| Re: Woman's Head Covering | | I can't wait to see where this goes :-) this could get interesting!
I come from a Mennonite background, and the head covering is an area of tension within the churches; having come out of the traditional Mennonite churches.
Over half of the women in our fellowship wear a head covering, and it's kind of said that if you feel that the Lord wants you to wear one, wear one, and if not, then don't. Now, I don't agree with that. I think that we need to go one way or the other (although I'm not saying which way I go...yet ;-) ).
Well I hope this is edifying, and that the body of Christ is blessed ;-)

| Re: Woman's Head Covering | | Head covering is nowhere near an essential doctrine. The only people wearing head coverings with whom I am personally aquainted are in many, MANY theological ditches. They are trying to revive many aspects of living under the law.
We are saved by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. See Galations for my scripture support... mostly 3:10 - 6:10

Head coverings, dietary restrictions, Sabbath issues, you name it. Grace covers it. |

| Re: Womans Head Covering | | How can grace cover direct persistant disobedience? It cant! God can only forgive that which we are willing to forsake. Also, to equate the womans head covering(a NT teaching that was accepted and practised by virtually ALL christians until the last 150 years) with dietary laws and Sabbaths (OT types and shadows that were fulfilled in Christ) is ceartinly muddying the theological waters. The mistake that so many people make is to equate obedience with legalism. They think if anyone says "The Bible teaches that we must DO THIS..." whatever, that they are trying to bring folks back under the law, but how can this be when these things are NT doctrines! Sure you can make a law out of the NT but if our hearts are to obey the Lord because we love Him then this hardly qualifies as legalism. |

| Re: Womans Head Covering | | P. S. To reject a teaching of the Bible because you are aquainted with folks that hold this teaching and are in error in other areas is a MAJOR mistake. Rather than throw the baby out with the bathwater let's go to GOD's Word and see what it says, if it says a lady should not pray or prophecy without a covering then she should wear a covering, [i]if it says men should wear an orange cone on their head, lets do it![/i] |

| Re: head coverings | | My head is always covered. Because the spiritual beings in the heavenly realms can see it, they know to whom I belong.
"...because of the angels, the woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head." 1 Cor. 11:10
... and you have been given fullness in Christ , who is the HEAD over every power and authority." Co. 2:9

Here is the sermon that is being discussed, you can listen to it here:
[b]The Doctrine Of Headship[/b] by Ross Ulrich https://www.sermonindex.net/modules/mydownloads/visit.php?lid=9313
[b]Description:[/b] An exegesis of I Corinthians 11 on the teaching of the head covering as it relates to God's headship. This is a very straightforward teaching on the subject. Contains a clear explanation as to why the hair is not the prayer veiling. _________________ SI Moderator - Greg Gordon

| Re: | | "Wherever and whenever women do pray and proclaim the Word appropriately, they must do so maintaining a proper distinction from men. In the culture of Corinth, a women's covered head while ministering or worshiping was a symbol to signify a subrodinate relationship to her husband. The apostle is not laying down an absolute law for women to wear veils or covering in all churches for all time, but is declaring that the symbols of the divinely-established male and female roles are to be genuinely honored in every culture. As in the case of meat offered to idols (chaps. 8,9), there is nothing spiritual about wearing or not wearing a covering." --John MacArthur

If you are ever over here let me know and I will introduce you to a whole bunch of sisters who are free in God and who cover their heads in the meetings. :-) _________________ Ron Bailey
