fwiw I thought it was good; however, if I wanted to tear it apart... I would ask for reference material that support your history of culture during the Corinthian church age. Other than that, I thought it was good.

Bro... there's nothing like doing your own homework. There's LOTS of stuff out there on it. Most commentaries cover it. Don't just try to refute it, learn of the position and compare it to what you've been taught. See which view is truest to the wording of the text and the cultural context of the writing.

Re: Monopoly on Apostolic Identity is no more ....
Also hmmm veiling all throughout history even in the OT.... hmmm purpose? yeah! Could that purpose been a culture in which God created? yes! Was Paul applying this teaching in the light of being in the body of Christ? YES! So our fraudulant culture negates a continous biblical truth and it's ok? No!

There really is no explicit commandment for a circumstance such as when Rebekah veiled herself before meeting Isaac up close and personal. We are told she did so, and we are left to conclude that she must have been a modest and chaste woman within the context of her ancient culture.
It's difficult to find "a culture God created." Inevitably, you are left to fill in a million and one blank spots. It's best to find those principles that are eternal; hold to them and adapt to everything else. Culture by definition is of human origin.

sorry but God did create culture within the children of Israel. God's laws brought culture as now does the Spirit continue that culture and mindset of life. Sure we don't have many things to read about before Israel but that does not negate what is taught and we do know.

The beauty of Christianity is that it is so dynamic it thrives in any culture and any century.  We're not like Islam where in order to thrive we have to subjugate existing culture.

I would have to disagree. We do change culture if you teach true Christianity!!
