If the Long Hair is a covering
I was discussing with a brother the other day the appearent contradiction of some UPCs that require women to wear their hair up at church...yet her hair is supposed to be a covering (veil)...veils my dear friends are not meant to be skull caps.
They are veils that come down off the head to the shoulders and lower. Telling women to wear their hair up in church sort of defeats the purpose of what the bible says about praying or prophesying uncovered if you ask me...if anything it would be in reverse....wear it up OUTSIDE of church.
This extends to those that wear actual material coverings. A veil is not a little piece of fabric on the head. What's the point in teaching long uncut hair if you are going to pile it or hide it (your glory) by wearing it up or teaching you are to wear an actual veil only to wear just a scarf or a fabric cap on the head?
