Men covering their hair during prayer was a Jewish custom, correct? So why did Paul say it was a shame?
You think that after the resurrection of Jesus, that's when it became a shame? But there were many other Jewish customs that continued, right, that Paul didn't think were necessary, but didn't call a shame?
I Cor. 11 just seems to jump out there with no precedent, it just confuses me. I'm sure the people he was writing to understood his point, but I'm still not quite understanding where that passage had other witness in scripture.
