Dear Bethany, Welcome to the forum! There is a cultural/historical context for this passage. Understanding that will open to us how we ought to apply the principles in our own context. Much could be written here. However, I believe that A. R. Fausset stated it well when he wrote, "In putting away the veil, she puts away the badge of her subjection to man (which is her true 'honor'), and of her connection with Christ, man's Head. Moreover, the head covering was the emblem of maiden modesty before man (Genesis 24: 65), and chastity (Genesis 20: 16). By its unlawful excitement in assemblies is avoided, women not attracting attention. Scripture sanctions not the emancipation of woman from subjection: modesty is her true ornament." We could sure use a dose of this in our churches today! In Him, Doc |
