1 Cor 11:6] For if a woman does not have her head veiled, she may as well have her hair cut off. But if it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should wear a veil.

Most of the Christians follow Paul and not Jesus. It is the Paul who changed the true teachings of Jesus Christ.
We Muslims follow the commandment because that is in the Qur'an also...

The context of the entire passage of 1 Corinthians 11:3-16 is submission to the God-given order and "chain of command." A "covering" on a woman's head is used as an illustration of the order, headship, and the authority of God. The key verse of this passage is 1 Corinthians 11:3 "But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God." The implications of this verse are found in the rest of the passage. The order is: God the Father, God the Son, the man or husband, and the woman or wife. The veil or covering on the head of a believing Corinthian wife showed that she was under the authority of her husband, and therefore under submission to God.

Again, it's for modesty. Showing off a woman's hair back then was the equivalent of wearing revealing clothes now. They didn't want men to sin by lusting after them. It's the same reason women wore their hair up in the 1800's--they only let their hair down at night, so seeing a woman's long hair was like seeing her in her nightgown.

a million Corinthians: actual is reffering to a society wherein hair symbolized sexuality, sorta like how breasts are immediately. as a result hair replaced into stored lined, basically like breasts are immediately. Its humorous to contemplate hair as some thing sexual, yet did you comprehend that back than breasts weren't seen sexual? Nope, they have been seen no longer something extra desirable than a physique section used to feed toddlers. in actuality there are statues of the virgin mary breastfeeding Jesus, and this replaced into no longer inapropriate with the aid of fact of lifestyle. The "enable her be shorn" section is reffering to prostittues, with the aid of fact purely prostittutes shaved their head. as a result paul replaced into asserting, "in case you will act skimpy, you may besides be a prostitute!" faith does not have a time, however the bible does... The bible is strongly laid low with lifestyle and history, or maybe the bible itself says to appreciate lifestyle... Even Paul himself in good shape regulations to particular cultures.... ------------------------- a million Timothy: Um... confident. Jesus is our mediatior. yet basically with the aid of fact he's a mediatior does no longer mean he's no longer God. God got here down, and became the mediator for us with the help of death on the circulate. God is a spirit, so he may be "2" at an identical time as nevertheless being one...

Because the Bible is a fabricated piece of literature. It was written by Men for men. So was the Koran and everyother religous text out there. It is all philosophy. God is real, RELIGON is not.

According to Jewish Law women had to be covered but as you can see from verse 15 this has to be left for us to judge..
Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?
In our society today it is not unseemly for a woman to not wear a hat... Jim

I think you'll find that is the teaching of the apostle Paul, not Jesus of Nazareth.

well, for one it is cultural. Now, he would say something like, it is not proper for a woman to wear a bikini to church.
Secondly, this is the teaching of Paul, and not Jesus.

And the Christians say that the Muslims are wrong at everything when we follow similar scriptures. Pity...

I do cover my head for prayer and Mass. I cover my head with a scarf most of the time.
