Head Covering.

[catlover]

I received a conservative Mennonite tape through the mail.

Much of it had to do with the gentleman leaving the military, but this gentleman also had issues with women covering their heads.

Can someone explain this issue?

Another issue the gentleman brought up was "sobriety". What is the problem with sharing a laugh with someone?

Have a look through older threads. There are some clearly marked as questions about head covering.

This might help you to get an overview of the diversity of opinion.

As for sobriety...I know there were debates that Jesus never laughed during the turbulance of the later middle ages. Could you give a little more information so it is possible to grasp the context this phrase was used.?

The gentleman was talking about how he sometimes shoots out funny "one liner" jokes..and how it's not appropriate.

In my opinion, as long as the humor is clean it's not so bad. Of course I do laugh at some course jokes~

John MacArthur explains the joke thing rather well from the Greek. It is to do with coarse, badwy joking if one word is used (sorry I remember the gist of what he said but not the specifics) & witty innuendo if another word is used. Both forms of humour are condemed in scripture, but there is nothing against good clean humour.

I though sobriety was to do with the abstinence from alcohol. Wrong again, wrong again.
