Concerning your other points... They don't deal with text itself. Paul does not give that form or type of reasoning at all. I have read and reasearched the arguments from both sides and been through formal debate after formal debate. To each his own but in the end it is God who we must seek 1st and his will. I cannot justify the reasoning of others that make the text not for today. It doesn't say that nor even hint to such.

I would think one would want to be able to pray at any time. I can't imagine God removing all the trappings of the OT law that stood between common man and Him, and then replacing it with a law that tells women they can't pray unless they cover their heads. What if no headcovering is available? I suppose a woman could put her hand on her head in order to cover it appropriately....
