Messianic head covering

absolutely loverly

In this video we discuss what is an appropriate and biblically faithful head covering. Does the Bible say anything about the size or type? Does it have to cover all your hair or can some be exposed? We answer these questions and debunk the myth that Paul was talking about veils that covered a woman’s face.This video is an adaptation of an article we wrote here.

Has God ever asked you to do something that felt scary? What does obedience mean when it goes against what the world expects from us? I’m sharing my own testimony as God led me to pursue headcovering as a Christian woman. Also included is His tremendous confirmation and sweet blessing after being obedient to His command.

If you practice headcovering for religious or health reasons this post is for you ❤ My hats I buy from Wal-Mart and Amazon, they range from $2.00 to $7.00, so they are pretty cheap and I usually...

In 1 Corinthians 11, the Apostle Paul instructs women to cover their heads while praying or prophesying. For 1900 years, the church understood Paul to be speaking of an artificial covering such as a veil or scarf. However, in the 20th century, a view began to gain popularity which argued that Paul wasn't speaking about veils, but hair lengths. In this video we'll overview this debate and provide 5 reasons for why we believe a woman is to cover her long hair with an artificial covering when…

Covering Testimony: Angela Dekker

I practice head-covering. It used to be that I just did it for church (with a veil), but I now do it nearly daily (with a bandanna), except on some rare occasions when I feel led to not cover my head. Otherwise, I do it all the time. I wrote about it early on in my journey, in the blog post entitled: A Long-Lost Tradition That I Practice - Wearing a Veil Before I started head-covering though, I asked my husband's permission if I could wear a veil to Mass. He found nothing wrong with it…

Putting on the Veil: A Personal Testimony of How I Came to Wear the Head Covering My purpose in writing this blog post is simple...to allow my Christian family and friends “access” to this particular belief if/when they are feeling too shy to ask me in person. If you are one of the many who have inwardly wondered “WHAT is THAT on your head?” or “WHY do you ALWAYS wear that?” then this one is for you! I think we can all agree that religious head coverings are much more uncommon (in America)…

Modesty according to one biblical lexicon is "the state of being appropriate for display". This is propriety in clothing where our "unpresentable parts are [covered], which our more presentable parts do not require" (1 Cor 12:23-24). It is a command of Scripture to dress modestly (1 TIm 2:9-10).

The controversial Islamic teaching that women should cover their heads is often viewed as oppressive. Yet, until recently, head coverings were not uncommon among Christian women. Is this an outdated, sexist concept? Heather Tomlinson dons a headscarf to find out.

What 1 Corinthians 11 Means For Today

The head covering passage (1 Cor 11:2-16) is often classified under the 'obscure' category in Scripture. One theologian said, 'head covering here and the man of sin in II Thessalonians are two of the three most obscure passages in the New Testament'. But is that so? This section of Scripture is debatable and there are good objections to the practice that require much thought and study. But obscure? A truly obscure verse is not expanded upon, explained or defended. The meaning cannot be…
