Yes. Every time I tie my scarves on (the silly things fall out a lot) I am *deliberately choosing* to put myself in positional submission to my husband and to God.

Who wants to play “Metaphysical Unanswered Questions”? I’d like to get some answers for, “Why do the angels care what I do with my hair?”

It makes some spiritual difference. Don’t ask me what, it’s too misty to pin down and define, but … it makes me feel different to be covered, even all alone in my house by myself.

I’m pretty sure my church (pastor Mike hasn’t gotten ’round to 1 Corinthians yet) considers it what I’ve heard other evangelical sorts do: A specific rule because of specific hairstyles and actions of the times. (apparently the Corinthian priestesses of Aphrodite cut their hair quite short and were used to being bossy/outspoken in church). I didn’t give it a moment’s thought until I saw someone talk about it on the ‘net, and then I thought about it. Researched it. Prayed over it. Talked to the husband… and gave it a go. It makes a difference. So that’s what I do. /shrug. I mostly cover pretty stealthily these days, but I used to wear a scarf all the time. It fell off a lot and I got a lot of weird looks (fun – wear a scarf to the airport).

@Paul, you do understand that the reformed used to teach this, in fact some still do? Go see Heathie’s link. Will S was being polite and gracious. If you look at the list of reasonable churches in the link group, there are two overtly reformed churches in Dunedin plus the conservatie Presbyterians I hang around with.

And the OP is an explanation of what used to be standard doctrine.

Every woman praying or prophesying Here we have the second proposition — that women ought to have their heads covered when they pray or prophesy; otherwise they dishonor their head For as the man honors his head by showing his liberty, so the woman, by showing her subjection.
Hence, on the other hand, if the woman uncovers her head, she shakes off subjection — involving contempt of her husband.

It is worthwhile noting that Calvin saw the root of this uncovering as a matter of showing contempt to one’s husband, and to godly authority, which is the modus operandi of feminism.

More likely to be beanies where I live, and yes, it is a temptation.

I have never seen this passage preached. Ever. I wonder why.

Does this mean you’re joining my brigade of people highly tempted to wander quietly through service and flick baseball caps off? -grins- http://hearth-tobelovely.blogspot.com/2013/08/stealth-covering.html
