[Malwina77ful]

no they are not required

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

@Malwina77ful 1 Cor 11 also talks about commmunion.Since you believe that the headcovering only applied to the Corinthian church, I persume you also believe that communion only applied to them also?

Why do you believe that different rules would apply to only one church and not all the others?

@fanoflittleman I really just have to say (as a non-conservative Bible believing woman) that women who do believe in covering their hair while they pray and worship God (and perhaps all the time) are not 'weak females'. They are just as strong willed as women who don't cover their hair. It's just a small way they can glorify God in their lives. There's something so beautiful about that. I honestly want to cover my hair too even though I wasn't raised to, and that's not because I'm weak.

head coverings r a tradition not a commandment 4 women and they r not mentioned in the Torah as haveing 2 be worn at all.

to truly under stand and know is hard to explain in some ways but we do it because it is a honor to god a tribute of respect if you will. To really under stand you have to see it through our eyes for some things you just cant explain

[violettalough]

I think, we do it because we feel that it's the right thing and we want to wear a covering. My church requires it only during the worship service, but outside of the church we can do as we wish. I chose to cover most of the time, but not at work, because I don't want to look different.

@LachaFliuch

Your RIGHT!!! They DONT apply to only one church... They apply to the ENTIRE body of Christ, they apply throughout time and are NOT cultural or customs... Jesus the same yesterday as today and tomorrow... He is the word of God and His word NEVER changes... "Malvina77ful" has not learned of the truth that you have... It is okay... Keep fighting the good fight...

You are also RIGHT about long hair... It is the woman's GLORY... Her hair is NOT her covering...

AMEN

[TheBrideage]

If your husband is your head and your husbands Head is the Word, you both should have no problem with this: (KJV)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.

[studiousangel]

a woman's covering was her husband. God gave us hair as covering so when that scripture was taught it meant cant pray with out your covering "male" i can show this to you easily in the bible

[NovelistVampireGirl]

in prayer yes, but we are also tod to pray without ceasing

16 Ist aber jemand unter euch, der Lust zu zanken hat, der wisse, daß wir solche Weise nicht haben, die Gemeinden Gottes auch nicht.

11 Doch ist weder der Mann ohne das Weib, noch das Weib ohne den Mann in dem HERRN; 12 denn wie das Weib vom Manne, also kommt auch der Mann durchs Weib; aber alles von Gott. 13 Richtet bei euch selbst, ob es wohl steht, daß ein Weib unbedeckt vor Gott bete. 14 Oder lehrt euch auch nicht die Natur, daß es einem Manne eine Unehre ist, so er das Haar lang wachsen läßt, 15 und dem Weibe eine Ehre, so sie langes Haar hat? Das Haar ist ihr zur Decke gegeben.
