My thoughts on my Wife's Headcovering.

[TheAdisah]

If she ties, another way we would not greet her at all. Then she would not have to freak out.

[ClassAchef]

@Shirotora1979

Hi Shirotora1979, i have recently examined in detail and scripture of 1st Corinthians C11 and having analysedit and the ojections i have heard as a young christian to it. I can 1000% say that a Christian woman SHOULD wear a headcovering Biblically. 

Ive been a Christian 7 years and i have not sat down properly until 1 year ago to stare at this. I always took what my pastors or elders said over the years which was 'Either way is fine'. My wife will get one in the next week

[boxermaf]

mashallah u know that wearing hijaab is a part of imaan (faith) and that it is the command of Allah! you learnt this INTUITIVELY,i think you're not far away from becoming a true mu'min.don't be stubborn&don't forget modesty is the opposite of pride.too many women are indoctrinated by the girl power rubbish!Who cares if the almighty orders it or if some husband/father encouraged it.these things are not important,submission to the will of the Almighty is!& Allah knows best.HIJAB EMPOWERS WOMEN!!

[Shirotora1979]

@boxermaf You know my wife and me are very much about woman power. We disagree that being forced to wear any kind of headcovering does the opposite of empowering. If a chrisitan or even muslim decides not to wear it then that is ok and should not be looked down upon or punished for it. Women should have equal rights and such under the law and men should be just as submissive to the lord as women.

[heartnmind1]

@boxermaf I hope that he is far from following the anti-christ. mohammed is a pathetic immitation of Jesus. Do a thorough research in order to discover if Jesus was crusified or not. No wonder islam does not guarantee salvation.

[Shirotora1979]

@heartnmind1 We are quite far from becoming muslim.

[Shirotora1979]

@oregonisboring Have to fully agree with you. I am proud for my wife for standing up for herself and her beliefs. The problem is that i don't belive that is contradicts anything for a wife or any woman to stand up for her faith and beleifs. If he is so self centered and idiotic to try and force his wife to not wear it then he has larger problems then his wife's headwear.

[proverbs2323]

I almost started weeping while watching this. I am proud of both of you and the Godly stand you are taking.

[ajereks]

Awe, you're a good husband :)

[TheBrideage]

I CORINTHIANS 11:15 15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for [her] hair is given her for a covering.

God Bless You!

[toulamerguez]

I am glad of that you practic your religion properly .people should know that its required to cover the head of women in christianity and to be modest.you should be verry proud of your wife

[Msbulldoze]

i agree it was verry rude the way she talks about her encoutering a muslim woman,,clearly a nice muslim woman

[layla302]

Why would a muslim woman greating you with "Peace be Upon You" be "the worst thing that ever happened?" Wow, that's so negative.

[ummabdurrahman1]

@layla302 I think she means it was awkward, she didn't want to offend the sister, but she didn't want to betray her beliefs. Before I was muslim I wore a scarf on a bad hair day and the same thing happened to me, so I know what she meant.

[jay2tails]

I'm digging that beard!

[Shirotora1979]

@jay2tails you should see it now lol.

[2bhishandsandfeet]

Praise God! What a blessing!

I will headcover for the first time tomorrow, as I was convicted on 1 Cor 11 just this week. My dh bought me headcovers for our anniversary on Thursday. I was touched to the point of tears that he would be so supportive of me.

I am blessed as well. :)

[social05]

wouldn't a full wig be considered as a head covering?

[Shirotora1979]

@social05 I am not sure to be honest. You would have to ask my wife herself. MrsShirotora is her channel.

[daffodyllady]

@social05 I would ask why would a woman want to cover her head with a wig? She obviously feels she must obey the letter of a law, but she doesnt want to look like she is obeying that law. Therefore, I would ask why she wants to look like she does not obey God's law.

[daffodyllady]

@social05 a full wig being used in order to obey a God-command to cover the head, would be like obeying the command to wear clothes, by wearing a flesh-toned body-suit. It kind of shows where the heart is, doesn't it?

[JCojocaru]

@social05 Why would you use hair to cover your hair? How I see it is, don't alter your appearance. Be humble and thankful for the hair God gave you, and cover it when praying/prophesying.

[MissLeanaFaith]

@social05 A wig's kind of like an invisible head covering lol

[maxbird2003]

god bless that is so nice

[orman51]

I don't care what Paul thinks about women covering their heads during worship in 1 corinthians 11. If God wants you to wear a veil, why did God make Adam and Eve naked? Just so I'm clear, though, I'm not saying the head covering is wrong. I'm just curious what you have to say about that.

[thesunissecretlyblue]

@orman51 Well, the way I see it (I'm not really speaking on behalf of any church.. because I wouldn't know any of their answers, because I've never even seen a question like this before o.0 It's a very good question) when we were first created, we were in a sort of perfect harmony with God. When sin was committed, we had to find a way to be back in that harmony with God again. We were made in the nude, but since we now lusted, we needed to wear clothes, etc.

[thesunissecretlyblue]

@orman51 I think the idea of women needing a head covering in order to regain harmony with God came from the fact that a woman naturally has long hair as her covering. If her head is bald, it still today seems unnatural. I know you didn't really want a reference to Paul, but I think his verses helped to explain it. So 1 Corinthians 11:13-15 says "Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man..

[thesunissecretlyblue]

@orman51 ".. has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering." Now I don't believe that the hair IS the covering, because it says if you don't cover your head, you have to shave your hair, and it doesn't make sense to shave what isn't there... But yeah. That also explains why men can't cover their heads in prayer. Hope that helps answer the question in a way, though I know it doesn't fully.

[RonsGurl82488]

i have an honest question. I completely agree with your wife covering her head I myself am also thinking about covering my own haed but with a different style of covering but my question is if she wore a differnt covering or just a veil for your wedding?

[Shirotora1979]

Oh she has a ton of styles. Some that let her hair flow free and others that completly cover her head and neck (tends to wear those on the hotest days since they keep her cooler. On the weeding I think she wore a veil..that day is still a blur in my mind. Kinda pics of certain events and just hugs joy when I think about it. I will have to get our wed album to double check.

[RonsGurl82488]

@Shirotora1979 Thanks for answering! I'm still thinking of wearing one myself not sure yet still alot of praying to be done!

[Shirotora1979]

@RonsGurl82488 Well you should talk with her about it. It honestly effects her more then me. She tends to be very shy while I will talk with anyone..lol. Seriouslly though don't let someone force you to wear or not wear. If you feel its in your heart and faith to do so be strong and proud in it. A freind of mine told me when he left the Christian faith that he didn't lose any friends. He just fround out who they were. He returned latter but that is a different story.

[zeenasworld]

u 2 made me cry with happiness to see u and hear your message. i want u to understand that my husband and i feel the same as u do. we have the same thoughts about us the muslims and it is nice to see a christian man and woman abt covering tell the world what they think. i also fear thought this country will ban covering all together. i pray not. please take care of yourselves god bless and peace (salaam) to u both.

[TheQueeny20]

may the most high bless you brother, we need more men like you =D

[huntedrasta]

i think people need to get more conscious of the similarities between islaam and other monotheistic religions (such as christianity). it's funny that even you, who "promotes" the headscarf for women, would differentiate the Christian and Muslim traditions. Alienating and demonizing Islaam is so pointless and unhealthy for the state of world diplomacy (world peace). Islaam promotes everything Christ ever said and share pretty much every belief.

[Shirotora1979]

@huntedrasta I am going to have to disagree with you here on every level. The similarties are superficial only and the reasons and bases of them are completly different. The reason women in Islam are to cover are so not to tempt men. That is missing from the Christian faith and its for their chosen submission to their husband and to Christ. Also what do you mean promote headcovering. I have no problem with it and support my wife but by NO means do I believe every cont....

[Shirotora1979]

@Shirotora1979 every Christian woman should cover. In fact I don't think that at ALL. ALmost every woman in our Church (basically my wife and one other being the exception) don't cover and I have no problem with that.  Here is the thing is that Christ is not a prophet but rather God in the flesh. He is the WORD the Logos upon which our faith is built.

[huntedrasta]

@Shirotora1979 its amazing how religious people are so unwilling to see similarities between their religions and others... even when they are so obviously from directly the same root. However, you are obviously more religious than me, in the traditional sense... and therefore, I do not want to offend you. Let's just say it was my opinion.

[MsSSnow]

I love this! Great hubby you got there MrsShirotora! Brave man!

[cannelewis]

It's funny how women wear hats and scraves as fashsion statements, but the minute a women says she's wearing it for religious resasons people have a hissy fit about it. Like it's doing something to them. I applaude all the ladies who have chosen to wear head coverings. BTW there are a lot more women who are covering then people think.

[cherokiimslm]

U know if any muslim seen her out like that, they will say As salamu lakem and if she dont return the salaams they'll be thinking oh shes a rude one lol

[Shirotora1979]

@cherokiimslm lol. It has happened actually. It was said to me and informed the gentleman that I was a Christian not a Muslim and lets just say...he was a little bit offended.

[Avushka]

@cherokiimslm then let them think so, muslims should not think that every women with scarf is muslim, they should also learn other religions so they know more than just Islam. And dont say that it is a sin, becouse it is not. Every religion should have knowledges about others religions, it says both in Quran and Old Bible.

[2celticgirl2]

gotta tell ya my hubby loves my head covering but I would like to wear the chapel veil but he doesn't want me to so.... I also have been discriminated against because my religious belief is on my head. People know what I believe without my saying a word. We are to be seperate from the world and i believe this is one way to do it. i commend you on standing up for your lovely wife. Godspeed to your family.

[cuchulain55]

she covers her head and you have a beard like jesus thats cool.:)

[bishonenboy]

I don't think most Americans can help but assume shes Muslim, because she is an anomaly as a Christian woman to cover her head.

But I don't think that's ignorant or racist.

Learning shes Christian (I've watched a couple of her vids) it makes sense.

[Veiled4God]

God Bless!

[GoneBazaar]

Good man! Good for her!

[karkimannar]

Really nice to hear a man talking about the issue! I'll probably check your wife's youtube also from now on. I also think it doesn't hurt people and ppl should just chill and let others be who they are as long as they are not hurting others. (wow, what a terrible way to put a sentence hehe)

I cover my head too, but for other reasons.

And where's the other video you promised? :)

[onef8th]

Actually, Christian women did wear the veil unitl very recently (60-70 years ago) as a common practice at least in church. Protestant churches the ladies wore hats. I have studied the history of the practice and believe it or not it was and still is a matter of obedience for the Christian women, a choice yes, but who would not want to obey God?

[Shirotora1979]

That is a point i had not thought to make actually. Thank you honestly for pointing that out. One thing that honestly gets to me are those who attack my wife and others for the practice. Saying its meaning hair is the covering. WHile i disagree with it why attack the person for what they see as obeying the Lord. It doesn't hurt anyone and doesn't stop their worship.

[ReligionThink]

nice to see you on. A very interesting topic. Thanks for sharing.

[theresa8042]

Thank you very much. God bless you !

[BeingBob]

Until recently I didn't realize that women who cover their heads for their faith are treated that way, and the strength they show, including your wife (and your support) and TheVeiledCatholic, in sticking with it is truly wonderful.

[Mysticblue1212]

May I ask why women cover their head? I hear they were supposed to but I don't know why. I also heard that it was supposed to be covered while praying. So, why would a Christian woman cover their head all the time? You are right, she does look like a Muslem with that head covering. I wouldn't kick yourself too much about saying that. Yea, it was probably stupid but you were just concerned about her getting the job she was looking for.

[theresa8042]

I love that style ! could you show how you did it ? thank you God bless you

[MrsShirotora]

It's just a really wide scarf draped around my head. I think the style I was actually wearing that afternoon I learned how to do from thevintagegoth's channel. If you search for something like "hijab how to" you'll get lots of returns.

[Justinfhtube]

I don't see why people make a big deal about women who wear those things. It's their choice. Now, I can understand people's concern regarding covering the face, but the head covering is no big deal.

[AlannahBabalon156]

Interesting video Rob. Im agreed with Woods of Odin and also The Well of Mimir, as long as its not religiously mandated and its a personal choice to show how deep her faith goes, all the best to her on it.

[atomarane]

Personal choices that do not hurt anyone soul never be an issue. Thanks for sharing.

[VioletKitty411]

I rarely wear a cross because it means so little to people.

[TheWellofMimir]

There is a difference between someone making a personal decision based religious views and a Religion mandating that it be done. We as a society need to understand that not all things we associate with one thing are always as such. I say it takes strength of character to follow ones beliefs in spite of ridicule. It is when it leads to extremism that it gets dangerous.. Great video and tell your wife I think it rocks..

[abominableangel]

i know that there is christian woman on youtube who wears hijab and she says salam alaikum .. i know most people associate that saying with islam but christians and jews also say it, it just means peace be upon you to which the responce is Wa Alaykum as-Salaam which means and upon you be peace so if an islamic person says that phrase to you reponding in arabic is gentle and sweet if they respond with Al-hamdulillah which means praise Allah then explain that you are christian

[MrsShirotora]

I've seen discussions between Muslims (on YT) about whether or not it is allowed to greet non-Muslims with "as salamu alaikum," or if one is greeted thusly by a non-Muslim if it is allowed to respond with the full response phrase. When the lady greeted my in the grocery store I just couldn't remember the Arabic and because I'm shy stammered "uh, actually I'm a Christian." Then I recognized her. I felt like an idiot.

[AxiomofDiscord]

Honestly Christianity is the scariest religion to me. Christians as a group have more true power than the Muslims. The Christian culture is by and large seeking to conquer the world and bend others to its will. Christians as individuals might not be doing this, but this culture that masquerades as a religion is and it has hurt me more than Islam I would be stupid to think that it does not enable dictators in Arab states to rise to power as their desperate people cry for a way out.

[USSRangel85]

Thank you Rob for this video, great to see a husband talking about this topic, God bless!!!

[SirGaul]

Your wifes head covering looks cool to me!  Peace!

[TheVeiledCatholic]

Great great video...yes you are right a lot of people are wearing the rosary as any other accessory...Thank you for sharing...BTW I like her scarf very pretty :)...GBU

[TheRantingBrit]

Interesting video. I've been of the opinion for quite a while that if someone has a problem with you based on something as small as that, they're the ones losing out.

[AxiomofDiscord]

Indeed a rather shallow a pointless battle to even begin

[woodsofodin]

So long as its a personal choice, I have no problem with it. The only problem I have with such things is that often women are pressured (in other cultures) to cover their heads.

[Shirotora1979]

Well its not only their head covering but clothing itself. THink about here in the US about how women are "expected" to dress. I am against that but you could also say about those being forced to wear certain clothing to events or public. This statement could bring about a LOT of talk and conversation. Think it does raise a good point. :)

[AxiomofDiscord]

I hate the concept of culture to begin with it is about as close to an enemy of my path in life as I have. Anything that comes between you and you to me is wrong. So I agree as long as its a personal choice its all good to me as well.

This was a pretty cool video Rob. Thanks for sharing.

[TheDevilSays]

I've always believed that the best way to bring people to one's religion is to lead by example.

I applaud your wife for showing her faith without being aggressive or combative. Why can't everyone be like the two of you :-)

[TheQueenofSnow]

I think it's great that she wears it as a show of her faith.
