Since the Law has not been abolished, neither has head covering, aka the tzniut that wives must wear, which is a symbol she is married, hence why Paul says, "it is a symbol of authority over her head".

The uncovering and covering cerimonail law I believe is all about the unseen reflected glory of God who remains without form

As a ceremonial law like the Sabbaths it serves as a shadow to point ahead .

Col 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are “a shadow” of things to come; but the body is of Christ.Col 2:17

It is not something we can judge one another in respect to but ignoring the head covering for woman,which includes the uncovering for men as ordinance of God does no go without questioning why? In that way when he comes will he find the working of His faith?

It is the first part of the break breaking ceremonial when more than one family offers worship and not the whole ordinance designed to reflect the unseen glory of God as a witness to the angels, messengers of God.

Its not a sign that a person is married but points ahead to the marriage super of the Lamb, to consummate the wedding union, the receiving of our new promised incorruptible bodies. Single woman as the bride of Christ are required just as the married here on earth. It affects single men in the same way.

For when a woman becomes married, she comes under the authority of a husband, due to the curse against Eve when she transgressed, "your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you". As such, when Rebekah first saw Isaac, who she was going to marry, she "veiled" herself, which is the tzniut.

Again it is in respect to both the man (no covering) and to the woman, (cover her reflective glory her hair) . She is not left without a representative glory . When gathering together the only glory that should be seen by faith, is the unseen glory in respect to man and woman. both together representing one bride, the church

I do acknowledge that 1 Corinthians 11 is confusing. Scholars are divided over the issue of head covering. I also am not positive about whether a woman should have a covering or not.

Hair is the representative covering . Woman who is the glory of man is not left without one. Her hair must be covered .Man not covered. The only glory to be witnessed is the unseen glory of God who remains without form ,.he is not a man as us.

If she does not cover her hair she should shave it off. A shaven head shows a woman is guilty before God, it affects the whole ordinance to include the breaking of bread .

Maine Coons are where it's at.
giant, fluffy, mild-mannered, loyal and amiable. ♥

while i'd love to have a cat the size of a retriever in my family, and daydream about one-upping people at dog parks and pet stores, like you i'm not so wealthy. probably God knows i'd blow the money. but looking down at the scratches and fang-marks on my arms as i type this, and that from just "little" playful puffs, i see the greater wisdom in this too hehe

I've heard they are dog like and that's what I like. Sadly had a doggy cat years back that was jumped on by one of our dogs (not a current dog) and she died next morning. So even though my husband really likes cats we can't have one. Although a Maine coon might scare them off
