Should women be silent in church and wear head coverings?

[mj007]

It appears to me whatever thread I look at, some people defile it with racism, homophobia, and now I witness sexism.

Eg. that picture which basically says women are less than man in brain, so 'every' mans brain has more neurons than a woman? What about a mentally retarded man? What about an exceptional genius woman?

I have a theory myself that I would like to present to see if anyone might agree.

The reason behind the men of religious thinking is wanting to control the women such as in dress, makeup, jewelry, long hair could be because of lust.

That lust in the men has never been dealt with, and the men have never learned to love their wives as Jesus loves His own body. So in their guilt, they project it to their women. Trying to control to make them look "good".

Why the women do this yet in religious thinking, I have yet to "see".

This actually came from a dream I had last night. So what do you all think? Agree or not?

Islam really brings this idea home. Women must cover up because the men refuse to take responsibility for their lust. They will claim anything done to a woman because of the MAN'S lust is HER fault because SHE seduced them; even an uncovered ankle is enough to send them over the edge. It is nothing short of DISGUSTING how they treat their women.

This is old. You didn't come up with it. It is an old, tired "theory" of the far left and feminists.

you got an issue with lust, huh?

Western men have sadly not been much better historically,
blaming women for the way she dresses if she was raped.

As a young woman I was constantly being hit on
by men who hoped to take advantage of me.

It played a big role in my rebellion against tradition.
What girl in her right mind would want to marry
and possibly end up with a man like that???

My thoughts are just what the Bible says. It says for women to be silent in church. Maybe you can talk to others after it? It is hard to believe it is the spirit of the Lord telling you to do the opposite of what the Bible explicitly states.

funny that the Bible also teaches in Christ there is no gender...but hey, do not let that truth stop you from being a bully and spiritually bankrupt bigot on everyone that is not white or male...

So whens the next Klan meeting,there, Bubba Bocephus?

Disclaimer: This poll is for my desire to know where the CC members stack up. It is not just so I can see the majority opinion and change mine to match it. I provide this disclaimer because someone else complained earlier about my use of polls.

Paul told us we are under no law (Galatians 5:18), so when he creates laws for women to follow, one might be tempted to scratch their heads. I don’t believe Paul had the authority to create laws.

Modern Hollywood is so loathsome that a Christian cannot choose to let it into their eyes and ears. The language, the debased women (how do feminists put up with it?) the Lord's name in vain constantly (on purpose)..

The violence..shooting people is now "G" rated.. I saw some TNT or something when I was in a pizza place, heads being shot and blood shooting out.. It is just not tolerable for decent people to choose to watch that stuff.

I just say..trust me..if it is not an addiction, turn it off for just 6 months. When you go back to it, you will be shocked. If you stop watching it entirely for a couple of years, I guarantee that it will make you want to vomit when it turns back on. You will feel sick to your soul. Hollywood is controlled by those who use every means possible..psychologists, mainly, to convert the country to a godless commie hades.

then turn the channel...only cowards that refuse to renew their mind have to be enslaved by this kind of fear.....yeah, you might have not guessed it, but my calling to the Body is rooting out fear like you....

If it is bad, and you know it is bad, how can you want to indulge in it?

empowering grace is a teacher...Titus 2.11-15

I find it interesting that modern day Christians want women to wear head coverings while among the Jews it is the men who do
(I visited a synagogue in Scotland. My male friend had to wear that thingy the men wear, nothing was said about my hair though)

That is because your long hair is your glory and your covering...

1 Cor 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.

Glory hear very loosely means honor...

I cannot make up the rules, as the Bible says a covered head. So it would not be my place to specify details. But for my part, I would feel that if it is long enough to not be mistaken for a male.

Hmmm.... I don't think I need long hair not to be mistaken for a male.

Watchmen/women need to keep their eyes open. Close yours if you like...

I voted no because I believe God looks to the heart not appearances

Yeah, yeah, prideful, monster, abusive, etc. Be sure to act like you aren't mad, and then reply to my post twice and tell me how horrible I am, etc.

Men can develop breasts if they smoke a lot of pot... or are overweight.

Some men need a brassiere more than some women do

One thing (maybe the only thing) this thread is good for: giving self-righteous misogynists the opportunity to reveal the darkness in their hearts.
