Common Problems with wearing the Christian Headcovering Part 1

[Meep12252011]

Why ask your husband to cover the back of your head. You are your own person and you chose what you do. God said that women are a companion to the man not the property of the man.

[1987miller1]

@radicallyforjesus this video is totally against Bible teaching! Your husband is not God and going against God to submit to your husband is not the kind of submission God has in mind at all!

What happened to Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5:1-11? They agreed together to lie and what was the outcome? She submitted!!! Was she saved because she did? ".... with God all things are possible!" Don't undermine the power of God! He gives strength to always do what's right!

[radicallyforjesus]

@1987miller1 They conspired together to do something that was clearly against God's way. The headcovering issue is different entirely. It isnt a sin issue. It is an honor/dishonor per the scriptures. But the very nature of the headship order it represents shows obedience to the husband is required. To disobey over the headcovering even defies logic. Now if he asks her to acutally sin, I do believe she must obey God as the higher command. But it must be a very clear issue.

[1987miller1]

@radicallyforjesus 1Co 14:37, "If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord." God's word needs to be obeyed the whole way through! What Paul was writing came from God. To disobey God IS A SIN ISSUE! Truth is truth whether you believe it or not!

[radicallyforjesus]

@1987miller1 Respectfully, I could quote the same scripture back in making my point too. Sarah is even commended or obeying in what many might call a sticky situation. I agree 100% with you in what you saying, except that Paul specifically calls it a honor/dishonor issue. I strongly believe is obeying the word. But obedience to the husband is required as well. Paul upholds the very fact that the wife is to obey her husband right within the headcovering scriputures. cont'd

[radicallyforjesus]

@1987miller1 Obviously I believe in covering, I do wear one. I am not arguing that point at all. But in those cases where a husband forbids his wife to cover, he is bringing dishonor on himself.(her head) I do believe she must sincerely and in a humble manner ask for the permission, she must pray that he will grant it. Many husbands will. Some won't. contd

[radicallyforjesus]

@1987miller1 But if he denies her, then I believe she must submit and continue to pray that he might relent. May we all do our best to follow the narrow path. IF I am wrong then indeed I pray that God would show me that, but I nor my husband, do we see that it is acceptable to disobey regarding the headcovering. In Christ...(sorry for the long post)

[renjac2011]

I am having that situation about my husband does not want me to Cover.:(

[radicallyforjesus]

@renjac2011 I am sorry to hear that, I know it can be hard. I know other sisters in that situation. God knows your heart and it is right to obey your husband.

[akissy]

This is a very legitimate question, I'm not here to troll.

Why should I obey my husband so blindly?

I was raised to think on my own, to make my own responsible, sensible, and mature decisions over my body, mind, and soul. I'm an intelligent woman who is capable of walking alone in this life if I so wished to do it. Why should I relinquish all that and obey somebody who makes mistakes just as myself? o.o

[radicallyforjesus]

@akissy Obedience isnt necessarily blind. It doent make us any less of a thinking and feeling individual. It isnt so evil as it made out to be. It is an act of love, and selflessness. Obedience to ones husband is something that God very much laid out in the scriptures. No organization, company, miliatary, country, anything....can really function well without a chain of command.

[akissy]

@radicallyforjesus You can't compare marriage to an organization. There there's people who know more than others and hence can command them. My husband doesn't know more than I do what is best for me. He might have other type of knowledge, that's why we complement each other. But he has no real right to be above me, or him to be below me. We are equals. o.o We take decisions together.

[itsraininglool]

religion is bullshit in general...

[mrspridy]

@itsraininglool

is that an argument?

[itsraininglool]

@mrspridy NO BUT ITS TRUE LOLOLOL

[radicallyforjesus]

@oregonisboring He has given permission yes. Futhermore, when I have wanted to stop making videos, he said that I shouldn't.

[forbotecol54]

Hi this is your widower friend again. Once more my late wife would have appreciated your video very much. We were with the Plymouth Brethren, who are not plain, but are modest. And while they have their own sort of head covering, (resembles a doily) they accept anything decent that implies obedience to scripture. Some wear nice hats. Personally, if it's not a "plain" covering, I like bandannas but not loud colors.

Good work. Keep it up sister!

[OpenEye73]

Thought hair was your head covering??

[radicallyforjesus]

@OpenEye73 I believe the hair is 'a' covering, but I don't believe it is the main covering scripture is calling for. Otherwise mose of the verses discussing it, don't even make sense. The man would have to remove his hair for prayer, also look closely at verse 6, doesn't make sense at all if the hair is the only covering. Also if you go back to the greek, the word for covering is an actual cloth. I do think though that long hair is a woman's glory and still part of the whole concept.

[TheViciousPotato]

Lovely voice though**

[TheViciousPotato]

I'm sorry, but this is rubbish. Made me cringe the entire time. You have a love

[RoslynJoyJohnson]

Surely painted nails indicate a scarlet woman!

[Malwina77ful]

head was covered only in corinth

only there

the Bible says that you have to have at least 2 witnesses for every thing

and the head covering was written only to the church in corinth

because of their specific situiation with prostitutes

learn before you want to teach

head covering paul talked about was only in prayer, woman

[Imogen1885]

@keytomyheart My thought is that there is authority above God and God does not put intermediaries between us and him, not a priest, not a husband. Anyone could interpret the bible and say, this is how it should be. Whichever way we look at it we pick and choose what we believe or take literally or we would all be plucking our eyes out and cutting our legs off. If you want to cover from head to toe, it is your right. If you choose not to that too is your right. Submit only to God.

[Imogen1885]

What would you do if your husband insisted you wear a short skirt and a tight blouse? How far does your submission go? If your husband demanded you be immodest, how would you respond to that?

[Thatsamistery]

@Imogen1885 I"m not into head covering or anything like that, but God is first in your life. He said dress modest. So you do so. I believe that you should obey God first over your husband. So if your husband say wear a tight skirt, show him the scriptrues where God said no, and don't listen to him. That how I feel, hope that helps! :)

[shibakim]

So as long as sisters don't use their husbands disaproval to excuse thier desire not to cover their head. If any sisters who truly seek to follow God's will in this issue of head covering & if their husband stand in the way then they should earnestly pray to God for their husband of course with their head covered. And I'm very sure God will change their husbands into a godly man who wants to do what's right before God.

[gymdawgsrule100]

Thanks for posting.. that is something I was wondering about myself.

[TheVeiledCatholic]

I agree... The Husband is the one that should make the decision on head covering...

[locigallady]

you are right it's more important to obey your husband then to cover

i'm not a married women but i do cover do you think that it's right?

[radicallyforjesus]

@locigallady I don't think there is a thing wrong with an unmarried woman or a daughter covering. It simply shows she is willing to submit to the headship order. And that order exists even if she doesn't have a husband yet/currently. Now it might be argued that she doesn't absolutely have to, but I definitely do not think it is a bad thing. If I had a daughter, I would probably have her cover as long as my husband agreed. Better to learn God's ways while young, less struggle later in life.

[locigallady]

@radicallyforjesus

thanks for your answer

i like the way you dress and cover it's really modest i unfortunatelly can't claim this for my cloths i try to wear modest cloths but mostly i wear a simpel jeans and a t-shirt or pullover i hope that in the future i get the courage to wear more dresses suchas yours

you are a great inspiration for me and i think for other young sisters

[TheVeiledCatholic]

@locigallady ... I have always had the problem to wear dresses... because i didn't have under shorts... though I Love them so much... but now its ok I will learn to make them and dresses

[locigallady]

@TheVeiledCatholic

so you'll sew them yourself?

could you maybe make a video about how you make one please

well i'm not good at sewing or rather better to say i'm a catastroph in sewing^^

what also stopps me from wearing dresses is the weather i live in a rather windy valley do you have any idea on how to make them stay better down

[TheVeiledCatholic]

@locigallady ... I really don't know how to sew... I am going to ask my mom to teach me... I have always loved the art of sewing.... I may suggest long dresses and maybe some leggings underneath to keep your legs warm and if the wind perhaps happens to lift your dress you are covered by the leggings.

@radicallyforjesus

It's more important 2 obey the words of Jesus then 2 please our husbands. Jesus died for us & not our husbands. This issue is more then just submitting 2 our own husbands. Apostle Paul wrote very clearly 'because of the angels'. You know what happened with Lucifer, the fallen angel. we should love our Lord Jesus more then our own husbands. As I commented earlier if our hearts set for Jesus, than through our prayer God can change our husband & make them as warriors for Jesus.
