I've been doing a lot of study on Corinthians 11 and i have seen the passage interpreted as women must cover their heads and that a woman's long hair is cover enough. What do you think the passage says and do you as a woman cover your head? 
Hi, Gavriel, and welcome to IO.I've been doing a lot of study on Corinthians 11 and i have seen the passage interpreted as women must cover their heads and that a woman's long hair is cover enough. What do you think the passage says and do you as a woman cover your head?![]()
I wouldn't be surprised if the traditional Muslim bukha is simply an extension of this practice either.
Now that was funny!It probably is since the actual verse in our scripture just tells all Muslims (men and women) to dress modestly, unlike the burkah concept which turns women into ninjas. Yea they look dangerous, but they have like no skillz.
I agree with what you have said. I also found out that the early christian women were starting to cut their hair short and go to church with hair cut shorter than the mens hair. Also Corinthian prostitutes had hair that was cut very short. So was Paul talking about an actual cloth cloth covering or was he talking about long hair?
There are various groups where men cover there heads to, and then groups that insist they take hats off to pray...
all so confusing.
