Subject: Should Women Wear Hats? |
Bible Note: Dear Val, I finally found out how to use the threads and found your comments to others about what I said. Yeah your comment made me think back to something I said to John, that my pastor was teaching about this but was unwilling to make a fight about it because he had other bigger fights to fight (not me, the other women were fighting about it in Bible study and believe me the majority do not wear hats). No one in my church is required to wear hats, nor do I advocate others wear hats just becuase I do. I am sorry you can't see over the hats in your church, hats should not be fine huge things with braided pearls, that ain't modest. I wonder if you thought I was advocating hats from your comment here about putting stumbling blocks? Or that becuase I was concerned about maybe being obedient to excersising the symbol the same way we do baptism or the Lord's supper (I know it ain't on that level honey, but its the priciple). I thought Doc said something interesting about sin and was very surprised that he actually thinks I am walking around wearing a hat and not examining my heart just because I wear a hat. I didn't expect that kind of bias in here especialy from him. John made himself clear, to him it was a big waste of time and a laugh, funny thing about John, he made his strongest comments to me, rather than to the rest of you. Knowledge does puff up so does judging one another's motives. I doubt any one of you took me seriously as someone who was honestly seeking to understand something no one in all their alofness has bothered to answer yet. The question stands, is it just normal to first century Christians, or as Paul describes should we consider it to be a moral issue. When we take scripture and decide it doesn't apply anymore because society has changed that is called transference, taking scripture and changing its application to fit what we believe based on what society is doing today. And that was the basis of my question, not strife causing, not pride, not an unwillingness to examine my heart. I got another notice from you and am trying to comply by numbering the contexts of my questions, the scriptures, if any, and my questions. Now I would like to say, I appreciated it when you told me what you thought... |
