It's funny that the modern day church is looking for a "why" that satisfies them. We are told why (at least partially in the passage). My pastor gave a sermon about how little God actually tells us why. It takes faith for us to follow anyways.
God said thru apostle Paul that we are to cover our heads "because of the angels" Im not exactly sure how this works, except it has to do with the rebellion of Lucifer who was the anointed cherub "that covers" before the throne of God. So we show simple submission in response to the angelic rebellion.
Why WHAT? I think if the explanation cannot be corroborated with the Bible then one is simply accepting someone's interpretation. I can only assume SDA, JW and LDS all get the same response to other doctrines (though they be wrong) that one has to obey their interpretation. This is dangerous ground people are playing here.
@josiesowers1058 Yet God does tell you why through Paul. The answer is in Gen 1 through 3 so OBVIOUSLY it is not about culture or Corinth but about creation.
I would like to add my two cents here after reading this discussion. First of all I believe we should follow the teaching in 1st Corinthians 11. The main problem here is the misunderstanding of 1st Corinthians 11 altogether. I also have made an intense study of this passage, and the obvious conclusion is that Paul was referring to long hair being the covering. The first thing one should take notice is the lack of wording required to conclude that a veil is being referred to here. The word veil or cloth is not in the text if we read from the King James version. If you read from the “modern” versions then you might get that view but not from the Textus Receptus. I would like for you to reread the verses that allegedly refer to a veil which is 4-7 and 13. In those verses we read the words, cover, uncovered and not covered. According to scholars these are used as adverbs. Like if you were to say I am going to cover my feet. No one should be thinking of a veil just the action of being covered. What is missing in these verses are nouns that would prove the idea of veils. Since we should not be assuming anything we should be asking the question what is the thing that a woman should be covered WITH based on the passage ALONE? So if you do the math you would find that Paul refers to hair directly 3 times and then indirectly 4 times with the words shorn and shaven. So if there is no noun for the word veil or cloth yet there are 7 instances of idea of hair, then what are we to conclude? That Paul is referring to hair whether it be short or long. But the counterargument would be that Paul is allegedly telling women to put something on. But that is not exactly true it says a woman should be covered, but he is referring to long hair based on the surrounding verses. But what about that a woman ought to be covered when praying or prophesying? The assumption is a that Paul was referring to only two instances which is not true he was merely giving us two examples. This also applies to men about being uncovered. Evidence of this is written in the forgoing verses. Paul writes that men ought not to cover because he is the image and glory of God. And then Paul goes into how woman was made for man and is the glory of the man. So it would seem that man shouldn’t be covered at any time if he is the glory and image of God. Paul also mentions that the mere observation of a praying woman should make us note how uncomely (unappealing in appearance) for a woman to be uncovered. Paul states this in a way that it should be obvious to anyone that she looks off in verse 13. He does this again in verse 14 about how shameful it looks if a man has long hair. He says it this way… Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered? Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? KJV So this judgement that we should make is exclusively based on observation of an “uncovered” woman as well as a long haired man. Two consecutive questions both appealing to something innate or within us. Paul is in essence saying that it should be obvious to see that something is wrong or off. So how is it that for the women we are somehow to know within us that a woman would be unappealing in appearance without a manufactured veil? That does not seem logical especially since the word veil is never mentioned. Unless that is not what Paul is meaning but rather that if the woman was not covered in long hair (meaning her hair is short) doing something holy or godly LIKE praying or prophesying. I think most people can relate that looking at a woman with short hair does have an unappealing appearance. It naturally provokes head turns. And if there was any question Paul flat out states what he was talking about in verse 15. So the facts are that there no nouns to use as evidence of a veil. There is evidence that Paul was using praying and prophesying as examples. Paul appeals to nature and something innate within us to judge that being uncovered or covered (meaning having short hair or long hair) should be obvious to all. So this cannot make sense with a manufactured veil.
@@BelieverinChristAlways That is correct in general. When it comes to the context here Paul is mainly focused on believing women to cover their heads with long hair.
Once i was baptized in the Holy Spirit and began praying in tongues I felt i needed to cover my head while i was in prayer. The closer I become to my Father and His word, and the more I allow the Holy spirit to work through me the more I desire to cover my head. I praise God for these teachings and the Holy Spirit within for His guidance and wisdom of the truth. Amen
Me too sister. The more I began to spend time with JESUS the more I felt in my spirit to cover my head. It's a symbol of humbleness and obedience to GOD.
When God told me to cover my head I didn’t ask him why I went straight to get a head covering I never took it off since that day tbh I prefer to wear it anyways I don’t see the need or even the desire to not wear one especially in todays times it’s evil we need it and us woman need it
Thank you for sharing this video. For years as a believer in Jesus Christ I would pray with my head covered. Then the church i was going to at the time, I attended a Bible study and I was told that I didn’t have to have my head covered, that that was for the culture back then. Then I had stopped covering my head. Just recently I felt the Holy Spirit convicting me of not covering my head. I read this verse today and found this video. Thank you man of God for clarifying this for me. Today I will start covering my head again when I pray. God bless all those responsible for this video.
Amen. Obey God rather than man. It's sad that churches are teaching this scripture all wrong and leading millions to dishonor God. I too have recently learnt of this and have started covering head. I had no idea as churches here in Kenya too teach that it was a cultural issues or try to explain it away to suit fashion and modernity
@@LovelyHer774 Hi, I would stay far away from worldly music. It's basically disguised spell casting and enters the ears and inner being. Selena through a testimony of Angelica Zambrano saw Selena in hell. Many may not believe it, but that's up to each person. However, listening to their songs is serious because it's spiritually toxic. Many things are, including even certain cosmetics and vanity items, as well as of course things inside of us.
I love seeing videos like this. Plain and simple. I believe in head coverings for women for prayer and prophecy. Thank you for your channel and your content. God bless you!
This was a big topic for me coming out of nearly 10 years of legalistic fundamentalism where head coverings and having long hair were mandatory for the women of our church. After many years of prayer about these verses God was gracious and showed me that this teaching on long hair and head coverings has no parallel under the OT type and shadow of Christian doctrine. Sound Christian doctrine is found in the OT blueprint such as sacrificial lamb, baptisms and out of servitude into a place of liberty and provision. This answer to these verses while utterly thrilling and liberating left me with a major headache. If they are not to be acted upon why are they there. After a couple of weeks of prayer ( so quick ) I had a verse coming to me 1 Cor 7 1..... now concerning the things whereof you wrote unto me !!!!!!! NOW....concerning the things YOU WROTE UNTO ME...... Paul covered these things because the corinthians had written to him about them. And then at the end of his discourse on their questions he finishes with his statement .....nevertheless we have no such customs neither do the churches of God. WOW!!!
@@lampandlightpathways Hello, this may be helpful when considering what Paul meant by "we have no such custom": www.headcoveringmovement.com/articles/why-head-coverings-reason-4-church-practice
@@headcovering Hi there thanks for your thoughts. I understand that there are two streams of manuscripts on this subject. Those that have come down through protestant hands and the other through Catholic. The catholic say we have no other custom The protestant say we have no such custom. It leaves believers in a quandary. I can only say what God has revealed which is that the no such custom version is correct. And it is correct because it keeps us focusing on faith on Christs works not our own. In our humanness we are so prone to religious works. Should we also be washing peoples feet ???? Once again without an OT prescribed precedent we are not obligated to make a law of it.
“Do you think God has changed His mind?” Beautiful!! As we know, God does not change as we do!! Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever! I don’t have to understand the why, so long as I respect that God Almighty has commended me to do something, THAT is what matters! I also just love how Miss Ruth looked over and genuinely smiled as Mister Derek complimented how wonderful she looks as she’s obeying God!! Simply beautiful! Thank you very much for uploading this!

Amen glory to God.
Good for you! I started wearing head covering as a sign of submission to God during prayer. Paul tells us that while we have freedom in Christ, women should cover their heads "because of the angels." That is complex to explain, but I perceive this humble act of submission to be a form of spiritual warfare. Pray on, my sister!
I remember when i was in my ex church(now cult) we had Bible School with VHS tapes from Princs teachings and leadership didnot want this teaching about headcovering infact i didnot know much about that teaching untill i left that church and few years later i have had descovered more about headcovering but i was also shocked how this teaching is attacked since 1800 almost visiously as teaching of salvation and teaching about women role in the church. Then i realized if Satan can put disorder in these two teachings(headcovering and Godly order in the chrurch) then he has won the battle and boy how he has prevailed.

Probably my favorite minister to listen to , I have listen to him for years and loved what he shares. This is one of the few times that I could say I may not agree to.
He's my most favorite minister. I do cover my head, but I don't agree with this explanation. Scripture also says long hair is given for women as a covering
@@ZionJerusalem-k5g Regarding the question of whether the hair is the covering, here is an article you may be interested in reading, from our website: www.headcoveringmovement.com/articles/is-a-womans-long-hair-her-covering
Paul tells women in this statement "the why" for headcovering It's "a symbol of authority on her head" - What exactly does that statement mean? Symbol is a thing that represents or stands for something else. So what does the woman's head covering stand for? It stands for God's hierarchy of authority in His Kingdom, In His creation When a woman covers her head in prayer and her work for the Lord - She is announcing to the seen and unseen world, to principalities and powers and wicked rulers in high places and to the angels, to the minions of satan and to the devil himself, "that she has submitted herself and is under the authority of God Almighty" ---- So back off satan -hands off!!! Every woman of God, especially single women without husbands should want to wear that symbol of authority on her head - because the angels are watching, and so is everyone else in the universe! Ladies make that clear distinction you are not a woman of rebellion, jezebel's daughter, you are like Ruth who left Moab and place herself under the protection and care of Almighty God. "May the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge, reward you" Ruth 2:12-13 for your humble submission to His Word and His Authority. hope this will help women who are still trying to understand this teaching..... God bless you all.
Oooh wee! “Thank God for a woman who isn’t a carbon copy of other women!” My goodness!! Now that is sincerely beautiful! I always encourage women not to be like the disrespectful, spiritually ignorant women of the world. We’ve finally reached the point in Society in which you’re more unique and rare for dressing modestly, than practically being nude. The world is using celebrities to encourage, promote and teach young ladies that their only worth is in their bodies!! Let us be the example and teach the young girls how to respect God and themselves.
Sad and unfortunate that anyone in 2022 still views "headship" as being husband over wife. Why don't we rid ourselves of the idea of "headship" at all? Husbands and wives should love and respect each other equally. I don't care at all what "Paul" had to say as he's done more to bastardize the actual teachings of Jesus than anyone in history.
That's exactly what it is. The hierarchy of mankind created by God started in the garden of Eden and it still applies for today. Those scriptures are comparing the headship of humanity to a woman who is shaven. Women who shaved their heads were either temple prostitutes (Gentiles) or they had been caught in adultery (as per the Mosaic Law).
@@joshadkison3912 Paul's terminology may not be yours (of course) but Jesus said that a husband is to love his wife like Christ loves the Church. Love is patient, love is kind, love is long-suffering.. Headship was created by God in the garden of Eden, not by Paul. Jezebel loved usurping authority over her husband.. I'm sure she's not in heaven- so women desiring to be apart of the kingdom of heaven should not follow her example.
@@joshadkison3912Are you saying "headship" is obsolete because you dont have a backbone to stand as head of your own household? Paul commands husbands "Love your wife as Christ loved the church, and gave Himself for her." You need to seek God for the grace to handle your God given position. Then "headship" is a blessing rather than a hated curse. Man up!
I cover in church, and joined a couple of headcovering Facebook groups. The legalism eventually turned me off so I signed off of those groups. But I agree with the practice.

This is true teaching of the word of God unlike most so called christian ministors now. All these false teacher are at risk of going to hell for teaching falsely.
I fully agree that head coverings are far more important than contempoary Christians think. Frankly, there is a spirit of disobedience within the church (even amongst "Bible-believing" Christians). I think this spirit is engendered by Feminism.
Many years ago, a friend shared with me her experience worshipping with the Plymouth Brethren. I was a young Christian at the time, and she told me about how they required women to wear a head covering during the service. I'm guessing the PB still insist on this practice [?].
1 Corinthians 11:4-13 King James Version 4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head. 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. 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. 8 For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man. 9 Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. 10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.
Most don’t know that the plan of Salvation is outlined in Acts 2:38. Acts 4:12 confirms it. You can’t go to the book of Romans without going thru the book of Acts of the Apostles for this is how the birth of the New Testament church took place.
@randihubbard1352 You're welcome! We're happy to hear that you've recently started covering your head! I was the only one for 11 years at our previous church, and it was challenging for me at times, but I'm so happy I persevered. :) ~Jessica
whats your thoughts on apostolic hair ( the practice of Christian women not cutting their hair ) ? do you believe it to be as important as headcovering ? do believe Christian women should do both ?
I’m not aware of a Bible passage that instructs Christian women to not cut their hair, so I don’t think they’re comparable. When the Bible explicitly tells us to do something like cover our heads during prayer and prophecy, that’s different than someone’s opinion that it’s better to not cut your hair. I’m pretty confident that God never told us all to never cut our hair. Maybe God would like us women to keep our hair long so we don’t look androgynous, but that’s different than never cutting it
It also says men should not have hair like women but a Nazirite never cuts his hair (Samson). Its not a requirement as we have freedom in Christ, BUT women are to COVER their heads "because of the angels." Not everyone can do long hair, but you should not be looking like a man. Unless of course you sent all your long hair to make wigs for kids with cancer...but I digress
So even when "you speak to me" does this mean even when you're alone? As the reason is for the angels not for brothers and sisters. Someone I know covers her head only if there's another man, if there is me (sister) and her husband she doesn't cover her head. What would that mean?
An unmarried woman is still under the headship of her father 😊 Regardless of if she wants to think that way, she should consider still veiling for modesty's sake. Save your beautiful hair for your future husband, and be content with being seen only by God.
Hi, Michael, thanks for your question. Here is an informative article from the HCM website which addresses that issue: www.headcoveringmovement.com/articles/where-are-head-coverings-to-practiced-in-church-or-everywhere Hope that helps!
Many woman wear a 'head covering' but don't submit to their husbands/male authority! It's heart attitude of submission. I believe the covering is symbolic just like bread and wine take on a symbolic meaning taking the Lord's supper.
It's sad that you believe the Lord's Supper is symbolic while Jesus stands in front of His disciples and says "This is my Body." A host of followers left Him when He described this fact to them (John 6) because it was too difficult for them.
@@shellieperreault6262 So if you were to take the bread and wine that has been blessed by a priest/pastor into a lab and study what it’s components are after being blessed vs before, do you actually believe you would then see real blood and real flesh? Or would it still be bread and wine? I simply don’t believe that you ACTUALLY think you are eating flesh and drinking blood. Jesus TAUGHT IN PARABLES. He used allegory and symbolism as his method of teaching, so I think I’ll trust Jesus and assume he was being symbolic there as well. The only place Jesus doesn’t teach in parables is the gospel of John, which is one really good indication that it’s the least historical (along with being the last written and numerous other issues
Paul says women are free but should cover their heads "because of the angels" As for spousal submission, remember God commands "Husbands, love your wife as Christ loved the church, and gave Himself for her." Maybe the reason for non-submission is lack of godly spiritual heads of household? Selah.
My wife covers her head out of reverence for God and headship when praying or in church. However I give grace here but think at minimum woman should keep their hair long as a covering. Another thing is what do we do about the holy kiss? Men are supposed to embrace with a holy kiss when they see their brother in Christ. I apply this as a hug or hand shake but if I really wanted to get uptight I would need to kiss. And of course I keep my head uncovered during prayer and church.
@@headcovering I disagree I think we should hold to both as the holy kiss might not be talked about in as great of length it is mentioned more times throughout scripture. What’s most important is the reason behind both which is love for God and his people and keeping with traditions to honor God. A holy kiss in America or holy embrace would be a hug or handshake, and head covering would be a hat or vail or long hair. However in honoring God if we choose to wear a veil or give an actual kiss I’m fine with that as well.
I'm confused. I read the scripture and want to make sure I understand it and you correctly. A woman's head should be covered, even if she has hair, anytime she is communing with God or prophesying on His behalf. Am I understanding correctly? If a woman's hair is her glory, why does it not work as a head covering?
It’s not really about a woman’s hair. Scripture says that woman is the glory of the man. Therefore, by covering our heads, we are symbolically covering man’s glory.
Man is the glory of Christ. Woman is the glory of man. And a women's hair is her glory. Therefore, to show the order of submission, women are to cover their glory so only Christ's glory is shown when we are praying and prophesying. The best explanation is to use verse 6 of 1st Corinthians 11 For if a woman does not cover, let her also have her hair cut off. In trying to see why swapping out a covering for hair doesn't work we assume that if long hair is equal to covering then short hair would equal uncovered. Using verse 6 with cover swapped out for hair it would read: For if a woman does not [have long hair], let her also have her hair cut off. The very next verse says that having her hair cut or shaved is disgraceful. And if she already doesn't have long hair than she would obviously have short hair, so how would she then cut off short hair more? Shaving it? But then that's stated as disgraceful. I hope that makes sense! 💕
Something which I believe should be mentioned more often to those who believe that hair is sufficient for a covering is that the word for covering in 1 Corinthians 11:15 (for her hair is given to her for a covering (greek: peribolaion)) is a different word than every other use of Covering in in the passage (greek: katakalyptos). The translators did not help us out with this passage. But when we realize that entirely different words are used, we can more easily see that Paul is referring to a physical, visual symbol showing our obedience and representing God's order of creation.
@mercedesb.9239 If you take a look at the articles on our website, under the section "Head Covering Questions" (scroll down a little), you will find several articles which attempt to address that question, though from slightly different perspectives: www.headcoveringmovement.com/articles-series

@@LovelyHer774 He is/was trinitarian, and NOT a Christian. FACT. He DID NOT inherit the kingdom of God. He is in hell now as we speak. - Unfortunately.
It is very clear in the Bible that, 1) the covering that God is refering to is a woman's long hair - that is her covering (v. 15 KJV), and 2) this is not a commandment, it was a recommendation by the church (v. 16 KJV). I do believe that it is pleasing to God for woman and men to be distinct, men should have short hair and woman should have long hair. And there should be a difference in the way we dress (women wear skirts and dresses & men wear pants). Having said that, I also believe that these are issues between each true believer and their Savior and Lord, Jesus. There are instances in the Bible where men did have long hair. Ultimately, God looks upon the heart. But every person who wants to truly please God will do whatever He asks of them. That is the beautiful thing about our Christian faith is that we have a choice and we have individual callings. Let's not become legalistic, but let's focus on what truly is important! Having a relationship with God so close that we hear the Holy Spirit's voice speaking to us, and we willfully obey everything He asks, with sincere love for our Heavenly Father and Savior, Jesus Christ!

@melanialeinfellner I would like to add my two cents here after reading this discussion. First of all I believe we should follow the teaching in 1st Corinthians 11. The main problem here is the misunderstanding of 1st Corinthians 11 altogether. I also have made an intense study of this passage, and the obvious conclusion is that Paul was referring to long hair being the covering. The first thing one should take notice is the lack of wording required to conclude that a veil is being referred to here. The word veil or cloth is not in the text if we read from the King James version. If you read from the “modern” versions then you might get that view but not from the Textus Receptus. I would like for you to reread the verses that allegedly refer to a veil which is 4-7 and 13. In those verses we read the words, cover, uncovered and not covered. According to scholars these are used as adverbs. Like if you were to say I am going to cover my feet. No one should be thinking of a veil just the action of being covered. What is missing in these verses are nouns that would prove the idea of veils. Since we should not be assuming anything we should be asking the question what is the thing that a woman should be covered WITH based on the passage ALONE? So if you do the math you would find that Paul refers to hair directly 3 times and then indirectly 4 times with the words shorn and shaven. So if there is no noun for the word veil or cloth yet there are 7 instances of idea of hair, then what are we to conclude? That Paul is referring to hair whether it be short or long. But the counterargument would be that Paul is allegedly telling women to put something on. But that is not exactly true it says a woman should be covered, but he is referring to long hair based on the surrounding verses. But what about that a woman ought to be covered when praying or prophesying? The assumption is a that Paul was referring to only two instances which is not true he was merely giving us two examples. This also applies to men about being uncovered. Evidence of this is written in the forgoing verses. Paul writes that men ought not to cover because he is the image and glory of God. And then Paul goes into how woman was made for man and is the glory of the man. So it would seem that man shouldn’t be covered at any time if he is the glory and image of God. Paul also mentions that the mere observation of a praying woman should make us note how uncomely (unappealing in appearance) for a woman to be uncovered. Paul states this in a way that it should be obvious to anyone that she looks off in verse 13. He does this again in verse 14 about how shameful it looks if a man has long hair. He says it this way… Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered? Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? KJV So this judgement that we should make is exclusively based on observation of an “uncovered” woman as well as a long haired man. Two consecutive questions both appealing to something innate or within us. Paul is in essence saying that it should be obvious to see that something is wrong or off. So how is it that for the women we are somehow to know within us that a woman would be unappealing in appearance without a manufactured veil? That does not seem logical especially since the word veil is never mentioned. Unless that is not what Paul is meaning but rather that if the woman was not covered in long hair (meaning her hair is short) doing something holy or godly LIKE praying or prophesying. I think most people can relate that looking at a woman with short hair does have an unappealing appearance. It naturally provokes head turns. And if there was any question Paul flat out states what he was talking about in verse 15. So the facts are that there no nouns to use as evidence of a veil. There is evidence that Paul was using praying and prophesying as examples. Paul appeals to nature and something innate within us to judge that being uncovered or covered (meaning having short hair or long hair) should be obvious to all. So this cannot make sense with a manufactured veil.
@@robertmiller812 Thank you for the in-depth explanation. I was born in India and raised a Hindu. We covered our head when we went to temple. After being born again and following Jesus my life has completely been transformed . Scripture says that Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth! Amen! I don’t use any hair covering at church and I had a strong desire not to cut my hair but I have heard different understandings on this topic and I want to do the right thing. I also understand that we all have our personal convictions from the Lord and different cultural backgrounds. My mom who is in India believes in Jesus but she covers her head when they pray together because of culture. Thank you again for shining some light on this. Blessings 🙏🏻
Hi, Erika, that's a good question. This is just a video clip, but it doesn't show the whole sermon. Perhaps Ruth wanted to have a headcovering on so that she would be ready for anytime that prayer or prophesying would happen. Prayer could be group prayer, usually led by one person but joined in heart by all, and prophesying could be anytime that someone speaks directly out of God's Word, perhaps reading it out loud. Prophesying can also mean worshiping God through song. Any of those things can easily happen in a church meeting. Hope that helps! ~Jessica
In 1 Corinthians 11:10, Paul says "Therefore the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels" (NASB), also rendered "That is why a woman ought to have a veil on her head, because of the angels" (RSV).
@@headcovering I have seen the whole video. If I track down the link I will post it. She actually is speaking in this session, too, and at the beginning of every teaching session Mr. Prince did, if she was present, she was always up at the front with him quoting Scripture memory passages, and yes, she was also an active part in their ministry times in the services, so she obviously felt that she should be covered in those contexts. She, personally, was very convicted about this matter, it was not her husband's conviction, alone.
@ljp9402 If you take a look at the articles on our website, under the section "Head Covering Questions" (scroll down a little), you will find several articles which attempt to address the question of *when* and *how often* to cover, though from slightly different perspectives: www.headcoveringmovement.com/articles-series
Thanks, SG! Are you from India? We have an article on our site from someone who visited there and observed the same thing you mentioned: www.headcoveringmovement.com/articles/christian-headcovering-in-india ~Jessica
“And isn't long hair a woman's pride and joy? *FOR IT HAS BEEN GIVEN to her as a covering.”* 1 Co 11 : 15 You don’t need a fabric; the long hair does the job and it’s beautiful to God.
God wants us to understand His Word and if we're reading something we need to properly understand the context. The scripture instructs us to get understanding. With that being said, the Lord had me to go on a fast, the Spirit led me to pray 3x's a day and would let me know when to stop, but He never told me to put on a head covering. During this fast, the Lord showed me heaven one night. My spirit was flying above it (that's the best way I can describe it). The colors are so beautiful in heaven- they are not the same as here on earth. This wouldn't be possible if I was supposed to had worn a headcovering during prayer. Not saying that God doesn't tell some people to do so.. He's just never instructed me. And I find it hard that these scriptures aren't referencing to headship, a woman being under submission to her father or husband and Christ. I also know that during the time of this teaching there were new converts who had been temple prostitutes apart of this congregation who had shaved hair bc this is what they had participated in bc 1 Corinthians 11:15 tells you that the hair is a woman's covering.
Hi, Andrea, here is a good article from the HCM site that addresses the issue you brought up: www.headcoveringmovement.com/articles/i-prayed-about-it-and-i-dont-feel-convicted-to-cover
Andrea I'll pray for your understanding. Continue to seek Him. Do you remember the statement Jesus said, In that day many will come to Him and say Lord we did all these miracles and great things in Your Name. He said He will say I never knew you, you who work lawlessness. This word "lawlessness" was what they were guilty of. What is Lawless - not governed by or obedient to laws; characterized by a lack of civic order. Now look at "Ness" The suffix "-ness" means "state : condition : So what is Jesus saying? Why has He judged them as non of His? - they lived in a continual state, a condition of disobedience to His Governance, to His and His Father's laws as written is scripture for our adherence, for our instruction and obedience. For centuries Christian women followed this teaching everywhere around the world. Then the spirit of "feminism" "Jezebel" "Rebellion" entered the church and women in the church became like women in the world , pastors moved away from the Word of God to appease the senses and appetites of "modern women" and this teaching was lost - So today many women in the church are resistant, really resistant to this. May God help you to understand... pray some more and ask for revelation and understanding my sister... God bless you today.
@@adioconnell5370 Your views are to put it simply, repugnant. I’m at a complete loss how you take Jesus’s statement on “lawlessness” and somehow twist it into a gross anti feminist warning. You do realize you are TWISTING JESUS CHRIST’s words to fit YOUR agenda. How can you possibly pretend to love and worship Jesus when you don’t even listen to what he has to say. You don’t even pay attention to how he lived his life. New Testament scholars have repeatedly made the absolute true claim that “of all founders of religions and religious sects, Jesus stands alone as THE ONE WHO DID NOT DISCRIMINATE IN SOME WAY AGAINST WOMEN.” He literally treated them as his equal. He let them be his close disciples. He let them preach his message. He speaks to them as equals when the culture FORBADE this at the time. Jesus ignored cultural norms to treat women equally. This is all true, yet you pretend you know better than Jesus. You pretend it was actually Paul and the writers who forged letters in Paul’s name who know the REAL role of women in Jesus’s church. Please make it make sense. I can’t rationalize that thought process in the slightest. How can you?
@@FA-God-s-Words-Matter Thank you. Scriptural Evidence, is where the buck stops. You said so much to make the point I was making. Glad we can agree on Scriptural Evidence is all that matters in the end. God bless you 🙏
(kind of long, but hope your read it, not meant in any harsh way, and given from a heart of love... and you don't have to agree with me, just thoughts to ponder...) Works? James 2:26 "For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also." James 3:13 "Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom." The word "conversation" there is the Greek word: ἀναστροφή anastrophē an-as-trof-ay' From G390; behavior: - conversation. This means manner of being, behavior, what we do. And we have the letters to the churches in Revelation where works are brought up by Jesus Himself, and at times He commends their works or condemns their works (and what are the churches? People, people like us) , so what we do is supposed to be an "outworking" of what we believe. In truth, it really always is anyways, yes? We do what we do in anything in life because of what we believe - what is in our hearts. That's why we chose the music we chose, the places we go out to, the clothes we wear, the friends we love, the things we will or won't do, the art we like... This all stems out of what we believe about God, His Word and about ourselves... we can look at our lives lived and really know from that so much about who we really are... That's where we get the famous phrase "actions speak louder than words" Rev. 2:2 "I know thy works, and thy labor..." Rev. 2:5 "Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works..." Rev. 2:9 "I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty..." And there are many others. And we have all of Hebrews 11, showing how the great men and women of faith were moved to action and obedience to God, and that they all had to exercise faith by daring to do - to act - on the Word of the Lord given. This faith driven obedience is what catapulted them forward in their relationship with God and in learning more of Who He Is. Don't' be afraid of "works". The only kind of "works" that God rejects are: Works directly opposing His Revealed Word Works done in wrong motive Works of the flesh. And don't be afraid to "do" or obey the Scripture in some area just because others may not understand or may assume you are "doing" it from a wrong heart place. If God has shown you something in His Word, and you want to do it out of love and obedience for Him, take courage and run with God. You will never regret it. As believers filled with the Holy Spirit, we will want to do the works that God has prepared in advance for us to do. Eph 2:10 "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." We are not just saved from something - from our sin, and God's judgment upon it but to something - to relationship and new life with God through Jesus Christ. A new life - and this of course involves living, yes? Living - moving through our days in connection with the Holy Spirit, and this in turn will start to look like we are "doing" some things very differently that before we knew and walked with Jesus, just by very nature of Him changing us, as we get to know Him. Our choices change, our speech, our passions, our hobbies perhaps, our morals, our shopping habits, our thought patterns...we find it all changes as we learn more from His Word and get to know His heart. Makes sense, really... true love does that to a person... We do love to stay gazing at the cross and rejoice there, (and we can certainly bring this wonder with us each day) but we are also called to seek God and His Word and find out what what's in there, and what He has prepared for us to do. His Word invites us into relationship to "walk" with Him and that will "look" like something. It may not look cookie-cutter-the-same for everyone, but let's not pull others down for following the Scripture (and doing things that reflect what they have learned there) as best they know and according to what they understand there. I love this community. What a huge blessing to connect with other believers, differences aside.
It's not done for salvation. It's just a matter of obedience. Here's a good place to start... www.headcoveringmovement.com/articles/should-i-always-obey-my-husband
This is one of the most peculiar and inaccurate talks Derek Prince is performing. Paul actually says the headcovering shows the womans respect to her husband - and not to God. (If it was towards God the male should also cover, but they don't.) The hair is not the woman's glory, it is a sign for her glory. If her hair falls out she doesn't lose her dignity.
To carry on to the second half of 1 cor 11.15, and complete an otherwise incomplete reading….”for long hair is given to her as a covering “, In other words, God has already provided the covering, there’s nothing saying that the covering has to be a hat or headscarf or hijab, or any other kind of religious paraphernalia.
“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.” 1 Corinthians 11:6 ESV If you read the rest of the passage, I don’t think the head covering Paul is requiring is the same as the “covering” of our hair
@@kaylaberg.20 It's both. Clearly, in 13 and 14, Paul is referring to hair: Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? 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.
Interesting. But where in the scriptures does God reqiure this.? I am aware the scriptures of paul saying this but is this just pauls view? What i mean paul is not God so are we ment to take on everthing paul said as if God told him?
@donnawiseman3686 Paul was inspired by the Holy Spirit to write what he did, so everything in the New Testament that Paul wrote is the word of God, not merely of Paul. As such, it deserves to be obeyed. Also, the reasons God (through Paul) gives for headcovering are based on principles which are found *throughout Scripture*, not just in this one place. The following study might be helpful for clarifying what the Bible teaches about headcovering: www.headcoveringmovement.com/study
@@Wilbur-mj3fq I ask because people want to discredit the bible by throwing mud and hoping some sticks. They don´t have proof and talk crap because talk is cheap, friend. Because the scripture says this in 1 Corinthians 11: 14-15 .."14Doesn’t nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering"
@@faithfulwitness9172 Jennifer absolutely - we all can fall into disobedience in our walk with God. It happens when we allow the flesh and our emotions be our guide and not the word of God. When tempted in the desert, Jesus always used "It is written" He allowed the word to be His guiding light and overcame all the devils temptations. We just need to follow our Lord's example. What does the word tells us about women pastors? What does the word of God tells us about head covering? Do the study and ask the Lord to open your understanding. Both have to do with God's ordained order of authority. The hierarchy of authority in an organization is designed to benefit the company and the employees. Likewise, the hierarchy of authority from the Almighty is designed to benefit the Kingdom of heaven and the sealed Saints of God. God bless.....
@@adioconnell5370 Well Jesus never met Paul. Jesus ministered to and seemed to rebuke judgement of the "lower class" prostitutes and the like. Jesus CERTAINLY wasn't talking about anything Paul wrote when he said "it is written," so I think using Jesus's words here to argue for what Paul said is an example of putting words in his mouth. Do you want to put words in Jesus's mouth?
@@joshadkison3912 hmmm? I can't reply to your statement Josh, sorry. If you skipped over the fundamental teaching for women throughout scripture from Genesis to Revelation for women's humble submission to God's ordained authority and interpret my statement as "putting words in Jesus' mouth" if that's your understanding, of what I wrote, then I must simply pray for the Lord Jesus to help you to understand this teaching for His daughters who have submitted themselves to God's authority and headship over their lives. You missed the point entirely. God bless you.
Long hair is the only head covering God gave to women. Paul refers to the law of nature, so it's inherent in us and has natural origins that contradict religious artificial veils.
Neither God the Father nor Jesus Christ himself or any man or woman of God has ever said that women are men's toys. That is an evil lie. Man and wo-man are one kind, mankind, male and female man. It is not men who want women to cover their heads when praying or prophesying, it is God. Things are what they are, the way they are by truth. Everything functions and mal-functions in certain ways because of the True way that things exist and function. If we think they function in any other way than they actually do then we are deceived and we will suffer the consequences of believing and implementing inferior concepts. Certainly there are men or women who treat others as play things either physically, emotionally, or spiritually. They will reap the consequences of their words and deeds. There will be a divine reckoning, otherwise life is not ultimately fantastic, and that is simply untenable. Such people are not only missing out on the glory and beauty of sharing the divine privilege of unity, with God while being fragile sensitive creatures, - but they are heaping up condemnation from a Holy and righteous God who has taken the penalty of sin on himself, and is ever pouring out Truth , Power and Love upon mankind to bless us, heal us, and bring us to wholeness and maturity. I could write a lot more regarding equivalency of men and women in support of the God's ordinance of head covering for women, and not for men, but I suspect it would be casting pearls. Take care with judgement, un-forgiveness and bitterness and all lies that ignore that Christ has paid the price for sin.
That's incorrect seawitch,for in that same chapter men are told not to dishonor their heads by covering it symbolically. You speak like a common feminist liberal/JEZABEL. For that is their typical way of thinking,women are only equal to men in that YAH loves BOTH equally,but that doesn't negate his system of authority. Which is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🔥 EVENTUALLY. THE FIRST WOMEN WAS DISOBEDIENT,DECEPTIVE, FIRST NOT MAN WHO WAS MADE FIRST,THOUGH JESUS =GOD IN THE FLESH LIVED AS A HUMAN,SO THAT BOTH SEXES MAY FIND REDEMPTION,GUVES US GRACE,AND SALVATION IF WE WANT IT,IT IS CONDITIONAL,IN THAT IT STILL REQUIRES OUR HEARTS TO LOVE HIM ENOUGH TO WANT TO OBEY HIS WAYS NOT OUR OWN FALLEN PERNICIOUS DESIRES,FOR HE HAS SAID NOTHING THAT IS DEFILED SHALL ENTER INTO HEAVEN,NONE OF US WILL BE PERMITTED TO BRING OUR SINS INTO THE KINGDOM OR ELSE IT WOULD DEFILE IT LIKE IT HAS DONE TO OUR EARTHLY HOME.
Oh and if you are a proclaimed witch as your channel name then I must rebuke your curses against me and bind the demons you may evoke; in the name of Yah'shua Hamachiach My savior and King I call on him and his protection against satanic forces of darkness. AHMEIN. 🤗👐Peace and Blessings
Paul tells women in this statement "the why" for headcovering It's "a symbol of authority on her head" - What exactly does that statement mean? Symbol is a thing that represents or stands for something else. So what does the woman's head covering stand for? It stands for God's hierarchy of authority in His Kingdom, In His creation When a woman covers her head in prayer and her work for the Lord - She is announcing to the seen and unseen world, to principalities and powers and wicked rulers in high places and to the angels, to the minions of satan and to the devil himself, "that she has submitted herself and is under the authority of God Almighty"
“You may ask ‘Why?’ I’m not sure God is obligated to tell you why!” Wow. Love this.
It's funny that the modern day church is looking for a "why" that satisfies them. We are told why (at least partially in the passage).
My pastor gave a sermon about how little God actually tells us why. It takes faith for us to follow anyways.
God said thru apostle Paul that we are to cover our heads "because of the angels" Im not exactly sure how this works, except it has to do with the rebellion of Lucifer who was the anointed cherub "that covers" before the throne of God. So we show simple submission in response to the angelic rebellion.
Why WHAT? I think if the explanation cannot be corroborated with the Bible then one is simply accepting someone's interpretation. I can only assume SDA, JW and LDS all get the same response to other doctrines (though they be wrong) that one has to obey their interpretation. This is dangerous ground people are playing here.
@@josiesowers1058 amen!
@josiesowers1058 Yet God does tell you why through Paul. The answer is in Gen 1 through 3 so OBVIOUSLY it is not about culture or Corinth but about creation.

@@BelieverinChristAlways That is correct in general. When it comes to the context here Paul is mainly focused on believing women to cover their heads with long hair.
Once i was baptized in the Holy Spirit and began praying in tongues I felt i needed to cover my head while i was in prayer.

When God told me to cover my head I didn’t ask him why I went straight to get a head covering I never took it off since that day tbh I prefer to wear it anyways I don’t see the need or even the desire to not wear one especially in todays times it’s evil we need it and us woman need it
Thank you for sharing this video. For years as a believer in Jesus Christ I would pray with my head covered. Then the church i was going to at the time, I attended a Bible study and I was told that I didn’t have to have my head covered, that that was for the culture back then. Then I had stopped covering my head. Just recently I felt the Holy Spirit convicting me of not covering my head. I read this verse today and found this video. Thank you man of God for clarifying this for me. Today I will start covering my head again when I pray. God bless all those responsible for this video.
I'm in the same boat as you! But I have steadfastly refused to uncover my head in church. What the Bible says goes. Amen...
Amen. Obey God rather than man. It's sad that churches are teaching this scripture all wrong and leading millions to dishonor God. I too have recently learnt of this and have started covering head. I had no idea as churches here in Kenya too teach that it was a cultural issues or try to explain it away to suit fashion and modernity
I HAD EXACTLY THE SAME EXPERIENCE

@@55mmartin where do you buy your head coverings?
This was a big topic for me coming out of nearly 10 years of legalistic fundamentalism where head coverings and having long hair were mandatory for the women of our church. After many years of prayer about these verses God was gracious and showed me that this teaching on long hair and head coverings has no parallel under the OT type and shadow of Christian doctrine. Sound Christian doctrine is found in the OT blueprint such as sacrificial lamb, baptisms and out of servitude into a place of liberty and provision. This answer to these verses while utterly thrilling and liberating left me with a major headache. If they are not to be acted upon why are they there. After a couple of weeks of prayer ( so quick ) I had a verse coming to me 1 Cor 7 1..... now concerning the things whereof you wrote unto me !!!!!!! NOW....concerning the things YOU WROTE UNTO ME...... Paul covered these things because the corinthians had written to him about them. And then at the end of his discourse on their questions he finishes with his statement .....nevertheless we have no such customs neither do the churches of God. WOW!!!
One set of errors doesn't mean all is error.
@@lampandlightpathways Hello, this may be helpful when considering what Paul meant by "we have no such custom": www.headcoveringmovement.com/articles/why-head-coverings-reason-4-church-practice
@@headcovering Hi there thanks for your thoughts. I understand that there are two streams of manuscripts on this subject. Those that have come down through protestant hands and the other through Catholic. The catholic say we have no other custom The protestant say we have no such custom. It leaves believers in a quandary. I can only say what God has revealed which is that the no such custom version is correct. And it is correct because it keeps us focusing on faith on Christs works not our own. In our humanness we are so prone to religious works. Should we also be washing peoples feet ???? Once again without an OT prescribed precedent we are not obligated to make a law of it.
God led in my spirit that to come to him in a head covering while I’m praying and in church.

Beautiful!! As we know, God does not change as we do!! Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever! I don’t have to understand the why, so long as I respect that God Almighty has commended me to do something, THAT is what matters!

I would like to add my two cents here after reading this discussion. First of all I believe we should follow the teaching in 1st Corinthians 11. The main problem here is the misunderstanding of 1st Corinthians 11 altogether. I also have made an intense study of this passage, and the obvious conclusion is that Paul was referring to long hair being the covering.
The first thing one should take notice is the lack of wording required to conclude that a veil is being referred to here. The word veil or cloth is not in the text if we read from the King James version. If you read from the “modern” versions then you might get that view but not from the Textus Receptus.
I would like for you to reread the verses that allegedly refer to a veil which is 4-7 and 13. In those verses we read the words, cover, uncovered and not covered. According to scholars these are used as adverbs. Like if you were to say I am going to cover my feet. No one should be thinking of a veil just the action of being covered. What is missing in these verses are nouns that would prove the idea of veils. Since we should not be assuming anything we should be asking the question what is the thing that a woman should be covered WITH based on the passage ALONE? So if you do the math you would find that Paul refers to hair directly 3 times and then indirectly 4 times with the words shorn and shaven. So if there is no noun for the word veil or cloth yet there are 7 instances of idea of hair, then what are we to conclude? That Paul is referring to hair whether it be short or long.
But the counterargument would be that Paul is allegedly telling women to put something on. But that is not exactly true it says a woman should be covered, but he is referring to long hair based on the surrounding verses. But what about that a woman ought to be covered when praying or prophesying? The assumption is a that Paul was referring to only two instances which is not true he was merely giving us two examples. This also applies to men about being uncovered. Evidence of this is written in the forgoing verses. Paul writes that men ought not to cover because he is the image and glory of God. And then Paul goes into how woman was made for man and is the glory of the man. So it would seem that man shouldn’t be covered at any time if he is the glory and image of God. Paul also mentions that the mere observation of a praying woman should make us note how uncomely (unappealing in appearance) for a woman to be uncovered. Paul states this in a way that it should be obvious to anyone that she looks off in verse 13. He does this again in verse 14 about how shameful it looks if a man has long hair. He says it this way…
Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered? Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? KJV
So this judgement that we should make is exclusively based on observation of an “uncovered” woman as well as a long haired man. Two consecutive questions both appealing to something innate or within us. Paul is in essence saying that it should be obvious to see that something is wrong or off.
So how is it that for the women we are somehow to know within us that a woman would be unappealing in appearance without a manufactured veil? That does not seem logical especially since the word veil is never mentioned. Unless that is not what Paul is meaning but rather that if the woman was not covered in long hair (meaning her hair is short) doing something holy or godly LIKE praying or prophesying. I think most people can relate that looking at a woman with short hair does have an unappealing appearance. It naturally provokes head turns. And if there was any question Paul flat out states what he was talking about in verse 15.
So the facts are that there no nouns to use as evidence of a veil. There is evidence that Paul was using praying and prophesying as examples. Paul appeals to nature and something innate within us to judge that being uncovered or covered (meaning having short hair or long hair) should be obvious to all. So this cannot make sense with a manufactured veil.
Amen thank you for the support that you've given to me in my own life as I have followed the Lord on my lonesome regardless of everyone around me, including all the male pastors that have told me why I don't need to do what I'm doing and that they're not happy about me being in "their" Church because it might cause other women to do so as your wife is doing so do I do and most pastors do not like a head covering woman's presence in their church, regardless I keep on going with the Lord faithfully strengthened in the Spirit God, I am nearing 60 years old now, and his Word is my life has meant every thing to me since I was 25 and was Born again by God himself into his family in heaven. thank you so much for your words of encouragement and support which are identical to my own thoughts my own understanding of God's precious word to my mind and my heart and my conscience. Amen glory to God.
Good for you! I started wearing head covering as a sign of submission to God during prayer. Paul tells us that while we have freedom in Christ, women should cover their heads "because of the angels." That is complex to explain, but I perceive this humble act of submission to be a form of spiritual warfare. Pray on, my sister!

I remember when i was in my ex church(now cult) we had Bible School with VHS tapes from Princs teachings and leadership didnot want this teaching about headcovering infact i didnot know much about that teaching untill i left that church and few years later i have had descovered more about headcovering but i was also shocked how this teaching is attacked since 1800 almost visiously as teaching of salvation and teaching about women role in the church.
Then i realized if Satan can put disorder in these two teachings(headcovering and Godly order in the chrurch) then he has won the battle and boy how he has prevailed.

He's my most favorite minister. I do cover my head, but I don't agree with this explanation. Scripture also says long hair is given for women as a covering
@@ZionJerusalem-k5g Regarding the question of whether the hair is the covering, here is an article you may be interested in reading, from our website: www.headcoveringmovement.com/articles/is-a-womans-long-hair-her-covering
Miss these kind of teachers and preachers in these days. His sermons has helped me a lot personally.
Paul tells women in this statement "the why" for headcovering It's "a symbol of authority on her head" - What exactly does that statement mean? Symbol is a thing that represents or stands for something else. So what does the woman's head covering stand for? It stands for God's hierarchy of authority in His Kingdom, In His creation When a woman covers her head in prayer and her work for the Lord - She is announcing to the seen and unseen world, to principalities and powers and wicked rulers in high places and to the angels, to the minions of satan and to the devil himself, "that she has submitted herself and is under the authority of God Almighty" ---- So back off satan -hands off!!! Every woman of God, especially single women without husbands should want to wear that symbol of authority on her head - because the angels are watching, and so is everyone else in the universe! Ladies make that clear distinction you are not a woman of rebellion, jezebel's daughter, you are like Ruth who left Moab and place herself under the protection and care of Almighty God. "May the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge, reward you" Ruth 2:12-13 for your humble submission to His Word and His Authority. hope this will help women who are still trying to understand this teaching..... God bless you all.

Oooh wee! “Thank God for a woman who isn’t a carbon copy of other women!” My goodness!! Now that is sincerely beautiful! I always encourage women not to be like the disrespectful, spiritually ignorant women of the world. We’ve finally reached the point in Society in which you’re more unique and rare for dressing modestly, than practically being nude. The world is using celebrities to encourage, promote and teach young ladies that their only worth is in their bodies!! Let us be the example and teach the young girls how to respect God and themselves.
As a women who wears a head covering love this truth ❤️👏🏽👏🏽🙏🙌🙌🙌
We can throw in the rebellion of women lying and saying they were called to be a pastor, teacher or apostle!!!
I believe its because the order of headship is God -husband-wife, so I believe the head covering for the woman is for that reason spiritually
Sad and unfortunate that anyone in 2022 still views "headship" as being husband over wife. Why don't we rid ourselves of the idea of "headship" at all? Husbands and wives should love and respect each other equally. I don't care at all what "Paul" had to say as he's done more to bastardize the actual teachings of Jesus than anyone in history.
That's exactly what it is. The hierarchy of mankind created by God started in the garden of Eden and it still applies for today. Those scriptures are comparing the headship of humanity to a woman who is shaven. Women who shaved their heads were either temple prostitutes (Gentiles) or they had been caught in adultery (as per the Mosaic Law).
@@joshadkison3912 Paul's terminology may not be yours (of course) but Jesus said that a husband is to love his wife like Christ loves the Church. Love is patient, love is kind, love is long-suffering.. Headship was created by God in the garden of Eden, not by Paul. Jezebel loved usurping authority over her husband.. I'm sure she's not in heaven- so women desiring to be apart of the kingdom of heaven should not follow her example.
@@joshadkison3912Are you saying "headship" is obsolete because you dont have a backbone to stand as head of your own household? Paul commands husbands "Love your wife as Christ loved the church, and gave Himself for her." You need to seek God for the grace to handle your God given position. Then "headship" is a blessing rather than a hated curse. Man up!
Just started tjos at the prompting of the Holy Spirit and 1 Cor. Praise God ✝️

This is true teaching of the word of God unlike most so called christian ministors now. All these false teacher are at risk of going to hell for teaching falsely.
I knew head covering is biblical but was stubborn to do it and I had a dream about it and that was my confirmation that God wants women to.

I fully agree that head coverings are far more important than contempoary Christians think. Frankly, there is a spirit of disobedience within the church (even amongst "Bible-believing" Christians). I think this spirit is engendered by Feminism.
Many years ago, a friend shared with me her experience worshipping with the Plymouth Brethren. I was a young Christian at the time, and she told me about how they required women to wear a head covering during the service. I'm guessing the PB still insist on this practice [?].
Now I am covering my hair during my pray time.
1 Corinthians 11:4-13
King James Version
4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.
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.
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.
8 For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man.
9 Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.
it has to be amazing on how many things we neglect about the Bible...
Most don’t know that the plan of Salvation is outlined in Acts 2:38. Acts 4:12 confirms it. You can’t go to the book of Romans without going thru the book of Acts of the Apostles for this is how the birth of the New Testament church took place.
Thank you!! I was recently convicted to cover my head and I’m the only one I know who does.
@randihubbard1352 You're welcome! We're happy to hear that you've recently started covering your head! I was the only one for 11 years at our previous church, and it was challenging for me at times, but I'm so happy I persevered. :)

whats your thoughts on apostolic hair ( the practice of Christian women not cutting their hair ) ? do you believe it to be as important as headcovering ? do believe Christian women should do both ?
I’m not aware of a Bible passage that instructs Christian women to not cut their hair, so I don’t think they’re comparable. When the Bible explicitly tells us to do something like cover our heads during prayer and prophecy, that’s different than someone’s opinion that it’s better to not cut your hair. I’m pretty confident that God never told us all to never cut our hair. Maybe God would like us women to keep our hair long so we don’t look androgynous, but that’s different than never cutting it
It also says men should not have hair like women but a Nazirite never cuts his hair (Samson). Its not a requirement as we have freedom in Christ, BUT women are to COVER their heads "because of the angels." Not everyone can do long hair, but you should not be looking like a man. Unless of course you sent all your long hair to make wigs for kids with cancer...but I digress
So even when "you speak to me" does this mean even when you're alone? As the reason is for the angels not for brothers and sisters.
Someone I know covers her head only if there's another man, if there is me (sister) and her husband she doesn't cover her head. What would that mean?
What to do with women who are not married? Do they have to cover their head? And why, according to Paul?
An unmarried woman is still under the headship of her father 😊
Regardless of if she wants to think that way, she should consider still veiling for modesty's sake. Save your beautiful hair for your future husband, and be content with being seen only by God.
awesome

Publically, one prays all the time between herself and Hod. You don't pray all the time publically.
Many woman wear a 'head covering' but don't submit to their husbands/male authority! It's heart attitude of submission. I believe the covering is symbolic just like bread and wine take on a symbolic meaning taking the Lord's supper.
It's sad that you believe the Lord's Supper is symbolic while Jesus stands in front of His disciples and says "This is my Body." A host of followers left Him when He described this fact to them (John 6) because it was too difficult for them.
@@shellieperreault6262 So if you were to take the bread and wine that has been blessed by a priest/pastor into a lab and study what it’s components are after being blessed vs before, do you actually believe you would then see real blood and real flesh? Or would it still be bread and wine?
I simply don’t believe that you ACTUALLY think you are eating flesh and drinking blood.
Jesus TAUGHT IN PARABLES. He used allegory and symbolism as his method of teaching, so I think I’ll trust Jesus and assume he was being symbolic there as well.
The only place Jesus doesn’t teach in parables is the gospel of John, which is one really good indication that it’s the least historical (along with being the last written and numerous other issues

Paul says women are free but should cover their heads "because of the angels" As for spousal submission, remember God commands "Husbands, love your wife as Christ loved the church, and gave Himself for her." Maybe the reason for non-submission is lack of godly spiritual heads of household? Selah.
Amen!
My wife covers her head out of reverence for God and headship when praying or in church. However I give grace here but think at minimum woman should keep their hair long as a covering. Another thing is what do we do about the holy kiss? Men are supposed to embrace with a holy kiss when they see their brother in Christ. I apply this as a hug or hand shake but if I really wanted to get uptight I would need to kiss. And of course I keep my head uncovered during prayer and church.
Hopefully this article can be helpful to you...
www.headcoveringmovement.com/articles/head-covering-and-the-holy-kiss
@@headcovering I disagree I think we should hold to both as the holy kiss might not be talked about in as great of length it is mentioned more times throughout scripture. What’s most important is the reason behind both which is love for God and his people and keeping with traditions to honor God. A holy kiss in America or holy embrace would be a hug or handshake, and head covering would be a hat or vail or long hair. However in honoring God if we choose to wear a veil or give an actual kiss I’m fine with that as well.
Yes, the long hair replaces the fabric as covering.
Please check out David bercot (spelling?) On UA-cam I think he did a sermon on head coverings you might like! !
What was Pastor Prince views on modesty, like jewlery, makeup and wearing skirts only?
I'm confused. I read the scripture and want to make sure I understand it and you correctly. A woman's head should be covered, even if she has hair, anytime she is communing with God or prophesying on His behalf. Am I understanding correctly? If a woman's hair is her glory, why does it not work as a head covering?
It’s not really about a woman’s hair. Scripture says that woman is the glory of the man. Therefore, by covering our heads, we are symbolically covering man’s glory.
Man is the glory of Christ. Woman is the glory of man. And a women's hair is her glory. Therefore, to show the order of submission, women are to cover their glory so only Christ's glory is shown when we are praying and prophesying.
The best explanation is to use verse 6 of 1st Corinthians 11
For if a woman does not cover, let her also have her hair cut off.
In trying to see why swapping out a covering for hair doesn't work we assume that if long hair is equal to covering then short hair would equal uncovered. Using verse 6 with cover swapped out for hair it would read:
For if a woman does not [have long hair], let her also have her hair cut off.
The very next verse says that having her hair cut or shaved is disgraceful. And if she already doesn't have long hair than she would obviously have short hair, so how would she then cut off short hair more? Shaving it? But then that's stated as disgraceful.
I hope that makes sense! 💕
Thank you ladies 😊
Something which I believe should be mentioned more often to those who believe that hair is sufficient for a covering is that the word for covering in 1 Corinthians 11:15 (for her hair is given to her for a covering (greek: peribolaion)) is a different word than every other use of Covering in in the passage (greek: katakalyptos).
The translators did not help us out with this passage. But when we realize that entirely different words are used, we can more easily see that Paul is referring to a physical, visual symbol showing our obedience and representing God's order of creation.
@@jennylhenry78 nice job explaining that sister! I wasn't quite grasping that understanding but I do now, praise the Lord.

He is/was trinitarian, and NOT a Christian. FACT.
He DID NOT inherit the kingdom of God. He is in hell now as we speak. - Unfortunately.
Trust Derek Prince to give you sound doctrine
It is very clear in the Bible that, 1) the covering that God is refering to is a woman's long hair - that is her covering (v. 15 KJV), and 2) this is not a commandment, it was a recommendation by the church (v. 16 KJV). I do believe that it is pleasing to God for woman and men to be distinct, men should have short hair and woman should have long hair. And there should be a difference in the way we dress (women wear skirts and dresses & men wear pants). Having said that, I also believe that these are issues between each true believer and their Savior and Lord, Jesus. There are instances in the Bible where men did have long hair. Ultimately, God looks upon the heart. But every person who wants to truly please God will do whatever He asks of them. That is the beautiful thing about our Christian faith is that we have a choice and we have individual callings. Let's not become legalistic, but let's focus on what truly is important! Having a relationship with God so close that we hear the Holy Spirit's voice speaking to us, and we willfully obey everything He asks, with sincere love for our Heavenly Father and Savior, Jesus Christ!

According to scholars these are used as adverbs. Like if you were to say I am going to cover my feet. No one should be thinking of a veil just the action of being covered. What is missing in these verses are nouns that would prove the idea of veils. Since we should not be assuming anything we should be asking the question what is the thing that a woman should be covered WITH based on the passage ALONE? So if you do the math you would find that Paul refers to hair directly 3 times and then indirectly 4 times with the words shorn and shaven. So if there is no noun for the word veil or cloth yet there are 7 instances of idea of hair, then what are we to conclude? That Paul is referring to hair whether it be short or long.
But the counterargument would be that Paul is allegedly telling women to put something on. But that is not exactly true it says a woman should be covered, but he is referring to long hair based on the surrounding verses. But what about that a woman ought to be covered when praying or prophesying? The assumption is a that Paul was referring to only two instances which is not true he was merely giving us two examples. This also applies to men about being uncovered. Evidence of this is written in the forgoing verses. Paul writes that men ought not to cover because he is the image and glory of God. And then Paul goes into how woman was made for man and is the glory of the man. So it would seem that man shouldn’t be covered at any time if he is the glory and image of God. Paul also mentions that the mere observation of a praying woman should make us note how uncomely (unappealing in appearance) for a woman to be uncovered. Paul states this in a way that it should be obvious to anyone that she looks off in verse 13. He does this again in verse 14 about how shameful it looks if a man has long hair. He says it this way…
Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered? Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? KJV
So this judgement that we should make is exclusively based on observation of an “uncovered” woman as well as a long haired man. Two consecutive questions both appealing to something innate or within us. Paul is in essence saying that it should be obvious to see that something is wrong or off.
So how is it that for the women we are somehow to know within us that a woman would be unappealing in appearance without a manufactured veil? That does not seem logical especially since the word veil is never mentioned. Unless that is not what Paul is meaning but rather that if the woman was not covered in long hair (meaning her hair is short) doing something holy or godly LIKE praying or prophesying. I think most people can relate that looking at a woman with short hair does have an unappealing appearance. It naturally provokes head turns. And if there was any question Paul flat out states what he was talking about in verse 15.
So the facts are that there no nouns to use as evidence of a veil. There is evidence that Paul was using praying and prophesying as examples. Paul appeals to nature and something innate within us to judge that being uncovered or covered (meaning having short hair or long hair) should be obvious to all. So this cannot make sense with a manufactured veil.
@@robertmiller812 Thank you for the in-depth explanation.
I was born in India and raised a Hindu. We covered our head when we went to temple. After being born again and following Jesus my life has completely been transformed . Scripture says that Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth! Amen!
I don’t use any hair covering at church and I had a strong desire not to cut my hair but I have heard different understandings on this topic and I want to do the right thing.
I also understand that we all have our personal convictions from the Lord and different cultural backgrounds.
My mom who is in India believes in Jesus but she covers her head when they pray together because of culture.
Thank you again for shining some light on this. Blessings 🙏🏻
The covering is to cover her sense of pride which is her hair. Her hair is her glory.
’ve never heard this and it seems interesting but what about 1 Corinthians 11:15
But only when she prays or and prophesying, so why is Ruth wearing a covering if she's not doing those things here?
Hi, Erika, that's a good question. This is just a video clip, but it doesn't show the whole sermon. Perhaps Ruth wanted to have a headcovering on so that she would be ready for anytime that prayer or prophesying would happen. Prayer could be group prayer, usually led by one person but joined in heart by all, and prophesying could be anytime that someone speaks directly out of God's Word, perhaps reading it out loud. Prophesying can also mean worshiping God through song. Any of those things can easily happen in a church meeting.
Hope that helps!

In 1 Corinthians 11:10, Paul says "Therefore the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels" (NASB), also rendered "That is why a woman ought to have a veil on her head, because of the angels" (RSV).
@@headcovering I have seen the whole video. If I track down the link I will post it. She actually is speaking in this session, too, and at the beginning of every teaching session Mr. Prince did, if she was present, she was always up at the front with him quoting Scripture memory passages, and yes, she was also an active part in their ministry times in the services, so she obviously felt that she should be covered in those contexts. She, personally, was very convicted about this matter, it was not her husband's conviction, alone.

Maybe someday the Holy Spirit will convince me otherwise
pray without ceasing
cover head when praying.
conclusion: cover without ceasing
@ljp9402 If you take a look at the articles on our website, under the section "Head Covering Questions" (scroll down a little), you will find several articles which attempt to address the question of *when* and *how often* to cover, though from slightly different perspectives: www.headcoveringmovement.com/articles-series
Derek speaks the same as Gino Jennings, ❤example well ,just like jenning

👍👍
It says the woman’s hair is her covering
You are so right may God bless you.
The angels who sinned….
In India all women do cover the head in church and prayer … sometimes when I pray Holy Spirit convicts me to at least put a towel over my head !
Thanks, SG! Are you from India? We have an article on our site from someone who visited there and observed the same thing you mentioned: www.headcoveringmovement.com/articles/christian-headcovering-in-india

Is he saying
As long as a woman has hair
On her head
Her head is covered?

@blackguanabana1313
This article on our website addresses that perspective: www.headcoveringmovement.com/articles/is-a-womans-long-hair-her-covering
God wants us to understand His Word and if we're reading something we need to properly understand the context. The scripture instructs us to get understanding. With that being said, the Lord had me to go on a fast, the Spirit led me to pray 3x's a day and would let me know when to stop, but He never told me to put on a head covering. During this fast, the Lord showed me heaven one night. My spirit was flying above it (that's the best way I can describe it). The colors are so beautiful in heaven- they are not the same as here on earth. This wouldn't be possible if I was supposed to had worn a headcovering during prayer. Not saying that God doesn't tell some people to do so.. He's just never instructed me. And I find it hard that these scriptures aren't referencing to headship, a woman being under submission to her father or husband and Christ. I also know that during the time of this teaching there were new converts who had been temple prostitutes apart of this congregation who had shaved hair bc this is what they had participated in bc 1 Corinthians 11:15 tells you that the hair is a woman's covering.
God's word is the standard. What he requires is obedience. We don't esteem encounters over the word.
Hi, Andrea, here is a good article from the HCM site that addresses the issue you brought up:
www.headcoveringmovement.com/articles/i-prayed-about-it-and-i-dont-feel-convicted-to-cover
Andrea I'll pray for your understanding. Continue to seek Him. Do you remember the statement Jesus said, In that day many will come to Him and say Lord we did all these miracles and great things in Your Name. He said He will say I never knew you, you who work lawlessness. This word "lawlessness" was what they were guilty of. What is Lawless - not governed by or obedient to laws; characterized by a lack of civic order. Now look at "Ness" The suffix "-ness" means "state : condition : So what is Jesus saying? Why has He judged them as non of His? - they lived in a continual state, a condition of disobedience to His Governance, to His and His Father's laws as written is scripture for our adherence, for our instruction and obedience. For centuries Christian women followed this teaching everywhere around the world. Then
the spirit of "feminism" "Jezebel" "Rebellion" entered the church and women in the church became like women in the world , pastors moved away from the Word of God to appease the senses and appetites of "modern women" and this teaching was lost - So today many women in the church are resistant, really resistant to this. May God help you to understand... pray some more and ask for revelation and understanding my sister... God bless you today.
@@adioconnell5370 Your views are to put it simply, repugnant. I’m at a complete loss how you take Jesus’s statement on “lawlessness” and somehow twist it into a gross anti feminist warning. You do realize you are TWISTING JESUS CHRIST’s words to fit YOUR agenda. How can you possibly pretend to love and worship Jesus when you don’t even listen to what he has to say. You don’t even pay attention to how he lived his life. New Testament scholars have repeatedly made the absolute true claim that “of all founders of religions and religious sects, Jesus stands alone as THE ONE WHO DID NOT DISCRIMINATE IN SOME WAY AGAINST WOMEN.” He literally treated them as his equal. He let them be his close disciples. He let them preach his message. He speaks to them as equals when the culture FORBADE this at the time. Jesus ignored cultural norms to treat women equally.
This is all true, yet you pretend you know better than Jesus. You pretend it was actually Paul and the writers who forged letters in Paul’s name who know the REAL role of women in Jesus’s church.
Please make it make sense. I can’t rationalize that thought process in the slightest. How can you?
@@FA-God-s-Words-Matter Thank you. Scriptural Evidence, is where the buck stops. You said so much to make the point I was making. Glad we can agree on Scriptural Evidence is all that matters in the end. God bless you 🙏
Sounds like works again
All Obedience is works, we are to be Obedient.
(kind of long, but hope your read it, not meant in any harsh way, and given from a heart of love... and you don't have to agree with me, just thoughts to ponder...)
Works?
James 2:26 "For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also."
James 3:13 "Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom."
The word "conversation" there is the Greek word: ἀναστροφή
anastrophē
an-as-trof-ay'
From G390; behavior: - conversation. This means manner of being, behavior, what we do.
And we have the letters to the churches in Revelation where works are brought up by Jesus Himself, and at times He commends their works or condemns their works (and what are the churches? People, people like us) , so what we do is supposed to be an "outworking" of what we believe.
In truth, it really always is anyways, yes? We do what we do in anything in life because of what
we believe - what is in our hearts. That's why we chose the music we chose, the places
we go out to, the clothes we wear, the friends we love, the things we will or won't do, the art we like...
This all stems out of what we believe about God, His Word and about ourselves... we can look
at our lives lived and really know from that so much about who we really are... That's where we get the famous phrase "actions speak louder than words"
Rev. 2:2 "I know thy works, and thy labor..."
Rev. 2:5 "Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works..."
Rev. 2:9 "I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty..."
And there are many others.
And we have all of Hebrews 11, showing how the great men and women of faith were moved to action and obedience to God, and that they all had to exercise faith by daring to do - to act - on the Word of the Lord given. This faith driven obedience is what catapulted them forward in their relationship with God and in learning more of Who He Is.
Don't' be afraid of "works". The only kind of "works" that God rejects are:
Works directly opposing His Revealed Word
Works done in wrong motive
Works of the flesh.
And don't be afraid to "do" or obey the Scripture in some area just because others may not understand or may assume you are "doing" it from a wrong heart place. If God has shown you something in His Word, and you want to do it out of love and obedience for Him, take courage and run with God. You will never regret it.
As believers filled with the Holy Spirit, we will want to do the works that God has prepared in advance for us to do.
Eph 2:10 "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them."
We are not just saved from something - from our sin, and God's judgment upon it
but to something - to relationship and new life with God through Jesus Christ.
A new life - and this of course involves living, yes? Living - moving through our days in connection with the Holy Spirit, and this in turn will start to look like we are "doing" some things very differently that before we knew and walked with Jesus, just by very nature of Him changing us, as we get to know Him. Our choices change, our speech, our passions, our hobbies perhaps, our morals, our shopping habits, our thought patterns...we find it all changes as we learn more from His Word and get to know His heart. Makes sense, really... true love does that to a person...
We do love to stay gazing at the cross and rejoice there, (and we can certainly bring this wonder with us each day) but we are also called to seek God and His Word and find out what what's in there, and what He has prepared for us to do. His Word invites us into relationship to "walk" with Him and that will "look" like something. It may not look cookie-cutter-the-same for everyone, but let's not pull others down for following the Scripture (and doing things that reflect what they have learned there) as best they know and according to what they understand there.
I love this community. What a huge blessing to connect with other believers, differences aside.
@@cheryl1625 I've been so blessed by how well you've explained this. God bless you.
It's not done for salvation. It's just a matter of obedience. Here's a good place to start...
www.headcoveringmovement.com/articles/should-i-always-obey-my-husband
This is one of the most peculiar and inaccurate talks Derek Prince is performing. Paul actually says the headcovering shows the womans respect to her husband - and not to God. (If it was towards God the male should also cover, but they don't.) The hair is not the woman's glory, it is a sign for her glory. If her hair falls out she doesn't lose her dignity.
To carry on to the second half of 1 cor 11.15, and complete an otherwise incomplete reading….”for long hair is given to her as a covering “,
In other words, God has already provided the covering, there’s nothing saying that the covering has to be a hat or headscarf or hijab, or any other kind of religious paraphernalia.
“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.”
1 Corinthians 11:6 ESV
If you read the rest of the passage, I don’t think the head covering Paul is requiring is the same as the “covering” of our hair
@@kaylaberg.20 It's both. Clearly, in 13 and 14, Paul is referring to hair:
Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? 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.
Interesting. But where in the scriptures does God reqiure this.? I am aware the scriptures of paul saying this but is this just pauls view? What i mean paul is not God so are we ment to take on everthing paul said as if God told him?
@donnawiseman3686 Paul was inspired by the Holy Spirit to write what he did, so everything in the New Testament that Paul wrote is the word of God, not merely of Paul. As such, it deserves to be obeyed. Also, the reasons God (through Paul) gives for headcovering are based on principles which are found *throughout Scripture*, not just in this one place. The following study might be helpful for clarifying what the Bible teaches about headcovering: www.headcoveringmovement.com/study
In Apostolic they say that cutting your hair is a sin and not cutting your hair shows as a covering.
Yes, that's true about some Apostolic groups, but that teaching isn't in the Bible.
As a new believer, this is very confusing to me. Isn’t that the Old Testament law? Wasn’t the law fulfilled with Jesus?
Yes, the Old Testament laws were given to the Jews. But the New Testament teaching on head covering was given to all Christians.
but the bible says that the woman, so long as she doesn´t have very short hair, has her head covered by her HAIR!
No it says if she won't cover it to shave it bald
@@Wilbur-mj3fq find that scripture please
@@senderoestrecho9142 bruh it's your book.
@@Wilbur-mj3fq I ask because people want to discredit the bible by throwing mud and hoping some sticks. They don´t have proof and talk crap because talk is cheap, friend. Because the scripture says this in 1 Corinthians 11: 14-15
.."14Doesn’t nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering"
@@senderoestrecho9142 1 Corinthians 11:6
I'm going to have to respectfully disagree. I am a woman pastor who doesnt cover my head when I preach/teach/pray etc.
Rebellion? Possibly?
And what does this statement mean? Can you be disobedient in your walk with God or not?
@@faithfulwitness9172 Jennifer absolutely - we all can fall into disobedience in our walk with God. It happens when we allow the flesh and our emotions be our guide and not the word of God. When tempted in the desert, Jesus always used "It is written" He allowed the word to be His guiding light and overcame all the devils temptations. We just need to follow our Lord's example. What does the word tells us about women pastors? What does the word of God tells us about head covering? Do the study and ask the Lord to open your understanding. Both have to do with God's ordained order of authority. The hierarchy of authority in an organization is designed to benefit the company and the employees. Likewise, the hierarchy of authority from the Almighty is designed to benefit the Kingdom of heaven and the sealed Saints of God. God bless.....
@@adioconnell5370 Well Jesus never met Paul. Jesus ministered to and seemed to rebuke judgement of the "lower class" prostitutes and the like. Jesus CERTAINLY wasn't talking about anything Paul wrote when he said "it is written," so I think using Jesus's words here to argue for what Paul said is an example of putting words in his mouth. Do you want to put words in Jesus's mouth?
@@joshadkison3912 hmmm? I can't reply to your statement Josh, sorry. If you skipped over the fundamental teaching for women throughout scripture from Genesis to Revelation for women's humble submission to God's ordained authority and interpret my statement as "putting words in Jesus' mouth" if that's your understanding, of what I wrote, then I must simply pray for the Lord Jesus to help you to understand this teaching for His daughters who have submitted themselves to God's authority and headship over their lives. You missed the point entirely. God bless you.
I would like to see more men not cut their beards as well. It's a definite mark of maleness.
It's part of natural masculinity, though there's not a passage commanding it.
Long hair is the only head covering God gave to women. Paul refers to the law of nature, so it's inherent in us and has natural origins that contradict religious artificial veils.
If men want their women to cover their heads then they should cover their heads too. We women are not men's toys.
Neither God the Father nor Jesus Christ himself or any man or woman of God has ever said that women are men's toys. That is an evil lie. Man and wo-man are one kind, mankind, male and female man.
It is not men who want women to cover their heads when praying or prophesying, it is God.
Things are what they are, the way they are by truth. Everything functions and mal-functions in certain ways because of the True way that things exist and function.
If we think they function in any other way than they actually do then we are deceived and we will suffer the consequences of believing and implementing inferior concepts.
Certainly there are men or women who treat others as play things either physically, emotionally, or spiritually. They will reap the consequences of their words and deeds.
There will be a divine reckoning, otherwise life is not ultimately fantastic, and that is simply untenable.
Such people are not only missing out on the glory and beauty of sharing the divine privilege of unity, with God while being fragile sensitive creatures, - but they are heaping up condemnation from a Holy and righteous God who has taken the penalty of sin on himself, and is ever pouring out Truth , Power and Love upon mankind to bless us, heal us, and bring us to wholeness and maturity.
I could write a lot more regarding equivalency of men and women in support of the God's ordinance of head covering for women, and not for men, but I suspect it would be casting pearls. Take care with judgement, un-forgiveness and bitterness and all lies that ignore that Christ has paid the price for sin.
That's incorrect seawitch,for in that same chapter men are told not to dishonor their heads by covering it symbolically. You speak like a common feminist liberal/JEZABEL. For that is their typical way of thinking,women are only equal to men in that YAH loves BOTH equally,but that doesn't negate his system of authority. Which is GOD=1ST; JESUS=2ND ;MEN=3RD;
WOMEN =4TH,FOR IT WAS EVE THE FIRST WOMAN WHO CHOSE DISOBEDIENCE AND TOOK OF THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT FROM THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE SHE SINNED FIRST NOT HER HUSBAND ADAM,BUT SHE THEN GAVE HIM A FRUIT AND AFTER GIVING IT TO HIM AND AFTER HE BIT INTO IT DID SHE TELL HIM WHERE SHE GOT IT. SO YOU SEE SHE BROUGHT THE JUDGMENT OF YAH UPON US ALL BUT ITS WORSE FOR US FEMALES,SO THIS IS WHY WOMEN WERE TREATED AS 2ND CLASS AND STILL ARE IN SOME NATIONS,BECAUSE MEN INHERENTLY AND INSTINCTIVELY HAVE AN ANCIENT GRUDGE THAT NOT ONLY THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND BUT AREN'T EVEN AWARE THAT ITS THERE. THEY JUST DO AS THEY WERE TAUGHT FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION,ITS ONLY WHEN THEY HEED THE VOICE OF YAH DO THEY LEAEN HOW THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO TREAT THEIR WOMEN,DO THEY DO WHAT'S RIGHT AND ACCEPTABLE IN THE SIGHT OF YAH,BUT MEN WHO ARE JUST AS REBELLIOUS AND DEFIANT AS WOMEN; ARE LEAD INTO PERDITION AND HABITUAL SIN ,ONLY TO BE CAST INTO
THE LAKE OF 🔥 EVENTUALLY.
THE FIRST WOMEN WAS DISOBEDIENT,DECEPTIVE, FIRST NOT MAN WHO WAS MADE FIRST,THOUGH JESUS =GOD IN THE FLESH LIVED AS A HUMAN,SO THAT BOTH SEXES MAY FIND REDEMPTION,GUVES US GRACE,AND SALVATION IF WE WANT IT,IT IS CONDITIONAL,IN THAT IT STILL REQUIRES OUR HEARTS TO LOVE HIM ENOUGH TO WANT TO OBEY HIS WAYS NOT OUR OWN FALLEN PERNICIOUS DESIRES,FOR HE HAS SAID NOTHING THAT IS DEFILED SHALL ENTER INTO HEAVEN,NONE OF US WILL BE PERMITTED TO BRING OUR SINS INTO THE KINGDOM OR ELSE IT WOULD DEFILE IT LIKE IT HAS DONE TO OUR EARTHLY HOME.
Oh and if you are a proclaimed witch as your channel name then I must rebuke your curses against me and bind the demons you may evoke; in the name of Yah'shua Hamachiach My savior and King I call on him and his protection against satanic forces of darkness. AHMEIN.

@@inyahuahitrustmd9114 Well, the Sea Witch is actually an inside joke between my husband and I but whatever😸
Paul tells women in this statement "the why" for headcovering It's "a symbol of authority on her head" - What exactly does that statement mean? Symbol is a thing that represents or stands for something else. So what does the woman's head covering stand for? It stands for God's hierarchy of authority in His Kingdom, In His creation When a woman covers her head in prayer and her work for the Lord - She is announcing to the seen and unseen world, to principalities and powers and wicked rulers in high places and to the angels, to the minions of satan and to the devil himself, "that she has submitted herself and is under the authority of God Almighty"
