Before the 60’s Hippy generation, most all women wore headscarves, regardless of religion.................
Well then let all women wear hijab a

Just another reason I don’t go to a box on Sunday
Got hates bare heads. Nobody knows why to this day.
Popes wear funny hats, priests wear funny flat brim cowboy hats, Jews wear skullcaps. Moslems and sihks wear head covers and moslems completely bag up their women. Nuns wear a headwrap with the face all taped up.
Everyone pretty much agrees, god hates bare heads.
And why is the woman in the photo shaved head bald? Cancer, that cool. Fashion, she’s a weirdo.
This is going nowhere.
“The trouble is, of course, that Paul doesn’t say exactly this, and we run the risk of ‘explaining’ him in terms that might (perhaps) make sense to us while ignoring what he himself says” (Ibid, 141).
It is argued by the guy here really well: Jewishnotgreek.com
It’s on a different controversial doctrine.
In my congregation, lace mantillas are currently in style for the teenaged charismatic girls. Last year it was the adults, this year it’s the 14-year-olds. Go figure.
Anyway, they’re sweet girls, and they look pretty.
Not enough understand ‘headship’ or God’s governmental order and authority. Paul did.
muslim woman who wear the coverings may not understand it either, but they are a testimony to what Paul was teaching.
Fascinating to watch hillary get ridiculed for a head covering. when she is the prime example of a woman seeking the position of ‘man’- a curse from the garden- even more prophectically displayed with her desire for ‘wearing the pants’— mens wear..
And then attagirls when certain other women do not cover their head.
But it’s out of ignorance of Headship and authority and governmental order- something that Paul understood.
leaven in the kingdom.
Just my opinion, based on nothing but assumptions.
In the early days of the Church, it was understood that your went to Church/Mass on Sunday to worship God. Congregants tried to diminish anything that detracted from the worship of God.
My assumption is that in those times, a woman’s hair, especially for those with little resources, was worn in place of jewelry. Adorned and or braided to catch the attention of a certain young fellow, or just to make themselves feel better.
Is it not possible that true believers, in an act of humility, chose to cover their hair as a way of saying, “it’s not about me”? or “It’s not me you should be paying attention to.”
And if the above statement is plausible, could it not become culturally institutionalized over time without intervention from Church Fathers or Biblical reference?
My opinion is that the tradition of women covering their heads is a beautiful act of humility on their part, started by the women of the church themselves.
But what do I know, like I said, just my humble opinion based on no formal theological studies what so ever.
This article pretty much nails the correct explanation of the first part of 1 Corinthians 11.
Until recent generations, women always wore hats, scarfs, or veils on their heads in church. Men always took off their hats in church, prayer, at funerals, etc.
But this is a minor issue when considering the lack of modesty that exists. This is mostly because congregations are largely untaught. But people treating church as a buffet where they go to get entertained and pick and choose what they want to hear (i.e. itching ears) is not conducive to learning either. In some cases women are intentionally being immodest to cause men to lust after them... IN CHURCH!
Head coverings for women are Biblical. But start with the basics. First, and foremost, Christian women are to dress modestly at all times. It is important to search the scriptures to learn what God considers modest.
Certainly dynamic, Christ-centered churches should make visitors feel welcomed and not ashamed for coming to seek God. They should not be made to feel that they do not measure up because of how they dress (or fail to dress). Some may be unbelievers. Some may be new believers. We should not expect an unbeliever or new believers to well-educated in the faith. They need to be taught patiently and encouraged to grow in faith and obedience. They need role-models who set the example for these things.
Christianity has strayed so far from the Biblical faith which was once delivered by the apostles, that it is almost unrecognizable from a Biblical perspective.
The modern church is woefully in danger of receiving the judgment of the Laodicean church which was unacceptable to Christ and seems to be a precursor for the apostate Christianity which will be aligned with the anti-Christ, committing the sin of Judas against true believers in Christ.
The modern church has come to be organized as a performance rather than a gathering of believers as is envisioned in the scriptures.
According to Acts 2, Church meetings are supposed to engage believers in Biblical teaching, fellowship between believers, breaking bread (i.e. the Lord’s Supper), and prayer. The purpose is not to be entertained by performers. Church is for believers. It is not the primary place where unbelievers should come to hear the Gospel. The believers are supposed to go to unbelievers with the Gospel.
