Bro Luke, why “head coverings”? Nowhere in Scripture is any deeper relevance established. I’m glad Paul wasn’t addressing the inner garments worn by women; you’d demand they were necessary today. lol

Not didactic? LOL! There are view arguments in all the Bible if any that have more cross usage than
1 Cor 11. You point of culture is extremely weak and you know it. Paul does not appeal to culture he appeals to Christ and that God is the head of him and Christ is the head of the man and man the head of the woman. You don't go to the depth of argument and a need for a covering to simply say the covering does not matter. When all Paul had to say is follow the local custom concerning wearing veils so you don't tick them off or bring offense. He doesn't say that nor does he even come close to even giving it as a reason. He does point to God, Christ, Man and woman.
His points are not how to pray in the pagan culture and not to offend but how to approach God in prayer and prophecy not matter the place. To point out that man is the IMAGE AND GLORY of God and should not be covered because of this is not about cultural taboo but my position before him due to creation in the following verses. Sorry but he is creating or reinforcing this teaching to the church. This is brought about by the new relationship we have before him through Christ. That could not have been taught before hand as it was just realized in there lifetime.
