1 Corinthians 11:3-16 addresses the issue of women and head coverings. The context of the entire passage of 1 Corinthians 11:3-16 is submission to the God-given order and "chain of command." A "covering" on a woman’s head is used as an illustration of the order, headship, and the authority of God. The key verse of this passage is 1 Corinthians 11:3 "But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God." The implications of this verse are found in the rest of the passage. The order is: God the Father, God the Son, the man or husband, and the woman or wife. The veil or covering on the head of a believing Corinthian wife showed that she was under the authority of her husband, and therefore under submission to God.

Within this passage is also verse 10: "For this reason the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels." Why is that important to angels? The relationship of God with men is something that angels watch and learn from (1 Peter 1:12). Therefore, a woman’s submission to God’s delegated authority over her is an example to angels. The holy angels, who are in perfect and total submission to God, expect that we, as followers of Christ,( Christians )be the same.

This covering not only means a cloth but also can refer to a woman’s hair length. How can we say that? We must take this verse in the context or the setting in which it is presented. "Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him? But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her for a covering" (1 Corinthians 11:14-15). Therefore, in the context of this passage, a woman who is wearing her hair ( not weavon but natural hair)longer marks herself out distinctively as a woman and not a man. The Apostle Paul who wrote this bible verse you quoted is saying here that in the Corinthian culture, when a wife’s hair was longer than her husband’s, it showed her submission to his headship. The roles of the male and female are designed by God to portray a profound spiritual lesson, that is of submission to the will and the order of God.

God’s order is that the husband is the head of the wife as God is the head of Christ, but there is no inequality or inferiority implied. God and Christ are equal and united, just as the husband and the wife are one. That bible verse teaches God’s order and spiritual headship in the marriage relationship. In the Corinthian culture, a woman who covered her head during worship or when she was in public displayed her submission to authority.

In today’s culture, we no longer view a woman’s wearing of a head covering as a sign of submission. In most modern societies, scarves and hats are fashion accessories. A woman has the choice to wear a head covering if she views it as a sign of her submission to the authority of her husband. However, it is a personal choice and not something that should be used to judge spirituality. The real issue here is the heart attitude of obedience to God’s authority and submission to His established order “as to the LORD.

Christians can lie!!!!!! So what is written in the Bible plain words means something different now abi? Dey Play.

steeltrust:
please shut up
How can you say Christians don’t have rules

Theirs a saying when you get to Rome behave like a Roman

You like it or not your way of life is not the way of life to other people

As reverend father you can’t wear your gown to Al-Hikmah university in and not chased away or killed, saying you desecrated their land

Repect peoples rules
Your way of life is not my way of life
Our beliefs and ideology are different till I come interm with yours or vis-visa

U just confirmed u don’t have rules. U said when u are in Rome, behave like Romans. Obviously u follow just anything. Thanks for coming. Next?

edoairways:
You don't understand that bible verse just humble yourself

Sir, respectfully again I ask. Explain it to us.

TenQ:
No sir!
Even from the gate, you'll be turned back. Have you ever been to Al-Hikmah University in Ilorin?

Yes if u are a student. If u are not a student, no one will turn u back. Stop the propaganda

BetterHeadline:
Your comment clearly shows you have no ideas why you're talking about. Always quick to quote The Holy Bible and pretend to know Christianity more than Christians only to end up making a fool out of themselves.

That Corinthians verse isn't talking about the hijab at all, and quoting that Deuteronomy at us only further exposed your ignorance of Christianity.
And which muslims are more Christian than Christians? Don't make us die laughing please.

Ode, who says it’s talking about Hijab. Cover ur stupid hair if u are a lady, that’s what the Bible says.

Henrymas:
Those Hijabi wearing sluts, are potential terrorists and bomb carriers!

You will receive a letter on defamation of character. U de play.

edoairways:
That is why I said you guys are just ignorant because you and some others no knowing. Even
1 Corinthians 11:6 you quoted, you don't even understand it at all. You don't know anything

Pastor, teach us for thy know more. Oya, tell us something different from what is in the Bible pls.

Microwhy:
Still senseless..
What is back then? What is bondage called hijab?
What about the nuns? They choose to follow the true path aside not marrying which eventually lead them to wearing extremely similar thing to hijab.
What is the difference between Israel climate and the one we have?
Israel's climate is characterized by hot summers and mild winters
Christianity keep leading the youths to perdition, telling them everything is fine.
Modern Christianity is trash and so irritating.
Thats how you keep encouraging yourselves, look at the rubbish reason you're giving about Mary's dressing.
If Christianity should be preach in its pure form to the yeye youths, it will become empty. Everything as changed in Christianity compared to its true teachings.
Besides, Muslims are not begging for tolerance, Islam is the one tolerating Christianity. Only a true son of the soil can tolerate not a stranger.
God have send a last messenger to perfect a religion for you, teach you how to worship, praise and invoke. but what you lots choose to do is to disobey just like the way the Jews disobeyed and continue to believe in Judaism and not Christianity.
Continue to let Western media tell you about Islam and don't go carry books and read, lazy youth.

Ah oponu. Hijab is not about climate or climatic condition of an area sir. It is a divine law for Muslims in their holy book like it is for Christians to believe that 1+1+1=1. If u don’t get it, forget about it.

abdullahi45:
What are you not getting here. Those kids aren't enrolled in CU, they only went for a national exam, hence your argument here is faulty.

She doesn’t understand. I just got to know that most Christians don’t read before they talk. How did they ever pass?

You should read up on the history of hijab. Your situation is just like that of a black person who refuses to let go off the chain of slavery, calling it an accessory.

Ode, what did Mary mother of Jesus put on when she was alive and all the pix of (supposed) her that u have been seeing?

edoairways:
Some of you Muslims are limited in knowledge about Christianity. Christianity doesn't support Hjab way of dressing to begin with rather modesty is the key. However, many Muslim fantastics are quick to quote verses from the bible that they don't understand .

Show us the modesty in church. Did Jesus preach modesty in dressing or for u to cover ur head as a female. The says:

1 Corinthians 11:6

For if a wife will not cover her head, then she should cut her hair short. But since it is disgraceful for a wife to cut off her hair or shave her head, let her cover her head.

Deuteronomy 22:5

“A woman shall not wear a man's garment, nor shall a man put on a woman's cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God.

Now you guys can see why Muslims are more Christian than the Christians.

U don’t read ur Bible. U hide under “The Grace” which ur pastors lie about.

Shiooorrrr.

spiralwedge:
Not allowed too.

Not the religion of Arab, but you must face Saudi Arabia when you pray in order for your prayer to be accepted; you must travel to Saudi Arabia to circle around and bow down toward a black stone every year; you must only pray in arabic. Truly, it is not the religion of Arab at all.

No one is telling them to remove their cloths, only that bondage they call hijab.

malvisguy212:

surly , there's probably some christians or pagan taken to places they did not like. why this people did not cry foul play ? why na only muslims sabi cause confussion in d society ? haba

Rara, una de wear cloth for Christiandom?

See life. We don’t like our health.

I JUST GOT TO KNOW THAT WE NIGERIANS DONT LIKE READING.

MOST OF THE PEOPLE TALKING HERE DIDNT READ THE ARTICLE AT ALL.

SHE ISNT SEEKING ADMISSION INTO COVENANT UNIVERSITY. SHE WAS ONLY THERE FOR JAMB CBT. SHE PROBABLY PICKED A FEDERAL UNIVERSITY.

I GUESS U GUYS DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT CBT MEANS OR USED FOR.

CHRISTIANS ARE SOMETIMES TOO DUMB FOR MY LIKING.

RichBoy247:
I am a Muslim.

Please can someone tell me where I can meet these Hijab wearing idiots who want to go to Covenant University? I need to whip some nincompoops mercilessly.

My younger brother went to Crescent University. It is owned by the Islamic Mission in Africa.

Ode. She is not going to Covenant to school. Na only Jamb CBT she go write. Una no de like read.

malvisguy212:
if the hijab is not sacrad , and just an ordinary clothes. then why do you insist of wearing it even when the school say no ?

that hausa word mean " no enter unless by permission"

but when you read " ba a shiga" (no enter) there is nothing unsual going on there. but when they add " sa dai izeni" its prostitution .

Oga read well. She didn’t apply to covenant. She is just there for CBT.

Brunicekid:
They knew the school rules before they applied for admission.

Olodo, CBT not post Jamb

luluman:
No, her dressing should conform to the standard of the institution she intends to write in.

Rara, when it’s not Post Jamb. Don’t u get? It is CBT not post jamb for a school.

Pierocash:
This religion of trouble have taken their madness to covenant University. They always disobey constituted authorities using religious clog as a means.

If a Christian dares wears anything like rosary, cross, or any attire depicting Christianity to access a Muslim environment,this children of hate and perdition will call it blasphemy,and murder the innocent Christian.

But see them ,always taking their foolishness to other religious environment and lord it over everyone.

You are so wrong. Very wrong.

Tochj:
A Nun entering a mosque should obey the laws in the environment.

Who is talking about mosque here? We are talking about a school environment for a Federal Government Exams and u are talking religion. O ga oo

padi94:
I believe it was not today they told her to that her mock center is CU. she should have known and changed it. Or prepare to remove her Hijab.


Wetin dey pain me be say not everyone behaves like her. There are other Muslim students there that HV taken off their Hijab o. Na only BokoHaram dey behave like this.

Let's leave all this sentiments and face real problems. Write Jamb and seek for reschedule of your exam.

Really? For a Federal Government of Nigeria Exam or for Covenant University Exam? Abeg think straight.

CodeTemplar:
when are you mandated to go to church, before accepting the admission or after?

Oga Ade, after admission. We saw plenty.
