what is your opinion about 1 Corinthians Chapter 11 verses 3 to 16?

Question

Should Christians women should cover their head? ALWAYS because Christians even pray for food and doing anything good.

If somebody says that it was matter of culture then are we FREE even for sexual immorality which comes NEXT? or BIBLE IS nolonger VALID book tobe followed by CHRISTIANS?

UNFORTUNATELY I DO NOT AGREE WITH ANY ANSWER!!!!

Answer 1

Yes - it is possible that social conditions have changed that Paul wrote about and that is ok.
Why is there so much focus on this when the other 1,200 pages of the Bible are filled with God's love and direction.

It is not just you but it is getting reaalllly old.

Answer 2

You can read in Gen.24:64-65 that when Rebekah saw Isaac that she took he vial and covered herself.This was still in practice in the 1950's in some churches, and is still in practice among the Mennonites.There was a time that hats became the fashion , but before hats women would cover their heads with a head scarf when in church.They gave up the scarfs for hats, every woman wore a hat to keep up with the world and it's fashions.So by the time hats were no longer the fashion the church had forgotten these scriptures completely.Most will try and tell you that their hair is a covering but if that be the case these scriptures also tell us that its a shame for the man to pray with his head covered, so us men would have to shave our heads to pray.At that time it was the sign of a harlot if a woman cut her hair.They did this during WW II to the french women who had prostituted themselves to the Nazi's. Today this is no longer the custom and our Lord is a reasonable God.The covering was also worn to show that a woman was married and into subjection to her husband.Another part of the customs at that time.Today we have wedding rings.Today I believe that Christ has gently lead us to were we are now.However if a woman were to ware a covering on her head there would be noting wrong with that.

Answer 3

We know for certain that Saturday is the seventh day of the week because a clear record has been preserved by both historic Christianity and the Jews. After the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple in the first century A. D., the Jews left the holy land and settled in lands all over the known world. Wherever they were found, they were found observing the same weekly cycle. It is conceivable that one Jew might wake up one Saturday morning and think it's Friday, but it is not at all believable that a whole nation scattered all over the world could make that mistake. So, clearly, there is no doubt at all as to which day is the seventh and which is the first. Time has not been lost! In addition, we know from the writings of the earliest church fathers that there was a clear distinction between Saturday and Sunday. Some Christians observed both days, acknowledging that the former was the creation Sabbath, or seventh day of the week, the day all the Jews observed. Sunday was called the "first day" and sometimes called the "eighth day," since it was the day after the seventh day, or weekly Sabbath. It is true that in Europe there has been an effort to make Monday the first day of the week, but our calendar still has Sunday as the first day of the week. Monday is considered the first day of the work week, but not the first day of the normal calendar week.

When ever you study the Bible, remember to put the passages in context. In this case the letter was written to the followers in Corinth--and the people lived 2000 years ago. Cultures and customs vary from one to another.

Answer 5

During the time of that writing, it was Jewish culture for women to cover their head. It does not necessarily mean the Gentiles as well. Everyone interprets that as they wish, which is sad. It was the culture during that time for people to cover their head in prayer, then it was taken out that men did not have to and women should because they generally have long hair. But those times have passed because we are all Gentiles (there are not many actual Jews in existence anymore..). It's not our culture to cover our head, but if it makes you feel better then go ahead.

The true message is God's love. We are commanded to love Him and those around us. This simple writing is no where's near as important as our only commandment--love.

Answer 6

Back in the day, women covered there heads, harlot women didn't.

So it was seen as a bad thing. Nowadays we can apply it to short skirts, 2 piece clothing, tight pants, low top etc.

hope this helps, God bless !

Answer 7

its really just saying that its disrespectful for a man to wear a hat when praying or in a house of worship but it isnt for a woman, not that they should cover their head always. kinda like wearing a hat during the national anthem, men dont, women can. same concept.

Answer 8

About as boring as the rest of Corinthains. Women should do what they want. No woman should cover their head because some religion tells them too. What about the men? Why should their heads be seen? The only people that should be covering their head are the ugly ones!!!

Answer 9

Can you narrow down your question more? There's a lot of interesting things to comment on in those verses.

Answer 10

Just what we all need
More lies about a world that
Never was and never will be
Have you no shame? Don't you see me?
You know you've got everybody fooled
