Bible Question:
Dear FinalSQL, In verse 16 of 1 Cor.11 it says that all the apostles and Churches follow this practice (of women having long hair and men having short hair). Isn't this in keeping with the biblical principal of distinstions between the sexes? |
Bible Answer: I'm going to have to disagree. The practice Paul is referring to, as well as the practice of the churches of God is referring to the quarelling aspect in regards to the head covering. Although Paul points at the similarity of the head covering to the woman's head being covered by her hair, he is not stating one and the same. The church's practice of the head covering was not something to be quarelled over, the practice of wearing the head covering was something to be done. I offer these words humbly and in homes that you follow up and do much more reading in this regards, for the logic of the head covering (if it is indead hair) would then place the man as being disgraced if he has hair. Enjoy your studying, and God bless. |
