Should women cover their heads during worship?

[Guest Bro David™]

Well, just on a light note here. I don't think the wearing of a head covering or not will have any relevence as to whether you'll be banned from entering heaven. It's up to your own spiritual belief. I'm fairly sure it wont affect your salvation. But then I don't know everthing. Do I?

You see, when you truly Love God you will even want to obey the things that bear no relevance to your Salvation.

True Faith will lead you in all His ways even when it does not pertain to salvation.

For woman to cover the Head is an act of Faith not a work designed for salvation.

But then I would be wrong, LOL Right ?

The covering symbolizes the woman as being under the headship of her husband. This means that we are held responsible to our husbands for taking care of house and home and children etc. The vieling is an outward symbol and is worn over the hair which has been neatly gathered in a bun.

There is nothing about being under complete dominion by our husbands because the husband comes under the headship of Christ. That means our husband is held accountable to the care of the women and children in his home to Christ. It is his role to protect and care for his wife and children and if he dosen't he will be judged by Christ for NOT doing his duty.

Christ is under the headship of God who is our loving Father in Heaven. Christ paid for our sins when he died on the cross at calvery. His act of contrition (to borrow a word from our catholic friends) was to die for sins in which we had committed in our lives. Because of this wonderful gift those of us who are saved and call upon his name can stand sinless before the throne of judgement.

In our faith the mennonite faith (and there are others who wear a covering too) the women wear the covering all the time so we can be reminded of the Love that God has given us throught His Son Christ. Sadly there are those in all faiths who do not "honor" the Father in this fashion. In my case it also reminds me that we are here but a short time and we must do what we can through the grace of God to show nonbelievers Gods Love and Mercy. After all we are not of this world just in it.

May the Peace and Blessings of Christ be with you all. - Papasangel

Sactyfied, I think the long haired, blue eyed, light brown haired Jesus depicted on so many paintings, etc., are probably not very close to His true physical characteristics while He walked among the apostles. He was a Nazarene man, and I believe to the Nazarenes, long hair on a man was considered disgraceful. Jesus as a Jewish man probably had dark eyes, and short curly dark hair. We don't really know for sure what He looked like, but just thought I'd toss this in.

Sactyfied,

I've been thinking about His eyes being as a flame of fire in Revelation, too.

Revelation 1:14

His head and his hair were white like wool, as white as snow: and his eyes were as a flame of fire;

I didnt read all the comments so forgive me if Im repeating something but

a women's hair back then was a sign of "sexiness"; it was an item of attraction. Of course its a lot worse today when women show other parts of the body but yeah women's hair would drive a man crazy back then.

As because times have changed, I suppose (and I strongly say that) that we should basically say: women should dress conservativly for prayer and church.

Peace
