1 | 3 Questions, please help. | 1 Cor 11:15 | SweetT12082 | 93161 | ||
Ok I have a few questions. First is it because of 1Corinthians 11:3-7 that women cover their heads. So are we as women in today's world sinning everyday by not covering our heads? Second are men who wear their hair long sinning? Refer to 1Corinthians 11:15 and if this is true then why does Jesus have long hair or is that just an assumption? And lastly, can women not have short hair? Refer to 1Corinthians 11:15 I'm just a little confused about these things if anyone can help I would be greatful. God Bless. |

Hello SweetT12082, Here's my understanding of it all. Let's start at the beginning. We don't know how long Jesus' hair was. What we know is that shorter hair was typical shown in art pieces of the day. As for 1 Cor 11, understand that the primary teaching is headship and roles in the church. Paul was teaching that a woman would cover heard head to show submission to God and her husband. She is the glory of her man. The man remained uncovered and with short hair to reflect God's glory. To do opposite is in rebellion to God's order. And when you look at the lives of the people who practice the opposite, one can see the rebelliousness in their lives. Just for an historical perspective, the use of a headcovering was standard practice in North American churches until the early 20th century when the women's rights movement began. I do not blame this movement, rather that things went too far. Steve |

3 | Hmmm..... | 1 Cor 11:15 | SweetT12082 | 93168 | ||
So the covering of her hair is not what was meant so we don't have to literally walk around with our heads covered? I think I understand what you mean by it being the roles we have. | ||||||

Hello SweetT12082, Not quite. The covering of the hair IS what was meant. The only thing is that 1 Cor 11-14 was in reference to the gathering of believers for their meetings. That's when the headcovering was important. Steve |
