I understand what your saying Tom. It is your individual Biblical interpretation and conviction that I Corinthians 11:2-16 is a Godly mandate for the Church in every age.

The New Testament also talks a lot about slavery, but I don't believe that it's God's will for slavery to exist. My point is that it is my personal interpretation and conviction that I Corinthians 11:2-16 as far as head coverings was a cultural mandate during the first century.

But I do agree with you in that, I too believe that there are a lot of churches now days that do rely on tradition rather then the Word of God in their worship and practice.

Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. - Galatians 2:16
