"Sixteen verses of inspired Scripture". Actually, several of the preceding verses aren't addressing hair at all, and the verse I quoted is also inspired Scripture. You're playing verses against each other. Paul doesn't contrast "natural women" with "spiritual women" at all.

While hair should not be a distraction, neither should anything else, by intention. Hair is no more a distraction than clothing, shoes, body shape, facial features, voice, or any of a hundred other external aspects of a person that another person may find attractive. Unless a person is actively seeking to get attention, the problem is with the observer, not the observed. Covering the hair isn't going to fix the problem.
That's right the problem is with the....
"observers"-WATCHERS!
So.....if they don't keep their hair covered the Watchers will swoop down on them and DEFILE them just like they did in Gen.6:4....you don't want your wife defiled by the fallen ones do ya ????

Please look to GEnesis 3:15

About the womans head being bruised. I think its for protection.
That verse was spoken to the serpent, not to the woman.

Um, no. I wasn't talking about "the Watchers". I mean human people who observe other human people.

You're not reading that right....The womans offspring is a HE.....the serpent strikes the.. HE.....offsprings heal and the HE offspring crushes the serpents head not the womans.....but fallen angels are subject to temptation Gen. 6:4 proves they are horny devils.....so you want the womans head covered so they don't swoop down on her and " come into the daughters of men"......and defile her and impregnate her with enmity seed......and breed hybrid demon giant Anaki's !

Gen: 3:15 is a Christ foreshadow.....when God told the serpent that satan figured out there was going to be a virgin birth so he had all his buddies start Defiling daughters of men Gen. 6:4 to corrupt and contaminate the bloodlines with enmity seed hoping to interfere with the Adamic bloodline and the unblemished lamb of God-Christ.....after they did that he started all the Pagan Virgin false sungod etc. Cults to confuse people to whom the true virgin-child-christ was.
Gen.3:15 ....symbolizes or foreshadows that Christ would crush the serpents head and by his name and grace you also have authority by his word to crush the heads of serpents!!!
So put your serpent boots on and get to stomping!😀

That's the whole reason half of them go to the big socialite churches......to observe each other.....doing ahms in public like the pharisee....they make a big production of adornment which ties back to the watchers that taught the adornments to humans.....control by the flesh intentionally.😀

Oh ok Sorry you are right I misread it. If its the serpents head then Im not sure about the headcovering for women then.

I know theres a helmet of salvation. But if a man is praying with his head uncovered, does this mean he doesnt have his helmet?

Paul does say for women to dress modestly not with embroidered hair. Or braided hair. So he must have something against certain hairstyles?

He also prefers women to keep silence.

Well when we praying or prophesying we are speaking....

What about Isaiah 3:16

Or anything regarding crowns on our heads? I dont know. Dont angels have halos. Is this about the glory?

I do know the elders cast their crowns in revelation. Maybe its something to do with that.Im quite puzzled by this scripture I'd love to know exactly what Paul meant maybe somethings lost in the translation.
