1 Corinthians 11:4-15
Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.
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. 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. 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. For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels. Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord. For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God. Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?
Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.
So I was wondering what everyones take on this is, do you believe women should wear a covering on their head out in public or not? If yes why? and if no why?
Lostinnarnia and I have discussed this and reached our decision on it, but we just wonder what others think.
If you pay attention to verse 8 it talks about how the man is not of the woman, but the woman is of the man.(talking about how God took and made a woman from the man, made Eve from a rib of Adams and all that).
Also probably the most important and key verse is 15, talking about a womans hair is her covering. Before that in verse 5 it talks about how it's a dishonor for a woman to not have long hair, or a head covering.
Basically the verses say that the man is the head of the household, the woman, etc. as is stated in many other books and verses in the Bible, and how all things belong to God. So the hair is the head covering for the woman, it doesn't mean that a woman should go and literally put some sort of covering on her head just to go out in public.
In fact, it says in verse 15 that for a woman to have long hair is GLORY. It's given for a cover.
So ok I'm done rambling about this now, just wondering others take on this topic/subject. This is just mean for discussion, not to cause any arguments or anything. Lets all respect one another and their beliefs.
