This was so useful- thanks for sharing. It's crazy how something that's in the bible and was a given, normal, and expected before the 1950s and 60s is now something that our community takes offence to, ridicules and discourages.
I am old enough (raised in the 50s) that I remember when women wore head coverings to Protestant churches. This is now resisted and reviled because it poses a huge threat to the predominant ideology and power of our era--Feminism. The head covering is a sign of the headship of men (husbands and fathers) over women (wives). This is a direct and frontal attack on Feminism. The head covering is powerfully resisted in churches. Why? The reason why is because Feminism is dominate in the modern church.
I grew up in the 50's and 60's, and we always wore hats or scarfs to prayer/church, and dressed in our Sunday best. Wonderful way to honour God and show respect to others and self. ❤
Some priests or pastors are not always agreeing in covering or skirts full time. I heard one priest say in a sermon that people are only trying to draw attention to themselves. I got up and left.
Thank you for this amazing video, my dear sister in Christ 🤍. I'm an orthodox Christian myself, and I always cover my hair in Church and while praying, but I've been thinking about covering full time... I feel really convicted about it but I'm afraid... 😐 Please pray for me
I am praying for you as well. It is a hard thing to do, but if you feel in your heart that you’re compelled to cover your hair more, you can do it!! I will keep you in my prayers. Sister in Christ, God be with you!
@@aerrowcat8027 thank you so much! Yes, I've been looking at head covering inspiration and Christian women who cover full time for a long time time. What's holding me back I think is fear that it's not that common for Christian women in our culture to cover up, and it's mostly associated with islam... And I know definitely that it will take a lot of explaining all the time. However, what we do, we should do for God in the first place. And people can always find something to criticize you for. I really hope God will help me in this ❤️
@@viktorijabogdanaite5167 I just saw this! I understand that as well. At first I started wearing things like bandanas and those types of things that don’t cover your hair all the way. As sort of a transition for family and the people I work with, and surprisingly I only got one question about it! My coworker just asked why I was covering my hair and I simply explained to her that we are told to in the Bible, and she was just fine with that! I now wear a head covering that covers all of my hair and no one really asks 🤍 I have even gotten compliments! I was humbled and surprised by the people around me in a good way, and was reminded that if I obey God, only good will come of it. God be with you my sister! ☦️
@@aerrowcat8027 thank you so much for sharing your story! It is definitely an inspiration! The most important thing is not to be embarrassed to show your faith. If I know that head covering is a good practice and in my heart I feel a desire to do this, I shouldn't be afraid of reaction of others or potential misunderstanding... Thank you ❤️
Thank you for this video. I am Catholic, and always cover my head at Mass, as do a lot of ladies in our Parrish. However, lately I feel the Lord calling me to covering full time!

@user-iz8np3vv4i Wrong. By that standard, men are to uncovering their head by shaving their head bald. Baldness is never a good thing in the Word, as it's a shame.
I love your video. I'm a born again Christian and through my relationship with God, I dress modesty in dresses and cover my head in and out of church because as a soldier of Christ am always ready incase I need to pray for someone. We will always suffer for being different and focusing on God instead of man. It's not a Muslim thing it's a true Christian thing too. The West has defaced honour and respect for God and for man. God bless you woman of God.
Thank you for acknowleging that it is well encorperated into christian beliefs and many will not admit that the practice was invented by Hebrews long before Islam was ever even created , thousands of years BC
Thank you so much for your videos. I was recently deeply convicted to begin practicing modesty (more than usual that is) and I just started head covering, both for obedience to Christ but also to humble myself of my pride and vanity about my long hair. My husband has been very supportive about it but there are others who haven't been. My husband's opinion is the only one that matters to me but they've been very vocal. They don't understand that it's part of my faith and obedience to God, not conforming to this world. The main thing has been separating myself from the world as all Christians need to do. Your channel has been a help to me and I was so happy to find it a few days ago as I was looking for more sisters who head cover. It's great to give one another encouragement and to stay strong in our walk. God Bless you, sister! :)
That's so beautiful that you are willing and trying. God sees our heart. And I understand your struggle. I've had people in my family make fun and say things to me, I find family to be the hardest criticism to take. But they get use to it, at least in my experience, I'm sure it's not like that for everyone. The path is hard sister, let us keep struggling towards the Kingdom together. ❤️ God bless you.
Women who are readopting the head covering are pioneers of a sort. There will be a few funny looks. But I have to wonder why that’s so hard when 😂there are men dressing as women in government. Y’know? I just started with a bandana or one of those stretchy gaiters.
My sister in Christ, I love your videos. I am getting baptized into the Orthodox next Saturday, and it has been hard for me to transition into dressing modestly. But I have chosen to wear a head covering at all times except in private now, and I am very humbled. It’s just a small sacrifice I choose to make for Christ. If I could be martyred and give up my life for Christ, then I can gladly dress how the Lord says I should for my sake and for others. 🤍 Let us help each other and keep fighting this fight. Lord have mercy on us all! Also I love your head coverings and scarves, where did you get them?
I have received this question a few times and will be making a video about it. Glory to God that you will be soon baptized! That is so exciting! And I understand the struggle but how beautiful it is that you are willing and trying. That's amazing to me. And I agree, we really do need to be eachothers support, community is so important. God bless you dear sister. ❤️
Thanks to your advice and others Christian women on CZcams, as well as being led by the Holy Spirit, I cover full time for the last two years (approx). I feel protected and even more blessed. Thank you for this video. Every blessing x❤
You are a wise sister in Christ. Ive been covering on and off the past few years and found much freedom in my journey transitioning into more full time covering. Ive received some criticism and resistance and lost friends (not necessarily over the headcovering but perhaps in conjunction with pursuing general modesty). Ive had to repent of a lot of pride in my past and the headcovering has been so eye opening at where my flesh has caused issues with marriage, children, daily thoughts and habits and helped me seek the Lord deeper. The works of David Bercot and Scroll Publishing on the history of the early church really opened my eyes to how serious Christians in the early centuries took modesty, separation from the world etc. God bless you sister your words are very encouraging and rare in this fallen world.

Thank you from Germany So good listening to you / i am in this process too , my Church is not in this opinion and it will be a lonely way for me. My husband supports me in my journey and therefore i am very thankfull. God bless you

Your videos are so encouraging. Thank you for this one especially…. I head cover also, and I understand the struggle. You are very encouraging. God bless you♥️
@righteousrebellion thank you for your wonder advice about keeping your eyes to yourself I pray I remember this and it. It will really help. Isn’t it interesting how Muslim women’s do not get criticised (as much ) for covering their heads. At my workplace no one stares at them for such. This is a very encouraging video and I want to do what God wants us to do. You are right is not easy.
Thank you for this video. This is sage wisdom and advice for general living as well. As a Roman Catholic, I am the only woman to veil in four of five parishes I may attend. I am on a journey convicted to wear head covering daily. Thank you for this.
I have always veiled at Mass, but in my area, it is very common. However, I am feeling convicted to wear a head covering daily now, which is virtually unheard of. I haven’t spoken to my husband about it yet. I pray that he will give me the green light. So far, he has been very supportive of my modestly journey. Like when I stopped wearing pants. I’m not insinuating that it is for everyone. I am very careful to tell women that everyone’s journey is different. Your journey is your own. I will pray for you. Thank you for having the courage to follow Christ, even when it’s not popular. I plan to talk to my husband tomorrow. He has been out of town, and I’ve ordered six scarf head coverings off of Etsy! I just love them. They are different than the Chapel Veils I’m used to wearing at Mass. So, I guess we will see what happens. Lol Peace be with you.:)
@@sharonbarker5751 my prayers for you as well. Wives are to be under the head of the home; both under the Lord; women are to cover their heads; we are to pray without ceasing. Also found Church Fathers wisdom. We will be 'signs which shall be contradicted'. Same journey for me with skirts, pants for hard work like firewood, etc. It became urgent to speak with my husband about head coverings, he expressed a specific concern but was ok. I showed him how I would wear the scarf he had bought me years ago. I bought some inexpensive oversized bandanas for around the house and informal trips, use his scarf and another for good outings, and a few Buffs to wear at night and trade off from the bandanas. Peace to you too. 🙏❤✝
How did you get over the possible fear of sticking out? I attend a parish where very few women veil too. I deeply love the practice and want to do this but I’m having trouble getting over the idea that I could potentially make a spectacle of myself or like I’m trying seem like “the most perfect pious convert.”
@@oldworldowl I did feel that, too, at first. Take comfort in the other women who veil. Story: about 2017/18 a woman began attending my parish, veiling and Traditional demeanor, such as kneeling most of the time,no sign of peace. I felt put off by her, thought what is she trying to convey about herself? Then in 2019 veiling was put on my heart, as well as learning more about Traditional Mass/Catholicism. That woman no longer attended the parish by this time. I had to confess this whole thing. There is a 16+/- minute video from Sensus Fidelium perfectly and pointedly explains veiling; women are symbols of Church as Bride within and without Church, symbol of obedience and Greek word for rebellion is apostasy, if we are not veiled we are unveiled and Greek derivative is Apocalypse. Veiling/head covered in Church was in Canon Law before VII. Today it is a woman's choice.I have never been asked about it but have received a few positive nostalgic comments. I'm sure I get the same thoughts I used to have, penance. A parish I attended with a few more women veiling I can't attend due to Mass abuses. It's how it has been put on your heart to show your love and obedience to the Lord,and worship Him, no one else. I am nobody, but I do humbly offer it when I think of it for the lack of reverence everywhere. Peace and prayers to you. 🙏♥️
I would like to encourage you to continue this heart building. This was done very well. I wanted to add that turning the other cheek was actually a sign of protecting your dignity not your pride lifting upon someone criticism of your self. It’s western culture that changed the meaning to think it’s pridefulness not to turn the other cheek. Culturally a Roman could only strike you on your right cheek backhanded with only his right hand as a Jew(or later on Christian’s). If it was done any other way it would be taken improper on the Roman and misconstrued as you not being his inferior. Turning your left cheek did not allow him to strike you the same way again. Your perspective on how to deal with the rising of pride is correct.
Hi! I subscribed to your channel and I am a head covering Christian as well. I've been covering for a little over 3 years and I went part-time with my covering about a year ago because my husband wanted to see more of my hair, but I am now cover my hair more full-time because of my Christian beliefs. I agree with you regarding keeping your eyes to yourself. When I go out if I'm with my husband or my children my eyes will be on them if I am talking with them and if I am not it is on the direction I am going and not on other people. I know when people are watching me.

Dear sister,I love your head covering I think it is a GOD given respect to women .obeying GOD ,you love GOD ,you are loyal to GOD and you delight GoD .
Thank you for your kindness. I'm sure there are many instances every day where God is not delighted in me. Everyday I struggle and everyday He pours out His grace on me, unworthy as I am. I'm grateful. 🙏 God bless you brother.
New subscriber I head cover on and off for the past 4 years I just started back head covering because I feel it’s the right and obedient to do when I look at women in the Bible all had head coverings and that is what really inspired me and with scripture! So now I’m back with head covering full time 💙🙏🏿
Women didn't use a fabric covering. The hair is the 'covering'. Reply if you want more scriptures/information. At least twice a woman's hair was not only visible to Jesus Himself, but it touched Him. Neither woman was rebuked. Since Jesus didn't care about fabric head coverings why should we? “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. You gave me no kiss, but from the time I came in she has not ceased to kiss my feet. You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment. Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven-for she loved much. -excerpt Luke 7 Mary then took a pound of very expensive perfume of pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped His feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

Therefore Jesus said, “Leave her alone... -excerpt John 12
Wow i started doing this, and it’s wild how much some Christians HATE it. I have never told anyone else what to do, but I’ve noticed women often feel the need to explain to me unprompted why they don’t, and pastors whose wives don’t cover hate it the most and will try to discourage women in the church from “religiosity.”
I covered for a while but got migraines as a result from knotting and wrapping scarves. I have found CZcams videos like yours and Facebook groups helpful in giving me ideas for other styles to wear. I live in a town where there is a large Muslim community. So no-one bats an eyelid if a woman wears a head scarf. So I'm not scared to cover it's more a case of finding a style wherein I'm conveying that I am a Christian rather than a Muslim.
what you said is true I struggle with head comvering in a uniquely Christian way, and I think hats are good at times, am more familiar iwth hats, and I am going to start to wear head scarves as well and will be going tomorrow to shop for a proper scarf, but hats are good. I have some I got out of storage, and growing my hair long is not a biggy because over half the women in our curch have long hair so thats not a problem, its the head covering that is going to be a little strange. 🙂
It is so impressive that not a single human being has hit dislike to your video. I think it's indicative of the high quality of your content. Be safe sister ♥️
It's this: whatever religion you are, it is a universal command in 1 Corinthians to wear a sign of authority on our heads. Written physically by Paul, ultimately by God in God's Word. We are women. Under our husbands, under God. We've gotten so far away from this command. We need to cover during corporate worship in the very least.
The 'covering' is the hair itself. I post (with scriptures) on this matter a lot. Does even nature itself not 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 as a covering. -NASB version
"If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off; and if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, she should cover her head. A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man." 1 Corinthians 11. Please don't twist scripture.
Why would the Bible say that we as women should shave our heads if we don't cover it? We are called to live our lives in modesty, not wearing our hair out in fancy hairstyles (which the Bible also talks about).
@@user-iz8np3vv4i It says it is shameful for a woman to pray and prophesy with her head uncovered. I don’t know a woman in this world who can remove her hair and put it back on to pray and prophesy. Also, check the use of the Greek word for veil/head covering used by Paul in the text. He is referring to a fabric or cloth that can be removed, not hair. The scripture is very very clear. Paul gave the example of hair from a natural perspective for people who did not understand the spiritual concept he was teaching.
@@92spice18 I can paste up a essay by someone named FA that addresses all this. That's up to you. He/she looks at Corinthians only. My thoughts are below: Every man who has something on his head while praying or prophesying disgraces his head. -NASB version If the above scripture means a turban, for example, why would God require the priests to wear turbans? Paul certainly would have known about this and maybe seen it. You shall speak to all the skillful people whom I have endowed with the spirit of wisdom, that they make Aaron’s garments to consecrate him, that he may serve as priest to Me. And these are the garments which they shall make: a breastpiece, an ephod, a robe, a tunic of checkered work, a turban, and a sash. They shall make holy garments for your brother Aaron and his sons, so that he may serve as priest to Me. -excerpt Exodus 28 Jesus prayed with something on His head while on the cross. A crown of thorns. And they dressed Him in purple, and after twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on Him; and they began saluting Him: “Hail, King of the Jews!” -excerpt Mark 15 And Jesus, crying out with a loud voice, said, “Father, into Your hands I entrust My spirit.” And having said this, He died. -excerpt Luke 23 ******************************************* At least twice a woman's hair was not only visible to Jesus Himself, but it touched Him.

For her hair is given to her as a covering. ********************************************************* doth not even nature itself teach you, that if a man indeed have long hair, a dishonour it is to him? and a woman, if she have long hair, a glory it is to her, because the hair instead of a covering hath been given to her; ... -Young's Literal Translation (YLT) 1 Corinthians 11 verse 13-15 ************ No Old Covenant law requiring women to wear a fabric covering. Therefore no Old Testament reference available. 1 Corinthians 11 starts with this: ...hold firmly to the traditions, just as I handed them down to you... Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ. Now I praise you because you remember me in everything and hold firmly to the traditions, just as I handed them down to you. But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ. Every man who has something on his head while praying or prophesying disgraces his head. But every woman who has her head uncovered... So, there was no Old Covenant law requiring women to wear a fabric covering. There was no time to establish a tradition of a fabric covering. There was no way to "hold firmly to the traditions" because you can't start a 'tradition' in a period of time that is just a few years. ************ If the covering was a physical covering, then hair length is irrelevant. No one would know if the woman had long hair or no hair. ************ Also, if a woman needs to touch and pick up something physical, before she can communicate with God, that would make the fabric covering an idol. But one could also say it was a talisman I suppose, since a talisman could be an article of clothing. Talisman (basic definition)- a piece of clothing (or other physical object) that is believed to have spiritual or magical properties. The object will align with your intention for its use. Every time you look at a talisman, your mind will recall the original intention of its use, until wearing it becomes a necessary ritual. ************ There is also an essay by 'FA'. It's about a 5 minute read. The full essay is available if requested. Once again one must keep in mind when reading the essay, that women were not using a fabric covering as a requirement of the Law. So it was not part of the culture then. That is confirmed by the events of Jesus with the 2 women above and also the scriptures that discourage women from braiding their hair. If women were commonly wearing a head covering in public no one would have known about this braiding. Their head and hair would have been covered by the fabric. ...likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire,... -excerpt 1 Timothy 2 ESV Do not let your adorning be external-the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear- but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart... -excerpt 1 Peter 3 ESV Excerpt here of post by FA: If these verses do not move you yet then here’s one that should definitely blow your mind. Paul asks you to make a judgment call in verse 13 as if one should naturally see a problem because he asks you to: "Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered? " If “covering” really meant a veil then one would have to explain why anyone would possibly come up with a judgment that a woman praying or prophesying WITHOUT A FABRIC VEIL ON THEIR HEAD WOULD LOGICALLY OR NATURALLY LOOK WRONG? Someone needs to explain this logically. Be honest, does looking at someone doing this naturally create a thought that a veil is missing?
“Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;” Colossians 3:12 O gladsome light, pure brightness of the everliving Father in heaven, O Jesus Christ, holy and blessed! Now as we come to the setting of the sun, and our eyes behold the vesper light, we sing your praises, O God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. You are worthy at all times to be praised by happy voices, O Son of God, O Giver of Life, and to be glorified through all the worlds. Amen.
I don’t wear head coverings but I do dress modestly. I catch myself judging someone who is not modest (most women are showing way too much in my opinion) I will get a nice compliment on my skirt or dress at a store. It just happened yesterday. I am pleasant to everyone and always wear a cheerful smile.
You have encouraged me with this video. I have been experiencing a lot of persecution for wearing a head covering in the churches. But this message has been so encouraging to me. Thank you sister 💖
Thankyou! For this video i feel relieved to know im not the only dealing with this, just like you im very sensitive, intuitive, but very anxious, ive got my own inward struggles and then when ppl hurt me, and treat me unjustly it hurts even more because of unhealed past hurts, and im in my own healing process inwardly, but unfortunately the enemy knows how to get to me, and certain ppl i truly believe were sent from the devil to destroy my peace in my own process of healing after 3 years!!! After 3 years i start to finally heal, and yet the devil sends ppl to destroy my peace in the midst of my healing process!!!! Im constantly praying to God for healing and protection!!! And i truly believe that God will protect me until it is my time to die!! Its scary, but i still need Gods protection, and peace! I pray everyday Lord when it is time for me to come home, it will be on your time, protect me until then!🙏 thankyou this video made me feel better!!!) You speak very well!!!
I just started listening to this video. I am also sensitive to criticism, but have been head covering for nearly 3 years. I have not experienced much, if any negative criticism so far. In fact, I've noticed that strangers in public show way more respect towards me than before I covered...which really humbles me and makes me more aware of how I behave towards others. It has also opened up conversation on at least 2 occasions, in which I was able to share my testimony on what brought me to start covering. In fact, one of my husband's friends wife asked me if I would make one for her, as I crochet my own head scarves. . I am typically shy about sharing the Gospel, (not because of shame of Jesus, but because of fear of criticism...sad but true). But this simple garment over my head exposes me to more opportunities to share the Gospel. I will not stop covering now that I've started. The conviction God placed on my heart is too strong to ignore it. I am in no way a good example of a follower of Christ. I just pray every day for God's forgiveness and ask Him to help me to be more like Christ. I love what you're saying about criticism. I really need to hear it. This is really blessing me. Thank you.
Thank you for you video 😢is very sad how the church help , encourage to lost the Respect and dignity of the bride of Christ and some women still supporting that modern ideas 😔☹️
What you're saying is right. And good food for thought. I've often thought of the same. There are a lot of broken ppl out there. Including me. Thus making it more difficult to accept the criticism. And to not take it personal. Because it is, in essence a personal attack against whomever is the subject of the criticism. It is a catch 22. Wish we lived in a perfect world. But we do not. You're a wise young woman. I think you're doing exactly what you need to for you. I believe in the head coverings but have not worn them because no one else at my church does and I wanted to avoid the problems you're speaking of and not draw attention to myself by doing so. But at age 65 now I feel it's time to do what I feel us right and not worry about the rest and if I get criticized then pray that I'm able to respond in a Hodly way so as to please the Lord. ❤ love and blessings.
I found this very comforting to know that their are other Christian women besides me who want to cover their heads for Christ. I am a Roman Catholic and have been veiling in Church for a while but much to my parents dislike. They believe veils are only for Muslims. What do you think I should do?

It is a struggle. I have been tempted to not wear it...but I keep my head covered. A lot of people see me as Muslim. My co workers talk about me and the men ask questions. It is mainly the women.
Thank you for your videos. I have been struggling with ceiling and persecution from family and people I've worked with. You have inspired me to keep my eyes to myself and being obedient to Christ.
5:40 Bravo!! 🥰🙏🙏🙏words from Church of the martyrs (feminin): Your little lamb, Jesus,............ cries out with a great voice: I love you, my Bridegroom, and in seeking you I torment myself, and together I crucify myself, and together I bury myself with your Baptism; and I suffer for you, to reign in you; and I die for you, to live for you; but as a blameless sacrifice, receive me that which with love I sacrifice to you. For her prayers, as a merciful, she saves our souls.
Im an Apostolic Pentecostal. We believe hair serves as the covering but i recently got super interested in wearing an actual covering. All the women in my church have been supportive so far which has been helpful, but Today i was rejected by a few people i was attempting to invite to VBS because they saw the head covering and assumed my identity. On one hand it helps me to hold more compassion for what Muslim women face, because i was being judged as one without even identifying as one. On another note it broke my heart, to see how hardened other people's hearts are. But it reminded me, Jesus himself was rejected and persecuted.

@@user-iz8np3vv4ithat’s a very recent and very Western reading of the text. Historically, women have worn head coverings in general life and especially during worship ever since the Bible was written until the last century.
God bless you for your firm faith in our saviour! Thanks for this great video! 7 Reasons for head covering So the very first reason for head coverings is because of the created order. This is the foundation that Paul said “I want you to understand” (1 Cor 11:3a). This is not a cultural argument, but a transcendent argument as the Fathers headship is eternal and unchanging. Because the ordinance of head covering is for certain times (v4-6), demonstrating a removable covering. (v6) It was to be worn during certain times (prayer and prophecy, or worship). This is not possible with hair. A man (men were instructed not to cover their heads) cannot remove his hair then put it back on when praying is done! “If a wife (woman) will not” demonstrates the covering was removable. Because a woman’s hair (length according to the individual) is for her glory. (v15) Part of the purpose of the head covering is to veil this glory, not showcase it. Individual glory is the LAST thing any should want in the Presence of God! Because this creates quite a quandary for women who cannot grow “long hair.” Think of Alopecia or many African women etc. Can they still pray and prophesy in certain settings? Regardless of hair length though, a covering can still be worn. Because of the way verse six would read if we substituted “hair” or “long hair:” “If a wife (woman) will not [have long hair], let her cut her hair short…” Huh? She would already have done that! The whole point of that verse is to show the shame of her not covering. Because it would be very odd if her symbol of authority in the presence of angels (v10) was one that gave her glory (v15), since the biblical testimony of angelic worship is not glory for angels, but angels showing humility and covering themselves. (Isa 6:1-3) Because the Church agreed with the simplicity and power of this teaching for 1950 years, from the time of Apostles (v16) through the mid-Twentieth Century (1950-60s). We only began to disobey these precepts on a large scale when feminism hit the West like a tidal wave.
My mum got very upset at me for going out like that so I’m gonna do a Jewish and head covering styles that involve a bun. Though hijabs honestly look move orthodox.
this comment is interesting . I saw old photos of Christian Jewish and Muslim women in the Middle East. They are all dressed very much how religious Muslim women dress today . Some of them even had face veils on exactly like Muslim women today . Honestly if I saw the above woman outside I’d assume she was either Sikh Hindu, Romanian or Muslim . Christian no unless her crucifix was on show. Because the hair is showing our front I would also Assume it was “cultural dress “ rather than religious . Because culturallly across all indopak countries regardless of religion the scarf is worn as above . Sometimes it’s a square scarf as Italian old women wear in the villages . I’m a Muslim woman I cover fully . Think long black loose dress and headscarf. And I veil the face also I would say the associations to other religions shouldn’t matter . You know who you are covering for. People will use such arguments to deter you . If it’s not this argument others like “I’m afraid someone will attack you for looking like a Muslim “. Muslim parents say this to their kids today , sad but true If it’s not there will be other arguments to deter you “ how will you get married “. “How will you get a job “. So many deterrents . You need to keep in mind you are doing this to please your Creator no other reason
I honestly can't believe it. Not only are women abandoning a beautiful tradition based off scripture and emulating the Theotokos, but they are even encouraging other women to do the same and shaming those who don't follow. Lord have mercy. May this feminist secular wave pass and may the head coverings return for all women in the church and not only the church, but even during prayers and everyday living.
I stopped veiling because I felt insecure and got distracted and tired, I'm planning of going back to veiling. Its the right thing to do. I hate getting accused of being Muslim or wanna be. I often try styles that were non Muslim. I gotta refocus. I got the devil in the way. When I stopped veiling I felt more exposed and vulnerable it hasn't been so long since I veiled which is a push from God to cover up again
Thanks for your video sist, i want to do that, but my husband say it's akward, and he say it's only some ald tradition that we don't have to do anymore, because Jesus already die for all that, that we may free. But in this day, i really feel that God want me to do it, since i have been pray to have His approval for my live, though prayer and fasting. Do you any advise for me🙏🏻

Start with a headband. Something modern. Get different ones to go with outfits. Do it for a year. God knows your heart! Let your husband know your just testing things out. I wear bandanas full time and circle veils on Sundays. :)Tell him it is good to veil because he will not have to worry on guys 'hitting ' on you! haha!
I wanna start wearing one I just don’t know if I’m too young, or if my parents will shut down the entire idea my father is catholic and my mother is non denomination Christian I honestly need guidance on this topic what should I do and how should I bring up the idea of wearing one ? ❤ 🙏
Those trying to bring shame to those covering their heads are to suppress anything that will make others see that the head covers are beautiful and nothing wrong with them.
@@righteousrebellion90 yes for a long time. We go to an Antiochian Orthodox Church. I asked him for his blessing and he said that I should do what the majority do at church and was specific when he said the majority at our church don’t wear them so I shouldn’t but if I visit a church that does then I should too. We have a Serbian Orthodox Church 3 hours away in KC where everyone wears them and we will be visiting but can’t afford to go but maybe once a month.
@@Livingtabitha Wow, I'm very surprised by this, but I'm sure he has his reasons. I personally would listen to him though for as long as he is my priest.
@@righteousrebellion90 I am but at the same time I don’t want to. Feeling rebellious 😂😜 there’s like 2 people who wear them. They probably didn’t ask for a blessing or they don’t care. I’m also a catechumen so idk. We have a Cathedral here too and they are the same way. Only a few wear them but the overwhelming majority doesn’t. Someone told me it’s because of the Muslims and not wanting to look like them and I said that’s ridiculous. We worship the same Abrahamic God and if we are to love everyone then why would it matter? I don’t care if someone thinks I look Muslim or anything else. Anyways, I hope your day is going well.
@@Livingtabitha I understand. I have actually stopped wearing my head covering except for at church and prayer at home, because my husband prefers me without it. And my priest says that through serving my husband, I serve God. So as much as it pained me I took it off. We always want to do what we want to do, and being rebellious is usually a bad idea...unless you are being rebellious towards the devil, which is the only rebelliousness I endorse. Lol...please take my advice dear sister, listen to your priest while he is your priest, otherwise why would you even be in a church where you don't respect your spiritual father? Why ask for the blessing if you aren't going to listen to what he says regardless if you like it or not? I have asked my priest to bless my CZcams channel for me to continue making videos, he said he will not give me the blessing until MAYBE after my baptism...it isn't what I wanted to hear but I respect it and so I haven't made a video in a long time waiting for the blessing, and if I never get it then so be it. The whole point of our priest is to guide us and perhaps he sees something that you don't. If I were you I would listen, and only cover during prayer at home. But it's your decision. God bless you my dear, Christ has risen!
if covering her head helps a woman enjoyn the presence of the holy trinity in her heart and life, i'm all for it! outside of that, yeah, not so much ;-) xo
I just want to know what God in Abrahamic religions has against women's hair. Strange since he made it. If he thought people shouldn't see our hair, he would have made us with a built in hat on top of our head to cover it, or perhaps just made us bald.
Very nice Video🙏 Iam Orthodox too. Kann i ask you something? Have you Headcovering always? Not only in the Church? Because Apostel Paul sais that Women schould wear Headcovering only in the Church, in the Lyturgi. Not all the time 🙂
i get a lot of slander about my hats Jesus designed some fun hats for me to wear the bonnets since He made me the high priest. so not good to slander the priest im sure. but they do
i was an ordinary young lady i go to the church Wearing Hijab When I'm about to receive the holy Eucharist The priest Say something to me I did not heard it clearly That priest is already my friend Because I'm an altar server The reason I wear Hijab because my white Catholic veil is in the laundry
Can you tell me what orthodox church. I've been looking for there churches where I live. I see Greek and other names of churches. I want to go to the right one one. Thank you
they're all the same 😂❤ Eastern Orthodox churches have the same doctrine and theology, different canon of saints, according to region. Russians will have some saints that Greeks and Serbs or Bulgarians don't and vice versa, but they all have in common the most prominent saints. Keep in mind that there are also Oriental Orthodox churches, like Egyptian Coptic. They have a slightly different doctrine than the Eastern one and there was a whole schism in the past because of their understanding of the person of Christ Lord. Look for a couple, visit, have a discussion with the priests there, and take time to take it all in.
I love would too marry someone that wear veil all the time,and l'am not married too . {Anyone? Who veils? Wanted to be married}I also love women veiling too I look up to these woman as child and now as adult...Thanks for veiling... I heard religious people say what's that they know better and make make excuses. It's our little secret .
It's not easy, because it's not culturally accepted everywhere. And so many women have the struggle of thier husbands not allowing them to cover and thier family shaming them for covering. I talk to these kinds of women all the time...many people will criticize you. I've experienced it all myself aswell.

You mentioned that you struggle with criticism about head covering which seems odd because I do not hear of such things perhaps it exists more in your area. Interesting that you mention that you feel intuitively that just by looking you can tell you are being criticized even if the person was silent. With this bit of information is it not possible that you may be reading more into their look? I say this to avoid creating certain feelings due to personal perception. Though there is nothing innately wrong with wearing a head covering as long as it is due to personal preference than something deemed obligatory and dogmatic. I hope God helps you with any struggles and that you seek him to understand his word.
I live in the country and I get people that shun me because they think I am Muslim. It is very much a real thing to get dirty looks or rudeness while covering. Sad, but true.

Sunny Day@ Be smart and be christian. Women in Islam suffer from poligany both on earth and in heaven. In muslim heaven a muslim man will definitely have more than one wives and will be busy with them,,,but what about muslimah ( Muslim women ) ???
@@pellesvansl I think you have a misconception of me. Nothing here is about me. It's about God. It doesn't matter if people respect me, like me, follow me, don't follow me, speak bad about me, speak good about me. I doesn't matter. I'm simply sharing my experience as I walk this life to the best of my ability in the way of Christ. I'm not perfect, I don't deserve anything, I don't expect anything. I'm simply trying my best to do God's will in my life. I'm a Christian, I love Jesus Christ my Lord and my Savior, who is the second person of the Trinity. Father Son and Holy Spirit. Peace be to you.
Why should a Christian whose spiritual identity is essentially not a matter for public performance, unlike the habitus of moslems and Jews who call themselves pious (Haredi)? Headcovering in the Semitic and Graeco-Roman world view of the ancient world was a solution for a problem we don’t believe exists, because the hair of a woman is not considered the female equivalent of male testicles as they used to think. Perhaps modern moslems and Jews still think this way, but Christians don’t. So dressing like XIX c. Russian peasants doesn’t make any sense. It doesn’t bring anyone closer to God, amd prayers uttered by women with uncovered hair are heard because there is no shame praying uncovered (equivalent for the ancients to praying nude).
It is biblical. And it actually can very much so bring you closer to God, as it can teach you both humility and modesty. Two attributes that God loves.
@@righteousrebellion90 lots of things can effect or inhibit religious progress but pharisaical vaunting of piety is not one of them. We do not live in the Roman world where the best science said hair is hollow and creates a vacuum attracting male seminal fluid. Again, maybe moslems and Jews think this way, but no modern Christian does. Unveiled women are not suctioning the semen of Asael, Satanael and the fallen angels these days.
I don't even think you understand why Christian women cover their heads....forget understanding, you don't even know. Nowhere in 1 Corinthians 11 did it mention that the hair is equivalent to a man's testicles. We do not veil for the same reasons as Muslims and Jews. The motive behind it is to show humility to God and serve as a reminder of the bridal relationship between Christ andd the chruch. We veil for God and not men
@@ruhama02 of course I do not know what you feel about your own hair and covering it in church, nor do I want to as it’s a personal matter entirely. St. Paul writes in a very terse manner admonishing women who might show it in the first century Mediterranean world. The act of showing your hair had a totally different meaning then than it does now. Your own ignorance of what underlies St. Pauli’s terse saying, its background in first century ‘science’ and the Semitic mythology regarding Watchers being naturally attracted to women’s hair is no excuse for your own incomprehension of the topic. You could do a little research, go to the library and look up some texts on interlibrary loan if you are curious. Hair covering seems a very emotional issue to you; it should not be. The Bride of Christ is no woman in church (perish the thought!) but the whole Church. Humility doesn’t require any particular manner of women’s dress except that it’s modest. You are applying antique Semitic notions to church life that have absolutely no meaning outside your sentiments.
@@claesvanoldenphatt9972 Not to be rude but are you sure you even read what I wrote??. I never said the bride of the church is any woman, veil/head-covering serves as a reminder of the bridal relationship between the Christ and the Church, not the woman herself. Another thing, you're talking about Mediterranean societal norms which I agree, is entirely different from today's society but 1 Corinthians 11 is not about societal norms but religious norms. I gave you the religious reasons for covering the hair not the societal ones. If humility does not require any manner of dress except that it is modest, why are you so against head covering
When I was a child women always wore a head covering in church.
This was so useful- thanks for sharing. It's crazy how something that's in the bible and was a given, normal, and expected before the 1950s and 60s is now something that our community takes offence to, ridicules and discourages.
I am old enough (raised in the 50s) that I remember when women wore head coverings to Protestant churches. This is now resisted and reviled because it poses a huge threat to the predominant ideology and power of our era--Feminism. The head covering is a sign of the headship of men (husbands and fathers) over women (wives). This is a direct and frontal attack on Feminism. The head covering is powerfully resisted in churches. Why? The reason why is because Feminism is dominate in the modern church.
Good will be called evil, and evil will be called good
I grew up in the 50's and 60's, and we always wore hats or scarfs to prayer/church, and dressed in our Sunday best. Wonderful way to honour God and show respect to others and self. ❤
Some priests or pastors are not always agreeing in covering or skirts full time. I heard one priest say in a sermon that people are only trying to draw attention to themselves. I got up and left.
Thank you for this amazing video, my dear sister in Christ 🤍. I'm an orthodox Christian myself, and I always cover my hair in Church and while praying, but I've been thinking about covering full time... I feel really convicted about it but I'm afraid... 😐 Please pray for me
I understand sister, and I will surely pray for you. It's so beautiful that you cover for church and for prayer. God bless you. ❤️
I am praying for you as well. It is a hard thing to do, but if you feel in your heart that you’re compelled to cover your hair more, you can do it!! I will keep you in my prayers. Sister in Christ, God be with you!
@@aerrowcat8027 thank you so much! Yes, I've been looking at head covering inspiration and Christian women who cover full time for a long time time. What's holding me back I think is fear that it's not that common for Christian women in our culture to cover up, and it's mostly associated with islam... And I know definitely that it will take a lot of explaining all the time. However, what we do, we should do for God in the first place. And people can always find something to criticize you for. I really hope God will help me in this ❤️
@@viktorijabogdanaite5167 I just saw this! I understand that as well. At first I started wearing things like bandanas and those types of things that don’t cover your hair all the way. As sort of a transition for family and the people I work with, and surprisingly I only got one question about it! My coworker just asked why I was covering my hair and I simply explained to her that we are told to in the Bible, and she was just fine with that! I now wear a head covering that covers all of my hair and no one really asks 🤍 I have even gotten compliments! I was humbled and surprised by the people around me in a good way, and was reminded that if I obey God, only good will come of it. God be with you my sister! ☦️
@@aerrowcat8027 thank you so much for sharing your story! It is definitely an inspiration! The most important thing is not to be embarrassed to show your faith. If I know that head covering is a good practice and in my heart I feel a desire to do this, I shouldn't be afraid of reaction of others or potential misunderstanding... Thank you ❤️
Even as a Christian male, I have taken much from this video. Especially at times when I can feel my pride rising up. Thanks and God bless.
You would die for Christ, others can't even stand up to defend their Christian faith in a conversation…
Thank you for this video. I am Catholic, and always cover my head at Mass, as do a lot of ladies in our Parrish. However, lately I feel the Lord calling me to covering full time!

Good on you! Because that’s what the Lord wants ! The bible is clear about that in the epistle to the Corinthians
@user-iz8np3vv4i Wrong. By that standard, men are to uncovering their head by shaving their head bald. Baldness is never a good thing in the Word, as it's a shame.
I love your video. I'm a born again Christian and through my relationship with God, I dress modesty in dresses and cover my head in and out of church because as a soldier of Christ am always ready incase I need to pray for someone. We will always suffer for being different and focusing on God instead of man. It's not a Muslim thing it's a true Christian thing too. The West has defaced honour and respect for God and for man. God bless you woman of God.
Thank you for acknowleging that it is well encorperated into christian beliefs and many will not admit that the practice was invented by Hebrews long before Islam was ever even created , thousands of years BC
@@ParisBityahYHWH true.
This helped me so much! I wear a headscarf since two Days and already People critizised and one Person even screamed at me.
Greek Orthodox catechumen here. It’s such a breath of fresh air to see head coverings in church
Im very sensitive to criticism but this message really touch me in a good way
Thank you so much for your videos. I was recently deeply convicted to begin practicing modesty (more than usual that is) and I just started head covering, both for obedience to Christ but also to humble myself of my pride and vanity about my long hair. My husband has been very supportive about it but there are others who haven't been. My husband's opinion is the only one that matters to me but they've been very vocal. They don't understand that it's part of my faith and obedience to God, not conforming to this world. The main thing has been separating myself from the world as all Christians need to do. Your channel has been a help to me and I was so happy to find it a few days ago as I was looking for more sisters who head cover. It's great to give one another encouragement and to stay strong in our walk. God Bless you, sister! :)
That's so beautiful that you are willing and trying. God sees our heart. And I understand your struggle. I've had people in my family make fun and say things to me, I find family to be the hardest criticism to take. But they get use to it, at least in my experience, I'm sure it's not like that for everyone. The path is hard sister, let us keep struggling towards the Kingdom together. ❤️ God bless you.
Women who are readopting the head covering are pioneers of a sort. There will be a few funny looks. But I have to wonder why that’s so hard when 😂there are men dressing as women in government. Y’know? I just started with a bandana or one of those stretchy gaiters.
You are great example for all the women, God loves you. I would love my wife to follow your example.
God bless you. Thank you for your kindness.
My sister in Christ, I love your videos. I am getting baptized into the Orthodox next Saturday, and it has been hard for me to transition into dressing modestly. But I have chosen to wear a head covering at all times except in private now, and I am very humbled. It’s just a small sacrifice I choose to make for Christ. If I could be martyred and give up my life for Christ, then I can gladly dress how the Lord says I should for my sake and for others. 🤍 Let us help each other and keep fighting this fight. Lord have mercy on us all!
Also I love your head coverings and scarves, where did you get them?
I have received this question a few times and will be making a video about it.
Glory to God that you will be soon baptized! That is so exciting! And I understand the struggle but how beautiful it is that you are willing and trying. That's amazing to me.
And I agree, we really do need to be eachothers support, community is so important.
God bless you dear sister. ❤️
Thanks to your advice and others Christian women on CZcams, as well as being led by the Holy Spirit, I cover full time for the last two years (approx). I feel protected and even more blessed. Thank you for this video. Every blessing x❤
You are a wise sister in Christ. Ive been covering on and off the past few years and found much freedom in my journey transitioning into more full time covering. Ive received some criticism and resistance and lost friends (not necessarily over the headcovering but perhaps in conjunction with pursuing general modesty). Ive had to repent of a lot of pride in my past and the headcovering has been so eye opening at where my flesh has caused issues with marriage, children, daily thoughts and habits and helped me seek the Lord deeper. The works of David Bercot and Scroll Publishing on the history of the early church really opened my eyes to how serious Christians in the early centuries took modesty, separation from the world etc. God bless you sister your words are very encouraging and rare in this fallen world.

Ah, a fellow German!
Your videos are so encouraging. Thank you for this one especially…. I head cover also, and I understand the struggle. You are very encouraging. God bless you♥️
Thank you for your kind words. And how beautiful that you head cover, Glory to God! And may He bless you aswell. ❤️
@righteousrebellion thank you for your wonder advice about keeping your eyes to yourself I pray I remember this and it. It will really help. Isn’t it interesting how Muslim women’s do not get criticised (as much ) for covering their heads. At my workplace no one stares at them for such. This is a very encouraging video and I want to do what God wants us to do. You are right is not easy.
Thank you for this video. This is sage wisdom and advice for general living as well. As a Roman Catholic, I am the only woman to veil in four of five parishes I may attend. I am on a journey convicted to wear head covering daily. Thank you for this.
I have always veiled at Mass, but in my area, it is very common. However, I am feeling convicted to wear a head covering daily now, which is virtually unheard of. I haven’t spoken to my husband about it yet. I pray that he will give me the green light. So far, he has been very supportive of my modestly journey. Like when I stopped wearing pants. I’m not insinuating that it is for everyone. I am very careful to tell women that everyone’s journey is different. Your journey is your own. I will pray for you. Thank you for having the courage to follow Christ, even when it’s not popular. I plan to talk to my husband tomorrow. He has been out of town, and I’ve ordered six scarf head coverings off of Etsy! I just love them. They are different than the Chapel Veils I’m used to wearing at Mass. So, I guess we will see what happens. Lol Peace be with you.:)
@@sharonbarker5751 my prayers for you as well. Wives are to be under the head of the home; both under the Lord; women are to cover their heads; we are to pray without ceasing. Also found Church Fathers wisdom. We will be 'signs which shall be contradicted'. Same journey for me with skirts, pants for hard work like firewood, etc. It became urgent to speak with my husband about head coverings, he expressed a specific concern but was ok. I showed him how I would wear the scarf he had bought me years ago. I bought some inexpensive oversized bandanas for around the house and informal trips, use his scarf and another for good outings, and a few Buffs to wear at night and trade off from the bandanas. Peace to you too. 🙏❤✝
@@marycomstock5793 very well said. And thank you for your prayers:)
How did you get over the possible fear of sticking out? I attend a parish where very few women veil too. I deeply love the practice and want to do this but I’m having trouble getting over the idea that I could potentially make a spectacle of myself or like I’m trying seem like “the most perfect pious convert.”
@@oldworldowl I did feel that, too, at first. Take comfort in the other women who veil. Story: about 2017/18 a woman began attending my parish, veiling and Traditional demeanor, such as kneeling most of the time,no sign of peace. I felt put off by her, thought what is she trying to convey about herself? Then in 2019 veiling was put on my heart, as well as learning more about Traditional Mass/Catholicism. That woman no longer attended the parish by this time. I had to confess this whole thing. There is a 16+/- minute video from Sensus Fidelium perfectly and pointedly explains veiling; women are symbols of Church as Bride within and without Church, symbol of obedience and Greek word for rebellion is apostasy, if we are not veiled we are unveiled and Greek derivative is Apocalypse. Veiling/head covered in Church was in Canon Law before VII. Today it is a woman's choice.I have never been asked about it but have received a few positive nostalgic comments. I'm sure I get the same thoughts I used to have, penance. A parish I attended with a few more women veiling I can't attend due to Mass abuses. It's how it has been put on your heart to show your love and obedience to the Lord,and worship Him, no one else. I am nobody, but I do humbly offer it when I think of it for the lack of reverence everywhere. Peace and prayers to you. 🙏♥️
I would like to encourage you to continue this heart building. This was done very well.
I wanted to add that turning the other cheek was actually a sign of protecting your dignity not your pride lifting upon someone criticism of your self. It’s western culture that changed the meaning to think it’s pridefulness not to turn the other cheek. Culturally a Roman could only strike you on your right cheek backhanded with only his right hand as a Jew(or later on Christian’s). If it was done any other way it would be taken improper on the Roman and misconstrued as you not being his inferior. Turning your left cheek did not allow him to strike you the same way again.
Your perspective on how to deal with the rising of pride is correct.
This message is for me thank you sister for sharing 😭 😭 😭
Hi! I subscribed to your channel and I am a head covering Christian as well. I've been covering for a little over 3 years and I went part-time with my covering about a year ago because my husband wanted to see more of my hair, but I am now cover my hair more full-time because of my Christian beliefs.
I agree with you regarding keeping your eyes to yourself. When I go out if I'm with my husband or my children my eyes will be on them if I am talking with them and if I am not it is on the direction I am going and not on other people. I know when people are watching me.

Dear sister,I love your head covering I think it is a GOD given respect to women .obeying GOD ,you love GOD ,you are loyal to GOD and you delight GoD .
Thank you for your kindness. I'm sure there are many instances every day where God is not delighted in me. Everyday I struggle and everyday He pours out His grace on me, unworthy as I am. I'm grateful. 🙏 God bless you brother.
I hope you do more of these feminine type of videos. God Bless you.
New subscriber I head cover on and off for the past 4 years I just started back head covering because I feel it’s the right and obedient to do when I look at women in the Bible all had head coverings and that is what really inspired me and with scripture! So now I’m back with head covering full time 💙🙏🏿
Women didn't use a fabric covering. The hair is the 'covering'.
Reply if you want more scriptures/information.
At least twice a woman's hair was not only visible to Jesus Himself, but it touched Him. Neither woman was rebuked. Since Jesus didn't care about fabric head coverings why should we?
“Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. You gave me no kiss, but from the time I came in she has not ceased to kiss my feet. You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment. Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven-for she loved much.
-excerpt Luke 7
Mary then took a pound of very expensive perfume of pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped His feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. But Judas Iscariot, one of His disciples, the one who intended to betray Him, said, “Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred denarii and the proceeds given to poor people?” Now he said this, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief, and as he kept the money box, he used to steal from what was put into it. Therefore Jesus said, “Leave her alone...

Wow i started doing this, and it’s wild how much some Christians HATE it. I have never told anyone else what to do, but I’ve noticed women often feel the need to explain to me unprompted why they don’t, and pastors whose wives don’t cover hate it the most and will try to discourage women in the church from “religiosity.”
I covered for a while but got migraines as a result from knotting and wrapping scarves. I have found CZcams videos like yours and Facebook groups helpful in giving me ideas for other styles to wear. I live in a town where there is a large Muslim community. So no-one bats an eyelid if a woman wears a head scarf. So I'm not scared to cover it's more a case of finding a style wherein I'm conveying that I am a Christian rather than a Muslim.
what you said is true I struggle with head comvering in a uniquely Christian way, and I think hats are good at times, am more familiar iwth hats, and I am going to start to wear head scarves as well and will be going tomorrow to shop for a proper scarf, but hats are good.
I have some I got out of storage, and growing my hair long is not a biggy because over half the women in our curch have long hair so thats not a problem, its the head covering that is going to be a little strange. 🙂
Thanks and God bless you for the video 📖✝️🕊️
Thank you, God bless you aswell.
It is so impressive that not a single human being has hit dislike to your video. I think it's indicative of the high quality of your content. Be safe sister ♥️
It's this: whatever religion you are, it is a universal command in 1 Corinthians to wear a sign of authority on our heads. Written physically by Paul, ultimately by God in God's Word. We are women. Under our husbands, under God. We've gotten so far away from this command. We need to cover during corporate worship in the very least.
The 'covering' is the hair itself. I post (with scriptures)
on this matter a lot.
Does even nature itself not 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 as a covering.
-NASB version
"If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off; and if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, she should cover her head. A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man."
1 Corinthians 11.
Please don't twist scripture.
Why would the Bible say that we as women should shave our heads if we don't cover it?
We are called to live our lives in modesty, not wearing our hair out in fancy hairstyles (which the Bible also talks about).
@@user-iz8np3vv4i It says it is shameful for a woman to pray and prophesy with her head uncovered. I don’t know a woman in this world who can remove her hair and put it back on to pray and prophesy. Also, check the use of the Greek word for veil/head covering used by Paul in the text. He is referring to a fabric or cloth that can be removed, not hair. The scripture is very very clear. Paul gave the example of hair from a natural perspective for people who did not understand the spiritual concept he was teaching.

I can paste up a essay by someone named FA that
addresses all this. That's up to you. He/she looks at Corinthians
only. My thoughts are below:
Every man who has something on his head while praying or prophesying disgraces his head.
-NASB version
If the above scripture means a turban, for example, why would God require the priests to
wear turbans? Paul certainly would have known about this and maybe seen it.
You shall speak to all the skillful people whom I have endowed with the spirit of wisdom, that they make Aaron’s garments to consecrate him, that he may serve as priest to Me. And these are the garments which they shall make: a breastpiece, an ephod, a robe, a tunic of checkered work, a turban, and a sash. They shall make holy garments for your brother Aaron and his sons, so that he may serve as priest to Me.
-excerpt Exodus 28
Jesus prayed with something on His head while on the cross. A crown of thorns.
And they dressed Him in purple, and after twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on Him; and they began saluting Him: “Hail, King of the Jews!”
-excerpt Mark 15
And Jesus, crying out with a loud voice, said, “Father, into Your hands I entrust My spirit.” And having said this, He died.
-excerpt Luke 23
*******************************************
At least twice a woman's hair was not only visible to Jesus Himself, but it touched Him. Neither woman was rebuked. Since Jesus didn't care about fabric head coverings why should we?

It can only mean the hair is the covering, as the NASB states here:
Does even nature itself not 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 as a covering.
*********************************************************
doth not even nature itself teach you, that if a man indeed have long hair, a dishonour it is to him? and a woman, if she have long hair, a glory it is to her, because the hair instead of a covering hath been given to her; ...
-Young's Literal Translation (YLT) 1 Corinthians 11 verse 13-15
************
No Old Covenant law requiring women to wear a fabric covering.
Therefore no Old Testament reference available.
1 Corinthians 11 starts with this:
...hold firmly to the traditions, just as I handed them down to you...
Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ.
Now I praise you because you remember me in everything and hold firmly to the traditions, just as I handed them down to you. But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ. Every man who has something on his head while praying or prophesying disgraces his head. But every woman who has her head uncovered...
So, there was no Old Covenant law requiring women to wear a fabric covering. There was no time to establish a tradition of a fabric covering. There was no way to "hold firmly to the traditions" because you can't start a 'tradition' in a period of time that is just a few years.
************
If the covering was a physical covering, then hair length is
irrelevant. No one would know if the woman had long hair
or no hair.
************
Also, if a woman needs to touch and pick up something physical, before
she can communicate with God, that would make the fabric covering
an idol. But one could also say it was a talisman I suppose, since a
talisman could be an article of clothing.
Talisman (basic definition)- a piece of clothing (or other physical object) that is
believed to have spiritual or magical properties. The object will align
with your intention for its use. Every time you look at a talisman, your
mind will recall the original intention of its use, until wearing it becomes
a necessary ritual.
************
There is also an essay by 'FA'. It's about a 5 minute read.
The full essay is available if requested. Once again one must
keep in mind when reading the essay, that women were not
using a fabric covering as a requirement of the Law. So it was
not part of the culture then.
That is confirmed by the events of Jesus with the 2 women above
and also the scriptures that discourage women from braiding their hair.
If women were commonly wearing a head covering in public
no one would have known about this braiding.
Their head and hair would have been covered by the fabric.
...likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire,...
-excerpt 1 Timothy 2 ESV
Do not let your adorning be external-the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear- but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart...
-excerpt 1 Peter 3 ESV
Excerpt here of post by FA:
If these verses do not move you yet then here’s one that should definitely blow your mind. Paul asks you to make a judgment call in verse 13 as if one should naturally see a problem because he asks you to:
"Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?
" If “covering” really meant a veil then one would have to explain why anyone would possibly come up with a judgment that a woman praying or prophesying WITHOUT A FABRIC VEIL ON THEIR HEAD WOULD LOGICALLY OR NATURALLY LOOK WRONG? Someone needs to explain this logically. Be honest, does looking at someone doing this naturally create a thought that a veil is missing?
“Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;” Colossians 3:12
O gladsome light,
pure brightness of the everliving Father in heaven,
O Jesus Christ, holy and blessed!
Now as we come to the setting of the sun,
and our eyes behold the vesper light,
we sing your praises, O God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
You are worthy at all times to be praised by happy voices,
O Son of God, O Giver of Life,
and to be glorified through all the worlds.
Amen.
I don’t wear head coverings but I do dress modestly. I catch myself judging someone who is not modest (most women are showing way too much in my opinion)
I will get a nice compliment on my skirt or dress at a store. It just happened yesterday. I am pleasant to everyone and always wear a cheerful smile.
God bless you my sister in Christ and may we all be in the will of the Lord.
I'm an Anabaptist Christian and this is helpful.
You have encouraged me with this video. I have been experiencing a lot of persecution for wearing a head covering in the churches. But this message has been so encouraging to me. Thank you sister 💖
Thankyou! For this video i feel relieved to know im not the only dealing with this, just like you im very sensitive, intuitive, but very anxious, ive got my own inward struggles and then when ppl hurt me, and treat me unjustly it hurts even more because of unhealed past hurts, and im in my own healing process inwardly, but unfortunately the enemy knows how to get to me, and certain ppl i truly believe were sent from the devil to destroy my peace in my own process of healing after 3 years!!! After 3 years i start to finally heal, and yet the devil sends ppl to destroy my peace in the midst of my healing process!!!! Im constantly praying to God for healing and protection!!! And i truly believe that God will protect me until it is my time to die!! Its scary, but i still need Gods protection, and peace! I pray everyday Lord when it is time for me to come home, it will be on your time, protect me until then!🙏 thankyou this video made me feel better!!!) You speak very well!!!
Good on you for following it. I too wear a head covering when I'm reading the Holy bible and in church.
I just started listening to this video. I am also sensitive to criticism, but have been head covering for nearly 3 years. I have not experienced much, if any negative criticism so far. In fact, I've noticed that strangers in public show way more respect towards me than before I covered...which really humbles me and makes me more aware of how I behave towards others. It has also opened up conversation on at least 2 occasions, in which I was able to share my testimony on what brought me to start covering. In fact, one of my husband's friends wife asked me if I would make one for her, as I crochet my own head scarves. . I am typically shy about sharing the Gospel, (not because of shame of Jesus, but because of fear of criticism...sad but true). But this simple garment over my head exposes me to more opportunities to share the Gospel. I will not stop covering now that I've started. The conviction God placed on my heart is too strong to ignore it. I am in no way a good example of a follower of Christ. I just pray every day for God's forgiveness and ask Him to help me to be more like Christ. I love what you're saying about criticism. I really need to hear it. This is really blessing me. Thank you.
Thank you for you video 😢is very sad how the church help , encourage to lost the Respect and dignity of the bride of Christ and some women still supporting that modern ideas 😔☹️
What you're saying is right. And good food for thought. I've often thought of the same. There are a lot of broken ppl out there. Including me. Thus making it more difficult to accept the criticism. And to not take it personal. Because it is, in essence a personal attack against whomever is the subject of the criticism. It is a catch 22. Wish we lived in a perfect world. But we do not. You're a wise young woman. I think you're doing exactly what you need to for you. I believe in the head coverings but have not worn them because no one else at my church does and I wanted to avoid the problems you're speaking of and not draw attention to myself by doing so. But at age 65 now I feel it's time to do what I feel us right and not worry about the rest and if I get criticized then pray that I'm able to respond in a Hodly way so as to please the Lord. ❤ love and blessings.
I found this very comforting to know that their are other Christian women besides me who want to cover their heads for Christ. I am a Roman Catholic and have been veiling in Church for a while but much to my parents dislike. They believe veils are only for Muslims. What do you think I should do?

So much wisdom here. Thank you. I found it very helpful.❤
It is a struggle. I have been tempted to not wear it...but I keep my head covered. A lot of people see me as Muslim. My co workers talk about me and the men ask questions. It is mainly the women.
Thank you for your videos. I have been struggling with ceiling and persecution from family and people I've worked with. You have inspired me to keep my eyes to myself and being obedient to Christ.
5:40 Bravo!! 🥰🙏🙏🙏words from Church of the martyrs (feminin):
Your little lamb, Jesus,............ cries out with a great voice: I love you, my Bridegroom, and in seeking you I torment myself, and together I crucify myself, and together I bury myself with your Baptism; and I suffer for you, to reign in you; and I die for you, to live for you; but as a blameless sacrifice, receive me that which with love I sacrifice to you. For her prayers, as a merciful, she saves our souls.
Thank you. This is very encouraging and helpful.
Im an Apostolic Pentecostal. We believe hair serves as the covering but i recently got super interested in wearing an actual covering. All the women in my church have been supportive so far which has been helpful, but Today i was rejected by a few people i was attempting to invite to VBS because they saw the head covering and assumed my identity. On one hand it helps me to hold more compassion for what Muslim women face, because i was being judged as one without even identifying as one. On another note it broke my heart, to see how hardened other people's hearts are. But it reminded me, Jesus himself was rejected and persecuted. I felt so discouraged, but i really think the Lord sent this my way to help comfort me
Sister please read the Bible for yourself

@@user-iz8np3vv4ithat’s a very recent and very Western reading of the text. Historically, women have worn head coverings in general life and especially during worship ever since the Bible was written until the last century.
Thank you for this I want to start veiling and have faced some criticism for it so was hesitant but this gives me faith thank you
God bless you for your firm faith in our saviour! Thanks for this great video!
7 Reasons for head covering
So the very first reason for head coverings is because of the created order. This is the foundation that Paul said “I want you to understand” (1 Cor 11:3a). This is not a cultural argument, but a transcendent argument as the Fathers headship is eternal and unchanging.
Because the ordinance of head covering is for certain times (v4-6), demonstrating a removable covering. (v6) It was to be worn during certain times (prayer and prophecy, or worship). This is not possible with hair. A man (men were instructed not to cover their heads) cannot remove his hair then put it back on when praying is done! “If a wife (woman) will not” demonstrates the covering was removable.
Because a woman’s hair (length according to the individual) is for her glory. (v15) Part of the purpose of the head covering is to veil this glory, not showcase it. Individual glory is the LAST thing any should want in the Presence of God!
Because this creates quite a quandary for women who cannot grow “long hair.” Think of Alopecia or many African women etc. Can they still pray and prophesy in certain settings? Regardless of hair length though, a covering can still be worn.
Because of the way verse six would read if we substituted “hair” or “long hair:” “If a wife (woman) will not [have long hair], let her cut her hair short…” Huh? She would already have done that! The whole point of that verse is to show the shame of her not covering.
Because it would be very odd if her symbol of authority in the presence of angels (v10) was one that gave her glory (v15), since the biblical testimony of angelic worship is not glory for angels, but angels showing humility and covering themselves. (Isa 6:1-3)
Because the Church agreed with the simplicity and power of this teaching for 1950 years, from the time of Apostles (v16) through the mid-Twentieth Century (1950-60s). We only began to disobey these precepts on a large scale when feminism hit the West like a tidal wave.
3:52 wow, that’s a word.
Yes! ❤
❤💕 you teaching right. Praise God
I greatly appreciate your videos!🌹
My mum got very upset at me for going out like that so I’m gonna do a Jewish and head covering styles that involve a bun. Though hijabs honestly look move orthodox.
this comment is interesting . I saw old photos of Christian Jewish and Muslim women in the Middle East. They are all dressed very much how religious Muslim women dress today . Some of them even had face veils on exactly like Muslim women today .
Honestly if I saw the above woman outside I’d assume she was either Sikh Hindu, Romanian or Muslim . Christian no unless her crucifix was on show.
Because the hair is showing our front I would also
Assume it was “cultural dress “ rather than religious . Because culturallly across all indopak countries regardless of religion the scarf is worn as above . Sometimes it’s a square scarf as Italian old women wear in the villages .
I’m a Muslim woman I cover fully . Think long black loose dress and headscarf. And I veil the face also
I would say the associations to other religions shouldn’t matter . You know who you are covering for. People will use such arguments to deter you . If it’s not this argument others like “I’m afraid someone will attack you for looking like a Muslim “. Muslim parents say this to their kids today , sad but true
If it’s not there will be other arguments to deter you “ how will you get married “. “How will you get a job “. So many deterrents .
You need to keep in mind you are doing this to please your Creator no other reason
I honestly can't believe it. Not only are women abandoning a beautiful tradition based off scripture and emulating the Theotokos, but they are even encouraging other women to do the same and shaming those who don't follow. Lord have mercy. May this feminist secular wave pass and may the head coverings return for all women in the church and not only the church, but even during prayers and everyday living.
I stopped veiling because I felt insecure and got distracted and tired, I'm planning of going back to veiling. Its the right thing to do. I hate getting accused of being Muslim or wanna be. I often try styles that were non Muslim. I gotta refocus. I got the devil in the way. When I stopped veiling I felt more exposed and vulnerable it hasn't been so long since I veiled which is a push from God to cover up again
Believe it or not after you read the Bible correctly you Will accept Islam "if" you honest with yourself and be honest about Bible contradiction
Thanks for your video sist, i want to do that, but my husband say it's akward, and he say it's only some ald tradition that we don't have to do anymore, because Jesus already die for all that, that we may free.
But in this day, i really feel that God want me to do it, since i have been pray to have His approval for my live, though prayer and fasting. Do you any advise for me🙏🏻

Start with a headband. Something modern. Get different ones to go with outfits. Do it for a year. God knows your heart! Let your husband know your just testing things out. I wear bandanas full time and circle veils on Sundays. :)Tell him it is good to veil because he will not have to worry on guys 'hitting ' on you! haha!
I wanna start wearing one I just don’t know if I’m too young, or if my parents will shut down the entire idea my father is catholic and my mother is non denomination Christian I honestly need guidance on this topic what should I do and how should I bring up the idea of wearing one ? ❤ 🙏
God bless you sister
I just remembered sometimes at Christian women's conferences the women stare at me.
Those trying to bring shame to those covering their heads are to suppress anything that will make others see that the head covers are beautiful and nothing wrong with them.
My Priest doesn’t want me to wear a head covering and I want to wear it all the time. Idk what to do.
That's strange. Is your priest an Orthodox Christian?
@@righteousrebellion90 yes for a long time. We go to an Antiochian Orthodox Church. I asked him for his blessing and he said that I should do what the majority do at church and was specific when he said the majority at our church don’t wear them so I shouldn’t but if I visit a church that does then I should too. We have a Serbian Orthodox Church 3 hours away in KC where everyone wears them and we will be visiting but can’t afford to go but maybe once a month.
@@Livingtabitha Wow, I'm very surprised by this, but I'm sure he has his reasons. I personally would listen to him though for as long as he is my priest.
@@righteousrebellion90 I am but at the same time I don’t want to. Feeling rebellious 😂😜 there’s like 2 people who wear them. They probably didn’t ask for a blessing or they don’t care. I’m also a catechumen so idk. We have a Cathedral here too and they are the same way. Only a few wear them but the overwhelming majority doesn’t. Someone told me it’s because of the Muslims and not wanting to look like them and I said that’s ridiculous. We worship the same Abrahamic God and if we are to love everyone then why would it matter? I don’t care if someone thinks I look Muslim or anything else. Anyways, I hope your day is going well.
@@Livingtabitha I understand. I have actually stopped wearing my head covering except for at church and prayer at home, because my husband prefers me without it. And my priest says that through serving my husband, I serve God. So as much as it pained me I took it off. We always want to do what we want to do, and being rebellious is usually a bad idea...unless you are being rebellious towards the devil, which is the only rebelliousness I endorse. Lol...please take my advice dear sister, listen to your priest while he is your priest, otherwise why would you even be in a church where you don't respect your spiritual father? Why ask for the blessing if you aren't going to listen to what he says regardless if you like it or not? I have asked my priest to bless my CZcams channel for me to continue making videos, he said he will not give me the blessing until MAYBE after my baptism...it isn't what I wanted to hear but I respect it and so I haven't made a video in a long time waiting for the blessing, and if I never get it then so be it. The whole point of our priest is to guide us and perhaps he sees something that you don't. If I were you I would listen, and only cover during prayer at home. But it's your decision. God bless you my dear, Christ has risen!
if covering her head helps a woman enjoyn the presence of the holy trinity in her heart and life, i'm all for it! outside of that, yeah, not so much ;-) xo
Excellent!❤ Can you share what fabric is your covering? And what is length and width in inches? Thank you!
I just want to know what God in Abrahamic religions has against women's hair. Strange since he made it. If he thought people shouldn't see our hair, he would have made us with a built in hat on top of our head to cover it, or perhaps just made us bald.
Very nice Video🙏 Iam Orthodox too. Kann i ask you something? Have you Headcovering always? Not only in the Church? Because Apostel Paul sais that Women schould wear Headcovering only in the Church, in the Lyturgi. Not all the time 🙂
i get a lot of slander about my hats Jesus designed some fun hats for me to wear the bonnets since He made me the high priest. so not good to slander the priest im sure. but they do
i was an ordinary young lady
i go to the church
Wearing Hijab
When I'm about to receive the holy Eucharist
The priest Say something to me
I did not heard it clearly
That priest is already my friend
Because I'm an altar server
The reason I wear Hijab because my white Catholic veil is in the laundry
Can you tell me what orthodox church. I've been looking for there churches where I live. I see Greek and other names of churches. I want to go to the right one one. Thank you
they're all the same 😂❤ Eastern Orthodox churches have the same doctrine and theology, different canon of saints, according to region. Russians will have some saints that Greeks and Serbs or Bulgarians don't and vice versa, but they all have in common the most prominent saints.
Keep in mind that there are also Oriental Orthodox churches, like Egyptian Coptic. They have a slightly different doctrine than the Eastern one and there was a whole schism in the past because of their understanding of the person of Christ Lord.
Look for a couple, visit, have a discussion with the priests there, and take time to take it all in.
@@jesusheals3799 OK thanks 😊 for the information
I love would too marry someone that wear veil all the time,and l'am not married too . {Anyone? Who veils? Wanted to be married}I also love women veiling too I look up to these woman as child and now as adult...Thanks for veiling... I heard religious people say what's that they know better and make make excuses. It's our little secret .
The Handmaid's Tale,
What you are doing is Obeying scriptures. Do NOT listen to the heretics who tell you to take it off.
There can be no criticism about headcovering. Because ALL Christian women had covered hair and still have in Holy Orthodoxy
Are you an Orthodox Christian?
I am a catechumen for the Eastern Orthodox Christian church.

@@jamesworkman9697 welcome to the truth my bro or sist in Christ. Greetings from Indonesian orthodox.
Why is it such struggle? It's quite easy, like putting on a pair of shoes. ? ? ? !
It's not easy, because it's not culturally accepted everywhere. And so many women have the struggle of thier husbands not allowing them to cover and thier family shaming them for covering. I talk to these kinds of women all the time...many people will criticize you. I've experienced it all myself aswell.

I have two questions for the first question is are you saved? My second question is are you Greek?

...Sister are You there?? You okay?
You mentioned that you struggle with criticism about head covering which seems odd because I do not hear of such things perhaps it exists more in your area. Interesting that you mention that you feel intuitively that just by looking you can tell you are being criticized even if the person was silent. With this bit of information is it not possible that you may be reading more into their look? I say this to avoid creating certain feelings due to personal perception. Though there is nothing innately wrong with wearing a head covering as long as it is due to personal preference than something deemed obligatory and dogmatic. I hope God helps you with any struggles and that you seek him to understand his word.
I live in the country and I get people that shun me because they think I am Muslim. It is very much a real thing to get dirty looks or rudeness while covering. Sad, but true.
I hope I will find a woman with a head covering to be my wife.

...because the hair instead of a covering hath been given to her...
In your own selves judge ye; is it seemly for a woman uncovered to pray to God? doth not even nature itself teach you, that if a man indeed have long hair, a dishonour it is to him? and a woman, if she have long hair, a glory it is to her, because the hair instead of a covering hath been given to her;...
-Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

@@user-iz8np3vv4i I dont judge those who dont wear head coverings but I like those with head coverings. What am I to judge.
Muslims u can appreciate her modesty without bothering her to come to Islam you know.
Practising Jew and Christians exist.
I hope you read Quran, give it a chance , you look smart, and looking for the truth and not caring about what other say ,and i wish the best for you .
Jesus Christ is the truth....why not give Him a chance.
Sunny Day@ Be smart and be christian. Women in Islam suffer from poligany both on earth and in heaven. In muslim heaven a muslim man will definitely have more than one wives and will be busy with them,,,but what about muslimah ( Muslim women ) ???
We don’t want your copy paste religion
@@pellesvansl I don't care if I get followers or not. Gods will be done.
@@pellesvansl I think you have a misconception of me. Nothing here is about me. It's about God. It doesn't matter if people respect me, like me, follow me, don't follow me, speak bad about me, speak good about me. I doesn't matter. I'm simply sharing my experience as I walk this life to the best of my ability in the way of Christ. I'm not perfect, I don't deserve anything, I don't expect anything. I'm simply trying my best to do God's will in my life. I'm a Christian, I love Jesus Christ my Lord and my Savior, who is the second person of the Trinity. Father Son and Holy Spirit. Peace be to you.
Why should a Christian whose spiritual identity is essentially not a matter for public performance, unlike the habitus of moslems and Jews who call themselves pious (Haredi)? Headcovering in the Semitic and Graeco-Roman world view of the ancient world was a solution for a problem we don’t believe exists, because the hair of a woman is not considered the female equivalent of male testicles as they used to think. Perhaps modern moslems and Jews still think this way, but Christians don’t. So dressing like XIX c. Russian peasants doesn’t make any sense. It doesn’t bring anyone closer to God, amd prayers uttered by women with uncovered hair are heard because there is no shame praying uncovered (equivalent for the ancients to praying nude).
It is biblical. And it actually can very much so bring you closer to God, as it can teach you both humility and modesty. Two attributes that God loves.
@@righteousrebellion90 lots of things can effect or inhibit religious progress but pharisaical vaunting of piety is not one of them. We do not live in the Roman world where the best science said hair is hollow and creates a vacuum attracting male seminal fluid. Again, maybe moslems and Jews think this way, but no modern Christian does. Unveiled women are not suctioning the semen of Asael, Satanael and the fallen angels these days.
I don't even think you understand why Christian women cover their heads....forget understanding, you don't even know. Nowhere in 1 Corinthians 11 did it mention that the hair is equivalent to a man's testicles. We do not veil for the same reasons as Muslims and Jews. The motive behind it is to show humility to God and serve as a reminder of the bridal relationship between Christ andd the chruch. We veil for God and not men
@@ruhama02 of course I do not know what you feel about your own hair and covering it in church, nor do I want to as it’s a personal matter entirely. St. Paul writes in a very terse manner admonishing women who might show it in the first century Mediterranean world. The act of showing your hair had a totally different meaning then than it does now. Your own ignorance of what underlies St. Pauli’s terse saying, its background in first century ‘science’ and the Semitic mythology regarding Watchers being naturally attracted to women’s hair is no excuse for your own incomprehension of the topic. You could do a little research, go to the library and look up some texts on interlibrary loan if you are curious.
Hair covering seems a very emotional issue to you; it should not be. The Bride of Christ is no woman in church (perish the thought!) but the whole Church. Humility doesn’t require any particular manner of women’s dress except that it’s modest. You are applying antique Semitic notions to church life that have absolutely no meaning outside your sentiments.
@@claesvanoldenphatt9972 Not to be rude but are you sure you even read what I wrote??. I never said the bride of the church is any woman, veil/head-covering serves as a reminder of the bridal relationship between the Christ and the Church, not the woman herself.
Another thing, you're talking about Mediterranean societal norms which I agree, is entirely different from today's society but 1 Corinthians 11 is not about societal norms but religious norms. I gave you the religious reasons for covering the hair not the societal ones.
If humility does not require any manner of dress except that it is modest, why are you so against head covering
Thank you for sharing beautiful sister, this was definitely eye-opening and helpful. 🤍
