I totally agree with you on the headcovering. But I don't think women should wear it when they're not praying or prophecising, that is, most of the time outside church. When they're not in church I believe that the hair is their veil.
Thank you for your video. I'm a Christian man and I appreciate your submission to God and your willingness to show it with a head covering. However, it does no good if all the sisters our churches are wearing head coverings but they're NOT submitting to God in other ways. I don't think Christian women have to wear head coverings, but they do need to be submissive to God whether they wear head coverings or not. All Christians should do their best to be submissive to God, women and men alike.
Speaking as a man I think Head covering is a good idea. Im thinking about the elements. I have worn differenty head attire since I was knee high. Im 62 in a coulpe of weeks and wouldnt dream of leaving home without a cap or hat. For my part it is for comfort not modesty.:)
It was a custom for women to wear their hair long in the time of Paul. It is not relevant today Nobody but strange people could get sexually aroused by women's hair now. After all Sinéad O' Connor shaves her hair and Jade Goody as a result of her cancer treatment was bald on her wedding day. She died shortly after.
@irishxxkelt Try covering your hair with a scarf and see how "sexy" you look. Chances are, not very. There is a big difference between how a woman looks when covered and when she is not. Hair really DOES make a woman more beautiful (and men DO notice), so it's not necessarily about if the man gets turned on or not due to the hair alone, but more like the complete package. You know what I'm saying? A girl wearing a head covering and modest clothes demands respect. But to each his or HER own.
I really support you! I started wear a headcovering recently! You go girl! :D I am not married though, I just wear it because I wanna please God in everything I do. My brother is autistic to by the way! I heard you mentioned it. I liked and subbed! :D
Thank you for sharing :) I am also convicted to cover. However, my husband doesn't want me to...so I don't :) I pray someday I will be able to though, in my husband's and God's time :)
Have you ever noticed that in some 'modern' churches men of course have no veil on their head but women don't have any either.
Conclusion : men DON' T dishonour Christ their head but women DO dishonour men their head. Men care but women don't care. They just care about themselves and their obnoxious 'rights' whispered by Satan.
Females have no sense of hierarchy or respect contrary to men.
God bless you sister. I am a Christian man who found the truth about masculinity and femininity, the hard way, after great trouble.
Christian women who wear dresses and a head covering(especially with long hair), are just the MOST BEAUTIFUL women in the WORLD. I am a loss to express the impact it has on the me, (and I am still unmarried), except to say that it must only be the Holy Spirit flowing in the sanctity of a godly marriage that can do justice to the Glory that God shares with us.
Great video and explanantion! I encourage you to carry on. You are setting a good example. You also made a good point that it's only recently that this changed. Tthe only thing is that it sounded like you were making it sound as if being in a patriarchal marriage is wrong. Patriarchal doesn't mean that a husband and wife are not "friends" as you put it... nor does it mean the man looks down on the woman. I didn't hear you talk about it enough... but I know many have that misconception.
Todays women's has become like objects to look at and to sleep with its a sick generation we live in, its good if a women hides her beauty then no one will bother her. I dont want to marry a whore that almost the whole nation has touched her lol.
You are such an inspiration! I'm 16 and have just decided to cover full-time (the only one who covers in my family, friends and church family), and this is such an encouragement!!
as a catholic I was to buy a finely made lace scarf to use. I see some women wear it certain days. Also its tradition for an Italian woman to have a head covering when she finds she is pregnant probably to copy Mary and I love the holy mother. If anyone knows where I can find some fine lace please message me.
You are a good Christian doing what the Bible tells you. God Bless you, sister, and keep it up! Never on Youtube have I crossed a Christian woman with faith as big as yours.
i have been pondering this for a long time as well....i cover my head when i read the bible sometimes with a scarf and i feel secure in it. i just don';t want to draw too much attention to myself when i don;t fully understand what to say and i want secure biblical confirmation that this is right before i go out in public and need to explain but 1 corinthians 11:6 is pretty clear.
Hi, just wanted to say I agree with you about head coverings, but what's up with the 'I submit to God not my husband' stuff? If you submit to God, as we're all meant to do, that means you've got to submit to your husband, since that's what God says. Perhaps that is what you meant, but it didn't really come across. And also, when the Bereans heard the apostle Paul preach to them, they searched the scriptures to see if what he said was true - not the history of religious practise.
Hello, I have chosen to wear a headcovering as a Christian woman of God, however, I only believe to wear it during prayer or worship.
However nobody else in my church does so im kind of shy.... Also a 'cover' do you think this means to cover your whole head, or just partially? like just a scarf or full on hijab-type covering?
Infinitelink: my comment is clear. The passage has a context, and that context is Paul addressing the church with regard to issues WHEN THEY MEET TOGETHER, not individually. If you take things out of context, then you will teach incorrectly, and counsel God's people to do something He never intended. You will be accountable before God for false teaching. Beware. That's all I have to say on this subject. Soli Deo Gloria.
Both single and married women should wear the head-cover as it states, clearly in the Bible. Also, she believes that married women should wear the head-cover, but that just her point of view. Read this 1 Corinthians 11:2
Thank you for this. I am new to covering, dealing with nervousness about it. I just linked to your blog on mine. Along with the submission I am amazed the church has let this beautiful type of Christ and the Church as well as the Trinity just pass from practice with so little thought. But it seems God is bringing some women back to it. Thank you for sharing. I need to see obedience in others give me courage. I hate that I feel so vain.
I live in Amish/Mennonite/German Baptist country so this is not a new thing to me at all. What I have wondered is not about the headcoverings themselves, but why the tight buns under the bonnets. The headcovering subject is certainly an interesting one, but I can't see anything in the Bible about wadding hair up. Is that for convenience? I was always told that ponytails, if worn frequently, would cause balding over time. I assume it would be the same with buns and braids? Both give me headaches!
@VeiledGlory I want to wear a veil when I marry I am worried about not looking to old fashioned its damaging for a woman to change her last name in the job world she is less likely to be taken seriously and I need a job who doesnt haha. Can you make a video of ideas for styles that are discreet but still covers my hair for an office setting thank you :-)
ok os i just had a quick comment/question. so i looked at a couple different translations and was wondering which one your using to draw your opinoin on this. second Ephesians 5:17-33 speaks of how a man should love his wife. there is NOTING about head covering that passage
@MyBetty111 just to let you know she dose not look like a muslim it is more between the amish and older mennonites sorry but it is true since I have been attending an older mennonite church and honest I know what a head covering looks like for that religon
lol yea im actually from moldova and romania (around those parts) and like they practice the head coverings too but when we moved to america NOBODY covered their heads and im like wats goin on?? so yea idk wat to think bout it cause i been hearing different interpretations of wat the bible says bout women covering thier heads..idk..im just waitin on God to come and clear it up for me now.lol cause i i dnt understand wat the bible clearly says bout this and i cant be trustin wat ppl say anymore
I do not wear a head covering per-say, but I do wear a casual hair wrap that is basically a scarf that sits over the crown and then ties under my hair. I am Catholic and I find this is a more subtle way to cover my hair. Oh, and it really adds some grace and femininity to the traditional bonnet or chapel cap.
Hello HIMkitten-I am also Catholic and have been felt called for some time to pray about veiling myself. I have started to veil at mass and am praying about doing it full-time but I am scared! Did you experience any of this feeling when you started?
i think it is about time western women got hold of their modesty. i see young girls with short skirts showin all their underwear. shops selling thongs & crop tops for 6yr old. look at suri cruise covered in make up & high heeld she is 4yr old. the beauty companies makes billion suckin women in to look like air brush models, loreal models av hair extension & lash ex. we buy products because celebs use them but their av a team workin on them when u cant achieve the same effect u get low.
I am an Orthodox Christian woman from an old line, many devout generations. There is absolutely no valid reason whatsoever for covering the heads of young girls & women as a matter of principle. This is not any kind of Christian teaching -- nothing more than a custom left over from the days when indoor plumbing was unheard of, water had to be fetched from a well & heated for bathing. Covering the hair was simply a convenient way to keep it clean, especially as girls & women mostly wore it long.
@miamniam Greetings sister! Christ is in our midst! It is very important to know the history of not only your church but also what the church has taught since its inception under Christ. I respect your point of view but I have to disagree with your understanding. Not only did St. Paul teach this practice, this was bee the practice up until around 100 years ago when women in America started to change with their culture. This is not following Christ but the world. Harsh yes, but honest and true.
@onef8th I do not about America, but in Europe women covering their heads was customary/traditional, not religious. "To get under the bonnet" in German means to get married - meaning unmarried women do not wear the bonnet. Also it was outdoor clothing in many European cultures, and not dress in front of any man one is not related to, which Islam specifically regulates, but not Christianity.
Also Christian scholars teach Paul was referring to head covering in religious practice - Jewish women
had to cover their hair in the temple, and this was likely taken over by Paul.
If I were a Christian I'd have serious doubts the messenger and son of God would not have talked about this substantial issue - like many Christians themselves I find the decision to include Paul's scriptures into the Bible quite shady I must say. it was a decision of early Christian authorities - not word of God to many Christians, and I understand why they would feel this way.
My challenge here for my Christian readers is to consider the ramifications of ignorant faith, consider what god is asking of you. Is it fair or reasonable for one to believe in Extraterrestrial life forms without some form of proof for them? Why shouldnt we hold god to the same standard of evidence?
nothing wrong with covering the head if you feel the Spirit of God convincing you to do it. I personally prefer the "handkerchief" or veil covering instead of the bonnet, the bonnets make women wear their hair up or short and it looks less feminine.
I will be perfectly honest & tell you that if we worked together, I would certainly be polite and never say anything to make you uncomfortable at your job but I would not, in my heart, have a positive response to what you are doing.
I suspect that if a person flouts current ideas and fashions so visibly that no one can fail to see their rejection of the larger culture, that there is negative moral judgment and possibly anger issues behind such actions. In other words, it seems mighty hostile.
This sheds some light on the question as to whether or not the covering is just a culture thing or a teaching for the Christian women to cover their hair. My dear Brothers and Sisters all who in every place call upon the name of Jesus, are you called to be saints? Do you call on the name of Jesus? If so then I firmly believe that this series of letters (teaching on head covering) applies to you as does the rest of Gods Word. God bless you as you seek to apply His Word to your life!!
This verse is in the second verse of the opening letter to the Corinthians. In this verse we can plainly see that Paul is primarily addressing the problems of the church at Corinth. We can also see quite plainly that he is also addressing this series of letters to "them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours."
1st Cor 1:2 "Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:..."
I don't know what people are getting so uptight over concerning this video. She says in the begining that it is a choice. She's not being like some people who discuss religion (from any point of view) in their videos and condemning people who don't think like her. Is it wrong or right to cover your head? Who cares. What is right is doing what you feel is right, as long as it doesn't interfer with someone else's rights. Anna, I'm glad your happy. To each their own.
In most cases, a drug addict is infringing on someone else's rights. If you've ever had a family member with a drug problem, you'd see that they can create an emotional hell within the family. They can also be dangerous to society. If it is an extreamley rare incident where the drug addict is harming absolutly NOBODY else, then why does it matter? In almost any case I've seen, they are interfering with others' rights. I appologise if my pervious comment was in any way unclear.
i have experimented with drugs i used to be a party animal.
DRUGS ARE BAD!
no bad person will ever admit they are bad. i grew up around this my entire life. i noticed people always observe others who are worst than then.
for example, im a drug addict, but the other guy is a rapist! or im a rapist, but the guy is a pedeophile and muderer. i seen it and hear it all my life. imortant thing is what God wants will offend NO 1.
Some people are arguing here it seems.. but it's really simple. God wants us to dress modestly. He does not want us walking around and being the reason for men stumbling.. why would a true Christian woman want or allow herself to be a temptation to a man that should not be looking at her. Believe in God or not, everyone knows that is Wrong. I am going to start covering my hair!
i have much respect for you sister. i happy for you, you speak with logic, cover your hair that is what God wanted dont worry about the materialistic pagan ideology, which many christians have become a victim to, may God the wise bless you for your pure intentions,
peace be to you and peace be to and peace be to veiledglory for posting this video,
God willing it will be a great investment for her here after.
This an example of a good modest Christian women. As a female she has every right to speak for she took 1 of the 2 options shave your all your hair off, or wear a veil! Or don't preach. Well done sister I have much repect for you. Peace be with you. 5stars
As a female, she has every right to speak because she is from a free country, where women are ALMOST viewed as equals to men. Just like her right to practice her religion of choice.
Anna: Your devotion to your faith is very interesting to me. I wish I could have half that dedication towards any part of my life =)
that rights you speak of came from Islam 1400 years ago. i have respect for her. but i don't have respect for those who transgress against the will of God, it dosnt matter what country your from the rules of God dose not change you moron, God is more important, the free country you speak of rapes us for tax and slavery, do you even own your house? free country? get a life you two faced scum. and i was simply quoting from the bible, if you don't like that then forget the bible you monkey.
God Bless you sister, may He keep you in His loving mercy & grace! You do your husband great honour, but more importantly, you show respect and love to Our Father.
OMG THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! some many people say that women are opressed by this I have been tring to teach this to some of my christian friends I am muslim
Thank you, nice video. I am a muslim and I wear hijab. I remember when i was in the states, i used to meet AMESH women in the market and we smile at eacjh other because we look different. BTW, we also wear it as a submision for God
so that IS saying that if you don't cover your hair, you should just cut it all off!
So by not wearing a covering even if you have long hair, is a disgrace or dishonors your head. so I think that wearing a covering for me is showing my submission to God. Not my husband! I'm not married! So anyways. My Mother and I have started practicing it. At first we didnt really know but I really got into the verse and God spoke to me.
thats what they say if they refuse to wear head coverings that they must shave it off though im not sure if thats just islam or wheather its part of the christian and jewish traditions
you guys are bound. why would you be given hair if you are suppsed to cover it? this is a rule made by men way back when. jealous men who dont want other men looking at the wives. ugh
It says in 1 Corinthians 11 that the hair is the glory of the woman. Who should the glory goes to: Woman or God? The Lord said that putting on the headcovering is a sign of submission to Him.
@Sealight223 - I think you gave the best explanation. Brief and straight to the point. Two thumbs up!! In a congregational gathering it is not comely for a woman to be flashing her glory (hair) because it takes away attention from God. It's quite simple. The glory of the woman (her hair) is for the enjoyment of her husband... not for everyone. That's why Paul also says it's shameful for a man to have long hair... it's because he can look feminine.
Be real careful in not becoming legalistic, my Dads side of the family is amish. You also might want to look up 1 Cor 11 all the way through. God is the head of Jesus than man, then woman the order in which God has placed. Watch paul washer youbers!!
I apologize for being long-winded this is my final response:)
Verse 16 "But if any man seem to be contentious (quarrelsome) WE HAVE NO SUCH CUSTOM, neither the churches of God." If my understanding is poor, show me truth, thank you. Have a wonderful day everyone!
Verse 12 is awesome also, "For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God." V. 13 tells us to judge in ourselves if it is comely for a woman to pray to God uncovered.
Hello Sis. Lumbeeelady. Yes I understand verse 6. But if we go down farther to verse 11 there's a key word there, which is "Nevertheless" which means (however; in spite of that). "Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord."
Finally, Ephesians 2:8-9 "For ye are saved by grace through faith; AND THAT NOT OF YOURSELVES; IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD. 9- Not of works lest any man should boast." Modesty is so beautiful and right. We shouldn't base our faith on outward works. We must be careful because ugly pride will show it's head when we open ourselves up to it. Father desires a gentle and quiet spirit in His daughters. Pray for me. Have a great day:)
If you continue reading, verse 15 says "But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: FOR HER HAIR IS GIVEN HER FOR A COVERING." The Word of God just told us women that our HAIR is our COVERING. If we are not careful we will become self-righteous in our works- which will not save us. We are saved through the blood of Jesus Christ.
If you re read the scriptures sister. We see in verse 6 "For if the woman BE NOT covered, let her ALSO (then) be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered." That's clearly saying to me to be covered with something over her hair...if not let her also be shaved...but if its a shame for a woman to be shaven...LIKEWISE let her be covered. BLESS you sister...for being such a beautiful example and servant for our KING by obedience!
@lumbeeelady So, place hair in context: if a woman does not have long hair, then let her cut her hair. That makes noooo sense whatsoever. Seems to me, it is not talking about her hair...
""woman oughts to have authority on her head for the angels
but like the woman from the man so the man from the woman and everything from God"(is created)
judge for yourselves :should woman pray to God without head covering?"
when they pray tO GOD!/+IN CHURCH!!!/for the ANGELS
when something is specified is so for a reason .explicitely sais when pray in church when could simply not add those words and just say :women should wear head covering
Without rightly dividing the word of truth the results can be devastation and confusion. 1Corinthians 11. Apostle Paul talks about head coverings, the head of man is Christ. The head of the woman is the man. Many people stop there. But you cannot stop there you must read it all and have the Spirit of truth to teach you the Word of God.
Actually, a woman's HAIR is her glory--the veil is covering that glory. And if you read that to mean that nothing else in her life is important, then you are willingly misreading it, in my opinion. I think many people, particularly feminists, are just looking for things to criticize when it comes to issues of modesty, submission, etc. They are very defensive. Obviously God tells us children are a blessing in the Bible. This passage refers to a woman's physical appearance, in particular.
And as far as pride goes...I think today's woman has no shortage of pride. Many women today not only think the world should revolve around them, but also think of men as scum beneath their feet. I'm not saying everyone thinks this, but the idea is too prevalent. I think everyone, and modernist women in particular, could use a good dose of humility. Myself included.
1 Corinthians 11:15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering. ok lets look at this verse and i wanna look at one part for for now "for her hair is given her for a covering." now lets replace some words "for her vail is given her for a covering." lets try it this way "for the dogs hair is given him for a covering." does that say that the vail or the dogs hair is there covering? if not then tell me what it says if we were to say it like that?
You mentioned you get questioned from those in your workplace. If you mean you work outside the home, unless your husband insists wouldn't that not be inline with Titus 2:5, ...keepers at home...?
have no clue why you mentioned dictatorship, God created the order. Still a odd coupling but Im glad your living modestly and in God's order. God Bless you and yours
Thanks for sharing Anna! It was nice to hear the reasons why you choose to wear a head covering. I've never thought about it too much other than expecting traditional/cultural reasons. Certainly it is nice to hear that modesty and showing your respect and love for God plays a huge part.
You are saying you are wearing to as a symbol of submission to God. That is a noble thing but, you say the bible says it is a sign of submission to your husband, but you say i don't want to wear it like that... A person who submits to God, will sumbit to anything what so ever Gog the Almighty and the most merciful demands. If God is the most knowlegable then we shouldn't say make your own interpretations
wearing the head cover is a submission to God not her husband. You must have didn't listen carefully enough and you probally haven't read that verse in the bible.
have no clue how a woman of God could find out about headcoverings yet fights the point about headship between her husband and her role in a christian family. Odd combo
My relationship with my husband is not outwardly "patriarchal" in the sense you probably know. He is not a choleric dictator. We decide things together. Sometimes I might know how to approach a subject better than he; sometimes it is the reverse. I am no bossy feminist!
well the way i see it even if the man is the head of the woman, that dosnt mean is is really the head of the household and family or her true bosss. Eevn though he maay be her head, she is the true boss of him and the true head of the household and family . Atleast thats the way it should be.:)
Also, in the Bible it refers to believers as being all one body. All parts of the body have their place- the body can't exist without the head, but the head cannot exist without the body, either. I think the point is that they are paired up, as though the two would make one body, and must compromise and work together. Also, whatever the one does to damage the other also damages them.
actually he is the head of the house hold and her boss. It is the west that says she is the head of the house hold and the boss over him. But they both make decisions together on stuff. But boss doesn't mean he can do whatever he wants and she can't.
I am a Roman Catholic woman, and I think that headcoverings are beautiful - some more than others. I think a woman's beauty is enhanced and her face framed by a veil or shawl or bonnet etc. However, I draw the line at baseball caps.
I feel a beautiful outfit without a beautiful head adornment is like a sentence without a full-stop.
Good for you. You are completely correct. Christian women have been wearing coverings from the very beginning and it was only in the last century that they stopped the practice. The carvings on the catacombs in Rome from the first two centuries AD show Christian women worshiping with coverings. If the first Christian women did this and they carried it through the ages, I think it is arrogant for modern Christians to assume they were ignorant and did not know what they were doing. Bless you.
hi! i dont understand you people why you insist on this head-covering...i think it originated in the desert areas where harsh weather could ruin a woman's beauty , or maybe the veil protected her from sand .
europe's ancient populations didnt use that...as far as i know...
wouldnt it be better if people concentrate on their behavior instead of "righteous" appearing ,veils and so/ i mean right now some child id dying of malnutrition somewhere in a poor country....
Yes they did!The wore coifs,veils, snoods, French hoods,wimples and all sorts of other coverings!It wasnt proper for married women especially to be uncovered.Since when did the fact that terrible things happening in the world mean that we deny principles of our faith?They same God that said feed the hungary said its prper for women to pray covered.If we cant obey in something so simple is our charity in other matters true charity?They are commands from the same God.Why obey 1 and not another?
I never said it was. BUT if you read early Christian writtings on the matter,particularly Tertullians, who did believe that all women should be veiled in public, you will find that some early Christians did believe it was for married women only and this belief was apparently so widly held that it had enough substance for a church father to write against it.
can ik ask a qustion....why when a non muslim makes a video about hijab people are so nice but when a muslim makes one people are so raciest and think there opressed.....bty very nice video God bless u
Why do you wear a headcovering to work? The instructions for headcovering in 1 Corinthians 11 is in the context of public worship. There is no need to wear head coverings outside the assembly of believers.
The context is prayer, not public prayer. It can be cumbersome for a woman to find her head-covering and put it whenever she wants to pray during the day. We should be praying through out the day, not just at worship service.
The new living translation says in 1 Corinthians 11:13 "Is it right for a woman to pray to God IN PUBLIC without covering her head?"
I don't believe this is speaking of individual prayer time, but the expression of God's order in the corporate gathering of the local church. Chapters 11 - 14 are Paul's instructions for public worship. The Corinthians were disorderly, so Paul gave this church guidance for Godly order when they come TOGETHER.
"in public" is an insertion by the P.C.-NLT. Sorry man, but no go: it's not in the Greek, it's an interpolation, manipulation, and intrusion, a deception...not a help!
Don't let your opinions about the NLT color the intent of the passage. IN CONTEXT, the passage is talking about issues when meeting together. V. 17 (directly after talking about headcoverings: "In giving this instruction, I do not praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse. Then, Paul talks of other ways in which Christians, WHEN MEETING TOGETHER are not pleasing the Lord. This was intended for issues in corporate worship, not individual daily lives.
Sorry, this is still an insertion to be PC; the passage in question (before the next clause of v.17) is about a show of suboordination which obedience is between a woman and God. Do I think a woman couldn't pray if she just didn't have anything? No. But the NLT takes this specific verse, which is something between the woman and God, and makes it about other people.
And what do you mean "my views on the NLT"? Have I told you any?
P.S. I'm not against people arguing that; but there's a difference, in our idiom, between "in public" and "in corporate worship"; NLT, more than likely, interpolates these words here to make it appear as if the passage is concerned with culture (which context dictates, at verse 2 of this chapter, that Paul has given them this instruction himself, and which all documentation until this century shows the understanding of this passage to be), translating along ideological, not contextual, grounds.
@jingerbee What has that to do with anything? How appropriate an example of idiomatic differences: I'm around girls who use "dude" towards one another all the time. : ) There is, by the way, no difference between public or private in these passages: the specific injunction under our view has to do with praying to God: the whole Christian Church until this century witnessed to this in that women everywhere at least covered their heads when they prayed, often throughout the day for praying often.
Ok, I'm a Christian, I always dress modestly. I understand that it is your choice, and I'm in no way trying to be rude.
But, in the Bible when it talks about a woman having her head covered, it also says that a woman's hair is given to her for her covering. I Cor. 11 specifies that a woman's uncut hair is given to her as a covering. I do not cut my hair, so I've always been taught that I do not have to wear a head covering.
and you are exactly right, I used to belong to a apostolic church where they preached that women and girls wear head coverings, But thank God for deliverance, because that's not scripture, that's man doctrine...a woman's hair is her covering, Back in Paul's day, in the church of Corinth, women would come in the church with bald heads, that's the reason women would wear those head coverings or doilies, but your hair is your covering and or veil...
I believe the objection to that interpretation (that a woman's hair is the only covering she needs) is that the scripture goes on to say that if she is without her covering, she might as well be shaven. So if her hair WAS her covering, wouldn't that be redundant? "If a woman has no hair then her hair ought to be cut off".
It is interesting that this was voted-down by someone when all bKiwiD did was point-out the text. That is, indeed, true, and to read it as "hair" is anachronistic of desires of our times into the text, rather than following either it, or history; please people, be more upright than voting against someone who merely mentions a true fact.
@stripes2382 There are two strikingly contrasting words used for "veil", & the "covering" that you speak of as referencing hair; the action of covering her head refers to some real material article, while what you speak of with regards hair means "mantle", which the word calls here glory...and demands be covered in prayer to God. What bKiwiD pointed out (correctly) also refutes your bad reading on this point--sorry to put it so bluntly; you've been taught incorrectly on this point.
Your argument is illogical. Why would the most lustful need to dress modestly to protect the eyes and hearts of those who don't need them to be so modest? Also, while we women mustn't ultimately be blamed for rape, it is clear that women do endanger themselves by flaunting their sexuality in front of strange men in public. Rape happens even in Amish communities, but out in the world women dressing 'sexy' contributes to a culture where men are more sexually manic than they might otherwise be.
@10ago - I don't agree with your argument at all.... but I also do agree that we men need to dress modestly. Women are attracted to looks just the same. If you go back to Victorian England... certain clothes were worn for men to "show off" certain aspects of their body as well. Even the Olympics and bodybuilding were done naked in ancient Greece... but they did it more to promote homosexuality. I as a man now try not to wear shorts - "tank tops" - immodestly cut pants in public.
The veil is a Christian thing. It was worn by Byzantine Christian women and has adopted by Muslims around the 12th centuary. Muslim women never wore it before that.
Yes, veiling in a Christian thing. The Byzantine Christian women did wear headcoverings and all the Early Orthodox Christians wore one, especially when attending Church. In our modern day, Orthodox Christian women continue to cover their heads in Church.
@VivaPink - actually veiling goes back long before "Christanity". Women have worn veils for thousands of years prior as a sign of modesty. Remember when Rebekah was going to meet Isaac - when she realized it was him - she put on a veil to be modest. Likewise Jacob didn't know it was Leah because she was veiled. Even in China women would wear veils... it's really something that should just be natural... but our modern society has become so twisted "they call good - evil and evil - good".
I'm quite certain one of the earliest garments ever worn in the desert was a shawl worn over the head. Think about it. In the desert, the sun beats down on your head, and in the evenings, you lose most of your body heat through your head. The only scantily clad traditional people are forest people who live in the shade of trees.
I totally agree with you on the headcovering. But I don't think women should wear it when they're not praying or prophecising, that is, most of the time outside church. When they're not in church I believe that the hair is their veil.

Thank you for your video. I'm a Christian man and I appreciate your submission to God and your willingness to show it with a head covering. However, it does no good if all the sisters our churches are wearing head coverings but they're NOT submitting to God in other ways. I don't think Christian women have to wear head coverings, but they do need to be submissive to God whether they wear head coverings or not. All Christians should do their best to be submissive to God, women and men alike.

It was a custom for women to wear their hair long in the time of Paul. It is not relevant today Nobody but strange people could get sexually aroused by women's hair now. After all Sinéad O' Connor shaves her hair and Jade Goody as a result of her cancer treatment was bald on her wedding day. She died shortly after.

@irishxxkelt Try covering your hair with a scarf and see how "sexy" you look. Chances are, not very. There is a big difference between how a woman looks when covered and when she is not. Hair really DOES make a woman more beautiful (and men DO notice), so it's not necessarily about if the man gets turned on or not due to the hair alone, but more like the complete package. You know what I'm saying? A girl wearing a head covering and modest clothes demands respect. But to each his or HER own.

Have you ever noticed that in some 'modern' churches men of course have no veil on their head but women don't have any either.
Conclusion : men DON' T dishonour Christ their head but women DO dishonour men their head. Men care but women don't care. They just care about themselves and their obnoxious 'rights' whispered by Satan.
Females have no sense of hierarchy or respect contrary to men.

Great video and explanantion! I encourage you to carry on. You are setting a good example. You also made a good point that it's only recently that this changed. Tthe only thing is that it sounded like you were making it sound as if being in a patriarchal marriage is wrong. Patriarchal doesn't mean that a husband and wife are not "friends" as you put it... nor does it mean the man looks down on the woman. I didn't hear you talk about it enough... but I know many have that misconception.

Hi, just wanted to say I agree with you about head coverings, but what's up with the 'I submit to God not my husband' stuff? If you submit to God, as we're all meant to do, that means you've got to submit to your husband, since that's what God says. Perhaps that is what you meant, but it didn't really come across. And also, when the Bereans heard the apostle Paul preach to them, they searched the scriptures to see if what he said was true - not the history of religious practise.

Infinitelink: my comment is clear. The passage has a context, and that context is Paul addressing the church with regard to issues WHEN THEY MEET TOGETHER, not individually.

I live in Amish/Mennonite/German Baptist country so this is not a new thing to me at all. What I have wondered is not about the headcoverings themselves, but why the tight buns under the bonnets. The headcovering subject is certainly an interesting one, but I can't see anything in the Bible about wadding hair up. Is that for convenience? I was always told that ponytails, if worn frequently, would cause balding over time. I assume it would be the same with buns and braids? Both give me headaches!

I am an Orthodox Christian woman from an old line, many devout generations. There is absolutely no valid reason whatsoever for covering the heads of young girls & women as a matter of principle. This is not any kind of Christian teaching -- nothing more than a custom left over from the days when indoor plumbing was unheard of, water had to be fetched from a well & heated for bathing. Covering the hair was simply a convenient way to keep it clean, especially as girls & women mostly wore it long.

@miamniam Greetings sister! Christ is in our midst! It is very important to know the history of not only your church but also what the church has taught since its inception under Christ. I respect your point of view but I have to disagree with your understanding. Not only did St. Paul teach this practice, this was bee the practice up until around 100 years ago when women in America started to change with their culture. This is not following Christ but the world. Harsh yes, but honest and true.
onef8th 1 year ago
@onef8th I do not about America, but in Europe women covering their heads was customary/traditional, not religious. "To get under the bonnet" in German means to get married - meaning unmarried women do not wear the bonnet. Also it was outdoor clothing in many European cultures, and not dress in front of any man one is not related to, which Islam specifically regulates, but not Christianity.
Also Christian scholars teach Paul was referring to head covering in religious practice - Jewish women

had to cover their hair in the temple, and this was likely taken over by Paul.
If I were a Christian I'd have serious doubts the messenger and son of God would not have talked about this substantial issue - like many Christians themselves I find the decision to include Paul's scriptures into the Bible quite shady I must say. it was a decision of early Christian authorities - not word of God to many Christians, and I understand why they would feel this way.

nothing wrong with covering the head if you feel the Spirit of God convincing you to do it. I personally prefer the "handkerchief" or veil covering instead of the bonnet, the bonnets make women wear their hair up or short and it looks less feminine.

I will be perfectly honest & tell you that if we worked together, I would certainly be polite and never say anything to make you uncomfortable at your job but I would not, in my heart, have a positive response to what you are doing.
I suspect that if a person flouts current ideas and fashions so visibly that no one can fail to see their rejection of the larger culture, that there is negative moral judgment and possibly anger issues behind such actions. In other words, it seems mighty hostile.

This sheds some light on the question as to whether or not the covering is just a culture thing or a teaching for the Christian women to cover their hair. My dear Brothers and Sisters all who in every place call upon the name of Jesus, are you called to be saints? Do you call on the name of Jesus? If so then I firmly believe that this series of letters (teaching on head covering) applies to you as does the rest of Gods Word. God bless you as you seek to apply His Word to your life!!

This verse is in the second verse of the opening letter to the Corinthians. In this verse we can plainly see that Paul is primarily addressing the problems of the church at Corinth.

I'm not married! So anyways. My Mother and I have started practicing it. At first we didnt really know but I really got into the verse and God spoke to me.

The glory of the woman (her hair) is for the enjoyment of her husband... not for everyone. That's why Paul also says it's shameful for a man to have long hair... it's because he can look feminine.

Hello Sis. Lumbeeelady. Yes I understand verse 6. But if we go down farther to verse 11 there's a key word there, which is "Nevertheless" which means (however; in spite of that). "Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord."

Pray for me. Have a great day:)
lastdays77711 2 years ago
If you continue reading, verse 15 says "But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: FOR HER HAIR IS GIVEN HER FOR A COVERING." The Word of God just told us women that our HAIR is our COVERING. If we are not careful we will become self-righteous in our works- which will not save us. We are saved through the blood of Jesus Christ.

If you re read the scriptures sister. We see in verse 6 "For if the woman BE NOT covered, let her ALSO (then) be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered."

Actually, a woman's HAIR is her glory--the veil is covering that glory. And if you read that to mean that nothing else in her life is important, then you are willingly misreading it, in my opinion. I think many people, particularly feminists, are just looking for things to criticize when it comes to issues of modesty, submission, etc. They are very defensive. Obviously God tells us children are a blessing in the Bible. This passage refers to a woman's physical appearance, in particular.

And as far as pride goes...I think today's woman has no shortage of pride. Many women today not only think the world should revolve around them, but also think of men as scum beneath their feet. I'm not saying everyone thinks this, but the idea is too prevalent. I think everyone, and modernist women in particular, could use a good dose of humility. Myself included.

1 Corinthians 11:15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering. ok lets look at this verse and i wanna look at one part for for now "for her hair is given her for a covering." now lets replace some words "for her vail is given her for a covering." lets try it this way "for the dogs hair is given him for a covering." does that say that the vail or the dogs hair is there covering? if not then tell me what it says if we were to say it like that?

Thanks for sharing Anna! It was nice to hear the reasons why you choose to wear a head covering. I've never thought about it too much other than expecting traditional/cultural reasons. Certainly it is nice to hear that modesty and showing your respect and love for God plays a huge part.

Dear sister Ana,
You are saying you are wearing to as a symbol of submission to God. That is a noble thing but, you say the bible says it is a sign of submission to your husband, but you say i don't want to wear it like that... A person who submits to God, will sumbit to anything what so ever Gog the Almighty and the most merciful demands. If God is the most knowlegable then we shouldn't say make your own interpretations

wearing the head cover is a submission to God not her husband. You must have didn't listen carefully enough and you probally haven't read that verse in the bible.

have no clue how a woman of God could find out about headcoverings yet fights the point about headship between her husband and her role in a christian family. Odd combo

My relationship with my husband is not outwardly "patriarchal" in the sense you probably know. He is not a choleric dictator. We decide things together. Sometimes I might know how to approach a subject better than he; sometimes it is the reverse. I am no bossy feminist!

well the way i see it even if the man is the head of the woman, that dosnt mean is is really the head of the household and family or her true bosss. Eevn though he maay be her head, she is the true boss of him and the true head of the household and family . Atleast thats the way it should be.:)
cuchulain55 3 years ago
Also, in the Bible it refers to believers as being all one body. All parts of the body have their place- the body can't exist without the head, but the head cannot exist without the body, either. I think the point is that they are paired up, as though the two would make one body, and must compromise and work together. Also, whatever the one does to damage the other also damages them.

actually he is the head of the house hold and her boss. It is the west that says she is the head of the house hold and the boss over him. But they both make decisions together on stuff. But boss doesn't mean he can do whatever he wants and she can't.

I am a Roman Catholic woman, and I think that headcoverings are beautiful - some more than others. I think a woman's beauty is enhanced and her face framed by a veil or shawl or bonnet etc. However, I draw the line at baseball caps.
I feel a beautiful outfit without a beautiful head adornment is like a sentence without a full-stop.

Good for you. You are completely correct. Christian women have been wearing coverings from the very beginning and it was only in the last century that they stopped the practice. The carvings on the catacombs in Rome from the first two centuries AD show Christian women worshiping with coverings. If the first Christian women did this and they carried it through the ages, I think it is arrogant for modern Christians to assume they were ignorant and did not know what they were doing. Bless you.

hi! i dont understand you people why you insist on this head-covering...i think it originated in the desert areas where harsh weather could ruin a woman's beauty , or maybe the veil protected her from sand .
europe's ancient populations didnt use that...as far as i know...
wouldnt it be better if people concentrate on their behavior instead of "righteous" appearing ,veils and so/ i mean right now some child id dying of malnutrition somewhere in a poor country....

Yes they did!The wore coifs,veils, snoods, French hoods,wimples and all sorts of other coverings!It wasnt proper for married women especially to be uncovered.Since when did the fact that terrible things happening in the world mean that we deny principles of our faith?They same God that said feed the hungary said its prper for women to pray covered.If we cant obey in something so simple is our charity in other matters true charity?They are commands from the same God.Why obey 1 and not another?

Just so you know, the text of 1 Cor 11 is about women in general, not just married women.

I never said it was. BUT if you read early Christian writtings on the matter,particularly Tertullians, who did believe that all women should be veiled in public, you will find that some early Christians did believe it was for married women only and this belief was apparently so widly held that it had enough substance for a church father to write against it.

Why do you wear a headcovering to work? The instructions for headcovering in 1 Corinthians 11 is in the context of public worship. There is no need to wear head coverings outside the assembly of believers.
jingerbee 3 years ago
The context is prayer, not public prayer. It can be cumbersome for a woman to find her head-covering and put it whenever she wants to pray during the day. We should be praying through out the day, not just at worship service.
Ty806 3 years ago
The new living translation says in 1 Corinthians 11:13 "Is it right for a woman to pray to God IN PUBLIC without covering her head?"
I don't believe this is speaking of individual prayer time, but the expression of God's order in the corporate gathering of the local church. Chapters 11 - 14 are Paul's instructions for public worship. The Corinthians were disorderly, so Paul gave this church guidance for Godly order when they come TOGETHER.
jingerbee 3 years ago
"in public" is an insertion by the P.C.-NLT. Sorry man, but no go: it's not in the Greek, it's an interpolation, manipulation, and intrusion, a deception...not a help!
I think that's frank enough.
infinitelink 3 years ago
Don't let your opinions about the NLT color the intent of the passage. IN CONTEXT, the passage is talking about issues when meeting together. V. 17 (directly after talking about headcoverings: "In giving this instruction, I do not praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse. Then, Paul talks of other ways in which Christians, WHEN MEETING TOGETHER are not pleasing the Lord. This was intended for issues in corporate worship, not individual daily lives.
jingerbee 3 years ago
Sorry, this is still an insertion to be PC; the passage in question (before the next clause of v.17) is about a show of suboordination which obedience is between a woman and God. Do I think a woman couldn't pray if she just didn't have anything? No. But the NLT takes this specific verse, which is something between the woman and God, and makes it about other people.
And what do you mean "my views on the NLT"? Have I told you any?
infinitelink 3 years ago
P.S. I'm not against people arguing that; but there's a difference, in our idiom, between "in public" and "in corporate worship"; NLT, more than likely, interpolates these words here to make it appear as if the passage is concerned with culture (which context dictates, at verse 2 of this chapter, that Paul has given them this instruction himself, and which all documentation until this century shows the understanding of this passage to be), translating along ideological, not contextual, grounds.

@jingerbee What has that to do with anything? How appropriate an example of idiomatic differences: I'm around girls who use "dude" towards one another all the time. : ) There is, by the way, no difference between public or private in these passages: the specific injunction under our view has to do with praying to God: the whole Christian Church until this century witnessed to this in that women everywhere at least covered their heads when they prayed, often throughout the day for praying often.

@Ty806 In /. lingo, "mod up".
infinitelink 1 year ago
Ok, I'm a Christian, I always dress modestly. I understand that it is your choice, and I'm in no way trying to be rude.
But, in the Bible when it talks about a woman having her head covered, it also says that a woman's hair is given to her for her covering. I Cor. 11 specifies that a woman's uncut hair is given to her as a covering. I do not cut my hair, so I've always been taught that I do not have to wear a head covering.
stripes2382 3 years ago
and you are exactly right, I used to belong to a apostolic church where they preached that women and girls wear head coverings, But thank God for deliverance, because that's not scripture, that's man doctrine...a woman's hair is her covering, Back in Paul's day, in the church of Corinth, women would come in the church with bald heads, that's the reason women would wear those head coverings or doilies, but your hair is your covering and or veil...
cbama26 3 years ago
yep so true!
kiekie84 2 years ago
I believe the objection to that interpretation (that a woman's hair is the only covering she needs) is that the scripture goes on to say that if she is without her covering, she might as well be shaven. So if her hair WAS her covering, wouldn't that be redundant? "If a woman has no hair then her hair ought to be cut off".
bKiwiD 3 years ago 2
It is interesting that this was voted-down by someone when all bKiwiD did was point-out the text. That is, indeed, true, and to read it as "hair" is anachronistic of desires of our times into the text, rather than following either it, or history; please people, be more upright than voting against someone who merely mentions a true fact.
infinitelink 3 years ago
amen! me too
kiekie84 2 years ago
@stripes2382 There are two strikingly contrasting words used for "veil", & the "covering" that you speak of as referencing hair; the action of covering her head refers to some real material article, while what you speak of with regards hair means "mantle", which the word calls here glory...and demands be covered in prayer to God. What bKiwiD pointed out (correctly) also refutes your bad reading on this point--sorry to put it so bluntly; you've been taught incorrectly on this point.

totallybarefoot 3 years ago
The common belief is that men generally have a powerful craveing for sex and women don't.
If that's true it should be males who need to protect their modesty by covering and not women.
Whether you know it or not, women who cover are sending the message that they are to blame for the crime of rape.
You are not practicing religion you are practising s&m. Must you make the rest of us witness to your perversion?
10ago 3 years ago
Your argument is illogical. Why would the most lustful need to dress modestly to protect the eyes and hearts of those who don't need them to be so modest? Also, while we women mustn't ultimately be blamed for rape, it is clear that women do endanger themselves by flaunting their sexuality in front of strange men in public. Rape happens even in Amish communities, but out in the world women dressing 'sexy' contributes to a culture where men are more sexually manic than they might otherwise be.
bKiwiD 3 years ago
@10ago - I don't agree with your argument at all.... but I also do agree that we men need to dress modestly. Women are attracted to looks just the same. If you go back to Victorian England... certain clothes were worn for men to "show off" certain aspects of their body as well. Even the Olympics and bodybuilding were done naked in ancient Greece... but they did it more to promote homosexuality. I as a man now try not to wear shorts - "tank tops" - immodestly cut pants in public.

The veil is a Christian thing. It was worn by Byzantine Christian women and has adopted by Muslims around the 12th centuary. Muslim women never wore it before that.
Krapuniverse 3 years ago 4
Yes, veiling in a Christian thing. The Byzantine Christian women did wear headcoverings and all the Early Orthodox Christians wore one, especially when attending Church. In our modern day, Orthodox Christian women continue to cover their heads in Church.
VivaPink 3 years ago 6
@VivaPink - actually veiling goes back long before "Christanity". Women have worn veils for thousands of years prior as a sign of modesty. Remember when Rebekah was going to meet Isaac - when she realized it was him - she put on a veil to be modest. Likewise Jacob didn't know it was Leah because she was veiled. Even in China women would wear veils... it's really something that should just be natural... but our modern society has become so twisted "they call good - evil and evil - good".

I'm quite certain one of the earliest garments ever worn in the desert was a shawl worn over the head. Think about it. In the desert, the sun beats down on your head, and in the evenings, you lose most of your body heat through your head. The only scantily clad traditional people are forest people who live in the shade of trees.
