They teach it from scriptures because it's already a part of their culture.

A woman cannot take her hair off and put it back on when she prays or prophesies. His primary topic is veiling. The hair is just an example from nature...a secondary mention.

Mike it isn't about taking something on and off, the Apostle is talking about headship. Hence the reason he brings in the issue of a man having uncut hair makes him look vile and disgusting. God isn't into napkins, or handkerchiefs covering the woman's head, and the man in the OT covered his head during a time of mourning. The sentence is clear....

1st Corinthians 11:15

But a woman, if she should have tresses of hair [a glory to her is it]; for the hair of the head INSTEAD OF a wrap is given to her.

Mike, this is simple and very plain, the uncut hair is given to the woman instead of the turban (περιβολαιου means to wrap around )

Yet, we still have the word αντί where w get the English word "anti" as in Antichrist. This word means instead of, or in the place of, meaning the hair is to be used instead of or in the place of the turban.

Apostolic "Pentecostal" never seemed to go beyond Oneness and Acts 2:38. To cover up the shallowness thereof they invent doctrines like the headcovering is the natural covering of hair. And that if a woman trims it she goes to Hell.

I'm not going to argue the merits either way, but I will say this:

It is very Godly and beautiful to see the covering when embraced en masse.

I would much rather see the things given in the pics Michael provided, than the super-do's and flowers and what-not that many modern OP women embrace.

Mike you don't believe people go to hell, so stop the drama.

I offered the scripture break down, you deny.

So, does your wife wear a turban?

Also what do you do with the Greek word κατακαλυπτεται in verses 6-7?

Not inventing anything Mike, just looking at scripture.



This would be the turban found in 1st Corinthians 11:15

Yet, the other verses tend to lean more to something on this level....
