In 1:04:00 the wicked angels from Genesis 6 and Peters epistle are the same fallen angels you read about in the book of Enoch which the early Christians did read
Many argue over this, but I am very sure this talks of the church, not the every day life, of course we must dress modestly, no argument, but let us not forget we dress modestly because we love God, not because we are forced to do so. I would absolutely suggest a Christian woman to have her head covered by a veil while praying or prophesying to make no mistake. To elevate a man-made tradition to a salvation issue is DEADLY for the preacher and those who are so deceived (Gal. 1:8,9). Go by the Bible alone and you'll be safe (2 Tim. 3:16,17).
Does this mean that a woman can preach (prophesies) and pray in the church (congregational prayer or public) as long as they wear a veil? I sincerely would like a response to this question I’m very interested thanks and God bless.
If you read the head covering verses in the Interlinear, it is clear. At least it was to me. Short hair women need to cover their head or shave it all off. Long hair women have a head covering, their long hair. I was uncertain about unmarried women, but the history you laid out helped to understand that.
There's a number of reasons that long hair cannot be the type of covering Paul is referring to, but I'll focus on one simple point: Paul is teaching to have a covering only during prayer + prophesying. You can't take on and off long hair...the reasonable conclusion is that you take on and off an artificial covering. Check out the video titled "What is Head Covering? Is it a Woman's Long Hair or Veil?" by Head Cover Movement
Thanks for this. I'm wondering, should a woman have her head covered even just when praying privately by herself? Also, thinking about the fact that a Christian would have access to prayer to God at any time of day or night, even if it just be prayer in one's head rather than out loud, would the Christian woman always have to stop to remember her veil any time she spontaneously wishes to pray, even if just to pray in her head? And what about when a woman would for the first time call upon the name of the Lord Jesus for salvation? Should she ideally have her veil ready before she calls on Him? These questions aren't intended as a mockery but as genuine thoughts. I'd be inclined to think that these instructions would be intended to apply in the context of a gathering for prayer/worship. I suppose I can also see that perhaps a woman even in private prayer, if she decides to go into a serious time of prayer, may reasonably wish to cover her head. But I think that if we say that the instructions go beyond just church setting, then it does become worth thinking about where we draw the boundary as to what scenarios these instructions are meant to apply. I certainly wouldn't want to put the issue of a veil in the way of a woman for the first time calling on the name of the Lord Jesus for salvation, for example.
These are great questions. One of the aspects of God is his ability to 'respond'. Our experience was that when we 'tested God' to see if there would be a true 'difference in the spiritual life-experience' as a family that 'uses the veil' (in corporate gathering - in public ministering, prayer and prophesying, and also in the times of ''private study and prayer' like the Jewish students have for all time) We found that 'God responded' in truly wonderful ways. Some of the women felt moved to use some sort of covering almost all the time. Others just used the veil in 'times of obvious visible service to God'. God responded.
Josh Parker My wife uses an infinity scarf which she wraps around her head. they can be found at most clothing stores. There are people who make different styles though... try etsy.
So, it depends if you want to wear a HAT, like in many Protestant Church traditions. Episcopal and Church of England ( think Kate Middleton and Princess Diana and the big hats of the African America church ladies) OR A SCARF. I suggest a large (36” by 36” or so) square cotton scarf, to start. Firstly, it’s not as expensive as a hat and it’s easier than a long wrap type scarf. You just fold it in half and tie it behind your head and let the points hang down. It used to be called a head kerchief. Silk is slippy. A bandana works too, like a “do rag” - like bikers wear lol!
Thank you ..I really enjoyed this very much.. But, I do have a question... Are you saying that women, now days ,don''t have to have long hair? I believe they should wear an actual cloth covering, but, I do, also believe Paul is teaching that women should also have long hair, as well. And, that men shoudn't have long hair.. What is it you believe ,regarding this? Thank you so much, dear brother.

Thank you for teaching and preaching scriptural truth!!!
evidently we brushed a lot, of the Bible aside, while all the while bragging on how Biblical that we were....

where can you find churches that practice Head Covering?

it is written "if you do what God requests, you will FIND OUT that my teachings are 'from God"
So where can a get these head coverings is there a special place I can order them?

Any long and wide enough scarfs will work.

Long hair is a glory to a woman and a shame to a man, just like it says.
Did Paul have divine authority to add to the commandments of the Father?
Deut. 4:2.
Or is this more replacement theology and dispensationalism?
