Ken4Christ: 3. What most adherents of this doctrine practice is HAIR COVERING rather than HEAD COVERING that the Bible talks about in the passage we have been making reference to. There is nowhere in the passage Paul mentioned hair covering. Your hair is just part of your head, so if you tie a scarf round your hair, you only just covered your hair and not your head. Head covering must employ the use of a veil over your face as it is done in most part of the Middle East. If Women are to be judged by this doctrine, virtually everyone in this part of the world would be found wanting.
In addition to this points just enumerated above, it’s imperative to know that what guarantees answer to prayers offered by godly women is faith and not the covering of your head. There are countless testimonies of women who received answer to prayer that never subjected themselves to this doctrine. Besides, women that cover their head are not necessarily more submissive than those who don’t. You can cover your head to fulfill all righteousness and still fight your husband at home. Some would even do it on the streets with their head covered. Submissiveness is a thing of the heart.

”But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price” (1 Pet. 3:4).

If however, you want to adhere to this practice, be sure first, that you are married. Second, you cover not just your hair but your head. Third, you have to cover your head whenever you in a gathering of at least two or more people praying.

If God is to judge all married women especially in this part of the world on this issue of head covering, virtually everyone will be found guilty because those who claim to actually adhere to it are not in the strict term covering their head but their hairs.

No one has a right to make a doctrine out of this issue for it does not meet the basic requirement as earlier stated. The church should focus more on addressing the gross moral misconducts that has crept into the church in this last decade.

Image123: It is implied and common sense that when you cover your hair, you have covered your head. Like we call or speak of headgears, headdress, head-ties and headphones. these are all words we use. they do not necessarily have to cover the eyes and nose to be referred to as head covering. Safety helmets and crash helmets protect and cover the head, we do not say they are protecting our hair.

Image123: If we have enough grace, we should not see it as an issue to trash out before doing simple and straight forward things written in the Bible.
1Co 11:15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.
The literal rendition is "for a covering", which is slightly different from "as a covering". The hair is given her naturally for her to cover it. In such understanding, we easily align with the straight forward meanings of the rest of the passage. We cannot discard about 10 verses that have plain meaning because of one verse that has more than one meaning depending on how it is read.

Image123: i'll tell you what analogy is. Where is the sanity, the logic and the analogy in leaving the hair uncovered if it is the glory of the woman?
1Co 11:15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.
If a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her.
The man is the glory of God(v7)
The woman is the glory of the man(v7)
The hair is the glory of the woman (v15)
God's glory should be revealed/uncovered- This is symbolized by the man's head being uncovered.
Man's glory should be covered- This is symbolized by covering the woman's head.
Woman's glory should be uncovered as it is to cover man's glory- Your interpretation of verse 15 paraphrased.
WHAT IS THE LOGIC OR SPIRIT, WISDOM OR ANALOGY IN THAT?

Wow ....dont cause confusion o... her hair is a glory to her and is given to her for wat? to cover her head.... her hair is not a glory to the man but she herself...from your points above,Man's glory should be covered right? Did the Bible say man's glory is the woman's hair? Obviously NO
