Bro. Paul,
I'd like to offer you this article from Bro. Reagan who was a wonderful encouragement to my husband and I. We've rarely found a subject we've disagreed on. http://www.learnthebible.org/head-coverings.html The question of head coverings is one that I know I've studied out and one that I believe Sis. Pam Custer has studied out although it's been awhile. Perhaps it would offer a different perspective than the archived thread? There is also a "group" or denomination if you will, called Head-Covering Baptists. You can find their information here: http://coveredbaptists.proboards.com...ay&thread=2571 The one thing that "is" appealing of wearing a covering is that you are identifying yourself as different, peculiar. And you are more aware of yourself and your testimony knowing that you will not just blend into the crowd with your actions. Kind of like having Scripture signs on the back of your car. We have Dr. Ruckman's Scripture signs on the back of all our vehicles, it's an extra reminder that we should behave in such a way as to bring glory to His name. While we should always behave ourselves so as to not bring a reproach to the cause of Christ sometimes it's not enough and our flesh gets its way. But being ever aware that we're not out there on the road like everyone else, we have God's Words on our bumpers, hopefully that will spur us on to exhibit the Fruit of the Spirit even when a car pulls out in front of us Anyway, Bro. Paul I hope these 2 articles will help you in your studies. Be Blessed! |

Argh!!! I hadn't even thought of hers!! She does have a great website. My husband and her oldest son went to Bible school together. I know her personally and she is for SURE a Prov. 31 lady. Thank you Brother Craig for reminding me of this resource.

more thoughts!
Hi all!
Having read your links and I must say that they are interesting and I do appreciate your help, do you think that it is then a wrong thing to do for a man to cover his head when praying or prophesying? I can’t accept the interpretation of the woman’s covering within this context being her hair, because when you apply that rule of interpretation to the context then it makes it sound like a man is dishonouring his head if he is not bald when he prays! I agree that long hair is a covering but I don’t think that this is what is being meant here, as it seems as though Paul is referring to the natural order of things (i.e. masculine feminine appearances) to get them to see his point. Believe me when I say that I am not being sexist here in any way or trying impose rules upon women but I honestly seek to know what this means (after all, I don’t want to dishonour my head if I am praying with my hair on do I?) Any other thoughts? God bless PaulB |

I cannot see how verse 15 could be any clearer...a woman should DESIRE to have "long hair," there is a colon after the first phrase indicating that an explanation is coming, then there's the word "for" (can we agree that's going to mean 'because,?') and the word "covering" obviously referring back to "long hair." I, too, am interested in hearing everybody's thoughts on this, but maybe I should warn you, I AM a literalist! Pam www.custerfamilyfarm.com |

I don't even use the word "awesome," but that article was AWESOME!!! I love it when somebody/anybody reads a passage and says it means exactly what it says! And, like she mentioned in the article, I have always thought that it is very telling that people who want to promote a covering other than LONG HAIR, must "go to the Greek" to prove their point. My experience is limited in dealing with people on this issue, but I have NEVER had anyone press the separate/second covering teaching using only a King James Bible! THANK GOD FOR HIS WORD!
