I have to admit I had a hard time following this thread. My wife and I have discussed this issue before. We settled it with:

1 Corinthians 11:16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.


She has lovely medium long hair. We decided that would suffice. She is concerned about it turning gray, I'm concerned about mine turning loose.

So, maybe a question was asked of Paul about women wearing some kind of "hat" or something and he was drawing the conclusion that we don't have such customs.

I'm also wondering if Paul was trying to remove yet another thing for the Corinthian church to argue and bicker over. They were allowing incest but arguing over women wearing a "hat".

People haven't changed. Technology has, scenery has, but people are still the same.

Philippians 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
