I love that: “what did it mean for their culture? What does it mean for ours?”
If it’s disgraceful doesn’t mean culture it means it is.
Yeah, its like saying "if it is wrong to mistreat others, then do not do it." Its rhetorical and it doesn't mean that if its wrong in your culture because cultures can change yet GOD's Word never changes. I think Paul has done this in other passage(s) as well but im not sure.
Wow, I must agree this guy goes into culture deeply. Can you imagine having to "translate" the Bible every time to "fit" the culture we live in now. Who gave this guy the stage or where did he get his degree from a gum dispenser? And he tries to claim that the cover BOTH refers to hair and some kind of head covering. Pick one or the other otherwise how can one understand the Bible? Thank God he doesn't have many subscribers, because he is making things up without any proof. Like the bald prostitutes, where is that in the Bible? I think this guy believes any book he reads other than the Bible. Talk about DISORGANIZED RELIGION, LOL.
Paul never used the word confusing! This passage is so clear and NOT confusing.
Right
This section isn't tricky at all. It's extremely clear.
The Bible transcends human culture. Paul is NOT saying that you should go along with the culture around you, but the culture of Heaven. The angels covering themselves is a sign of honor towards God. Lucifer FELL because he refused to cover himself anymore. He wanted to show off his beautiful design.
In the same way that angels and men are under God's authority, women are. But because they have different roles, and were the compliment to man/ helpmeet to man, there's an additional layer of protection, of submission, and of honor given to women.
Verse 15 uses a different word where it says covering than the rest of the text in 1 Corinthians 11. In the Septuagint (Greek translation of OT), if you look at Esther 6:12, you can see the same word for a FABRIC covering as Haman realizes his shame. In Genesis, when Rebecca sees Isaac coming towards her, she makes sure to cover her head. So you can see that this is NOT about the Corinthians alone.
The text even says that if you have any arguments against covering (for women) and uncovering (for men)... against headship authority, its acknowledgement and implementation, that there is no other custom in the church.
We cannot be salt and light if we're just like everyone else.
1 Cor 11 follows on the 3 chapter teaching (8,9 &10) of how a Christian should not do things, even if they have the right, that would cause a weaker brother to "stumble". Chapter 13 will give love as the ultimate reason for doing this. In between those chapters this section occurs -a chapter on why a woman living in Corinth in AD 70 should not just consider her "right" as a Christian to behave in a certain way (head uncovered in the assembly) but also consider the culture around her - hence wearing a head covering. Paul gives an answer to this question - submit to the local culture because you don't want someone to stumble, submit out of respect for your husband, and submit ultimately out of love (love seeks not its own). In 2023, in the Unites States, the head covering no longer has the same meaning in it once did (and still does) in other parts of the world. But there might be other ways culturally a woman would need to acquiesce to in order to demonstrate the principles in this section of scripture.
You need to take the Rebecca part out because she was in the presence of the men and the servant and her maidens and when her future husband was coming then she put on the covering then hmmm. Also for the men Didn't God order Aaron and his sons to wear Bonnets while serving the Lord and in his PRESENCE. A man has long hair then he's covered if a woman has short hair then she's uncovered and vise versa. Long hair is a woman's covering everyone trying to tap dance....
@@outdoor07Your explanation is a false invention of the post 1960’s modern church. Martin Luther, John Calvin, and all others during the reformation taught veiling applied to the church of that day. Your explanation is false and historical unorthodox.
Woe to you false teacher.
😅sorry my culture isn't like that. Head covering is culture of heaven just to make truth to oppressed womans.
You are a liar sir. It says EXPLICITLY it is because of authority and because of the angels. There is nothing "cultural" in the Biblical text. It's very clear and you are making it cultural to explain it away and not offend or lose butts in seats. Don't add to Gods word or your lies will be called out. What else do you lie about I wonder? This blurring of lines and mincing of very clear words is deceptive and self serving. It is the "nature" of things which the writer takes all the way back to creation itself.
He IS a LIAR. I’m not standing for this anymore. This false teachers need to be exposed. Woman are out of control in this country. They have lost all respect for men, and it’s guys like this that have encouraged it with false teachings like this.
Paul gives reasons for the head covering that transcends cultural limitations...
I agree that it transcends cultural limitations. This guy doesn't really follow the logic of the Bible.
Regarding the covering it is very simple. 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 some this verse implies that a woman’s uncovered head is someone who does not wear a veil. That they are wrong for failing to wear it 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 a woman ought to be covered ONLY when praying and prophesying then it would seem as though it is something that can be placed on or taken off like a veil.
If there where only two exclusive moments then one should have no problem if an “unveiled” woman speaks in tongues, interprets tongues, heals the sick, casts out devils, etc., right? Following such logic it stands to reason that the other instances that I mentioned should be acceptable WITHOUT a veil, right? Now should they say NO, then they should admit that there may be more instances; thereby making the argument that the covering is removable based on two conditions, to be false. Please keep in mind that the word “veil” is not actually mentioned here, neither anything that EXPLICITLY states that the covering is something can be placed on or taken off. People ASSUME this because they are misreading scripture.
So what can we say about this? Just that Paul was giving us a couple of examples of how doing something HOLY or GODLY does not look right if she is uncovered, in other words not covered in long hair.
Let’s follow the logic of verse 5 in a real life scenario. 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? Did people really look at unveiled women as someone shaved? I am not saying this to be funny, but people have literally stated that an unveiled woman was likened to being shaved. Given that this comparison seems illogical one should consider that someone may be reading it wrong. For if “uncovered” means “short hair” then it fits the narrative of those who understand the word “uncovered” to mean “not covered in long hair,” (aka short hair) then the verse would make more sense in that a woman with short hair might as well be shaved, since it is already short.
So be honest, doesn’t it make more sense that an “uncovered” woman means a woman with short hair? Wouldn’t that be MORE closely relatable to being “shaven” than to someone who has long hair but not wearing a veil? In other words it is not a big leap to make the correlation between short hair to being shaven than to being asked to make a GIGANTIC LEAP OF LOGIC that an unveiled woman is somehow equal to being shaved. Please don’t dismiss this logic think about it for a minute.
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 as well as headship. Bit as far as the physical head is concerned the question we should ask is: When they refer to “covered,” “cover,” “uncovered” and “covering” are they referring to long or short hair or some kind of veil? Some will even say all of the above, 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 the words “covered” or “cover” which are 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 being covered in 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. Some people will try to complicate this matter by addressing the Greek translation. If we are to make an exegesis to the words presented to us in the Bible then we should be able to easily understand them without having to start studying Greek.
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?"
Paul is asking us to make a judgment. Based on what? The only option is based on observation. Therefore, if “covering” really meant a veil or to be uncovered would mean to be without a veil, then one would have to explain in detail why a FABRIC VEIL would pop up into the average person’s mind when observing a woman praying? Why would you or I look at someone and think that a veil is missing and that it doesn’t look right? Someone needs to explain this logically. Again, don’t dismiss this think about it.
Does looking at a woman 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, that would be ludicrous. One would have to be literally BRAINWASHED to think that the average person would EVER think that a SEPARATE OBJECT such as a veil would be missing on such a woman’s head. 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. For if I were to observe a woman who has a short haircut doing these holy things like we read in verse 5, then I can naturally judge (by sight) 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 or NORMALLY ASSUME or JUDGE that there is something wrong by OBSERING a woman’s head to be uncovered (having short hair) while praying and a man being covered (having long hair). 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 note that verse 4 in NO WAY implies that the covering on the man can be placed on or taken off, like some like to argue, due the aforementioned false interpretation that the verse is being exclusive to two actions instead of seeing them as two examples. As stated before this verse simply states that it is dishonoring if a man does something holy or godly like praying or prophesying while covered 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, ESPECIALLY in this verse, as it offers no examples or “supposed” exclusive conditions. In this instance it is to be understood 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 is simply mentioned 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.
Too many people get stuck on just a couple of words that vaguely seem like some kind of headwear but do not take into consideration all the other verses that show that the “covering” means long hair and that the word “uncovered” is to mean short hair. Also, please keep in mind that there are various sections that would not make sense if you try to force the idea of veils. Therefore, how can one conclude that they are referring to a hat, bonnet or veil?
One can usually observe how hip the church scene looks and guess the pastors hermeneutic on Corinthians 11 😂. Amazing how that works
@@FA-God-s-Words-MatterAbsolutely agree
Yahweh is not a respecter of men so for believers it's never about his word adjusting to our various cultures but us conforming to the biblical culture and that is what the bible says when it commands "Be ye not conformed to the " things" of this world but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind" things of this world include the various norms acceptable from culture to culture but not so in scripture. Just obey, simple, tell your women to cover their heads l, simple instruction in righteousness. What is wrong with this new age Christianity, I wonder, always trying to interpret scripture to suit our disobedience instead of taking it as it is. No wonder the bible says these are the last days, indeed they are. Shame.
😅they never said veil or hat
That's not what the Bible is saying. It says In verse 2 "I praise you for remembering me in everything and for holding to the traditions just as I passed them on to you" He is saying we should continue in the tradition. Also verse 5 "But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head- it is the same as having her head shaved" They are using head shaving as an EXAMPLE of what it's like to not have your head covered, therefore you can't say that not having hair is what they're talking about.
There is the often misconception that verse 6 doesn’t make sense if one were to believe in long hair as the covering. As one person put it in a comment in a TH-cam video:
“If a woman doesn’t have long hair let her cut her hair? That just doesn’t make sense.”
In other words, they are under the impression that one is confused when explaining verse 6 because why would Paul say that one should cut the woman’s hair if it was supposedly already cut? Therefore, this explanation does not make sense as it seems to be repetitive, but this is not being understood correctly. As said before not being covered (aka uncovered) means having short hair but that does not mean that it cannot be cut shorter or shaved off. I have short hair, but neither is it a buzz cut or shaved off bald.
Therefore, even though I have short hair it doesn’t mean that it cannot be cut even shorter or shaved bald.
So now it is important to understand what shorn and shaven mean. The word “shorn” is the same word used when you shear sheep. A stubble is left behind. And shaven implies using a razor which implies that all the hair would be taken clean off. Note that the word “shorn” is repeated alongside the word “shaven” in the KJV as if to confirm and clarify that Paul is referring has to do with something extreme and that it causes shame.
Obviously cutting off an inch of hair is not going to cause shame therefore the meaning implies something more. And since both words imply seeing the scalp he must be referring to baldness. A quick look at any dictionary will show that these words are synonymous. Therefore, by mentioning these words side by side Paul would seem to be emphasizing the fact that women with short hair may as well be made bald.
Yet some refuse to see the obvious logic and will claim that it doesn’t mean baldness but just that it simply means cut, brushing aside the fact that it has a capacity of causing shame, but they don’t do the due diligence of research. For example, the SAME word “shorn” is used when Paul makes a vow and cuts off his hair. I don’t think any normal person reading this would assume that Paul took an inch off his hair right? No, it was common back then that when someone was serious about a vow, they would do a serious act like cutting ALL their hair off. There is nowhere to run away from this, shorn just like shaven has to do with baldness.
It would also be very difficult to claim that Paul was speaking metaphorically as hair seems to be the main theme here and the removal thereof repeatedly. Why would he repeat the words shaved or shorn unless he was being literal? I think most of us can agree that having short hair (like in a typical male haircut) is NOT the same as having their hair shorn or shaven aka bald. Therefore, a woman being “uncovered” simply means that she has short hair and that in doing so she might as well shave the REST of her hair off. It’s not that 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.
Unfortunately, people tend to get stuck on just a couple of words that vaguely seem like some kind of headwear but do not consider all the verses that show that “covering” means long hair and that “uncovered” means short hair. Therefore, given all this logic and proof, how can we conclude that they are referring to a hat, bonnet, or veil?
Well, that went nowhere.
Its about Christian Church culture, NOT "my" flesh culture because what may be ok in my "flesh" culture may go against Christ/God Spirit kingdom culture!
Thank God for Jesus!
Thanks for this. I've also noticed that they always justify head coverings with just the "culture of Corinth". Though the letter was written to the church at Corinth, verse 16 also makes it clear that the instruction was also for the churches of God.
1st Corinthians 11 Vs 16 - "But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither do the churches of God".
Those churches had different cultural norms from Corinth.
It's difficult for those who do not understand English 😁
You cannot explain the things you don't know. the original translation of the renewed covenant is Greek with Jewish heritage and tradition.. learn Hebrew Mr.preacher.
Please view on you tube: 1 Corinthians 11:1-16: Head Covering Debate: The Greater Glory Revealed: Part 1Please view on you tube: 1 Corinthians 11:1-16: Head Covering Debate: The Greater Glory Revealed: Parts 1-8
Do we truly desire for all glory to go to God?
The woman's hair is her glory. She's instructed, clearly, to cover her glory(her hair) in corporate worship because the angels are eagerly watching she needs authority on her head. Only God's glory should be seen during prayer and prophecy.
Is it really that hard to understand?
Man is the glory of God, why would you cover God's glory?
Why would we not cover another glory to allow for only God's glory to be seen?
Judge for yourself, would it be ok for a woman to be displaying her glory when all glory is to go to God??
Ephesians 3 Paul says "I was chosen to explain to everyone this mysterious plan that God, the Creator of all things, had kept secret from the beginning.
God’s purpose in all this was to use the church to DISPLAY HIS WISDOM IN ITS RICH VARIETY TO ALL THE UNSEEN RULERS AND AUTHORITIES IN THE HEAVENLY PLACES. This was His eternal plan, which He carried out through Christ Jesus our Lord."
Because the angels are watching, we have an obligation to do what is written to us because we are being studied and we represent Christ!! Because it's an apostolic teaching in the New Covenant. Because God gets ALL THE GLORY.
If we ever want to see the power of God displayed in the church we need to understand the headship order and order of authority and the spiritual realm!! We need to let His glory shine!!
I just just doesnt know what he is saying and tryna desegree with bible but some how explain that i agree with bible. The holy book says cover your head ladies in the most clear way.
You are a liar sir. It says EXPLICITLY it is because of authority and because of the angels. There is nothing "cultural" in the Biblical text. It's very clear and you are making it cultural to explain it away and not offend or lose butts in seats. Don't add to Gods word or your lies will be called out. What else do you lie about I wonder?
1 Corinthian's 11:15 NKJV and 11:16 NKJV,
The bible says that Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forevermore! CULTURE does not change the word of GOD!!!!!!!! Paul says nothing about prostitutes in this passage. He made it every clear. Man always infers their opinion upon scripture is wild.
God clearly says in the torah,bible,quran to cover your hair if you can't do it pray to do it one day.
Wow it amazes me that you could care less that all three can be at odds with each other so long as they agree to covering the head. I guess it doesn't matter to you about the truth about salvation through Jesus. FYI the Bible is referring to long hair not to a synthetic covering.
LoL One Pastor on TH-cam, says the Corinthians are messed up, so they have to wear head coverings. And then he calls the holy kiss, an offence to him, because of the perversions, within his own church, some oddly balding guy. Have you seen that one?
Let's catch yours now. ( I'm unhappy with people opposing Scripture instructions, without Scriptures, woe to them guys )
Proverbs 6:13
“He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;”
King James Version (KJV)
I wouldn’t take this as belittling, as he says, to women… in the way that true feminism is to be all that God created women to be, well and fully, to Honor HIM and our head (husband, if we are married.) there is nothing belittling about walking fully in who He created ANY of us to be. This is a lie of the enemy to believe anything else….
No i disagree. I have been called by the Holy Spirit and this passage of Scripture to headcover. It has nothing to do with culture. The word endures forever. We are called as Christians to be set apart from the culture and the world. I disagree with your teaching and i find this passage to be very clear with the revelation of the Holy Spirit.
(I didn't watch this video but am familiar with this subject.)
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.
-excerpt John 12
A woman's long hair is the 'covering'.
My thoughts: post length 7 minutes
Reply for post if desired. It includes scriptures and
commentary.
When God looks at a woman, he does not see her physical body; including gender. What God sees is what is behind her eyes; her soul. Our souls are pure energy...LOVE. We have no gender when we are in spiritual form. Intelligence, wisdom, and knowledge is not selective about which gender's mindset embraces it; or what parts of our bodies are wrapped in woven fabrics. Only mankind on planet earth is prejudice like that bc we exist in these bodies that have a inner-lining called an EGO. It is the way our bodies have been designed for over a million years.
Our souls are aware of the difficulties before it manifest into solid human forms. It is all part of the agreement; a part of our journey.
So, the comment you have about the head covering or covering the body altogether is not relevant to Nature or to the Universe AND God IS ALL these things. The petty ordinances ALL come from man bc we were born without coverings(born NAKED!) WE decided to cover ourselves...WE decided that NOT GOD.
Different cultures do all kinds of things to their bodies; out in the public and behind closed doors. The kingdom of God has seen it all; there are no secrets. EVERYTHING we've ever done and EVERY word we have ever spoken has been recorded and kept in a different dimension outside of our present one. However, in God's Kingdom, there is no separation(WE ARE ALL EQUAL IN SPIRIT)...there is no punishment. Just pure unconditional Love. What is the point of unconditional love if there is always some form of punishment waiting when we mess up?
The bible goes against the Laws of Nature, the Laws of the Universe and the Laws of Creation. It weakens the infinite powers of the earth bound female which is unacceptable to mother earth and the universe; it is ultimately unacceptable in God's Kingdom bc the female spirit is equal to the male spirit in God's Kingdom, but is being treated as if it is less than on earth and that is NOT how it is in heaven. Our ancient ancestors knew this!
We all live under the same sky; male AND female There is no favored one. It does not matter what your bible says bc what it does not say...SPEAK VOLUMES.
P.S. All the bible has ever done is divide and separate the kingdom into thousands of little cults and religions.
@@Josieb4008 🤡
Paul he changed everything that jesus said. We actually following wrong reaching. Thats y jesua hates his friends.
This is completely wrong! I don't care what verse of Holy Scripture you are looking at, this is not how we are to read or understand it. The text says nothing about culture, poostitutes, etc. What it does speak of is submission, authority, the created order and the honor of God. Anyone reading the Bible the way this was presented, will know almost nothing of the truth of God's holy word! "Receive the kingdom as liitle children."
Proverbs 6:13
“He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;”

We join a culture when we follow Jesus Christ. The one in the Bible, let go of your old dead things. We follow the Bible, no matter what the not peculiar are doing around us.
What a load of bs rubbish
