I understand very well what OP is trying to say even with her contradicting herself... But the truth is even if a woman has a long or short hair on her head, it should&must be covered completly during spiritual activities, it is very wrong for a woman to live her hair open when in church...... If there are Seventhday Adventist in the house i guess they should testify to this........ I rest my case now |

@OP read this, I found it far richer and analytical than most views on here https://bible.org/article/what-head-covering-1-cor-112-16-and-does-it-apply-us-today I do however salute you for challenging the traditional view on this in this part of the world. |

BrainnewsNg:6 For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head." When you cut off the hair, aren't you exposing the head still yet. Please clarify |

ChristineC:Lol. You obviously have little to no idea what the theory of evolution is, else you wont ask why apes no longer turn to humans as if it were a magic show. There are hundreds, if not more phenomena, unexplainable by science, yet, but considering the history of both methods, scientific and hasty conclusion which is the forte of religion, I'd be safer pitching my tent with science. Like Sam Harris once said, "I would challenge anyone here to think of a question upon which we once had a scientific answer, however inadequate, but for which now the best answer is a religious one". Over two thousand years and the best evidence ever provided is "when you die" and you have the guts to term me delusional. |

BrainnewsNg:your just probabaly ignorant or maybe you just choose to be foolish op use your brain n think even without the holy spirit ministering to you how can you cover your head without hair nd vice versa ![]() may senses locate you this week. Revelation 22vs 19 And if anyone removes any of the words from this book of prophecy, God will remove that person's share in the tree of life and in the holy city that are described in this book |

BrainnewsNg:Hello dear, note this that when u aren't doing anything spiritual, your head is covered by your hair..... hence your head is ALWAYS covered by your hair.... Now the Bible says WHEN YOU PRAY.... I will end here because even with common sense you know what I want to say next. thanks |

Even though it was way out of point and having no connection with the topic, or my comment, I merely chose to reply your quote for the purpose of education ChristineC. Anyone can choose to believe in delusions, half truths, complete lies or whatever tickles their fancy, it is a free world. What you should do is make it private, you know, like taking a s.hit, or banging your partner, but the moment you make it public, except contrary opinions and in some cases, serious bashing. Only ridiculous ideas need the much shielding religious ones demand. Tueh. |

BrainnewsNg:In addition bro, they are to cover so because of angels(i hope u know angels come in the old testament as men disguised remember that Hebrews13 says we should attend to visitors cause some strangers and visitors could appear as men in angelic bodies....an example is Philip vanishing after attending to the Ethiopian Eunuch).We should rather think of offending God not angels.Paul usually say i but not the Lord, i have no special commandment from God and in that scripture he never said God gave him permission. |

This is heresy. Your understanding of the scriptures is shallow. You should be a pupil of the Scriptures and not a teacher. This is appaling! In the Christian community all over the world there have been an age long argument among some denominations over the covering of “head” or “hair” by women when in church or when praying or performing any spiritual activity. The anchor scripture in the Holy Bible Christians used for this law as written by Apostle Paul is 1 Corinthians 11 : 2 – 16. Now, let us look at this portions of the bible with KJV and NIV to see if the Bible really restricted women from going to church or performing any spiritual activities with their “head” or “hair” uncovered. 1 Corinthians 11 : 5 -6 "5 But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven. 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. " - (KJV). “5 But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is the same as having her head shaved. 6 For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head." – (NIV) Again let's look at verses 13 – 15 of the scripture. “13 Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered? 14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? 15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering." – (KJV) “13 Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14 Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, 15 but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering.” – (NIV) From the above scriptures, the Bible made it clear that a woman who performs any spiritual activity with her “head” uncovered have dishonored her head therefore dishonor her creator. Also the hair of a woman is the woman’s glory and the Bible have made it clear that her “hair” is for the covering of her “head”. My question now is; did the Bible command women to cover their “hair” while praying? NO. There’s no place in the Bible that says a woman should cover her “hair” while praying. Please note the two English words “Head” and “Hair”. In the scriptures above, the Holy Bible has repeatedly made it clear that a woman should cover her “head” and not “hair”. The Bible also in verse 16 of the scripture stated clearly that the long hair of a woman is her glory and for the covering of her HEAD. Therefore, I stronger oppose the believe that it’s wrong for a woman to go to church or pray with her hair uncovered because the Bible never say so. A Woman can pray to God with her hair open as long her head is covered with her hairs. Source: http://brainnewsng.com/what-holy-bible-really-says-about-women-covering-their-head-to-church/[/quote] |

The Bible is clear on this na, women cover your hair when praying or prophesying. What does it take to cover your hair when praying, it's not as if you would pray all day. After prayers or dismal from the assembly of brethren you can open your hair because it's not a sin. |

shadeyinka:Read the verses before the one we are considering. He talked about men with long hair and how it is not in accordance with their custom. These things are matters of Jewish custom and I don't know why we are strict about it as if we are in the orientals. He talked about men and how he expects their head covering to be like, before he talk about that of women. |

larenzoid08:What your difficulty is is the attachment and Peruvian hair. Hardly is a woman's hair without "attachment". Please let's talk about serious kingdom issues, not covering of hair. Paul said their should be no contention on it as it is not a doctrine, just his revered opinion. It's not a universal principle. The Peruvian hair was on someone's head, just like the clothe u may be putting on now was somelse else's before u bought it. |

Fearlez:Please understand that verse very well. What the Bible meant is; It is a thing of reproach for a woman's hair to be shave off her head entirely and thus she should keep her hair to cover her head |

Montaque:so the women of those days were on skin cut that was why they told them to cover their hair abi? |
| Re: What The Bible Really Says About Women Covering Their Head To Church by irynterri(f): 9:30pm On Jul 30, 2017 |
BrainnewsNg:that's not what it means, you don't practise it does not mean you should twist it,Jewish women those days had long hair, St. Paul was only stating that a woman not covering her hair while praying is synonymous to a woman with low cut(shaven) which is taken as a taboo or shame in Jewish tradition even to this day, |
