I will always try to obey God when I know He's telling me to do something. If you read my reply carefully, you will see I said I would be willing to cover my head if He asked me to, as He did one of the women in our church whose head was covered for several months until He said she could stop. I have no problem with obedience when I know it's from God and not from a legalistic way of looking at things.

God told this woman to cover her head? Personally? That is interesting. Again, as I said at the end of my post, we can wonder whether Paul was giving personal opinion regarding the covering of heads. I can understand that take. The more important issue is HOW do we know something is from God and not our over-active imaginations? This takes discernment. That is why the Church is so important on such issues.
