I feel led to pray with my head covered.
Wearing something on my head NEVER has stopped me from feeling Gods presence nor has he has ever convicted me for not wearing one like he has on other things ...I still pray in Holy spirit & etc...That has nothing to do with my Salvation & relationship with Christ ...You all need to pray to God for answers on this topic cause sometimes we interpret the bible based on feelings & not by Holy spirit....Tradition & Religion has been a mindset instead of just seeking & listening for God ....Thats you alls choice its not a Sin to not wear a head coverings nor is it a bad thing it’s just a choice maybe it was something from Old Covenant we are not required to do that ...My church is a powerful Supernatural spirit filled place & we Don’t wear head coverings at all unless we just want to ...God bless 💕✝️
14 Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, 15 but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering. The long hair is given to the woman as a covering
This was good & right on time! It has been about a month since I've wearing a head covering. I read, studied and prayed for years about this. I'm know convinced I should wear one. A few points I have. As a single woman, my first husband is Christ. So I honor Him through covering my head. Also, the Bible says woman ought to cover their head while praying and prophesies. We should pray always without ceasing. 1 Thessalonians 5: 17 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. Proverbs 31:30 For me the reason I still have a desire not to wear a head covering is because I think I would look better without it. I have to create a outfit that looks nice with my head covering. The Holy Spirit helped my finalized decision with ,"Nevertheless, each person should live as a believer in whatever situation the Lord has assigned to them, just as God has called them. This is the rule I lay down in all the churches." 1 Corinthians 7:17 NIV
A head covering is not a requirement. A woman's hair is her covering. At the end of his advice on what they asked about, Paul said if anyone wants to argue about it, that they have no such tradition. 1 Corinthians 11:15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering. 11:16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
@@vonzilla2082 Thank you. Since I wrote this comment I read and studied more to see if I was misinterpreting what was written. And I think probably was.
I love love love being submissive to God's ordinances and love-filled commands He has spoken to us through His Word. I'm thankful, so much, to God, for His Truths and His Holy Spirit leading me in all the Way. I can only imagine seeing Him face to face one day, and thanking Him in person. Hallelujah* God bless everyone. P.s. I do cover my head from morning to bedtime. I am sure that God has spoken to us for all generations till He comes. I believe I cover BECAUSE of the ANGELS as God has said clearly. Prayers and Prophecies are coming to us via heaven and, including God's Holy Spirit, and if my "head" is covered, it is showing the authority that I have been given in Christ, it is a sign of authority to the angels. Men already have Christ as their Head. Women only have man as their head. BUT CHRIST is over all, in all and through all in the Body of Christ's. So I cover "man's" head to HONOR CHRIST as my head. Jesus Christ Is The Head Of The Church. Everyone must honor Him as such. This offended some men and therefore Paul addresses that issue especially making sure men understand at his closing on the subject. Because I have been given authority by God to pray and prophecy, and because this authority does not come from my husband or from any man therefore I must cover man's head in order to honor God and Jesus Christ, my Lord. But man does not have to cover his head because he already is honoring Christ since Christ is his head. Because the man stands between the woman and Christ she must cover her head which is covering the man so that she can bring glory to Jesus Christ and the honor showing that he is the Head of the whole body, in the church before the angels. To honor Christ is our highest calling, and no man should ever try to take that honor and glory to himself. Shame on him if he does. God bless everyone and give to you wisdom from Heaven.

Such an American way to address a straightforward passage by Paul. No other teaching is dismissed because it was just a custom or apart of the culture at that time. If stalwarts of the faith down through the years such as Augustine, Martin Luther, John Calvin, Charles Spurgeon, Martin Lloyd-Jones and RC Sproul all held to the teaching of head coverings that should be a sign that the church has gone off course. Up through the 1800s most commentaries supported head covering and most churches in America practiced head covering up until the feminism movement. Meanwhile other eastern religions and countries that were not effected by the feminism movement still cover their heads.
I have been having a "pull" from the lord leading me to stop cutting my hair and putting chemicals on it and i would like to start covering my head.... So i came on here to see how people have interpreted the scripture... I keep getting pulled to do so. So ill pray on it and meditate more and see where he wants me to go
HIS POINTS DO NOT SEEM TO MATCH WHAT THE SCRIPTURE SAYS. HERE IS THE REPLY I GAVE HIM: YOU MADE MANY INCORRECT POINTS: 1. You ask if it is the PRINCIPLE or the PRACTICE, which is important, but in 1 Corinthians 11:2, Paul praises the Corinthians for "HOLD [ING] FIRMLY to the traditions, JUST AS [HE] HANDED THEM DOWN TO [THEM]" (communicating that the actual PRACTICE is important}. 2. You state that practices may differ based on cultures or where you live, but Paul says that THE PRACTICE is to be performed DUE TO MAN BEING THE IMAGE AND GLORY OF GOD, WOMAN BEING THE GLORY OF MAN, WOMAN BEING MADE FOR MAN AND BECAUSE OF THE ANGELS, which means that IT IS NOT BASED ON CULTURE, BUT ON THE NATURE AND PURPOSE OF MANKIND'S CREATION AND THE EXISTENCE OF THE ANGELS (v. 7-10), and SINCE THOSE REASONS STILL EXIST, SO DOES THE EXPECTATION TO PERFORM THE PRACTICES. 3 NOTHING IN 1 CORINTHIANS 11:1-16 says that the instructions are for PUBLIC GROUP WORSHIP, as: a) Paul says "EVERY man" and "EVERY woman" without (even once) giving any indication as to venue b) verse 16 says that "if anyone is inclined to be contentious, we have no such practice, NOR DO THE CHURCHES OF GOD", implying that he was addressing all INDIVIDUAL BEHAVIOR (as opposed to saying 'neither do the OTHER churches of God [which WOULD HAVE indicated that he was solely addressing 'IN-CHURCH BEHAVIOR']) c) Paul doesn't start talking about behavior DURING PUBLIC WORSHIP UNTIL VERSE 17, when he gives instruction about 'The Lord's Supper' as he mentioned FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES, that he was ADDRESSING PUBLIC WORSHIP BY STATING: "For first indeed, of you COMING TOGETHER IN AN ASSEMBLY" (v. 18), "of you COMING TOGETHER IN ONE PLACE" (v. 20), "do you despise THE CHURCH OF GOD" (v. 22) and "COMING TOGETHER in order to eat" (v. 33) (which is why all examples which you gave for instructions for 'group worship' come from AFTER 1 Corinthians 11:16). 4. You said that in that culture, a woman with a covered head showed submissiveness to her husband, therefore a man who covers his head shows submission to someone else, is reversing roles and blurring gender lines; HOWEVER, THE SCRIPTURE DOESN'T SAY ANY OF THAT, or that the instructions were based on that. There is no mention of 'blurring gender lines' or 'role reversal', but the propriety of the practice due to the nature and purpose of the creation of mankind and because of the angels (v. 7-10). 5. You said that a woman who does not cover her head dishonored her husband, but THE BIBLE DOES NOT SAY THAT "HEAD" EXCLUSIVELY REFERS TO A "HUSBAND", BUT TO "MAN". JUST AS GOD IS THE HEAD OF CHRIST, BUT IS NOT CHRIST'S HUSBAND (BUT HIS FATHER), HEAD may refer to an authoritative man (possibly, whether living or dead) WHO IS NOT THE WOMAN'S HUSBAND. 6. You claim that in our culture women can shave their head and no stigma is attached, so it is O.K. for them to pray or prophecy uncovered, but, it only takes one generation to normalize a practice which is wicked (such as transgenderism in this generation) so normalization of a practice WHICH THE BIBLE SAYS IS SHAMEFUL (v. 5) is not a bar for holiness as gender lines started crossing a few decades ago [but even today, a woman can still see a natural shame in one's shaving her head bald]. Further, 1 Corinthians 11:1-16 state, several times, that the instructions are to be followed, for multiple reasons; but never said a woman does not have to follow the instructions if they do not find a shaven head to be shameful. 7. You said that many theologians believe that , in that culture, prostitutes had their heads shaved (though you stated that there is no solid proof for that) and said that the shaved head communicated immoral culture, rejecting femininity and that a woman praying with her head uncovered was demonstrating same level of rebellion as a prostitute HOWEVER, NOT ONLY DOES THE BIBLE NOT STATE ANY OF THAT, but, even IF temple prostitutes shaved their heads, THE BIBLE DOES NOT SAY THAT THE HEAD COVERING INSTRUCTIONS ARE BASED ON THE PRACTICE OF TEMPLE PROSTITUTES (or, as an example: construction workers do not wear hats because America likes fashionable hats / there is no direct connection between the two), AND THESE SCRIPTURES DO NOT MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT SEXUAL IMMORALITY, BEING AVAILABLE TO OTHER MEN OR TAKING DOWN THE HAIR, SO you are IGNORING THE SCRIPTURAL REASONS for the practices (the nature and purpose of the creation of mankind and the existence of the angels) and NEGATING GOD'S SCRIPTURAL INSTRUCTIONS, based on REASONS THAT THE SCRIPTURE DOES NOT PROVIDE.
I think it’s a beautiful sign of respect to Gods Headship in our lives. And helps us to remember where we stand in his arrangement as women. It’s something I’m going to incorporate into my life. Because I want to show God that I love his arrangement! ❤
...because the hair instead of a covering hath been given to her... In your own selves judge ye; is it seemly for a woman uncovered to pray to God? doth not even nature itself teach you, that if a man indeed have long hair, a dishonour it is to him? and a woman, if she have long hair, a glory it is to her, because the hair instead of a covering hath been given to her;... -Young's Literal Translation (YLT) Does even nature itself not teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him, but if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her?

@@SharlenesJourney Mary couldn't have done what she did if she was wearing a full-on complete head covering. There was no law in the Old Covenant. Jesus never taught about it. If this is being done for spiritual reasons, as for praying, my opinion based on scripture, is that you stop. *********************************************** As I've posted to others in the past: If a woman needs to touch and pick up something physical, before acceptable communication with deity can happen, that would make the fabric covering a talisman. Though the woman would not believe she is using a talisman. talisman (basic definition)- a piece of clothing (or other physical object) that is believed to have spiritual (or magical) properties. The object will align with your intention for its use. Every time you look at a talisman, your mind will recall the original intention of its use, until wearing it becomes a necessary ritual. ************************************************* “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. You gave me no kiss, but from the time I came in she has not ceased to kiss my feet. You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment. Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven-for she loved much. -excerpt Luke 7
It’s really a choice or preference with certain traditions ...I know the Spirit of God dwells at my church home & we DO NOT wear head coverings I hear this so often - it’s not a Sin has nothing to do with a relationship with Christ I still feel his presence w/o head covering but if you want to nothings wrong with it but not a requirement doesn’t hinder a relationship with Christ nor does it have anything to do with your Salvation 🙌🏾✝️

There are certain movements that are teaching that women are still required to wear head coverings. But, what does the Bible say about this and how should we apply it to our current context? Let's talk about it!
Should we give each other the Holy Kiss aswell?
My prayer scarves (head coverings) have been a welcomed addition to my wardrobe and most importantly my walk with our Lord. 💗 To wear one has been a constant reminder and comfort for me in being prayerful continuously. It also feels like my God-given beauty is protected from the pervasive eyes of immorally minded men. I would encourage everyone considering this to pray for the Holy Spirit to guide and teach you in this decision for deeper purpose. God bless🕊
@@worf792 lol 😂😂😂 holy kiss!?
This is something worthy of discussion😇
I think you’re missing an awful lot of Old Testament in this teaching. Trying to teach this from NT only is.....dishonest
I do cover my head when I pray. I had never thought of doing it until God laid it in my heart to do so in 2017. Till today I cover my head when i pray and when I'm in church. But I don't judge people who dont.
That is very interesting. Thank you for sharing
Continue being obedient to God. Allen has been corrupting the word of the bible for a long time now. The same God of yesterday is the God of today. Allen also has been lying to many that once saved we are always saved. Read revelarion 2 and 3 of the letters to all 7 churches. Becareful following him
@@Scriptures-say you can disagree with him , but to say he is corrupting the Bible is wrong.
@R K: Under grace period which is now, we are OSAS. After Rapture when the Jews are being plugged back to the vine then faith + works will apply.
OT = works to be saved
Grace = faith only
Tribulation = faith + works.
Rightly dividing the Word.
Hi Allen. I do not wear headcoverings as I have thought it was specific to the time frame. But, I will say...I have wondered about this several times over the last 30 years
Okay that's weird. Just yesterday as I was reading Corinthians, i was wondering about that. And here's the video...
God bless you, Allen!
Well, I would say the reason you thought of it is because God was speaking to you, but shh🤫we're not supposed to say that around Allen.
@@Bhekizulu_Magagula Haha, good one.😂 Yeah maybe He did.🤷🏻♂️
Micah, I have a video on why I chose to headcover if you'd like to watch it.
@@Bhekizulu_Magagula why can’t we say that around Allen please? I’m confused
@@obaapamoses6632 oh, because brother Allen believes that God only speaks through the Bible, and that if you say "God told me", you are trying to make yourself look like a prophet. Go into His channel. You'll find him talking to a woman named Melissa about this. He also talks to Jon McCray, and he does a video bashing people who prophesied that Trump would win. For some reason, he is against the idea of Christians having direct communication with God today, even though we live with Holly Spirit and He is always speaking. Even with the Trump thing, I wouldn't be too quick to call the prophets who said he would serve twice "false", because Samuel said to Saul "this day, you are no longer king of Israel", but Saul went on to rule for 15 more years. Does that mean Samuel was a false prophet? No. In the spiritual realm Saul was done that day. So I just say we wait it out even with the Trump thing, and not be too quick to call people false prophets.
I wasn't even a Christian when God spoke to my heart and told me to cover my head and become a Biblical woman. It was an unmistakable stirring in my heart. God knew I needed modesty to help free me from the ways I was in the world's bondage. I don't judge others who do not cover their heads because I know that God will speak into their hearts what is needed for their walk with him.
Amen, I strongly agree
agree!
💯 agree. None of us are in the same exact walk with God. Whereas He may tell one woman she should wear dresses, grow her hair or wear a bandana as a hair covering He may be working on another to dress more modestly, for her, or stop wearing fake eyelashes and heavy make up. Christians need to remember you have to learn to walk before you can run and we are all in different spiritual/physical conditions.
Amen, I too had a similar experience with the Lord reaching me when I was agnostic and teaching me modesty. I would cover my head when I was alone at home at first, and now being a Christian it became very clear as to why. God bless :)
Omg Amen I feel you ! Same here when ever I cover my head I feel so much more at peace and I don’t care what anyone thinks no more I’m tired I also feel closer to God as well and more calmer
I feel like I am wearing a crown
To be honest, I get more respect when I go out in public. Men hold doors, people allow me to go first, I get smiles more often.

I plan to wear a covering whenever I attend church :) I feel lead by the Holy Spirit to that and I believe others should allow Holy Spirit to lead them in their decisions.
@Maria Smith No ma'am. I am American... However, My Husband is Nigerian and I seen a lot of women wear coverings at our African church; Some women, not all women. That is where I first learned about coverings and I felt like Holy Spirit was calling me to wear it, especially in church.
North America is very different from Africa. In America, we are not really forced to dress a certain way, even for church.
@Maria Smith that’s the covenant of God. If you read Genesis 17 in relation to Galatian 3: 15-29 you will understand why the head covering is important. That’s you obeying God’s authority and your husband or father’s authority. Failure to do so. Matthew 7: 21-23 that will be you in Revelations 20 waiting for the lake of fire 🔥 it’s that plain simple. Be glad you got saved from being cut off. The seed of Abraham will obey and do everything God told him. Jesus did the same and even Rebekah in Genesis 24: 65 as soon as she saw her husband she covered her head immediately. Read the bible my sister and stop being stuck up with the wrong things a lot of women keep doing in front of their husbands and walking in sin day in and day out. The lake of fire is waiting for them. You heard what Jesus said I never knew you cos you lived in sin, that’s again Matthew 7: 21-23. Work your salvation with fear and trembling that’s Philippians 2:12. Even David said I’ve kept your word inside my heart so that I might not sin against thee Psalm 119:11. Be warned
Bless you
Out of no where I had this strong urge to wear a veil or head covering of some kind. I didn’t even know Christians wear this. No one ever wore them at my church, expect some elderly women but I didn’t know that’s what it was. One day I just felt the need to do research and now I wear them when I pray, on Sunday’s all day, and when I’m in church or watching church. It feels so amazing!
@@springlady8337 Yes, it does feel amazing!
I literally just prayed to God for clarity on this last night!!
And then you got deceived by this false preaching????????? You should check out your relationship with God once again. Who would you rather listen to????? Paul who was filled with the Holy Spirit, or this new age end time preacher??? A generation that is ready for the purge!????
I pray that our Godly woman will be led by the Holy Spirit ❤
Hi I believe Alan is beating around the bush it is quite clear the Apostle Paul is teaching that women should cover their heads while praying be obedient to God's word you got your answer
Hello Samantha. Please do not just trust the man in the video who speaks many of his thoughts about things Paul said nothing about when he (Paul) explained this topic to the Corinthians and us. It is best to read the Bible and not go with what someone is trying to tell you in a video. I speak from the Bible, not from my own thoughts. I have studied the Bible for many years. I find no contradictions as many preachers speak. Reading these passages by Paul, It is very easy to understand, (if someone is not simply wanting to make a reason why they don't have to do something). Please realize, when Paul talks about a woman's hair and her head being covered. The head covering when she prays or prophesies is not her hair and it is not about gender identification. Nor does it have anything to do with temple prostitutes. Please think about the verse and replace "covering" with "hair" to easily realize this. "If she have no covering (hair) then let her head be shaven." Why shave a woman's head who is already bald? That surely makes no sense. Now you can see. It is an actual covering being spoken of. And nowhere does it talk about temple prostitutes or because of gender identity. This is about wrongly equally the head of woman to man as being made in God's image.
Paul even stated this as well. It matters not the length of her hair or if she applies the customs of men in her culture. If she is doing that, she is already way off from the natural differences God placed for man and woman to have. This is about authority and order according to God. (Not covering a man's head and dishonoring God since the man's head is in the image of God, and covering the woman's head in order to not dishonor God by equally her head to that of a man made in God's image) If anyone wants to disagree (I am not saying you do), those people need find another religion, or make their own, as many people in essence do when they go against what is written within their own religion. We should follow Paul's teachings literally. I believe we should follow all of God, and Jesus, and Disciples, and Prophets of the Bible literally. We don't get to apply our own ideas of what we can do based on what we want or do not want to do. That's why there are so many religions (and different sects within them) in the world today. People putting their own thoughts into what God said. You prayed. Follow God and our Lord Jesus Christ, and learn from the Holy Spirit (Spirit of God/ Truth). May God Bless you sister in your search for His truth in all things !
You don't have to wear a covering. A woman's hair is her covering. Paul was giving his advice on what they asked. And if anyone continued reading those verses, at the end Paul said if anyone wants to argue about the subject, that they have no such tradition of head coverings.
1 Corinthians 11:15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering. 11:16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.

1. Sign of authority
2. To pray
3. To prophesy
4. Because of the angels
Do you understand the "angels" point? That part I'm not clear on understanding.
@@adailydaughter6196 Mike Winger did a very thorough video on head covering that took days to get through, but was very interesting and answers this question.
It was helpful for me to think of other things in the Bible that were signs for an angel.
-Blood on the lintel and doorposts
-mark of God's children in Revelation
So this would seem to be a symbolic mark so that angels can identify those women that are in submission to God's order, embracing the gender role created for them.
@@adailydaughter6196to my understanding, the angels see the wife's symbol of submission to her husband and it reminds them to submit to God.

@@annelanham2258so awesome. This statement answers the question completely. I’m going to continue to cover my head. Plus because Paul wasn’t talking to a culture he was talking to Christians. To teach them Gods ways.
People read and study the scripture for yourselves.Allen us just giving you his understanding of the scripture.let us not be lazy in doing the work ourselves.
Well said his understanding is twisted and doesn’t even make sense at all.
He doesn’t clearly understand there is no trinity and what the head covering is all about here is why
Allen Parr is always circumventing the word of God, twisting it and making it void and meaningless.
There is no TRINITY. The head covering symbolises the covenant and authority of husband over the woman. It’s a covenant that was made to the seed of Abraham in Genesis 17. The list of verses will clearly make you understand what message God is trying to covey about his covenant and commandments, he said those who love him will keep his commandments in John 14:15. If Adam hadn’t eaten the fruit, God would forgave her because Adam was her head and as long as she had her covering (Adam) nothing would have happened. But because Adam disobeyed his head Christ and Eve disobey her head Adam, God had to punish them and death came to us.
HEAD COVERING
1 Corinthians 11: 1-10
1 Timothy 2: 10-14
Numbers 30: 1-8 especially verse 5-8
Numbers 5: 12-14, 18
Ecclesiastes 5: 2-6
Genesis 24: 65 as soon as Rebekah saw Isaac she covered her head.
The head covering symbolises hierarchy of authority. If a man makes a vow unto the Lord he has to fulfill it. But if a woman does, the husband has the authority to make that vow null and void because her head is her husband and God will forgive it, Numbers 30: 1-8.
When Rebekah asked Isaac’s servant who he was as soon as she was told it was his Master, she put her head covering. That was her respecting the word of God and the covenant since she is also part of the seed of Abraham.
Only the seed of Abraham and the gentiles purchased by the blood of Jesus Christ that obeyed God’s commandments will inherit the kingdom of earth for eternity, it’s in Galatians 3 verse 15-29.
Verse 29 says:
29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
There is circumcision of the foreskin, and the heart (human mind)
Jesus is the seed of Abraham, he also was circumcised eight days after birth. Notice Genesis 17: 12-14 even the strangers that were bought by Abraham had to be circumcised.
Then you have Galatians 3: 13-29, that clearly explains what the seed of Abraham has to do and Jesus being the seed of Abraham he purchased Gentiles with his blood & verse 17 clearly clarifies that the covenant God made about the head covering, commandments, circumcision, feasts of the Lord, dietary law is still in full effect to this day and cannot be disannualed.
The head covering has nothing to do with sexuality it’s a covenant women are supposed to follow failure to do so they will get cut off once resurrection comes into the Lake of fire. For a woman it is a symbol of authority and submissiveness to their husbands as well as respecting the covenant of God who gave the authority to the husband over his wife. It’s plain simple. Women preaching in church without head covering and lying about the spirit of the Lord being upon them, God will deal with them. This is what he said to those who didn’t obey his words and did what everyone else did.
Matthew 7: 21-23
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
All I can say is read your Bible 📖 people. Shalom. Work your salvation with fear and trembling Philippians 2:12 don’t let people like Allen Parr deceive you, he doesn’t even understand the word of God at all.
The bible makes it clear what who the Holy Spirit is and he is not equal to Jesus & Jehovah. He is a servant of Jesus Christ he only speaks what he’s told to and do what he is told to. Angel Gabriel, when he visited Zechariah the father of John the Baptist in & Mary the mother of Jesus, the account will tell you also how John the Baptist was filled with the holy spirit in his mother’s womb read, Luke 1: 5-45. Gabriel was a Holy Spirit, so as Michael because they did as they were told. Gabriel struck Zechariah with muteness because he did not believe the word of God and the bible also defines the Holy Spirit
Exodus 23: 20-23
20 Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
21 Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.
22 But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.
To which Jesus said about the Holy Spirit in John 16
John 16: 7, 12-15 verse 13-15 pay attention and it says
13 When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. 14 He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. 15 All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.
Then Jehovah made it plain clear cos he knew people like Allen Parr will cause people to worship angels cos the fallen Angels that fell are called Evil spirits and the Angels that stayed with God are called Holy Spirits, so if you’re talking about the Holy Spirit you need to tell us which one. Cos God send Michael to deal with Lucifer. He sent Gabriel to Daniel, Mary and her cousin Elizabeth that they were to have sons Jesus and John the Baptist.
Notice Gabriel spoke what he was told and did what he was commanded to do he left Zechariah mute. Exodus 23: 20-23 reinforces what the Holy Spirit will do and his authority and how he present himself to you. Moses saw a burning bush, Joshua like Moses was told the same thing to take of his shoes, that’s what the Holy Spirit does.
Then Apostle Paul cleared that whole trinity nonsense
Hebrews 1:5-9
5 For to which of the angels did God ever say, "You are my Son, today I have begotten you"? Or again, "I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son"?
6 And again, when he brings the firstborn into the world, he says, "Let all God's angels worship him."
7 Of the angels he says, "He makes his angels winds, and his ministers a flame of fire."
8 But of the Son he says, "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.
9 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your companions."
You can know about all of this if you read the Bible 📖. Be blessed and do not be deceived by Allen Parr the spirit of truth is not in him

I've been debating on whether or not to be a Christian Hijabi. About 2 years ago I reconnected with God after declaring myself an atheist. I truly believe that all of his preachings are to be followed, and not just what the Christian culture goes along with. Not only do I find comfort in the thought of a hijab to please God, I am also tired of unwanted attention from men. I don't mean this in a narcissistic way, but I get a lot of attention for my looks, and at first it was flattering but now it's straight up annoying. I'm married and I feel like I'm tempting others by not covering. I really do feel God calling me to wear one.
Please pray for me to gain the courage to wear one!
I feel the same I’ve been having a calling to cover my head !
Praying for you!!! It’s a beautiful thing to cover your head in submission to God out of love and worship. It doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks. Do you 🙏🏽
Hi love! Did you end up covering? Would love to know how it's been and your journey
@@jesusisthegreatestlovether4072 Not yet sadly! I’m thinking about ordering a hijab online and wearing it out. I live in the sticks in the South and I am pretty scared of judgement. But I have deleted all pictures off social media that show my hair.
Do it sister. In Shaa Allah.
I wore a head covering in public today. Wow did I get treated differently. 😬 I wore it because it’s cold and my hair is wet. I usually wear one in prayer. I was going to take it off before entering the store. I heard a voice say NO leave it on! So I obeyed and wow 😯 special treatment. Very respectful. Everyone was super nice.
You should also keep it on because you never know when you have to pray!😁
@@bdayluv1986 I was thinking the same thing. I am presented with opportunities to pray for people all different times, so I’m thinking about wearing it all of the time.
@@bdayluv1986also 1 Thessalonians 5:17
When one allows themselves to be consumed with one doctrine it sometimes moves them to take the development of this doctrine a step further. In this case, certain sects that adhere to head covering have made the ordinance that women ought to wear veils nearly 24 hours a day. The way this is justified is due to the amalgamation of verses such as 1st Thessalonians 5:17, which states we are to “pray without ceasing” and the verses in 1 Corinthians 11 that mention women “praying.”
For many in the head covering movement this mixture of verses draws more problems as it hurts the argument for those who adhere to wearing veils only under two conditions. Since the argument is that women are to wear a veil or hat for a couple of moments in time and/or only during what they interpret to mean “public” worship and not for practically 24 hours a day, every day for the rest of their lives.
It is evident that the “24-hour argument” has to reject the idea that it is only worn during public worship or any brief moment. Extremists will wear them night and day but yet there are practical questions that need to be answered regarding changing clothes, washing and sleeping. People who are not so extreme and have no problem taking it off during these moments have told me (in order to justify and rationalize wearing their veils throughout the day) is that to avoid constantly putting it on and taking it off they might as well leave it on. So it is more convenient to leave it on. The problem is that within certain sects that admit that they simply keep it on for convenience have strict rules with no option to take it off even if they are not praying. And if they are seen without it they might get a strict lecture. This type of reasoning is how man-made doctrines are formed.
I almost have no doubt that this must be causing some veil promoters to live in a very confusing bubble, especially those who use the two-condition argument and at the same time claim it out to be worn nearly all the time. For on the one hand, they argue that the covering is a veil that one puts on when praying or prophesying but on the other hand, it is required to be worn nearly all the time. So, it’s ok to preach that it is removable but in practice, they have their women BOUND to wear them and not take them off regardless of whether they are praying or prophesying. This is very inconsistent.
This one misinterpretation causes a snowball effect by creating an array of issues, which is not biblically supported.
Also, if a woman should cover her head with a hat or veil all the time because she should always be praying then this should also mean that a man should NEVER have his head covered because he should always be praying all the time as well.
But men wear all kinds of head coverings for various reasons on a day-to-day basis and it is not considered a sin. For example, during winter a bald man would wear a hat to insulate his head against the cold, and a man that works in construction would and should wear a helmet for safety purposes. If we were to accept that, unlike verses 4 and 5 explicitly state, 1st Corinthians 11 teaches women to ALWAYS wear head coverings, then we are also saying men should NOT wear a head covering at any time. The latter proposition is clearly not reasonable and thus makes of no effect this interpretation.
@@FA-God-s-Words-Matter that was a very long reply. I will get back to reading that when I have time.
When I first got saved, I was newly transformed back to my natural hair but still wearing wigs. Later I was convicted on the wigs then I was convicted on how much attention I was giving to my natural hair. Later, again I was convicted over and over about wearing a head covering when I pray and even when I go out because the Lord revealed to me how much of a distraction my hair was. Even at church my sisters would say how much they love my hair and it was distracting them from focusing on God and I was always trying to make it look good for church. (It became an idol/god)
I truly believe that this is an individual conviction and God convicts who he pleases. It’s up to us to obey. Covering my head was hard at first but the Lord comforts me always and reassures me why I need to be covered, not just my head but all of me. He wants me to be Holy, set apart and focus on him wholeheartedly.
If someone needs a prayer, I’m always covered and ready to help. It’s truly humbling for me. We are called to be humbled as well. We are to do the Lord’s will not matter the time or culture.
It’s so good to finally see a video on this topic and I thank you for bringing this to us. Let us all pray and let the Holy Spirit leads for his name sake.
Amen.Yes, its humbling and its set you apart. It's also beautiful. Or at least, I think it makes me look beautiful.
you’re basically saying that you felt guilty over doing something harmless . The question you need answered here is why should you feel this type of pointless guilt over something silly and harmless like your hairstyle?
@@dancingnature There's nothing harmless about outward adornment such as wigs inspired by demons. Spiritual discernment is needed to understand.
@@dancingnature this walk with the Lord is personal and only I can determine if it's "silly and harmless"...spiritual things are spiritually discern. I am no longer a slave to my hair. Spending so much time on my "look", on my hair was causing stress and separating me from my Creator. I now have way more time to focus on God. I don't need hairstyles to be beautiful. I need Jesus! That's between me and Jesus. My question for you dear, is what are you being a slave to?
@@jidechiemeka Thank you so much! I couldn't agree more. So many people are dying just so others can wear wigs when God gave us all beautiful hair. I adorn myself with godly virtues now. I'm happy!!!
I wear a head covering daily mostly because my actual hair is a mess most days! Also when I’m alone with God I always cover my head in prayer and worship. I do believe this is something God will convict on however and shouldn’t be something people pressure women to do.
Kan sister!
you have a bad hair, and hiding it. Please don’t make it biblical.
God is concerned about our hearts not our outerwear, even though the bible speaks about modest dressing. There is places in the world where people can't even afford clothes but they love Jesus with all their hearts. Let get our hearts right before God, being religious will not save us
Yes, Paul was giving his advice on what they asked. A woman doesn't have to wear a covering because her hair is her covering. If anyone continued reading those verses, at the end Paul said if anyone wants to argue about the subject, that they have no such tradition of head coverings!
1 Corinthians 11:15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering. 11:16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
@@dn-qn7sk 💯💯
I wear a head covering any time I am in church or in personal prayer. This is because the bible says to do so and also after praying over the issue the Lord laid it in my heart to wear a head covering during worship and prayer time, because it pleases Him.
Thank you! God bless!
Thank you for sharing. I feel I am being led to wear one in church but I often pray in bed before I fall asleep… I was going to ask your opinion but whoops I should just ask God 😬
Jesus Christ had the Apostle Paul tell WIVES to cover their heads while formal worship in churches!
The Koine' Greek word for woman in these verses of 1 Corinthians chapter 11 is the word for WIVES, not a single woman or a widow! To each his own!❤(I'm an elderly invalid widow, and I attend services on Pal Talk)
Can I ask smthg I am not Christian so I want to know I checked on Google it says when women go out also they have to cover their heads is it true
Where does the Bible say to wear a head covering? I’m trying to learn.
I started veiling my head as I felt called to do so, to live a modest life that wards off unwanted attention. It's crazy how when I had my "conventionally attractive" loose curls out, it literally "compelled" men to stop infront of me with their cars, harass me in stores and bother me practically everywhere I go. I think veiling is great to show my modesty and provide me a level of protection from the male gaze. And I do believe that my true husband will adore me for beyond my hair, he will see my other qualities and once he sees my hair, it will be hopefully a pleasant surprise.
It’s sad that your internalized misogyny made you blame yourself. Those males harassed you for power& control, it’s NEVER your fault. Trust me, I Fred modestly and still got harassed.
The male gaze is just about overflowing vulnerable women. They’d never go near a confident assertive woman, modest or not.
@disciple of CHRIST So is veiling for God or for men? You can’t have it both ways if you’re gonna claim only God should be obeyed.
If veiling is showing submission to God and not for the male gaze, then why don’t men cover up too?
You have a lot of contradictions.
@disciple of CHRIST
Your comment is hilarious because if it’s “nature”, then why are men naturally born with the same long hair as women? It took haircuts to get it short for them Lmaoo.
And not all women are born with long hair, many of us are born with medium or short hair and that’s OK.
Stop acting like a cult, let women wear what WE want.
It’s gets easier as you get older as surprisingly men become less interested hehe. On a serious note I prefer to educate men about their behaviour when I’m made uncomfortable, but in a safe environment, as that is where the issue lies not with hair, clothes etc, but appreciate not all people have the confidence. I am lucky to be in a country with generally good laws that protect all and striving to educate men to reduce harassment. Also a good God wouldn’t be concerned about covering or not covering hair and a good person equally would see beyond that. Do what makes you comfortable.
Amen Amen, I agree
I absolutely love having my head covered, especially when I am praying and worshipping. I noticed my teenage daughter was inquiring about heading covering on a biblical perspective, now she cover's her hair during prayer and at church.
That’s wonderful, I too wear a headscarf when praying, reading the Bible and at church,
That’s a choice that’s not mandated by God though ...Nor does it stop you all from having a relationship with him God bless 💕✝️
Amen
For the the Christian women to cover her head, it is the word of God. Yes they should cover their heads. It is not for the man to force the women to cover their heads, but to teach it and leave it when they understand it. It is a personal thing between the woman and the Lord. Jesus say if you called me Lord then why you don't do what I say. They are many who received Jesus as their saviour but not their Lord. To give an eg. In the book of Isaiah chapter 6:2 the seraphims (angels) cover with their wings whenever they are in the presence of God. So in Corinthians it says because of the angels. When the body of Christ meets together, their are angels that gather around us to learn the manifold wisdom of God and the are looking on to see if the women are keeping the Devine order. The women should cover their glory, only Christ glory must be seen. I hope this is helpful. The Lord bless you.
@loyalty Yes it is , my relationship still remains with Christ w or w/o one that has nothing to do with your heart towards Jesus , he still speaks to me & still feel his presence …nothings wrong with doing it but ain’t go stop nothing Jesus saying come as u are- anyone who says otherwise is just SUPER RELIGIOUS that has nothing to do with Heaven nor winning souls , GN & Be blessed !
I just had this conversation with my husband and self a few months ago. I've found that wearing my covering when out makes me FEEL covered and I like that feeling. Its knowing I'm not giving "myself" away to everyone. God is amazing when it comes to helping us do the right things, just trust in his answers and pray. Good luck to everyone.

Wearing something on my head never has stopped me from feeling Gods presence nor has he has ever convicted me for not wearing one like he has on other things ...I still pray in Holy spirit & etc...That has nothing to do with your Salvation & relationship with Christ ...sometimes we interpret the bible based on feelings & not by Holy spirit....Tradition & Religion has been a mindset instead of just seeking & listening for God ....Thats a choice its not a Sin to not wear a head coverings nor is it a bad thing it’s just a choice maybe it was something from Old Covenant we are not required to do that ...My church is a powerful Supernatural spirit filled place & we Don’t wear head coverings at all unless we just want to ...God bless 💕✝️
Hallelujah
This was very well said.
When I was younger I read that passage and no one at my church could explain to me why we do not wear head coverings as women and why we do not wash each other's feet. They tried to tell me it wasn't a requirement but I always felt that the verse said what it said. But since I wasn't married and the veil was a symbol of the authority of the husband, I told myself I would revisit it when I'm married. Today marks the third week that I've been married and Allen posted that video. I am also wearing a head covering at the moment (mostly because my hair is a mess but still...). I do not think it's a coincidence.
Congrats on your Holy Matrimony sis! God bless you and your husband!
@@shantijamilah8688 Amen, thank you Shanti, God bless you too! 💕
You are 100% right head covering should be a practice in the churches I don't know why they brush over it. But the washing of feet is not necessary it was just an example of humility I love breaking that one down but too long to write down hear

@Sirusthegreat2 so if we don’t choose to wear a wrap or “headscarf” we just should have our hair instead of cutting it short?
Oh anyway he got further into the Bible and explained it 🙃
*The idea of "modesty" is a joke. God created us to be fully nude with NO SHAME and it was only when we started playing our own game that we started viewing our bodies as disgraceful. 99% of clothing has nothing to do with trying to be sexy, it's just the individual wearing what makes them comfortable. Clothing doesn't influence bad actions, bad character does.*
I don't know where I stand on this issue (I'm female), but the point you made about short hair on women being a culture thing made me pause... The same nation that thinks women with short hair is fine also thinks men wearing dresses is empowering, abortion is loving, same-sex marriage is natural, etc... So maybe we should follow Paul's teachings literally in order to be separate from the world?
But also I think not every woman is able to grow their hair out for multiple reasons...
I feel like it's ok as long as it's a short but feminine haircut
@@kngnk815 yes but for example my mom’s family is North African and some of the women can’t grow their hair long to even be cut; I guess what I am saying is it’s not all a cultural issue, there are circumstances where women can’t grow hair to be a « covering » ; hence the need for a actual covering either scarf or fabric.
The main principle for the whole pericope (1Cor11:2-16) is HEADSHIP. Particularly the HUSBAND is the head of the WIFE. It is to solve the problem in Corinth, there are contentious wives (verse 16 and succeeding chapters) that possibly offends Jews, Gentiles and other churches of God (Chapter 10:32). Head coverings, order of creation and long/short hair are just supporting arguments to solidify the main principle Paul is preaching. These are arguments from ALREADY ACCEPTED BELIEFS by Corinthians (regardless if they are subjective/objective truth) i.e. argument from CULTURE (headcovering), CREATION (Adam and Eve) and NATURE (Long/short hair as glory/shame).
It is NOT a problem in Corinth that there are women who do not cover their head, or do not believe in the order of creation, or that there are women that cut their hair short... they BELIEVE THESE ALREADY,.... reason why Paul used these "already accepted beliefs" to strengthen his argument that the husband is the head of the wife... in order to solve the REAL PROBLEM in corinth... i.e. contentious women that causes others to be offended.
In any case, the overriding principle is LOVE for your fellowmen, not to offend them so they can be saved (Chapter 10:33)
Paul's intention is NOT to require wearing of headcovering or long hair PER SE for all time, for all culture... But for all Christians for all time and culture to imitate him in observing the absolute truth of love or AGAPE (1Cor11:1), i.e. not to put a stumbling block to anyone towards worshiping God (1Cor10:32). And it is offensive to see contentious women in the church... Why? Because the husband (whose head is Christ) is the head of the wife. There are Corinthians who do not know or do not observe this PRINCIPLE (verse 3 starts with a reprimand "BUT I would have you know... ")
The three supporting arguments of Paul to build his main theme of headship, are merely symbols (NOT commandments on their own). Symbols with meanings (tied in their culture) that are COINCIDENTLY perfect to be used to illustrate TO THE CORINTHIANS why the husband should not be headed by the wife, and why the wife should be headed by the husband(whose head is Christ, a real christian)
If things were different, for example, the problem of contentious wives happened here in the Philippines, Paul would have used different accepted symbols/arguments to show what the God ordained headship in marriage looks like. Paul might have used that it is shameful for men to wear skirt (as it symbolizes a husband is being headed by his wife), this is the MEANING of this symbol in my country (at least more so in the 60's 70's).
Again, the problem is not about the non-observance of these symbols (headcovering, long hair) or non belief of the creation narrative. The problem is the non observance of some wives on the God ordained PRINCIPLE of headship that causes or might cause a stumbling block for others (Jews, Gentiles and churches of God).
This is a very convuluted passage on the point of view of someone living in 2021 with a very different cultural mindset. So historical, social, cultural, Biblical context is very important in order to have a coherent understanding of the Scripture.
I do not want to go in details about literal circumcision and other legalistic rituals that emphasizes on the outward appearance instead of the what is really important for God... THE INNER MAN. Something to think about.
Hope this helps. May God give us all the wisdom to discern His words.
I believe your toughts are going in the right direction!
In the last church I attended most of the women covered their hair. I was new in the faith and so I began covering my head as well, although not 100% convinced it was necessary. I have to say that it did make me feel SO much closer to God when I was wearing it and praising/worshipping Him. There was something so humbling about it and made me feel as though I was honouring God in a different way. I’m still not certain on where I stand with the issue of head coverings (although I’m leaning more towards the side of wearing it) but that was my personal experience with it. God bless 🙏🏽

@@rere8635 I feel the same way. I was going to pit in comments this exact same thing. Nobody must not have read further down to verse 15 the hair is the covering. I don't feel as though we have to do this in present time like days of the past. But there is nothing wrong with wearing the covering.
Although I believe there are cultural differences in which type of head covering we may use (hat, veil, turban, headband, etc), I believe that the practice of head covering was meant to transcend culture. Just cause something is cultural does not mean it’s right. There are plenty of cultural things that go against God’s word. Also, isn’t most of what the Bible teaches us counter-cultural?
I still haven’t found anything in the Bible that tells me that head covering is no longer required of us, but after some researching I did find out that it was practiced in the church for thousands of years up until the feminist movement. People understood what the symbol of head covering meant and hated it so much that the National Organization of Women even called for a “national unveiling” back in 1968 where they would burn their head covering as a way to “protest the second class status of women in all churches.” Not wearing a head covering for them was a way to show their rejection of God’s established order of headship. I know that’s not why most women don’t head cover anymore, but after learning that, not covering didn’t sit well with me anymore, so I’ve been covering for the past few months and I’ve learned so much about submission, meekness, humility, modesty, headship, etc. 1 Corinthians 11 has so much more to teach us than we even realize.
Thank u for this understanding bc it been in my spirit so long especially after my late fiance told me to cover my head at all times
Thanks for this!
love this!!! I also started covering my head after research and conviction.
Great comment! I totally agree, I have been doing the same
I wear head scarfs all the time is that what you wear ?
I wear one as a symbol that I am under my husband's authority. He said women "ought to wear one as a symbol..." It isn't a command, but I choose to because it's just a good conversation starter to share my faith and a good way to walk closer with God.
That's awesome!
Good respectful woman.
Although it is not a law, if you do it out of love, then there's nothing wrong about wearing one.
@@wisdomdesignedlife I agree with that. He loves it that I wear it and I love that he loves it.
@@ksprecher8758 I know what it says, it says my glory of hair is given to me as a covering. But the very next verse says if anyone is inclined to be contentious about it, there's no such practice nor in the church. But verse 10 clearly says a women ought to 'wear' a covering as a *symbol* of authority. So I do. It tells everyone that that I practice this with no contention for God has placed my husband over me and I love the Lord so it is with a happy heart that I wear a covering in submission to that authority. :)
When I first got saved the Lord convicted me to stop wearing wigs/weaves and cover my hair. I now wear head scarfs. It has humbled me a lot!
Wow, Thanks for baring witness that this is not culture, this is Kingdom & Bible 🎊!!
I’ve recently stopped wearing make up, definitely a good humbling change :) God Bless You sister
When i real got saved(was saved before but not serious) in april 2020, i got a conviction on holiness but as we of now i have started covering my head with cotton scarfs and preferably cotton, no short sleeves,no more tights, no more gyming,no more trousers, no more nail polishing,jewelery,no more tights(skirts,dresses and inner bikers), and now am still struggling with alot of these but i have to for obedience purposes. I am to remove my iud soon i also were sockings now especially with open shoes. Still praying about eggs n chicken but am hopeful for God to answer me.

In Timothy the Bible tells us to rightly divide the Word. Understand Paul was writing to converted Jews who found it hard to leave their customs. Others wanted to drop everything and go wild. Note that non- Jews were not asked to keep these customs. What Paul was attempting to do was maintain order as they came to know their freedom in grace. You on the other hand have never lived that way so how can you say GOD is telling you to live Jewish?
@@RuthDameron In 1 Cor. 11, it's not possible the chapter was written for certain customs only. But I don't judge if anyone believes they must not practice the head covering.
i started covering my head and dressing more modestly because i was tired of being a stumbling block for men and women, as-well as not being taken seriously as a christian because of how i was previously dressing, I've even had a situation of me telling someone about God and them just commenting on my looks ..i wish i were jk. it's also helped me feel safer overall, im not being followed off the bus anymore which used to happen 2/5 times i took the bus and ppl just arent distracted anymore and im not uncomfortable anymore. it mainly started with the Holy Spirit convicting me tho. i find modesty so empowering.it's also started conversations about God between many of different faith and non believers and it's become really helpful in spreading God's word to these people
A stumbling block for men...?
But i also find it sad that you have to cover up to feel safe. Instead of changing or stopping the people behaving this way you change your looks to avoid that behavior.
Someone else's issue with lust is not your burden to bear. If that's the case, you should wear a birka and cover your whole self head to toe. We don't stop eating around people who struggle with gluttony. We keep eating. Sis, if you're beautiful, praise God for that. You don't need to look "blah" in order to not be a stumbling block for others. They need to get their heart right before the Lord and get their eyes off of you. Modesty is birthed in the heart first and foremost. Rachel Stephens has some great YT videos on "modesty culture". Blessings 🙌🏾

How has it changed your walk? I see headcovering as a crown for a daughter of the King of the Universe, a physical symbol of a spiritual protection.
Your long hair is considered head covering no need to use headscarf.
I have come to see headcovering as a crown for a daughter of the King of the Universe, a physical symbol of the spiritual protection. It’s powerful.
I think head coverings is only for when your praying in 1 corinthians 11 . 5 it also says that the woman hair is her glory and given to her as a Covering so praying cover your head when not your hair is the covering. That’s what I understood from 1 corinthians
@@Gats8479 so not true. Replace headcovering in the scripture with the word hair and see how much sense it makes
So, 4 minutes after you posted this I put utube on for instrumental music while I pray. This video popped up. God speaks through you, as I have been trying to cover my head while I pray but often just plain forget. I don’t judge any woman who chooses not to cover, but I really want to practice it. Thank you God for Allen’s videos, I covered my head this morning while I prayed and will keep a scarf in my prayer corner so I will not forget. Hallelujah!
Your comment reminded me if I cover my head when I pray it helps me focus, as does getting on my knees. Thanks for the reminder!
Im not sure why you were trying to cover your head, but just know that you don't have to cover your head if you don't want to. It's not required. Paul was giving his advice on what they asked. A woman doesn't have to wear a covering because her hair is her covering. If anyone continued reading those verses, at the end Paul said if anyone wants to argue about the subject, that they have no such tradition of head coverings.

@@mratliff1277 God bless you!
Great video, Allen! As someone who grew up around head coverings but doesn't wear one today, this is such a tricky topic because it partly has to do with the heart! I don't not believe head coverings should be forced onto anyone especially when considering manners and customs during the Bible times; however, it could be a beautiful display of affection and/or obedience for God when an individual willingly makes the decision to do so after examining the Bible and praying for guidance. I would caution that wearing an head covering is only for the Lord and does not make that person in any way superior to those who do not.
This! I grew up Amish and now that I plan to leave soon I'm trying to find more information on this subject. I just feel like the head covering is a symbol more than an actual requirement. I mean,is God really going to keep me out of Heaven just because I don't wear a head covering? I can't believe he would. Also I have a neighbor who stopped wearing a head covering after she left the Amish and a mother and sisters who wear one. When I look at their lives,I ask myself,which of these women do I feel is more Christlike? Whose example do I want to follow? And it's my neighbor. So my choice is not to wear the head covering
@@Rosesandrainyroads I like what you said here because of how accurate it is. I've met many self-righteous women who belittle and look down upon other women for not being “godly” enough. While I do believe the principle behind head coverings is essential and transcultural, I've noticed it’s tip-toeing towards idolatry. Almost the same way having children has become. Whatever a woman chooses to do, women should remember to remain humble and focus on God. Head coverings don't make you holier than others.
I only cover my head when I pray.. but most of the time I wear a scarf on my head cause I’ll never know If I’ll run into someone who needs a prayer 🙏🏾 but great video!

Feminity is beautiful don’t be deceive into feminism. Some said “weaker vessel doesn’t mean lesser vessel”
My sentiments exactly don't let the Devil Decieve You ❣️✝️🙏🏾
I've never heard that saying before. Do you mean that women are weaker than men?
@@SofiaProohf yes,
You can be feminine and still believe in social, political and economical equality between men and women (aka feminism). They are not mutually exclusive. This verse illustrates that men and women are equal (i.e. both worthy of the same regard, respect, honour, dignity, consideration, etc.) even though they are different (one being weaker) since they both inherit the same grace of life. We can be different and still be equal. Using equity (difference in treatment dependent on the need in order to achieve fairness), we can achieve equal enjoyment of life that we've all inherited from God.
"Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered" (1 peter 3:7-9).
If you understand that weaker does not mean lesser, not every other man shares your opinion. That's why feminism exists. There are still men who are killing women for rejecting them. There are married men who are raping their wives, etc. Femicide is still a thing all over the world.
I've heard a guy from church saying submission means that women are subservient to men and no one checked him. If you don't want to see feminism, make it irrelevant by fighting the root cause of its existence. Feminism is not a bad thing in itself. Just like anything else it can be misused, misinterpreted or misunderstood but its core idea is equality among human beings irrespective of their genders and that's Godly. Just like anything godly it is attacked by the ennemy. If it wasn't for feminism, your mother wouldn't have the right to vote or work.
Judging feminism on the basis of its extreme interpretation is the same as judging Christianism on the basis of its twisted interpretations. Anything can be perverted.
Also, we need to understand that the way our cultures define femininity is completely subjective. Many traits that are attached to femininity are things that God requires from both men and women. The same applies to some of the masculine traits defined by society. Courage and strength categorised as masculine traits are things that God expects from his people regardless of gender (Joshua 1:6; Ephesians 6:10, Psalm 27:14, etc.). Likewise Kindness and gentlessness (both fruits of the spirit) along with humility and modesty are things that God expects from all his people regardless of gender. But those are regarded as feminine traits in society. Does that mean a man that displays those qualities is less manly or effeminate? Or are we going to deny a woman her feminine nature because she lacks some fruits of the Spirit?
@@vanessakasongo4245 You just preached a whole word!!!
I really want to cover my head, but I am very scared of my mom's reaction. I want to cover my hair because I want to obey God ❤
Show her I Corinthians 11. Allow her to find fault if she can. It all comes down to you. You are responsible for the truth when you learn it. You have to make account for yourself not your mom.
Be respectful. Honor her by talking about what you feel according to Scripture. Allow her to process. In the end you will have her respect.
HIS POINTS DO NOT SEEM TO MATCH WHAT THE SCRIPTURE SAYS. HERE IS THE REPLY I GAVE HIM:
YOU MADE MANY INCORRECT POINTS: 1. You ask if it is the PRINCIPLE or the PRACTICE, which is important, but in 1 Corinthians 11:2, Paul praises the Corinthians for "HOLD [ING] FIRMLY to the traditions, JUST AS [HE] HANDED THEM DOWN TO [THEM]" (communicating that the actual PRACTICE is important}.
2. You state that practices may differ based on cultures or where you live, but Paul says that THE PRACTICE is to be performed DUE TO MAN BEING THE IMAGE AND GLORY OF GOD, WOMAN BEING THE GLORY OF MAN, WOMAN BEING MADE FOR MAN AND BECAUSE OF THE ANGELS, which means that IT IS NOT BASED ON CULTURE, BUT ON THE NATURE AND PURPOSE OF MANKIND'S CREATION AND THE EXISTENCE OF THE ANGELS (v. 7-10), and SINCE THOSE REASONS STILL EXIST, SO DOES THE EXPECTATION TO PERFORM THE PRACTICES.
3 NOTHING IN 1 CORINTHIANS 11:1-16 says that the instructions are for PUBLIC GROUP WORSHIP, as:
a) Paul says "EVERY man" and "EVERY woman" without (even once) giving any indication as to venue
b) verse 16 says that "if anyone is inclined to be contentious, we have no such practice, NOR DO THE CHURCHES OF GOD", implying that he was addressing all INDIVIDUAL BEHAVIOR (as opposed to saying 'neither do the OTHER churches of God [which WOULD HAVE indicated that he was solely addressing 'IN-CHURCH BEHAVIOR'])
c) Paul doesn't start talking about behavior DURING PUBLIC WORSHIP UNTIL VERSE 17, when he gives instruction about 'The Lord's Supper' as he mentioned FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES, that he was ADDRESSING PUBLIC WORSHIP BY STATING: "For first indeed, of you COMING TOGETHER IN AN ASSEMBLY" (v. 18), "of you COMING TOGETHER IN ONE PLACE" (v. 20), "do you despise THE CHURCH OF GOD" (v. 22) and "COMING TOGETHER in order to eat" (v. 33) (which is why all examples which you gave for instructions for 'group worship' come from AFTER 1 Corinthians 11:16).
4. You said that in that culture, a woman with a covered head showed submissiveness to her husband, therefore a man who covers his head shows submission to someone else, is reversing roles and blurring gender lines; HOWEVER, THE SCRIPTURE DOESN'T SAY ANY OF THAT, or that the instructions were based on that. There is no mention of 'blurring gender lines' or 'role reversal', but the propriety of the practice due to the nature and purpose of the creation of mankind and because of the angels (v. 7-10).
5. You said that a woman who does not cover her head dishonored her husband, but THE BIBLE DOES NOT SAY THAT "HEAD" EXCLUSIVELY REFERS TO A "HUSBAND", BUT TO "MAN". JUST AS GOD IS THE HEAD OF CHRIST, BUT IS NOT CHRIST'S HUSBAND (BUT HIS FATHER), HEAD may refer to an authoritative man (possibly, whether living or dead) WHO IS NOT THE WOMAN'S HUSBAND.
6. You claim that in our culture women can shave their head and no stigma is attached, so it is O.K. for them to pray or prophecy uncovered, but, it only takes one generation to normalize a practice which is wicked (such as transgenderism in this generation) so normalization of a practice WHICH THE BIBLE SAYS IS SHAMEFUL (v. 5) is not a bar for holiness as gender lines started crossing a few decades ago [but even today, a woman can still see a natural shame in one's shaving her head bald]. Further, 1 Corinthians 11:1-16 state, several times, that the instructions are to be followed, for multiple reasons; but never said a woman does not have to follow the instructions if they do not find a shaven head to be shameful.
7. You said that many theologians believe that , in that culture, prostitutes had their heads shaved (though you stated that there is no solid proof for that) and said that the shaved head communicated immoral culture, rejecting femininity and that a woman praying with her head uncovered was demonstrating same level of rebellion as a prostitute HOWEVER, NOT ONLY DOES THE BIBLE NOT STATE ANY OF THAT, but, even IF temple prostitues shaved their heads, THE BIBLE DOES NOT SAY THAT THE HEAD COVERING INSTRUCTIONS ARE BASED ON THE PRACTICE OF TEMPLE PROSTITUTES (or, as an example: construction workers do not wear hats because America likes fashionable hats / there is no direct connection between the two), AND THESE SCRIPTURES DO NOT MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT SEXUAL IMMORALITY, BEING AVAILABLE TO OTHER MEN OR TAKING DOWN THE HAIR, SO you are IGNORING THE SCRIPTURAL REASONS for the practices (the nature and purpose of the creation of mankind and the existence of the angels) and NEGATING GOD'S SCRIPTURAL INSTRUCTIONS, based on REASONS THAT THE SCRIPTURE DOES NOT PROVIDE.
Well then cover it it’s not about your mother it’s about god

I have a sister who is single, would this apply to single women if they don’t have a head (husband) or would their head then be their father? What if the head is not a practicing Christian who is submitted to Christ? Thanks!

To bolster my point: do you also follow Deuteronomy 22:-12 or Numbers 15:38 and their commands about tassels on clothing?
Peace and love, please check out this video about head covering th-cam.com/video/qmDGTTgAvmY/w-d-xo.html
It is not a law, but if you want to wear one or of love, then there's is nothing wrong. The same as someone who do not wear one (if it does not put a stumbling block to people in a certain culture).
The main principle for the whole pericope (1Cor11:2-16) is HEADSHIP. Particularly the HUSBAND is the head of the WIFE. It is to solve the problem in Corinth, there are contentious wives (verse 16 and succeeding chapters) that possibly offends Jews, Gentiles and other churches of God (Chapter 10:32). Head coverings, order of creation and long/short hair are just supporting arguments to solidify the main principle Paul is preaching. These are arguments from ALREADY ACCEPTED BELIEFS by Corinthians (regardless if they are subjective/objective truth) i.e. argument from CULTURE (headcovering), CREATION (Adam and Eve) and NATURE (Long/short hair as glory/shame).
It is NOT a problem in Corinth that there are women who do not cover their head, or do not believe in the order of creation, or that there are women that cut their hair short... they BELIEVE THESE ALREADY,.... reason why Paul used these already accepted belief to strengthen his argument that the husband is the head of the wife... in order to solve the REAL PROBLEM in corinth... i.e. contentious women that causes others to be offended.
In any case, the overriding principle is LOVE for your fellowmen, not to offend them so they can be saved (Chapter 10:33)
Paul's intention is NOT to require wearing of headcovering or long hair PER SE for all time, for all culture... But for all Christians for all time and culture to imitate him in observing the absolute truth of love or AGAPE (1Cor11:1), i.e. not to put a stumbling block to anyone towards worshiping God (1Cor10:32). And it is offensive to see contentious women in the church... Why? Because the husband (whose head is Christ) is the head of the wife. There are Corinthians who do not know or do not observe this PRINCIPLE (verse 3 starts with a reprimand "BUT I would have you know... ")
The three supporting arguments of Paul to build his main theme of headship, are merely symbols (NOT commandments on their own). Symbols with meanings (tied in their culture) that are COINCIDENTLY perfect to be used to illustrate TO THE CORINTHIANS why the husband should not be headed by the wife, and why the wife should be headed by the husband.
If things were different, for example, the problem of contentious wives happened here in the Philippines, Paul would have used different symbols/arguments to show what the God ordained headship in marriage looks like. Paul might have used that it is shameful for men to wear skirt (as it symbolizes a husband is being headed by his wife), this is the MEANING of this symbol in my country (at least more so in the 60's 70's).
Again, the problem is not about the non-observance of these symbols (headcovering, long hair) or non belief of the creation narrative. The problem is the non observance of some wives on the God ordained PRINCIPLE of headship that causes or might cause a stumbling block for others (Jews, Gentiles and churches of God).
This is a very convuluted passage on the point of view of someone living in 2021 with a very different cultural mindset. So historical, social, cultural, Biblical context is very important in order to have a coherent understanding of the Scripture.
I do not want to go in details about literal circumcision and other legalistic rituals that emphasizes on the outward appearance instead of the what is really important for God... THE INNER MAN. Something to think about.
Hope this helps. May God give us all the wisdom to discern His words.
@@coldinwisconsin2017 but there is a difference between commands in the NT vs the OT right?
@@Rachel-nb2vn Jesus came to fulfill the law, indeed, but He upheld all the 10 commandments. In fact, He made them even stricter. Hateful thoughts equal murder, lustful thoughts equal adultery. The 10 commandments are part of the principles Alan was talking about in this video. Regardless of culture, or the times, these principles apply and Jesus upheld the commandments. The “laws” that Jesus fulfilled were regarding necessity for animal sacrifices, food restrictions, etc. Those are the “practices” Alan was talking about in this video. Point being if you’re going to follow the practices like headcoverings then why not feel convicted to follow all of them, like the tassel example I gave?? The answer is because practices like head coverings are absolutely not sinful to wear, but also not sinful to NOT wear.
Thank you Brother Allen for explaining this subject! My wife loves to rap her head and she feels that she is showing respect to the Lord for doing so. I tend to agree with her and I must admit that I enjoy her covering also! I really don't think that she has to wrap for respect of me but when I look at her wrapped i know that she is a woman of our God!!! God Bless you and your family!!!

You state that practices may differ based on cultures or where you live, but Paul says that THE PRACTICE is to be performed DUE TO MAN BEING THE IMAGE AND GLORY OF GOD, WOMAN BEING THE GLORY OF MAN, WOMAN BEING MADE FOR MAN AND BECAUSE OF THE ANGELS, which means that IT IS NOT BASED ON CULTURE, BUT ON THE NATURE AND PURPOSE OF MANKIND'S CREATION AND THE EXISTENCE OF THE ANGELS (v. 7-10), and SINCE THOSE REASONS STILL EXIST, SO DOES THE EXPECTATION TO PERFORM THE PRACTICES.
3 NOTHING IN 1 CORINTHIANS 11:1-16 says that the instructions are for PUBLIC GROUP WORSHIP, as:
a) Paul says "EVERY man" and "EVERY woman" without (even once) giving any indication as to venue
b) verse 16 says that "if anyone is inclined to be contentious, we have no such practice, NOR DO THE CHURCHES OF GOD", implying that he was addressing all INDIVIDUAL BEHAVIOR (as opposed to saying 'neither do the OTHER churches of God [which WOULD HAVE indicated that he was solely addressing 'IN-CHURCH BEHAVIOR'])
c) Paul doesn't start talking about behavior DURING PUBLIC WORSHIP UNTIL VERSE 17, when he gives instruction about 'The Lord's Supper' as he mentioned FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES, that he was ADDRESSING PUBLIC WORSHIP BY STATING: "For first indeed, of you COMING TOGETHER IN AN ASSEMBLY" (v. 18), "of you COMING TOGETHER IN ONE PLACE" (v. 20), "do you despise THE CHURCH OF GOD" (v. 22) and "COMING TOGETHER in order to eat" (v. 33) (which is why all examples which you gave for instructions for 'group worship' come from AFTER 1 Corinthians 11:16).
4. You said that in that culture, a woman with a covered head showed submissiveness to her husband, therefore a man who covers his head shows submission to someone else, is reversing roles and blurring gender lines; HOWEVER, THE SCRIPTURE DOESN'T SAY ANY OF THAT, or that the instructions were based on that. There is no mention of 'blurring gender lines' or 'role reversal', but the propriety of the practice due to the nature and purpose of the creation of mankind and because of the angels (v. 7-10).
5. You said that a woman who does not cover her head dishonored her husband, but THE BIBLE DOES NOT SAY THAT "HEAD" EXCLUSIVELY REFERS TO A "HUSBAND", BUT TO "MAN". JUST AS GOD IS THE HEAD OF CHRIST, BUT IS NOT CHRIST'S HUSBAND (BUT HIS FATHER), HEAD may refer to an authoritative man (possibly, whether living or dead) WHO IS NOT THE WOMAN'S HUSBAND.
6. You claim that in our culture women can shave their head and no stigma is attached, so it is O.K. for them to pray or prophecy uncovered, but, it only takes one generation to normalize a practice which is wicked (such as transgenderism in this generation) so normalization of a practice WHICH THE BIBLE SAYS IS SHAMEFUL (v. 5) is not a bar for holiness as gender lines started crossing a few decades ago [but even today, a woman can still see a natural shame in one's shaving her head bald]. Further, 1 Corinthians 11:1-16 state, several times, that the instructions are to be followed, for multiple reasons; but never said a woman does not have to follow the instructions if they do not find a shaven head to be shameful.
7. You said that many theologians believe that , in that culture, prostitutes had their heads shaved (though you stated that there is no solid proof for that) and said that the shaved head communicated immoral culture, rejecting femininity and that a woman praying with her head uncovered was demonstrating same level of rebellion as a prostitute HOWEVER, NOT ONLY DOES THE BIBLE NOT STATE ANY OF THAT, but, even IF temple prostitues shaved their heads, THE BIBLE DOES NOT SAY THAT THE HEAD COVERING INSTRUCTIONS ARE BASED ON THE PRACTICE OF TEMPLE PROSTITUTES (or, as an example: construction workers do not wear hats because America likes fashionable hats / there is no direct connection between the two), AND THESE SCRIPTURES DO NOT MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT SEXUAL IMMORALITY, BEING AVAILABLE TO OTHER MEN OR TAKING DOWN THE HAIR, SO you are IGNORING THE SCRIPTURAL REASONS for the practices (the nature and purpose of the creation of mankind and the existence of the angels) and NEGATING GOD'S SCRIPTURAL INSTRUCTIONS, based on REASONS THAT THE SCRIPTURE DOES NOT PROVIDE.
Amen! Thank you so much! I've been studying this scripture for some time and have been praying for clarification, this helped me a lot!
Allen , the Apostle Paul asked christian women at that time to wear head coverings when praying or prophesying because of these two following reasons :
1 - to show respect to "God's Ordained Hierarchy " ( 1 Cor.11 : 3 ) : God - Jesus Christ - Man - Woman ; and to clearly proclaim "God's Ordained Hierarchy " for God's glory . Since "God's Ordained Hierarchy " is still the same today , therefore Christian women of today also must do the same .
2 - Because of the Angels ( 1 Cor.11 : 10 ) . Since Angels still exist today , therefore Christian women of today also must do the same .
Thus it is said, Matt 24:37-39, as was in the days of Noah and the angels still exist today
Why are we talking about "cultures"?ALL of Paul's writings are written for us TODAY!
His teachings are, but the cultural differences matter. The New Testament was written a while ago. Thousands of years ago. The society was completely different.
It matters. I do not think God intended the world to be homogenous in appearance but faith. That's why what the Beat has explained on the principle of the matter is important. In Paul's culture, the hair and the covering were a symbol of submission, in other cultures, it is completely different (Maasai woman traditionally go bald while the men have long colourful braids).
Nooooo...its not
@@a2l1able The messages are, but historically and based on regional factors and culture, is important. Because we're thousands of years apart. There is definitely something different
Because it’s good to understand the context and background👍🏽
I recently started it in church because I felt very convicted about my previously negative response to my husband's headship. It feels wonderful because it is healing for me.
My husband is head over me and he fulfills his obligation without complaint; with generous grace and unconditional love. I can cover my head for such a man, sent by such a God.
Amen
God bless you sister!
Amen!

I really appreciate that you break it down to the deeper layers... principles v practices. God has been healing me from some things and the journey has been quite amazing. Things get quite scrambled for me and getting them out can be quite difficult. I often use too many words. "Principles v practices" helps sum up a big portion of ways God has been healing me.
It also gives me a little more "excitement" about reading the bible again. I walked away from the church a long time ago because it seems like every church I go to are focused more on practices rather than principles, and getting the boxes checked off perfectly. They all SAY they want to get real, but when I trust that I find out they were lying... they really want no part of it. I literally had to walk away from the church because all the noise around going to church was a distraction for me in regards to focusing on God. I wasn't focused at all on learning what my personal relationship with God looked like because I was so focused on whether or not I was serving as much as I should have, or feeling defensive explaining that as a single mother I should be exempt from certain expectations, and instead rallied around rather than judged for assumptions that weren't even true, but most never bothered to learn the actual truth. (There have been a few exceptions along the way, but the majority of experiences have been negative and not about God at all, but rules and popularity contests.
After walking away from the church my relationship with God began to soar. The catalyzing prayer was "God please show me my beauty through Your eyes!"
I've seen some hints in various areas of my life where God seems to be "highlighting" the idea of reading the bible again, and maybe being in church again. I'm open to the idea, but believe it is still a ways off regarding church... but reading the bible again seems to be around the corner. I'm going to enjoy using this "filter" when applicable to help decipher different perspectives on passages. Thank you for the "tool."
This message was made just for me. I’ve been wrestling with this chapter especially because the majority of women in my church do wear head covering. Thank you for this video
But he is wrong on this one! Prayer is never and will never be a cultural practice. Culture or time does not change prayer. Prayer does not cease to be prayer simply because it is a different culture or at a different time. So God’s word says that women ought to cover their head WHEN THEY PRAY OR PROPHECY, and men ought to uncover their head WHEN THEY PRAY OR PROPHECY! Culture or time has nothing to do with it.

Shalom, I wear one because the Holy Spirit lead me to do so in early 1980s.
This just shows how far we have descended from the truth weather it be in principle or culture. These were put in place for a reason & as a believer we should uphold them. For the woman the head covering has a significance to do with the angels & we know what happen in genesis 6 & jude 6, also it helps to set us apart from the world.
A woman doesn't have to wear a covering because her hair is her covering. Paul was giving his advice on what they asked. If anyone continued reading those verses, at the end Paul said if anyone wants to argue about the subject, that they have no such tradition of head coverings.
1 Corinthians 11:15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering. 11:16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
i got that a woman doesnt have to wear it. To be honest believers as a whole dont "have" to do anything. its all about freedom of choice. the piece about the angels is still there & we know what happen in genesis 6 & jude 6
@@floridaboy305boy3 well, verse 16 says there is no tradition of head coverings. I don't know what the part about power on her head because of the angels mean, but it's certainly not about a piece of cloth.
@@背bせ So hair strands are kryptonite to angels? That is a stretch to say what Paul is talking about is related to gen6. And I cannot treat the book of enoch as truth. It's extra biblical, so we don't really know what happened then. We don't know how far that book was corrupted.
Jesus explained what he meant when he said it will be like Noah's time when he returns. If you read in Matthew 24, he says just like it was business as usual for the evil people and then the flood suddenly came when they weren't expecting it and took them away, it will be the same when he returns. One person will be taken away in destruction and the other left untouched. He tells us to be ready and waiting for Him and living righteously so we won't be caught in a "suddenly" when he returns and end up like the ones going to destruction.

This is one of the most brilliant passages in the Bible for me. Paul did a Solomon and amazingly weaved in more than one message from God with one subject. My husband covers my head, and I am grateful that I can style my head with my hair and/or with beautiful church hats or scarves, etc.
It feels like something is missing when I pray without covering my head
Question. So if i cover my head in prayer and in church. Does a cap work? If i have long braids? I cant cover my whole head and do i have to cover my head constantly? Like at work? Or just sitting at home or out to eat? Im trying to learn...
Also i pray on my to work do i need to have it covered on my way to work if im praying? I talk to God all day so do i cover all day. Or in secret.
U MUST ALWAYS COVER YOUR HEAD WHEN PRAYING/WORSHIPPING GOD
Exactly right
@@beautifulinsideandout9822 Christianity is a religion of moral rules,not physical rules.
We all are different. For example, some people use lavender oil to relax, but for some people the smell of lavender oil is too strong. Same way, some women like to cover their head. Some women don't.
For ex:- I don't like covering my head,cuz that makes me feel itchy and uncomfortable ,so i can't focus properly.
We have our likes and dislikes.
Always focusing on physical rules takes away our focus from spiritual rules. And we become "Legalistic" Christians.
We should be followers of Christ. We should be CHRIST- LIKE christians. We shouldn't be LEGALISTIC or LIBERAL Christians.
I'm not saying its unnecessary to cover your head while praying. I'm saying that "head covering" is not a hard and fast rule. If God leads you to wear a head covering,you should cover your head.
If God doesn't lead you,then you shouldn't. (Like me) i feel uncomfortable wearing wigs or head coverings and i can't properly focus. N if i lose focus while praying, i feel discontent and unsatisfied.
I like how you explain it was the show their gender. There's a lot of people are going against this today men looking like women and women looking like men
The bible doesn't say ABOUT it being an act of gender bending, though God could have if he wanted to The Bible says that it is because of the nature and purpose of mankind's creation and due to the existence of the angels (v. 7-10).

Its not a culture thing.... In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God. So the word is God. God is the same yesterday today and forever. So the word is the same yesterday today and forever. cultures may change over time but God remains the same and if something is put in the Bible as the word of God I am sure that whatever is in there was meant to stay in the practice of daily living. We don't change the word of God because times change. we don't change the word of God because it becomes inconvenient or doesn't match up with the latest women's lib belief system
The word does not change but the Bible is a book directed for all times. So the context of the head covering is relevant to that particular time. The message is still the same but the practices change. The message is still God as the head of the church and the man as the head of the woman. That reigns true but women at least where I am in Canada don't have the culture of middle eastern Jewish women of that day. So instead it is more relevant to follow the principle.

I've been a Christian for many years and never covered my head (pretty much just ignored that scripture as hats etc seemed more distracting than hair in todays culture as few people do). Then a couple of weeks ago after a discussion on women pastors and believing it seems pretty clear to me that Paul meant exactly what he said (even if we don't like it) and darn it there was the scripture on head covering and that inner voice said "if thats true why don't you follow this as well". Even though all those culture etc excuses rose....I knew they were just that....excuses. I've always had an issue with "submission" (my family still laugh at the way I stumbled over it in my marriage vows, because we had agreed to remove it and the minister put it back in). So...I felt the Holy Spirit challenging me to do it, not out if all the hierarchical reasons given but just out of humble obedience and my love for Him. Oh Lord....I was actually nervous, thinking "what if everyone looks at me putting a scarf on as I enter the church and taking it off as I leave, especially as it doesn't even match my outfit" Yep....that's how worldly this mature Christian still is. I shocked myself!! I also shocked myself with how profound a the effect this simple act has had on me. Both the fact of God's intimate engagement with me (I've not spoken about this with anyone) and being willing to say 'yes' to something non-essential to salvation and personally uncomfortable in order to humble myself before my perfect head...Jesus. "Happening" on this today (first time EVER hearing it discussed) is just confirmation...for ME, on MY journey.
I also veil and embrace full modesty (covers arms and legs), I even sometimes cover my face. But it is kinda difficult as many women at my church do not wear veils and my family doesn’t support me in wearing it. But I still stay strong as YHWH convicted me to Veil when I first got back into Christianity. It truly keeps my focus on YHWH/Yeshua. I feel very protected when wearing it. I would love to see more fellow sisters veiling.
Thanks for this. When I have my own place and money, I will definitely do this, God-willing.
You cover your face??

I have had mixed views on the subject, but what you say makes a lot of sense and I agree with you.
HIS POINTS DO NOT SEEM TO MATCH WHAT THE SCRIPTURE SAYS. HERE IS THE REPLY I GAVE HIM:
YOU MADE MANY INCORRECT POINTS: 1. You ask if it is the PRINCIPLE or the PRACTICE, which is important, but in 1 Corinthians 11:2, Paul praises the Corinthians for "HOLD [ING] FIRMLY to the traditions, JUST AS [HE] HANDED THEM DOWN TO [THEM]" (communicating that the actual PRACTICE is important}.
2. You state that practices may differ based on cultures or where you live, but Paul says that THE PRACTICE is to be performed DUE TO MAN BEING THE IMAGE AND GLORY OF GOD, WOMAN BEING THE GLORY OF MAN, WOMAN BEING MADE FOR MAN AND BECAUSE OF THE ANGELS, which means that IT IS NOT BASED ON CULTURE, BUT ON THE NATURE AND PURPOSE OF MANKIND'S CREATION AND THE EXISTENCE OF THE ANGELS (v. 7-10), and SINCE THOSE REASONS STILL EXIST, SO DOES THE EXPECTATION TO PERFORM THE PRACTICES.
3 NOTHING IN 1 CORINTHIANS 11:1-16 says that the instructions are for PUBLIC GROUP WORSHIP, as:
a) Paul says "EVERY man" and "EVERY woman" without (even once) giving any indication as to venue
b) verse 16 says that "if anyone is inclined to be contentious, we have no such practice, NOR DO THE CHURCHES OF GOD", implying that he was addressing all INDIVIDUAL BEHAVIOR (as opposed to saying 'neither do the OTHER churches of God [which WOULD HAVE indicated that he was solely addressing 'IN-CHURCH BEHAVIOR'])
c) Paul doesn't start talking about behavior DURING PUBLIC WORSHIP UNTIL VERSE 17, when he gives instruction about 'The Lord's Supper' as he mentioned FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES, that he was ADDRESSING PUBLIC WORSHIP BY STATING: "For first indeed, of you COMING TOGETHER IN AN ASSEMBLY" (v. 18), "of you COMING TOGETHER IN ONE PLACE" (v. 20), "do you despise THE CHURCH OF GOD" (v. 22) and "COMING TOGETHER in order to eat" (v. 33) (which is why all examples which you gave for instructions for 'group worship' come from AFTER 1 Corinthians 11:16).
4. You said that in that culture, a woman with a covered head showed submissiveness to her husband, therefore a man who covers his head shows submission to someone else, is reversing roles and blurring gender lines; HOWEVER, THE SCRIPTURE DOESN'T SAY ANY OF THAT, or that the instructions were based on that. There is no mention of 'blurring gender lines' or 'role reversal', but the propriety of the practice due to the nature and purpose of the creation of mankind and because of the angels (v. 7-10).
5. You said that a woman who does not cover her head dishonored her husband, but THE BIBLE DOES NOT SAY THAT "HEAD" EXCLUSIVELY REFERS TO A "HUSBAND", BUT TO "MAN". JUST AS GOD IS THE HEAD OF CHRIST, BUT IS NOT CHRIST'S HUSBAND (BUT HIS FATHER), HEAD may refer to an authoritative man (possibly, whether living or dead) WHO IS NOT THE WOMAN'S HUSBAND.
6. You claim that in our culture women can shave their head and no stigma is attached, so it is O.K. for them to pray or prophecy uncovered, but, it only takes one generation to normalize a practice which is wicked (such as transgenderism in this generation) so normalization of a practice WHICH THE BIBLE SAYS IS SHAMEFUL (v. 5) is not a bar for holiness as gender lines started crossing a few decades ago [but even today, a woman can still see a natural shame in one's shaving her head bald]. Further, 1 Corinthians 11:1-16 state, several times, that the instructions are to be followed, for multiple reasons; but never said a woman does not have to follow the instructions if they do not find a shaven head to be shameful.
7. You said that many theologians believe that , in that culture, prostitutes had their heads shaved (though you stated that there is no solid proof for that) and said that the shaved head communicated immoral culture, rejecting femininity and that a woman praying with her head uncovered was demonstrating same level of rebellion as a prostitute HOWEVER, NOT ONLY DOES THE BIBLE NOT STATE ANY OF THAT, but, even IF temple prostitues shaved their heads, THE BIBLE DOES NOT SAY THAT THE HEAD COVERING INSTRUCTIONS ARE BASED ON THE PRACTICE OF TEMPLE PROSTITUTES (or, as an example: construction workers do not wear hats because America likes fashionable hats / there is no direct connection between the two), AND THESE SCRIPTURES DO NOT MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT SEXUAL IMMORALITY, BEING AVAILABLE TO OTHER MEN OR TAKING DOWN THE HAIR, SO you are IGNORING THE SCRIPTURAL REASONS for the practices (the nature and purpose of the creation of mankind and the existence of the angels) and NEGATING GOD'S SCRIPTURAL INSTRUCTIONS, based on REASONS THAT THE SCRIPTURE DOES NOT PROVIDE.
Few weeks now I have covered my head while praying Because God asked me to.
I still shake hands. The only way to really know a man you just met is through his handshake.
During a pandemic it might be unsafe to do anyway, for our current situations. If the covid cases in your country isn't too high in your area I would say it's okay, not recommended though, for safety. But just be careful, wash your hands! Stay safe
If I die from showing brotherly love, so be it. If I offer and it is unwelcome There is no offense. That is handled with love as well.

@@talitameyer2581 Shaking hands was almost never a problem, unless someone just before coughed or sneezed on their hands and had a virus, flu, etc. As for carriers, like everything else, it was greatly exaggerated, but many believed them, which was the aim of the perpetrators. You can do whatever you like, but this crazy handwashing paranoia, is paranoia. No virus or flu has ever been like they say it is, they're lying to a big extent. Nothing wrong with being careful, but to hear the paranoia parrotted gets wearisome. God allowed it, so the thing for all of us is to repent and come to, and live, for the Lord. I'm not wanting to get into any continuing discussion on this, it's wearying, and pointless. God is in control, seek Him in all things.

@@christianchristian8916 You have some good points, but because the bible doesn't say exactly why certain practices of the day were a certain way, doesn't mean Allen's points were wrong. I've heard other preachers say the same things.
You seem to think you know when you weren't there. They have historical writings, you seem to think you know that can't be it. They did research, you don't even consider that. In honesty, I don't take you seriously, it's your opinion, not based on solid evidence. They have it, you don't. Learn to learn and let the Holy Spirit show you. It might surprise you, but not every word Jesus spoke is in the Bible, but the Holy Spirit can fill in all the missing pieces.
@@michaelalbertson7457 paul made his pt pretty clear. perhaps u need 2 read 1 cor 11 urself. 1 million preachers can say the same thing. doesnt make it right. if u really want 2 discern the scriptures, pray to the holy spirit 4 discernment
@@farealwitit7947 Honestly, everything that is NOT about living holy in Word and deed, is NOT a necessity for salvation.
Letters were written to various churches, that concerned a problem they were having, giving them advice on how to handle it, because it was becoming a problem.
I take historians' word for it on those matters, and if I'm not sure, because there is much contention on the subject, and it is an appearance thing, I don't think much on it. It has nothing to do with how I am to conduct my life.
Some people are so sure, that they try to legalistically force a belief on all, that most likely only applies to a certain amount of people. I try to let the Holy Spirit lead.
In praying, I feel no leading in the matter as far as doing it by one chapter in the bible, because the Holy Spirit isn't backing up what is said on the subject completely, in the sense of one must do it. Verse 16 says, "But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God." So, "Let everyone be persuaded in their own mind."
You'll learn the spirit in a person does not always match the outward appearance, yet sometimes it does. Let God show you.
The closer to Christ one gets, the more wisdom and truth they get from God.
@@michaelalbertson7457 Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, the error which it appears that you are making is that you put your trust and faith in the unknown "they" and the unknown "research" which they supposedly performed and use the unknown (or at least unmentioned) conclusions of unidentified men to overturn the revealed word of God, who should have your trust. For example, it's as if some random man who considers himself a scholar can say that he found one coin with a picture of a headcovering on it, conclude that that is the whole reason Paul gave the instruction, and people of your demonstrated inclination would just accept the conclusion because it was made by a 'so-called, scholar without doing what the Bible says: i.e, being like the Bereans and examining the claims based on the Words of God to see if the claims are true.
I encourage you to regard the Word of God higher than to allow any and every explanation by a random human to be justification for dismissing the Word of God.
Instead of just "trusting" that the 'supposed' evidence which the "scholars" base their conclusions on is trustworthy, and accepting their conclusions (especially when following their conclusions would result in your disobeying what seems to be the clear teaching of God through Scripture) perform due diligence and ask yourself:
1. Does the conclusion contradict the Word of God, as if it does, then it is wrong.
2. "What EXACT EVIDENCE have the scholars found?"
3. "Is the evidence which the scholars found sufficient to FULLY MAKE THE CASE for the conclusion that the scholars have arrived at, or have the scholars "jumped the gun" and made a conclusion that goes BEYOND THE CASE MADE BY THE EVIDENCE?"
IN THE CASE OF HEAD COVERINGS SPECIFICALLY, CONSIDER:
1. Paul said to imitate him, just as he imitates Christ (v.1)
2. The instructions which Paul gave, and the argument of those sixteen verses, were NOT for headship, but for 'KEEPING / PRACTICING THE HEADCOVERING TRADITIONS' (with headship being offered as justification for why they should 'KEEP THE TRADITIONS')
2. Scripture says that PAUL gave the head covering traditions / teachings TO THEM and SCRIPTURE GIVES NO OTHER ORIGIN FOR THEM
3. Scripture does not seem to indicate that Paul obtained the tradition from either the Jews or the non-Jews (as the Old Testament Law to the Jews never stated that a woman needed to pray or prophesy with her head covered, the Law said that the male priests were SUPPOSED to cover their heads with turbans, while Rebecca, ages beforehand, covered her head when presenting herself to Isaac, she had her head UNCOVERED while riding behind Abraham’s servant and there was no mention of her praying or prophesying in the text and there seems to be no scriptural evidence to imply that the apostle Paul would have encouraged Christians to adopt existing pagan worship practices in regards to praying or prophesying).
4. And ultimately, realize that even IF you found irrefutable evidence, from OUTSIDE of the Bible, of the existence of some pre-existing, universally-held, cultural significance to head coverings in the first century, it would not be enough to make the case that Paul BASED the head covering instructions on that cultural significance, as in order to make that case, you would need Scriptural evidence that Paul’s headcovering instructions were actually BASED on that cultural significance AS OPPOSED to being independent of and in spite of the cultural significance (for example, it cannot be said that Paul’s instruction to consume bread and wine during The Lord’s Supper [1 Corinthians 11:17-] was because of the pagan nations’ having worship feasts just because of the existence of pagans having worship feasts at the time, as Paul said that he instructed the consuming of bread and wine during the Lord’s Supper memorial because Jesus said to do so and did so; likewise, it cannot be automatically determined that Paul gave head covering instructions based on a HYPOTHETICAL, 1st century, universally-held, cultural head covering significance simply by nature of such hypothetical significance existing, ESPECIALLY in light of the fact that Paul said that the instructions were due to man’s being the glory and image of God (v. 7), due to the angels (v.10), honoring Christ (v. 3, 4) honoring the man (v. 3, 5) and supported by the example of nature itself (v. 13-15).
The Word of God is always applicable, we should never contort it based on the shifting of cultures and/or times. 1 Cor 11:2 - keep the traditions just as they were delivered; alternatively, 1 Cor 11:15 says her hair is given to her for a covering, if it's long... If we're being honest with ourselves and walking in the spirit as we should we would see that long hair doesn't hold the same weight in the symbol of authority as actually covering the head while praying/prophesying in the presence of angels. The freedom we're given in Christ should never be to suit our needs or comforts, but to submit to authority as it is written. Shalom.
Shalom
Dont know but i dont think the man or the woman will loose their salvation if the woman doesnt were a hat(or something that covers het head) in church.
Im also pretty sure peter talked about other Christian practices like going to church.Also the whole reason he said that was based on the people of what they did that time ,same with the old testaments like we dont have to do offers anymore and that we are allowed to eat pork.
@@dude9318 I agree no salvation will be lost, according to Paul's explanation in 1 Cor 11. I will say that it can be the difference between humility of spirit and haughtiness of heart. Some women are convicted and choose to cover their head in meekness, some don't. We all have to submit to authority and if it's within our reach and reason we should go that length, like Jesus did for us. There's no gain in saying if I don't have to, I'm not going to.
As far going to church, that is something we should do (Hebrews 10:24-25), even if it's simply gathering in your home for worship & prayer. I feel the church often confuses 'fulfilled' with 'done away with'; there's no judgment in eating pork if you're following Romans 14:1-12. I see the only difference between the old/new covenants is how we approach the throne of grace, the holy of holy's, is through Jesus Christ. TMH has already established what foods are clean and unclean, and he is not a God of confusion.
@@dgarcia5397 yeah i agree but i think the most important is to love God and Jesus and a good relationship
That’s right
Yes, her hair is her covering!
"But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering." ~ 1 Corinthians 11:15
Say that. Her hair is her covering
@@drappafrap Read the scripture again that was shared.
1 Corinthians 11:15
but if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her? For her hair is given to her for a covering.
God gave women long hair as a head covering. The Scriptures do not lie. Women should not be cutting their hair because it does not glorify God, nor does it glorify her husband.
Re read those passages slowly, thoughtfully and reverently asking God to show you and you will see that the covering being talked about is not hair.
Paul said if she doesn't want to cover her head let her shave it bald. If head cover is hair. And not covering meant not having hair. Then how can she be shaved baled and why is that a punishment if she already did it?
Is Paul just writing gibberish and stating obvious facts or answering a question?
Also does that mean ever man need to shave his head bald because we are praying with out head covered. Some of us with some lushis beautiful covering.
Then those who really believe the scripture this was and are not using it as an excuse because they don't want to feel a sign of authority over them. Tell every man in church they need to shave their heads bald.
@@icheko2498 I think I understand why orthodox Jewish women shave their heads after marriage and wear wigs. The wig is their head covering.
@@samanthalopez4874 hasidic women shave there head not as a sign for the angels. They don't accept the gospel, Paul wasn't writing a Jewish tradition but what God opened to him about what that sign means.
The hasidic women don't want ANY of their hair to show as a point of modest.
You gotta do “do Christian women have to keep long hair” next brother!!! Only if you’re led to though. I just think that’s a great topic too.
Yes! That's a good one. My dad wouldn't let me cut my hair growing up due to that passage.
That's a hard one, because there are women who literally can't grow long hair. It would be awful for them to be scorned, since it's already a sensitive issue (as in, some like my mom are losing their hair, and they are embarrassed already)
@@gohawks3571 I would have to agree! Some women just can't grow their hair out and like my mother are losing their hair.🙏
@@gohawks3571 i'm just 14 and i don't even think my hair can grow longer anymore lol. I wear braids a lot so whenever i take them out i just loose a bunch of hair. and when i tried to grow it out (didn't wear braids for a year) i just kept on loosing hair whenever i brushed it out lol it's a mess
@@semiology. Oh man, I'm so sorry! That's what I'm talking about; I know that there are people out there that just can't grow their hair. Don't worry about it- God knows the hairs on your head!

@@christianchristian8916 hmmm..good point brother
Simple question to ask ourselves. What does it take to cover our hair to express our love for God? I don’t think there is anything that anyone will lose if they cover hair. I feel it’s more of ego 😊
Instead of spending time in thinking about these cultural and traditional practices, our focus should be on building a strong and personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Let’s focus on what Jesus commanded - Love God and Love thy neighbour. And let people decide what they want to do with their own hair 😀

Can you tell me what verse says to cover your head.
I wish that we made it more part of our religion to cover our heads I used to to cover my head with a scarf when I prayed I’ll start doing it again 🙏🏽🙏🏽
In my church all woman cover their heads amen
I was hearing the Bible today; I stumbled about head covering. I feel called to do so. First, I'm going to use it to pray and worship. Eventually, I'm going to wear it all day. God willing
This is exactly what I did. I am Christian and I initially was led to cover when I was younger. I am now in my late 30s but I was called to cover starting at around 15 or 16. I covered on and off. I became more consistent with it once I hit 30. I Now cover full time. It's all about personal conviction.
I literally prayed for clearity about this last week... look at God!🙌🏾🙌🏾 Thanks bro❤️
So I take it you will start covering your head
Wearing something on my head never has stopped me from feeling Gods presence nor has he has ever convicted me for not wearing one like he has on other things ...I still pray in Holy spirit & etc...That has nothing to do with my Salvation & relationship with Christ ...You all need to pray to God for answers on this topic cause sometimes we interpret the bible based on feelings & not by Holy spirit....Tradition & Religion has been a mindset instead of just seeking & listening for God ....Its a choice its not a Sin to not wear a head coverings nor is it a bad thing it’s just a choice maybe it was something from Old Covenant we are not required to do that ...My church is a powerful Supernatural spirit filled place & we Don’t wear head coverings at all unless we just want to ...God bless 💕✝️
Question? Why is it that you still believe that point#4 (1 Corinthians 11:3) is still applicable for today's culture, but verses 4-16 of the same book and chapter are subject to the interpretation of culture? I do not believe Paul minced his words when he said what he said. To conclude the matter which he was addressing, in verse 16 he said, "But if anyone seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor do the churches of God." Notice Paul does not say "nor do the saints at Corinth only". He does say the "churches of God" does not practice the CUSTOMS of the people he was addressing. What was the custom? Well, it is the shaving (balding) or shorning (cutting short) the woman's hair and the wearing of the covering (veil). I assume he was teaching the Corinthian church so that they could be uniform with the rest of the "churches of God" that seemed to not have a problem. And seeing that 'churches of God" were popping up all over at this time, I am sure they came across many different cultures and customs, but a woman's covering was probably not an issue b/c Paul did not address it in the letters he sent to them. Just to prove this point, there are many women who STILL cover their heads today...Jewish, Muslim, Christian - Catholic, Pentecostal, Amish, and Mennonite just to name a few. This practice has crossed cultural, color and customary lines. Why? Because Paul said so and he was the mouthpiece of God. It's just the modern day Christian church that has the practice of teaching what is relevant or comfortable for the present time and not realizing that we serve a God who has declared that He changes not. We have to be careful to pick and choose what part of the bible or scriptures we choose to believe is relevant for today. The bible is not the Constitution of the US. It is God's HOLY WORD!! We cannot choose to amend his word because it does not make sense today or is not PC. "Do not add to or subtract from these commands I am giving you. Just obey the commands of the LORD your God that I am giving you." Deut. 4:2 NLT. If we still obey the commandments OT then we should still obey the commandments of NT!!
I wear a full headcovering anytime I'm in public or church when I studied the word it was laid on my hear to do so in submission to God ,so I fully knew I was making a conscious decision to do so I be live it is right and wise for women to do so and I've never regretted my decision. I wore church hats as a child anyway
Wearing a head covering is a choice not mandated by God...A piece of cloth has nothing to do with SALVATION I still feel his presence without one nor has he convicted me of not wearing one ...Certain cultures practice this ...Ask Holy spirit to guide you ..God bless 💕
@Chrinillan Jc I’m not Orthodox I just simply follow Jesus & have a relationship with him ..My power and weapon is Jesus & praying in tongues not a piece of cloth 🤷🏾♀️ God never revealed that I need a head covering ...I don’t follow a religious way of thinking that may have been at one time in the bible , but it’s not required to pray- I pray without a head covering & still feel Holy spirit a piece of cloth on my head has nothing to do with my Salvation, my relationship with Christ, saving Souls , nor getting into Heaven -I follow the Holy spirit , that may pertain to some individuals & if he says that I need to I will but otherwise I follow him & he hasn’t revealed that to me ...Some things are just religion and religious spirits that are dangerous in churches these days & doesn’t specifically come from Christ sometimes we interpret things our own way ...God Bless 🙏🏾
@Chrinillan Jc Oh ok
@Chrinillan Jc I’m not in trap of anything- I said I move by Holy spirit ...if someone feels they are led to cover their head go head then they should but I’m not -I’m not against anyone who does but is it mandatory , No!
I'm glad the word of God does not change because of cultural changes or personal preferences.
It is biblical and tied directly to creation. As we know, all things tied to creation is still in effect. My wife thinks differently than me, but at least we can talk about it.
What creation are you talking about and what it tied to creation
Creation argument, culture argument and nature argument are the building blocks of the apostle Paul to build his main theme, i.e. Headship, to solve the problem of contentious wives. These are the already accepted beliefs of Corinthians (regardless if they are objective/timeless truths or not... That is not the issue being addressed by Paul). Nothing in the epistle explicitly or implicitly mention that headcovering in itself is a commandment, and non observance of it will lose your salvation.
@@wisdomdesignedlife Well I am bound by the nature argument if it is truly nature.. But what is the nature argument. What nature argument are you referring to? You got to slow it down for the old folks
@@whatshatnin4572 Sorry about that. Here's the detail... The main principle for the whole pericope (1Cor11:2-16) is HEADSHIP. Particularly the HUSBAND is the head of the WIFE. It is to solve the problem in Corinth, there are contentious wives (verse 16 and succeeding chapters) that possibly offends Jews, Gentiles and other churches of God (Chapter 10:32). Head coverings, order of creation and long/short hair are just supporting arguments to solidify the main principle Paul is preaching. These are arguments from ALREADY ACCEPTED BELIEFS by Corinthians (regardless if they are subjective/objective truth) i.e. argument from CULTURE (headcovering), CREATION (Adam and Eve) and NATURE (Long/short hair as glory/shame).
It is NOT a problem in Corinth that there are women who do not cover their head, or do not believe in the order of creation, or that there are women that cut their hair short... they BELIEVE THESE ALREADY,.... reason why Paul used these already accepted belief to strengthen his argument that the husband is the head of the wife... in order to solve the REAL PROBLEM in corinth... i.e. contentious women that causes others to be offended.
In any case, the overriding principle is LOVE for your fellowmen, not to offend them so they can be saved (Chapter 10:33)
Paul's intention is NOT to require wearing of headcovering or long hair PER SE for all time, for all culture... But for all Christians for all time and culture to imitate him in observing the absolute truth of love or AGAPE (1Cor11:1), i.e. not to put a stumbling block to anyone towards worshiping God (1Cor10:32). And it is offensive to see contentious women in the church... Why? Because the husband (whose head is Christ) is the head of the wife. There are Corinthians who do not know or do not observe this PRINCIPLE (verse 3 starts with a reprimand "BUT I would have you know... ")
The three supporting arguments of Paul to build his main theme of headship, are merely symbols (NOT commandments on their own). Symbols with meanings (tied in their culture) that are COINCIDENTLY perfect to be used to illustrate TO THE CORINTHIANS why the husband should not be headed by the wife, and why the wife should be headed by the husband.
If things were different, for example, the problem of contentious wives happened here in the Philippines, Paul would have used different symbols/arguments to show what the God ordained headship in marriage looks like. Paul might have used that it is shameful for men to wear skirt (as it symbolizes a husband is being headed by his wife), this is the MEANING of this symbol in my country (at least more so in the 60's 70's).
Again, the problem is not about the non-observance of these symbols (headcovering, long hair) or non belief of the creation narrative. The problem is the non observance of some wives on the God ordained PRINCIPLE of headship that causes or might cause a stumbling block for others (Jews, Gentiles and churches of God).
This is a very convuluted passage on the point of view of someone living in 2021 with a very different cultural mindset. So historical, social, cultural, Biblical context is very important in order to have a coherent understanding of the Scripture.
I do not want to go in details about literal circumcision and other legalistic rituals that emphasizes on the outward appearance instead of the what is really important for God... THE INNER MAN. Something to think about.
Hope this helps. May God give us all the wisdom to discern His words.
Look up Tertullian's 'on the veiling of virgins'. He lived c. 155-240, so fairly close to the writing of the NT. He says that the head covering is not cultural and is for all women in the Church. I disagree with him on his reasoning regarding the angels, but his other points are excellent. He says that up to the point of his writing, all women in Corinth were wearing a head covering. So unless people want to say he was lying, his writing on the issue should be taken seriously.
People also fail to mention as part of the cultural argument that men acting as priests in pagan worship wore headcoverings (Ceasar covered his head with his toga). Neither do they mention that Jewish men began wearing the kippah (the little round cap) in response to Christianity to distinguish themselves. Or that other cultures have men that wear a turban. Nor that there are many statues of imperial married women with no head covering. None of these things are addressed. They take a very simplistic approach and only deal with one set of data. They close their eyes to the fact that Paul was writing to a multicultural city that had a sea port that saw people from all over who dressed and acted different.
Paul doesn't appeal to culture, he appeals to creation and says this is how it is in ALL the churches regardless of cultural norms.
Sir, very good! As you can see from the comments, this is still a very controversial, hot-button topic. You did a great job in your presentation. Methinks another video on this topic is "demanded", assessing the comments here. So, I welcome a "deeper dig", please. Thank you very much
Yes we need to cover our heads. Even when I am in my house and worshipping / praying.
No we don't
I loved reading all of the comments from women of God who aren't ashamed or insecure to wear a head covering or a sign of authority over them. Allen made an excellent point when he said that authority does not mean inferiority. We are all, men and women, under the authority of Christ. As believers, we are to do all things decently and in order. I have nothing but the utmost respect for any woman who does not try to challenge the God given role of a man/husband. It is something that softens a man's heart towards woman to see her allow the man to lead, and by the grace of God he is leading his wife and children, himself submitting and being lead by the Holy Spirit demonstrating love to his family.
My wife is wearing head coverings all the time, almost. The Word is clear. God is not a God of confusion, but peace. And is nice when you can spot a Godly women in the crowd. You know that women is your sister in Christ. Disagreements came from our stubbornness to do God’s will. The Word is clear, but we tend to look for excuses to do what we think is better for us.
God bless you all
Agree! 😊 i also cover my head... I am unmarried, but God is my Head😊
This brother Allen Parr is wrong and doesn’t even understand or know the origins of the head covering.
The head covering symbolises the covenant and authority of husband over the woman. It’s a covenant that was made to the seed of Abraham in Genesis 17.
The list of verses will clearly make you understand what message God is trying to covey about his covenant and commandments, he said those who love him will keep his commandments in John 14:15.
If Adam hadn’t eaten the fruit, God would forgave her because Adam was her head and as long as she had her covering (Adam) nothing would have happened. But because Adam disobeyed his head Christ and Eve disobey her head Adam, God had to punish them and death came to us. Then there is the trinity he keeps lying about, there’s no such thing as a trinity and the bible does not teach that. There God there’s the Father and the Son.
HEAD COVERING
1 Corinthians 11: 1-10
1 Timothy 2: 10-14
Numbers 30: 1-8 especially verse 5-8
Numbers 5: 12-14, 18
Ecclesiastes 5: 2-6
Genesis 24: 65 as soon as Rebekah saw Isaac she covered her head.
The head covering symbolises hierarchy of authority. If a man makes a vow unto the Lord he has to fulfill it. But if a woman does, the husband has the authority to make that vow null and void because her head is her husband and God will forgive it, Numbers 30: 1-8.
Paul’s teaching he was always referencing the Old Testament and teachings of Moses, when he went to the Corinthians, Ephesians & Galatians. The talked about the covenant of Abraham, the Ten Commandments, the dietary law, God’s feasts, his statutes and all.
Even Jesus would teach from the Old Testament he referenced Prophet Daniel, Law given to Moses so you need to read the whole book in its fullness. I’m currently reading my Bible in yearly cycles reading both the Old and New Testament at the same time. I’m on Joshua about to finish it. Let’s begin
When Rebekah asked Isaac’s servant who he was as soon as she was told it was his Master, she put her head covering Genesis 24:65. That was her respecting the word of God and the covenant since she is also part of the seed of Abraham. Moses was the one who wrote Genesis up to Deuteronomy having been also a seed of Abraham he did everything that was instructed Abraham in Genesis 17 even Jesus Christ did also because he is the seed of Abraham.
Only the seed of Abraham and the gentiles purchased by the blood of Jesus Christ that obeyed God’s commandments will inherit the kingdom of earth for eternity, it’s in Galatians 3 verse 15-29.
Verse 29 says:
29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
There is circumcision of the foreskin, and the heart (human mind)
Jesus is the seed of Abraham, he also was circumcised eight days after birth. Notice Genesis 17: 12-14 even the strangers that were bought by Abraham had to be circumcised.
Then you have Galatians 3: 13-29, that clearly explains what the seed of Abraham has to do and Jesus being the seed of Abraham he purchased Gentiles with his blood & verse 17 clearly clarifies that the covenant God made about the head covering, commandments, circumcision, feasts of the Lord, dietary law is still in full effect to this day and cannot be disannualed.
The head covering has nothing to do with sexuality it’s a covenant women are supposed to follow failure to do so they will get cut off once resurrection comes into the Lake of fire. For a woman it is a symbol of authority and submissiveness to their husbands as well as respecting the covenant of God who gave the authority to the husband over his wife.
It’s plain simple. Women preaching in church without head covering and lying about the spirit of the Lord being upon them, God will deal with them. This is what he said to those who didn’t obey his words and did what everyone else did.
Matthew 7: 21-23
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
All I can say is read your Bible 📖 people. Shalom.
I totally agree- and only the humble shall see it and be glad 😇!!
Correct
@@jarinxcii263 Sorry, sir. The blood of Jesus purchased my salvation. A woman cutting her hair does not put her in danger of hell fire. That's absurd, and there is NO Scripture that teaches that 🤦🏽♀️
I grew up Lutheran, and I can remember my mom wearing a hat to church. It was basically a smaller piece that was more decorative than functional. Hats are cool.
And, there is a gal at my church that likes to wear hats, I'm pretty sure it's a fashion statement with her and not anything religious.
She sure is cute in those hats, though! A different one every Sunday.
Is it displeasing to Jehovah if as a Christian single woman I don’t cover my head to pray? I don’t believe that not doing so will separate me from Jehovah! Thank you Jesus for the assurance that you will not leave me not forsake me. 🙏🏾
Amen Jacque. You are absolutely right. I am saddened at how many people want others to believe that we are under some sort of rule, which I believe is the enemy in trying to bring us to bondage.
It can be argued that the confusion about women having to wear a veil or something similar could be attributed to the Bible version one is using. For example some translations add the words “…a symbol…” while others do not. Also some use the word “wife” instead of “woman” or “husband” instead of “man.” Whereas other versions like the King James Version never uses the words “wife” or “husband.” For some the chapter supposedly refers only to married couples and still others believe it refers to men and women in general. In addition it delves into the creation order (See verses 8 and 9). A misunderstanding in just a few words can throw off the entire meaning of the chapter. Therefore, it’s best to use only the King James Version in this matter, which seems to be simpler and more concise.
* Where the problem usually begins…
If we follow those who subscribe to the doctrine of women wearing veils then it can be argued that the most often cited verse in this teaching is 1st Corinth. 11:5, which states:
“But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.”
According to those who believe women ought to wear veils this verse implies that a woman’s uncovered head is someone who does not wear a veil, is wrong for not doing so and assumes that such a person already has long hair. Therefore, the conclusion is that it must be referring to an “additional” covering. Another conclusion is that if a woman ought to be covered ONLY when praying and prophesying then it would seem as though it is something that can be taken on or off like a veil. But one should keep in mind that the word “veil” is not actually mentioned here neither anything that IMPLICITLY states that the covering is something can be placed on or taken off.
Here’s something to consider: imagine a woman with long flowing hair praying and prophesying without a veil. Would the lack of a veil really equate to someone as if they were shaven? Why would anyone come to this conclusion? It would seem a bit odd that a woman with long hair who is not wearing a veil should somehow be equated to being shaved. This is most certainly an odd thought pattern if we accept the veil interpretation. But it does fit the narrative of those who understand the word “uncovered” to mean “not covered in long hair” or simply put, “short hair.” Looking at a woman with short hair one can easily say that she might as well be shaven. So be honest, doesn’t it make more sense that if a woman is uncovered (meaning has short hair) would be more closely relatable to being shaven than someone with long hair “without” a veil to be equated to being shaved? To put it in another way it is not a big leap to make the correlation between short hair to being shaven, unlike being asked to make a GIGANTIC LEAP OF LOGIC that an unveiled woman (even with long flowing hair) is somehow equated to being shaved.
* Is the Covering Long Hair or a Veil? …..
If we examine all the verses from verse 4 to 15 without bias we should at least conclude that the passages have something to do with the physical heads of both men and women. The question we should ask is: Are they referring to hair that covers the head or some kind of veil? Some will even say both, but if we carefully examine verse 15 it would seem that we would be getting a clearer picture of what was being referred to in the earlier verses when it mentions the words, “covered,” “cover” and uncovered."
“But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her FOR a covering."
If the covering is long hair then to be “covered” which is synonymous to “covering,” should be understood as long hair as well. Then it makes sense when it says that it is shameful or dishonorable for a man to pray or prophesy with his head “covered” because they are referring to long hair. Now logically speaking wouldn’t being “uncovered” or “not covered” then mean short hair? Therefore, if to be covered refers to “long hair” then the opposite should be true, in that to be “uncovered” should be understood as having “short” hair.
* You Should Naturally Know Right From Wrong by Just Looking….
If these verses do not move you yet then here’s one that should definitely blow your mind. Paul asks you to make a judgment call in verse 13 as if one should naturally see a problem because he asks you to:
"Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?"
If “covering” really meant a veil then one would have to explain why anyone would possibly come up with judgment that a woman praying or prophesying WITHOUT A FABRIC VEIL ON THEIR HEAD WOULD LOGICALLY OR NATURALLY LOOK WRONG? Someone needs to explain this logically. Be honest, does looking at someone doing this naturally create a thought that a veil is missing? I have never seen or heard anyone say: "What a shame she is not wearing a veil on her head” after looking at a woman with long hair while praying or prophesying, that would be ludicrous. There is no NATURAL or NORMAL reasoning to make such a judgment. But if the word “uncovered” were to mean "short hair." then it would make logical sense. Because if I see a woman who has a manly haircut doing these holy things like we read in verse 5, then I can naturally judge that something doesn’t look right. Also, the very next verse continues this line of thinking that things should be obvious to understand by mere observation in nature.
"Doth not even NATURE itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him." 1st Corinthians 11:14
Note that verses 13 and 14 are two consecutive questions both of which asks you to NATURALLY ASSUME that there something wrong by SEEING a woman’s head to be uncovered (meaning having short hair) and a man having long hair (meaning being covered). I would like to also add that it is NOT jumping from a “veil” in 13 and then suddenly to “hair” in 14 like some would like to suggest, because you will note that verse 15 refers back again to the woman which FLAT OUT STATES the “covering” to mean “long hair.” Therefore there is NO EXCUSE to not understand the previous verses.
By this simple understanding we can then understand the part where it states that it is shameful or dishonoring for a man to pray or prophesy with his head covered, meaning covered in long hair, like in verses 4:
“Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.”
This “dishonoring” of the head fits perfectly with verse 14 where it mentions that it is “shameful“ for a man to have long hair, therefore the topic is the same throughout the verses in that the head covered in this verse refers to “long hair. ”
I should also add that these verses in NO WAY imply that the covering on the man can be placed on or taken off, like some like to argue. It’s SIMPLY SAYING that it is a dishonor if a man prays or prophesies in LONG HAIR. The same should be understood in verse 7:
“For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.”
Again, they are NOT implying something that can be put on or taken off but that the man should not cover his head (with long hair) and the reason because he is the image and glory of God. This same idea should be included in the verses that refer to women like in verse 6:
“For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.”
This verse is often misinterpreted like verse 5 when it’s simply mentioning in the same tone as the previous verse that if a woman has short hair then let her head be shaved BUT if it is a shame to be shaven let her be covered in long hair. It’s really not complicated once you understand what it means to be covered or uncovered. Everything else starts to make sense when you read the other verses knowing that they are referring to hair.
I can only imagine how lost one must be when they are stuck on one or two verses that to them seems questionable but not take into consideration all the other verses that point to the “covering” as long hair and “uncovered” to mean short hair. Therefore, given all this logic and proof, how can one conclude that they are referring to a hat, bonnet or veil?
Again, how can one have logical judgments or conclusions that by merely looking at a long-haired woman performing such holy acts without a veil that one would automatically assume that there is something off? It makes no logical sense. Therefore, the whole veil doctrine is wrong, it cannot be substantiated and should be rejected.
1 Corinthians 11:15 says her hair is given for a covering. Her long hair is a glory to her.
Amen
Basically every woman who was in the transition period between the wearing of a covering and not wearing it was not doing God's will. But the ones before, who did wear it and the ones after, who did not, they all have done God's will. But when does the transition start? Is it with the first woman who refused to wear it? Or is it when a certain number is reached? And what is that number? See? If it's written black on white, then it's required, it's not culturally.
Thank you for this video, my wife and I have been looking at this passage a lot this past week and trying to understand it. But I did have one question, how does culture fit into verse 10 of this passage? "That is why a wife ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels."-ESV This seems to imply it is more than cultural.
That's wonderful you and your wife are looking into Biblical topics together! May God bring you closer to Him and to each other during your research 😊
The issue was should women pray or prophesy with thier hair uncovered, you forgot to mention the part about the angels! What does that mean, I feel led to pray with my head covered.
I wear a head covering at church, for praying and reading the Bible.
The Bible said whoa to the shepherd that's the sheep astray you are trying to send good people to hell
Wearing something on my head NEVER has stopped me from feeling Gods presence nor has he has ever convicted me for not wearing one like he has on other things ...I still pray in Holy spirit & etc...That has nothing to do with my Salvation & relationship with Christ ...You all need to pray to God for answers on this topic cause sometimes we interpret the bible based on feelings & not by Holy spirit....Tradition & Religion has been a mindset instead of just seeking & listening for God ....Thats you alls choice its not a Sin to not wear a head coverings nor is it a bad thing it’s just a choice maybe it was something from Old Covenant we are not required to do that ...My church is a powerful Supernatural spirit filled place & we Don’t wear head coverings at all unless we just want to ...God bless 💕✝️
14 Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, 15 but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering. The long hair is given to the woman as a covering
This was good & right on time! It has been about a month since I've wearing a head covering. I read, studied and prayed for years about this. I'm know convinced I should wear one.
A few points I have.
As a single woman, my first husband is Christ. So I honor Him through covering my head. Also, the Bible says woman ought to cover their head while praying and prophesies. We should pray always without ceasing. 1 Thessalonians 5: 17
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. Proverbs 31:30 For me the reason I still have a desire not to wear a head covering is because I think I would look better without it. I have to create a outfit that looks nice with my head covering.
The Holy Spirit helped my finalized decision with ,"Nevertheless, each person should live as a believer in whatever situation the Lord has assigned to them, just as God has called them. This is the rule I lay down in all the churches."
1 Corinthians 7:17 NIV
A head covering is not a requirement. A woman's hair is her covering. At the end of his advice on what they asked about, Paul said if anyone wants to argue about it, that they have no such tradition.
1 Corinthians 11:15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering. 11:16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
@@vonzilla2082 Thank you. Since I wrote this comment I read and studied more to see if I was misinterpreting what was written. And I think probably was.
@@shayla__b Amen 🙌🏾
I love love love being submissive to God's ordinances and love-filled commands He has spoken to us through His Word. I'm thankful, so much, to God, for His Truths and His Holy Spirit leading me in all the Way. I can only imagine seeing Him face to face one day, and thanking Him in person. Hallelujah* God bless everyone. P.s. I do cover my head from morning to bedtime. I am sure that God has spoken to us for all generations till He comes. I believe I cover BECAUSE of the ANGELS as God has said clearly. Prayers and Prophecies are coming to us via heaven and, including God's Holy Spirit, and if my "head" is covered, it is showing the authority that I have been given in Christ, it is a sign of authority to the angels. Men already have Christ as their Head. Women only have man as their head. BUT CHRIST is over all, in all and through all in the Body of Christ's. So I cover "man's" head to HONOR CHRIST as my head. Jesus Christ Is The Head Of The Church. Everyone must honor Him as such. This offended some men and therefore Paul addresses that issue especially making sure men understand at his closing on the subject. Because I have been given authority by God to pray and prophecy, and because this authority does not come from my husband or from any man therefore I must cover man's head in order to honor God and Jesus Christ, my Lord. But man does not have to cover his head because he already is honoring Christ since Christ is his head. Because the man stands between the woman and Christ she must cover her head which is covering the man so that she can bring glory to Jesus Christ and the honor showing that he is the Head of the whole body, in the church before the angels. To honor Christ is our highest calling, and no man should ever try to take that honor and glory to himself. Shame on him if he does.
God bless everyone and give to you wisdom from Heaven.
Wearing something on my head never has stopped me from feeling Gods presence nor has he has ever convicted me for not wearing one like he has on other things ...I still pray in Holy spirit & etc...That has nothing to do with my Salvation & relationship with Christ ...You all need to pray to God for answers on this topic cause sometimes we interpret the bible based on feelings & not by Holy spirit....Tradition & Religion has been a mindset instead of just seeking & listening for God ....Thats you alls choice its not a Sin to not wear a head coverings nor is it a bad thing it’s just a choice maybe it was something from Old Covenant we are not required to do that ...My church is a powerful Supernatural spirit filled place & we Don’t wear head coverings at all unless we just want to ...Wearing a head covering is a choice not mandated by God...A piece of cloth has nothing to do with SALVATION I still feel his presence without one nor has he convicted me of not wearing one ...Certain cultures practice this ...Ask Holy spirit to guide you ..💕God bless 💕✝️
Yes I covering my head when I am praying I feel more connected with Holy Spirit .

Such an American way to address a straightforward passage by Paul. No other teaching is dismissed because it was just a custom or apart of the culture at that time. If stalwarts of the faith down through the years such as Augustine, Martin Luther, John Calvin, Charles Spurgeon, Martin Lloyd-Jones and RC Sproul all held to the teaching of head coverings that should be a sign that the church has gone off course. Up through the 1800s most commentaries supported head covering and most churches in America practiced head covering up until the feminism movement. Meanwhile other eastern religions and countries that were not effected by the feminism movement still cover their heads.
I clicked so fast Ive been wondering about this!
I have been having a "pull" from the lord leading me to stop cutting my hair and putting chemicals on it and i would like to start covering my head.... So i came on here to see how people have interpreted the scripture... I keep getting pulled to do so. So ill pray on it and meditate more and see where he wants me to go
HIS POINTS DO NOT SEEM TO MATCH WHAT THE SCRIPTURE SAYS. HERE IS THE REPLY I GAVE HIM:
YOU MADE MANY INCORRECT POINTS: 1. You ask if it is the PRINCIPLE or the PRACTICE, which is important, but in 1 Corinthians 11:2, Paul praises the Corinthians for "HOLD [ING] FIRMLY to the traditions, JUST AS [HE] HANDED THEM DOWN TO [THEM]" (communicating that the actual PRACTICE is important}.
2. You state that practices may differ based on cultures or where you live, but Paul says that THE PRACTICE is to be performed DUE TO MAN BEING THE IMAGE AND GLORY OF GOD, WOMAN BEING THE GLORY OF MAN, WOMAN BEING MADE FOR MAN AND BECAUSE OF THE ANGELS, which means that IT IS NOT BASED ON CULTURE, BUT ON THE NATURE AND PURPOSE OF MANKIND'S CREATION AND THE EXISTENCE OF THE ANGELS (v. 7-10), and SINCE THOSE REASONS STILL EXIST, SO DOES THE EXPECTATION TO PERFORM THE PRACTICES.
3 NOTHING IN 1 CORINTHIANS 11:1-16 says that the instructions are for PUBLIC GROUP WORSHIP, as:
a) Paul says "EVERY man" and "EVERY woman" without (even once) giving any indication as to venue
b) verse 16 says that "if anyone is inclined to be contentious, we have no such practice, NOR DO THE CHURCHES OF GOD", implying that he was addressing all INDIVIDUAL BEHAVIOR (as opposed to saying 'neither do the OTHER churches of God [which WOULD HAVE indicated that he was solely addressing 'IN-CHURCH BEHAVIOR'])
c) Paul doesn't start talking about behavior DURING PUBLIC WORSHIP UNTIL VERSE 17, when he gives instruction about 'The Lord's Supper' as he mentioned FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES, that he was ADDRESSING PUBLIC WORSHIP BY STATING: "For first indeed, of you COMING TOGETHER IN AN ASSEMBLY" (v. 18), "of you COMING TOGETHER IN ONE PLACE" (v. 20), "do you despise THE CHURCH OF GOD" (v. 22) and "COMING TOGETHER in order to eat" (v. 33) (which is why all examples which you gave for instructions for 'group worship' come from AFTER 1 Corinthians 11:16).
4. You said that in that culture, a woman with a covered head showed submissiveness to her husband, therefore a man who covers his head shows submission to someone else, is reversing roles and blurring gender lines; HOWEVER, THE SCRIPTURE DOESN'T SAY ANY OF THAT, or that the instructions were based on that. There is no mention of 'blurring gender lines' or 'role reversal', but the propriety of the practice due to the nature and purpose of the creation of mankind and because of the angels (v. 7-10).
5. You said that a woman who does not cover her head dishonored her husband, but THE BIBLE DOES NOT SAY THAT "HEAD" EXCLUSIVELY REFERS TO A "HUSBAND", BUT TO "MAN". JUST AS GOD IS THE HEAD OF CHRIST, BUT IS NOT CHRIST'S HUSBAND (BUT HIS FATHER), HEAD may refer to an authoritative man (possibly, whether living or dead) WHO IS NOT THE WOMAN'S HUSBAND.
6. You claim that in our culture women can shave their head and no stigma is attached, so it is O.K. for them to pray or prophecy uncovered, but, it only takes one generation to normalize a practice which is wicked (such as transgenderism in this generation) so normalization of a practice WHICH THE BIBLE SAYS IS SHAMEFUL (v. 5) is not a bar for holiness as gender lines started crossing a few decades ago [but even today, a woman can still see a natural shame in one's shaving her head bald]. Further, 1 Corinthians 11:1-16 state, several times, that the instructions are to be followed, for multiple reasons; but never said a woman does not have to follow the instructions if they do not find a shaven head to be shameful.
7. You said that many theologians believe that , in that culture, prostitutes had their heads shaved (though you stated that there is no solid proof for that) and said that the shaved head communicated immoral culture, rejecting femininity and that a woman praying with her head uncovered was demonstrating same level of rebellion as a prostitute HOWEVER, NOT ONLY DOES THE BIBLE NOT STATE ANY OF THAT, but, even IF temple prostitutes shaved their heads, THE BIBLE DOES NOT SAY THAT THE HEAD COVERING INSTRUCTIONS ARE BASED ON THE PRACTICE OF TEMPLE PROSTITUTES (or, as an example: construction workers do not wear hats because America likes fashionable hats / there is no direct connection between the two), AND THESE SCRIPTURES DO NOT MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT SEXUAL IMMORALITY, BEING AVAILABLE TO OTHER MEN OR TAKING DOWN THE HAIR, SO you are IGNORING THE SCRIPTURAL REASONS for the practices (the nature and purpose of the creation of mankind and the existence of the angels) and NEGATING GOD'S SCRIPTURAL INSTRUCTIONS, based on REASONS THAT THE SCRIPTURE DOES NOT PROVIDE.
I think it’s a beautiful sign of respect to Gods Headship in our lives. And helps us to remember where we stand in his arrangement as women. It’s something I’m going to incorporate into my life. Because I want to show God that I love his arrangement! ❤
...because the hair instead of a covering hath been given to her...
In your own selves judge ye; is it seemly for a woman uncovered to pray to God? doth not even nature itself teach you, that if a man indeed have long hair, a dishonour it is to him? and a woman, if she have long hair, a glory it is to her, because the hair instead of a covering hath been given to her;...
-Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
Does even nature itself not teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him, but if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her? For her hair is given to her as a covering.
-NASB
A woman's long hair is the 'covering'.

Mary then took a pound of very expensive perfume of pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped His feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. But Judas Iscariot, one of His disciples, the one who intended to betray Him, said, “Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred denarii and the proceeds given to poor people?” Now he said this, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief, and as he kept the money box, he used to steal from what was put into it. Therefore Jesus said, “Leave her alone...

@@8784-l3b I’m not sure what you’re trying to imply here with this but we can wear head covering if we want too it’s our choice whether or not to do it . There’s people who don’t have long hair so wearing it could protect our hair or just give glory to God
@@SharlenesJourney
Mary couldn't have done what she did if she was wearing a
full-on complete head covering.
There was no law in the Old Covenant.
Jesus never taught about it.
If this is being done for spiritual reasons, as for praying,
my opinion based on scripture, is that you stop.
***********************************************
As I've posted to others in the past:
If a woman needs to touch and pick up something physical, before
acceptable communication with deity can happen, that would make
the fabric covering a talisman. Though the woman would not believe
she is using a talisman.
talisman (basic definition)- a piece of clothing (or other physical object) that is
believed to have spiritual (or magical) properties. The object will align
with your intention for its use. Every time you look at a talisman, your
mind will recall the original intention of its use, until wearing it becomes
a necessary ritual.
*************************************************
“Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. You gave me no kiss, but from the time I came in she has not ceased to kiss my feet. You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment. Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven-for she loved much.
-excerpt Luke 7
We are supposed to cover our heads at all times because 1 Thessalonians 5:17 states to “pray without ceasing”.
This one is gonna be interesting!
It’s really a choice or preference with certain traditions ...I know the Spirit of God dwells at my church home & we DO NOT wear head coverings I hear this so often - it’s not a Sin has nothing to do with a relationship with Christ I still feel his presence w/o head covering but if you want to nothings wrong with it but not a requirement doesn’t hinder a relationship with Christ nor does it have anything to do with your Salvation 🙌🏾✝️
God is the same God as of today and yesterday his word Don't never change....He say things for a reason...
Yes sir I sure do. I have been doing it for almost 40 years. The bible is quiet clear about it.
