I don't know if it's right or not.

But since it universally accepted that covering of the hair is not a sin, why not just cover your hair.

My reason, if you get to heaven and God says it's not a sin you have nothing to lose but if he says otherwise then one has all to lose.

It's necessary for both Women and Men to cover their Hair.

That's why i make the Women tie Scarfs on their Heads and i make the Men wear Durags in my Church.

I don't know what you call prayer oh. But I want to tell you that most times we pray to GOD without knowing we did. Do you want to tell me that if you see yourself in a danger and you need to talk to GOD to deliver you urgently, that you will not pray if you don't have your hair tie?
Do you know that shouting the blood of JESUS only is a complete prayer. When you shout the blood of JESUS in danger you just prayed and if you did not cover your hair according to our quote above then you have sinned. Let us leave religion and face the real things that will take us to heaven which are RIGHTEOUSNESS, PURITY, LOVE, HOLINESS ETC.

Not a sin.D hair is a covering says d bible: 1 Corinthians 11:15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.
Paul mentioned two kinds of covering. dis last one is physical while d first is spiritual. He is painting 4 us a spiritual order in d realm of d spirit. D Man is covering of the Woman but a man need not cover his head,since d covering of d man is Christ!!!
Thank God he says “covering" and not “scarf".....and “head" and not “hair".........make u cover d whole head then with clothe like ninja.

Does that mean that women today have to wear a veil or hat or something to cover their head when they go into church? No. The scripture is not saying that at all, but in the culture of those days for a woman to be out in public with nothing on her head when they were used to the veil especially in this city of Corinth , what kind of a woman would usually flaunt herself in that way? the prostitute.

They remove these coverings from their head to unveil their profession(prostitution). Paul made these statements to this church that was in the midst of all this immoralities going on around and within them.

It is a shame you don't apply this contextualisation to his letters in general. If you did, you would realise that he taught Torah. I remember you once suggesting "ye observe days and months" as him teaching against observing the Lord's sabbaths. Hopefully, your review of context will have brought light to your previous assertions. smiley

Oh 'Christians', 'Christians'. I can draw a nice parallel between yourselves and the Samaritans.

And here is a new-age christian who believes there is no such thing as sin once you are a 'christian', and there are two gospels. Pick and choose which you prefer.

I personally do not have a problem with it. If I have hanky I cover my hair, if not I enter mass like that. Not having scarf will not make me miss mass.
I can understand that some times as Christians we make the mistake of concentrating on superficail symbols of faith. We all know that Pastor or Choir mistress who is all covered up in church but is a total slut outside. Covering hair doesn't make anyone a saint or bring them closer to God or assure them of heaven.

1 Corinthians 11:6 For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.
Bro...This is what the verse means,
Let us start from verse 5
I Corinthians 11:5-"For every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven"-----Read very well, it is an analogy, saying a woman that is uncovered is similar to a woman without hair in the physical

I Corinthians 11:6-"For if the woman be not covered"- obviously it is not talking about physical covering if you read from verse 1

"Let her also be shorn"----Her decision not to have her "head covered"-spiritually is similar to her having her head shorn or cutting off all her hair in the physical because her hair is her covering in the physical(verse 15)

"But if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn,let her be covered"- Since it is a shame to have a woman without hair on her head in the physical then it is also a shame for her not to have her head covered

This Paul's analogy is clearly in line with verse 15. The hair is given to her as a covering for her head in the physical.

My bro...if we go by the interpretation of tying a scarf as covering....hw many people are actually covering their head...i mean covering head....
The set of pple that make me laugh most are pple who place handkerchief on their head religiously observing 1 Corinthians 11:5. May God help us

1Co 11:10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.

Brother, i wouldn't really want to delve into esoterics at the moment. The things that are clearly revealed belong to us. Here are some of them.

1Co 11:4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoreth his head.
1Co 11:5 But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoreth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.
1Co 11:6 For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.
1Co 11:7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.

Headcovering is a symbolic action, like water baptism and communion. There is little gained arguing about the best form of any of the three. i do not see where this analogy you are talking about comes from. Except we are to assume it. The passage is pretty clear.
1Co 11:4 This means that any man who prays or prophesies with something on his head brings shame to his head.
1Co 11:5 But any woman who prays or prophesies without something on her head brings shame to her head. In fact, she may as well shave her head.
1Co 11:6 A woman should wear something on her head. It is a disgrace for a woman to shave her head or cut her hair. But if she refuses to wear something on her head, let her cut off her hair.

Contemporary English Version

This is a clear teaching paul was giving here, not an analogy.
