The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum Head Coverings and more

I knew my last post would bring some objections. I do not propose that we use liberty for a reason to sin, I was only pointing out that I do not see that "not" wearing a head covering can be considered sin. I see it as a cultural requirement only. This does not negate the order of things, just that in our culture, a woman's subordination is shown differently. I personally believe that imposing such an archaic custom on females in the church would do more harm than good. We enter into the mindset of the Taliban when we press our women to do something that is contrary to our culture and has nothing to do with the SPIRIT of worship. As for Pilgrim's mention about Baptism, that is an ordinance established by our Lord, as is the Lord's supper. I didn't see anywhere where our Lord established the rule about head coverings.
