Yes but later on Paul says her hair is for a covering

Like I posted in another thread, same book same writer, a few chapters earlier. 1 Corinthians 7:8 but no one makes a doctrine out of that!

Because it's not a command but a request

1Co 7:6 But I say this as a concession, not as a command.
1Co 7:7 I wish all people could be like myself, but each one has his own gift from God, one in this way and another in that way.
1Co 7:8 Now I say to the unmarried and to the widows: It is good for them if they remain as I am.
1Co 7:9 But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with sexual desire.
1Co 7:10 To the married I command—not I, but the Lord—a wife must not separate from her husband.
1Co 7:11 But if indeed she does separate, she must remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife.

How bout men keep their hair short, pray and worship without a headcovering, women keep their hair long and wear headcovering when praying and worshipping, and move on to more important stuff?

I am not making hair a salvation issue, but only a Bible issue. truthseeker has made some good points and is sincere in his belief on the subject as do I. I do not view him as an apostate because of his stand. I have many people I call brother and sister who differ with me on this teaching. It will be God we stand before and whose judgement we should fear no matter what your stance.

I believe that.

I don't

wearing veils was a local custom. Greek pagan women often wore veils

Paul taught that Christian women ought to be covered when praying, and cited no local custom for support, only Biblical reasons, and one supporting argument from nature. He affirmed this was the position of all the churches of God.

Sorry, I don't have a Wikipedia source for these claims.
