Veiling, a Christian practice based upon scripture for almost 2000 years, until modern feminist pride said "no" to those scriptures, and OTHERS.
The Holy Spirit through Paul instructs Christian women to wear a head covering in church when they pray and prophesy (1 Corinthians 11). Before you say that was only for the church in Corinth, read it again. Paul tells us that all the churches had the practice. Also, one reason for women covering her head relates to the Angels. Certainly that feature makes it a timeless fixture that does not pass away, like some fashion trend. So we should hold to this Christian tradition, just as we do Communion. Some faith traditions obey in love and hold to this beautiful practice of worship. Many dismiss it.
To say that not veiling is a sin may or may not be correct. But it is correct to say that when we ignore certain instructions in the Bible that we fall into sin. To satisfy feminist pride, we have set aside so many scriptures. Where does that stop? This deconstruction and / or ignoring of scripture, it has not stopped. And, now it is a fact that there are people that call themselves Christian that do not even know if gay sex is a sin or not.
In these times, we dress casually for church. In the past, we dressed up for church. It's telling that we dress up for important things, like weddings, anniversaries, & funerals, but not church. Going to church is no longer a serious matter, nor is understanding and obeying the scriptures. We are casual with our dress, only wearing what we like. We are causal with the scriptures, only applying what we like. And parts of the Bible are just ignored. Veiling. Authority of a man. Submission. Marriage & sex between man and woman. There has been a cascading effect, and these scriptures are all too often ignored:
For starters, I think we all should do this: Study your Bible with other Christians. Understand it and apply it according to the long-time and traditional way, and not according to these liberal and modern ways that actually DECONSTRUCT the true meaning of scripture with weird social contexts and dubious / spurious ancient Greek translations, so as to appease some feminist pride and/or gay pride agenda. Read the Church Fathers, that will help too.
Do you think all Christians should go back to the Christian custom of a woman covering her head in church? Men dressing up again might help support and encourage the practice. How can we in good conscience set aside the Holy Spirit's instructions through Paul, while seeing around us all the ripple-effects of our disobedience?
I made this art of my wife wearing a head covering. It is an idealized & artistic depiction of her, from about 20 years ago.
