Hats in church

[jc49]

I attend 3 different churches on the weekend.  Two of the churches are contemporary and the one I go to on Saturday is very conservative.  I don't understand why wearing my hat at church is such a huge deal.  There's nowhere in the Bible that talks specifically about a man wearing a hat.  The one Scripture that discusses covering on a man's head being unnecessary (which I don't remember off hand) is speaking more specifically about men are not to have long hair.  Of course, the lady who lectured me on not wearing my hat in church would never dare to lecture any of the men in our church about the length of their hair.  Who are we to pick and choose what a Scripture means and then make it an edict for all men to follow?  Isn't it dangerous to put human principles ahead of God or on the same level?

One of my rules for dating my daughter was that unless they were going to a bar-be-que or a dog fight, the boy better be wearing a tie when he came to pick her up!

Oh I was a beast!  The most horribly old-fashioned father ever!  I ruined her social life!

  My daughter did not have a child out of wedlock, and married a young engineer, who, by the age of 24 had saved $300,000!!!

Well... I have only ever seen my boyfriend in a tie once (for a job interview) in the nearly 3 years I've known him and the 14 months we've been going out and what do you know, we don't have a child (and indeed, won't have a child) out of wedlock.... I guess the tie doesn't make the man after all!

Bro. David: Let's go back and look at the story of Naaman again. What if Naaman had absolutely refused to bathe in Jordan. And what if the Aide de Camp TRULY loved general Naaman? Would not love have COMPELLED the Aide to pull Naaman off his horse and THROW him in the Jordan seven times? WHATEVER IT TAKES TO BRING THE OBEDIENCE TO GOD'S WORD.....?

I imagine that would have embarassed Naaman at first, but when he came into compliance with God's Word and was healed, I'd bet he'd begin to see the light. I can only tolerate pretentious tom-foolery, posing as 'Christian love' for so long!

And since so man on this thread are hell-bent (hmmmmmmm) on ignoring the clear statement of God, good manners, and proper respect for their betters (God), I will bow out while I'm still feeling friendly!

Whats the deal with wearing baseball caps all the time anyhow? Even if the the sun is shining, 9 times out of 10 the brim is in the wrong position to begin with. Are they too lazy to comb their hair? Nevermind, by todays most popular hair styles I would have to say YES! So if it doesn't matter these days what your hair looks like, why cover your head to begin with? Funny that an article of clothing which was originaly created to keep the sun out of your eyes and keep your head warm could become so controversial. Imagine if everyones faith were as strong as others need to wear hats indoors.

Oh, Dannyboy, please don't start me on my rant about the "ghetto look". My youngest tried that once - that hat got slapped around to the front right quick.

Hear, hear! Other One:  The sheer rudeness!  I would ask any man  so ill-bred and ill-mannered  as to wear a hat in church to remove it.  If he refused, I WOULD REMOVE HIM!

what about the women at church who wear the HUGE hats that block peoples veiw. no one tells them to remove their hats?

That's because the Word says they should have their head covered, so I doubt anyone's gonna tell them to go against the Word, in church of all places.

However, if they are going to wear a huge, honkin' job, you'd think they'd sit in the back so as not to block other's views.
