1Co 11:9 Neither was man created for the sake of woman, but woman for man.
1Co 11:10 For this reason a woman should have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels. (Which are ministers of God when you approach him)

Submission is realized in many aspects of our life and the covering is clearly the very sign of such acceptance of her authority and the lack of covering the acceptance of his authority according to creation in the body of Christ.

Then show me in the bible, outside of rebuke, that the word commanded women to wear coverings.

You can find rebukes in the bible about killing, and that is because there is a commandment in the bible that says to not kill.

To command the covering in 1 Cor 11 is to command something not laid out in scripture. You cannot rebuke someone for something God requires in and of itself if God never stated He required it in scripture. Paul was rebuking them for something God never laid out in scripture. But the reason he did it was for the same reason he rebuked people for eating meats offered to idols in sight of those who would be offended by it. You refuse to see that point.

Why did Paul rebuke people for eating meats before those offended? Because meats in and of themselves were forbidden by God? No. He did not forbid meats due to the meat in and of itself. He forbid them due to the issue of offenses. That is why Paul said meat is only meat and it does not empower a false god, nor does it diminish from our relationship with God. Paul taught such things when there was no singular command against them. That is the case for the veil. Unless you can give me a passage that commands a veil in scripture, outside a rebuke similar to that over meats, then I am satisfied with my conclusions whether anyone else is or not.
