Both progressive and traditional types of Christians blatantly disobey the Bible... and this example about men and women proves it.

Judge among yourselves. Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?

I am new here. Please help me unpack this, and tell me why do you think most ignore this part of the Bible? First, here is some art I made. It's based upon my wife, wearing a head covering as she prays and prophesies.


It looks like we all cherry-pick the Bible. Even those of us that consider ourselves to be hardcore Bible believing Christians of the traditionalist type. We like to point out how progressive Christians deconstruct, deform, or dismiss certain scriptures. It is strange that most of us western Christians do the same thing with the first part of 1 Corinthians 11.


The Corinth Church was out of line because they were not following the traditions that Paul previously taught them. He sent a letter reminding them that men should not cover their heads and women should cover their heads when they pray or prophesy. He also had instructions about the Lord's Supper. This is not about fashion nor food... but liturgy and proper worship.

In verse 16, it is written that the churches of God do not have a custom of a woman praying with her head u-n-c-o-v-e-r-e-d. So for centuries after Paul's letter women covered their heads in church... all the way until the sexual revolution and the feminist movement starting in the 1960's. Now, only certain denominations follow the instructions. Most Western churches ignore these holy scriptures. The people I talk to about this mostly have never heard of it. Or, they pretend that the scriptures mean other things, like it is about women having long hair, or that the letter was ONLY for the Corinthians, or it was a cultural thing of that time, or some other untrue thing. They skip that part of the scripture and only give attention to the part about the Lord's Supper.

Here is a pretty good article that explains the background and history:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_head_covering

You might think that it is not a big deal if a guy wears a ball cap in church or if a woman does not cover her head. But head covering is not something Paul briefly touched on casually with a single sentence, like the "holy kiss" or "drink a little wine to help your stomach". See how Paul elaborated on the theology of it. The fact that Paul wrote that all the churches practiced this means that it is not merely an instruction unique to the area of Corinth. ADDITIONALLY, and more importantly, the fact that he connected this practice with creation, the natural order, and the Angels makes it a universality. After all, Angels are every time and place. THIS IS NO SMALL THING. A man not covering his head and a woman covering her head, this is an act of worship that shows that we are submitted to God.

It seems that we have now set aside holy scripture, mainly for feminist pride. And this distortion or deconstruction of holy scripture for an agenda has made the way for gay pride to do the same thing. Do we accept the writings of Paul, or just the parts we like? So, was the Holy Spirit speaking through Paul? If we listen to Paul when it comes to the gifts of the spirit, the Lord's Supper, and on and on, why not about head coverings?

And the next thing you know, many Christians will cherry-pick the words of Christ, and ignore His definition of marriage as being between a man and a woman (Matthew 19:4-6). Wait, that is already happening....

You are Wrong about head covering for woman.. You have misread the passage.. Paul explained to them that God gave woman long hair for a covering.. That woman do not need an extra head covering because they already have one.. If they have long hair..

In the final verse you quoted Paul said..



What Custom is He talking about?? The only custom being dealt with in the passage was the custom of woman wearing a extra head covering...

This just shows how people can read a passage and get the opposite message of that passage..

But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.

Paul is rebuking anyone that wishes to challenge the practice, saying we have no such custom in the churches as woman not wearing coverings etc, in all the churches.

11:6 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.

If it is the hair like you say, how does this verse make any sense? If she has no hair shave it off ? Does that make any sense at all ? And if it be a shame to be shaven let her be covered? Do they then have to put a wig on the woman ?

Not wearing a head covering cannot be called a custom.. Thats the defult situation.. A custom requiors people to do something like wear head coverings..






There is a difference between a woman having short hair and having her head completely shorn. She would have to wear a actual head covering if she had been shorn..

So in 1 cor 1:4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.

All the men must have to be bald if it is talking about hair

Paul used hair as an example from nature, like we all do when explaining things we will use an example, it is like such and such....

I’d like to engage, but I suspect the op is a bomb thrower, who splits after tossing a bomb, and doesn’t address the various points made.

I also think it’s much about how he wanted everyone to see his artwork.

On the subject itself, we have freedom in Christ, if someone thinks it’s sin for a woman to pray uncovered, that’s on them.

The very interesting, and completely ignored nugget in the text is the part about “because of the angels”.

Why would an angel care if a woman’s head was covered while praying to God?
