The head covering was not a suggestion in the Bible or in the Church. The problem is not the head covering but the feminist ideology that has permeated the Church and all that comes with it. The head covering is simply about obedience and one following the example and life of the sisters who went on before us.

The issue of Muhammadans and the veil is a non-issue. St. Paul makes it very clear in 1 Corinthians 11 that this is about faithfully submitting to God and his order. A powerful witness..

@onef8th How strange, I was having precisely this thought earlier today. So often women talk about "feeling led to" do it, or "feeling uncomfortable" in some way or other. But really, why should our feelings have anything to do with? It's an authentic Orthodox tradition (Tradition? it's Biblical even!). Why all the discussion and angst? No, I see the use of it, it's unfortunately necessary, but it's becoming so tiresome. (This is me talking to me - I need to get over it and move on.)

she looketh well to the ways of her household and eateth not the bread of idleness...clean up your house.

sister to sister, i am telling you to clean up. not to be mean or self-righteous. it has nothing to do with a head covering, but we can clearly see the room behind you, so this does have something to do with the video. so, please do that.

[MrsShirotora]

@hisboo911 Solomon was wise but I am neither his nor your servant to judge. If we were sisters then you would not assume the worst about me, but perhaps would find out why I have difficulty with housekeeping or offer to help me organize my bookshelves or even just listen w/o judging about my trouble trusting people or anxiety over organization and how it means I can walk past clutter b/c its too overwhelming. Actually it has everything to do with headcovering. But I don't have to explain myself.

Thanks for explaining it to me. Guess I'm not gonna be wearing it to school, my school's dress code doesn't add the "except for religious purposes" part.

[MrsShirotora]

@Julianakun American public high schools are like prisons for teenagers. You may not have committed a crime (yet), but if you're between the ages of 13 and 18, we don't want to see you on the street. Unless you want to join the army. (I begged to go to boarding school to get away from my local public high school. Begged and pleaded.)

@fanoflittleman

whats wrong with looking like a muslim?

[MrsShirotora]

@fanoflittleman You're right. If one does it in a spirit of legalism than nothing is gained. But if one's heart moves one to be obedient to what one believes the Bible and/or church teaches, then there's something lost in not doing so. One could see it as a symbol of obedience or rather willingness to be obedient.

If it makes a women feel good to wear a hijab regardless of her faith then do it! I am not muslim and was born into a Christian family but I am more spiritual and take a little from every religion. Anywhoodles.....I'm ording some scarfs next week and I am going to start wearing the hijab for modesty. It is something I want to do for myself.

I personally agree with what you said because not many people know that Christian women are supposed to cover their heads. For example, I never found out about this until i started researching about it today! Now I want to broadcast it to every Christian & Catholic women I know! :) God bless! And thank you for making this video!

Im a Unitarian Universalist, and I wore my head covered for the first time today! I was anxious cuz I live in a small town. My parents had the worst time with it tho. I'm an adult but see them frequently to help out... My mother was upset and really didn't want to listen to my reasons. My husband however loves the idea of it, and said he thought I was even more beautiful for guarding my modesty and acknowledging his biblical authority over me. I'm so glad to have found your channel! ;)

I wouldn't mind taking off my headcover at an airport or courtroom. But school? I would soooooo wear my headcover to school (but I'm homeschooled, so I don't have that problem)

[lizzieworld13]

i cover my hair as a form of modesty. it just like how women in the 1900s would cover wrist to ankle, covering their head, with gloves. I think we have to know our rights. i would have to take off my head covering in a private place. in my culture hair is a very big thing and its enough of a thing to attract men from it. even when we see the prophets wives in the bible cover, normally it was due to a non family male coming into the room

[coveredhousewife86]

I'm a Catholic woman who covers her head full-time. I honestly would have a problem with being asked to take my head scarf off in school or court. To me, it is an issue of modesty-I started covering my hair before I became more serious about my religion. As far as airport security, I can agree that if we could go to a secluded area (me and a female security guard) then I would take off my scarf so she could search it. These are my thoughts on this issue.

I am a Christian woman who covers the head when in prayer. This is in accordance with the writings of the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians chapter 11: verses 1-16. It is not always the same type of covering, because the mandate is not for any one type of headress. I cover in prayer, or according to my daily dress. This may be a scarf, or snood, as well as a hat. I will happily remove that head cover when it is appropriate; such as in a courtroom. My heart is to honor God, but not to distract.

@CaligirlSofia Why are w looking at the mosem womanl??? lets leave them alone cos it has nothing to do with covering our hair as a chistian woman cos christiam wman was coveringtheir hair way before th islam religion. They keep up according to thier quran and lets keep up according to our bible. If i have common thingwith a mosle woman whic is covering good we r both modest andto be fair mosle womanshouldnt be judge cos they overthier head cos tey do it fo th same reason as we r trying to do.
