That's hardly the issue, but it is certainly a lame excuse. The hard questions to ask are:Another perspective on the head coverings could be cultural in nature
1. Is First Corinthians Scripture?
2. Is NT Scripture to be applied by Christians in every culture and every century until the Second Coming of Christ?
3. Is First Corinthians addressed to a church and teaching both church (assembly)doctrine and practice?
4. Does the Holy Spirit cause sixteen verses of Scripture to be penned only for first century Christians, and does Paul say that his teachings will be irrelevant after that?
5. Is Paul teaching Bible doctrine to support the Christian practice of head coverings for women? Is there much more here than meets the eye?
6. If certain Bible teachings are culture-dependent and others are not, who has the authority to determine what is what?
What has generally happend is that 1 Cor 11:1-16 has been arbitrarility dismissed by most evangelicals and fundamentalists, yet 1 Cor 11:17-34 is taken with complete earnestness and seriousness. Does that make any sense?
