If a women pray or prophecy with her head uncovered she dishonereth her head(1 Cor 11:5) which is the man (1 Cor 11:3) and is as if she pray as one whose head is shaven( 1 Cor 11:5) for this cause a woman who prays without her head covered is to be shaven (1 Cor 11:6) but if it be a shame to be shaven let her instead cover her head when she pray (1 Cor 11:6). A woman's hair is her glory (1 Cor 11:15) and a woman also is the glory of the man (1 Cor 11:7) for this cause a woman is not to cut her hair, but if a man has long hair it is a shame unto him(1 Cor 11:14). If any man says otherwise or practice differently then they are not of God's Church ( 1 Cor 11:16). </p><p></p><p>2. Everything we do is supposed to be done for the Glory of the Lord God YHWH.

The answer is, it does not and can never have any part with righteousness. We know that the Lord has said we are not to adopt the customs/traditions of the heathens/ungodly.(Leviticus 18:2-4,Jer 10:2-3,8; Deut 12:29-32, 2 Cor 6:14-17, Eph 5:11-12) That we are instead to be seperate from the world.(1 John 2:15-17,3:1,4:4-8,16, John 17:1-26[Especially 12-19], 15:16-27, 2 Cor 6:17). We are supposed to be meek and humble (Matt 11:29, Col 3:12, 2 Cor 10:1, Zeph 2:3, 1 Peter 5:5-6, Gal 5:22-23, Psalm 25:9, Isaiah 66:2, Psalm 69:32, 1 Peter 3:4,15; Matt 5:3,5-8, Titus 3:2-4, Psalm 37:11, 2 Tim 2:22, James 4:6), not caring about the outward appearance (1 Peter 3:3-6, 1 Timothy 2:9-10, 1 Timothy 3:11, Titus 2:1-5), not giving any thought to what we might wear because the lord will provide as we have need (Matt 6:25-34, Luke 12:22-31), but instead we are supposed to care about the inward/spiritual beauty(1 Peter 3:4). Beauty of the flesh is vain(Proverbs 31:30-31;Jer 4:30), we are to glorify YHWH(1 Cor 10:31-11:1) not our own appearance(Ezekiel 28:15-17). In putting on costly array and painting your faces do you glorify the Lord or yourself(Hosea 2:13)? Did not the Lord make us in his own image(Genesis 1:27)? Did the Lord error when he made us(Psalm 139:14, Genesis 1:31) that we must distort or add to our appearance in order to be beautiful(1 Samuel 16:7)? We know that the Lord did not error in making us, we are all made in his image, we were made the way we are meant to be. </p><p></p><p>3. What gain is there in wearing Jewelry? When you wear jewelry we know that causes some people to sin(Ez 16:15-18). People will look upon those fine Jewels and be envious of them, they will be jealous of your possession. Are the Lords people supposed to make their brothers and sisters jealous of their wealth and cause them to stumble(Romans 14:13)? The money spent on these Jewels could feed many that are starving, provide shelter for those that have none, or even be spent on the sick and infirm. In wearing/purchasing your costly array you are saying that the needs of the Poor are out weighed by your own desire to look beautiful and be looked favorably upon by men. Does this sound like what the people of the Lord are supposed to do(Luke 18:18-23, Matt 19:21-23, Mark 10:21-23, Acts 20:33-35, 2 Cor 9:7, Luke 21:1-4, Luke 3:10-11)? Is this what the Apostles and Christ taught(Acts 2:44-45, Luke 12:33-34, James 1:26-27, 1 Cor 13:3)? No we are to be a meek people and the women especially are supposed to be modest and with all shamefacedness and sobriety(1 Timothy 2:9-10,15). To those that say but what of our wedding rings? Are these rings not a symbol of love for our spouse? The answer to which is no, a wedding band comes from paganism not the Lord. The symbol of your love for your spouse is carried with you wherever you go regardless of what Jewelry your wearing. When you marry you become as one flesh in the sight of the Lord(Mark 10:6-8, Genesis 2:22-24, Eph 5:28-31, Matt 19:4-5) it is a bond that no man on this earth can break(Mark 10:9, Matt 19:6). A ring can be removed, but what the Lord joins together no man can sever. So put off now your ornaments and follow the Lords commandments(Ex 33:3-6).</p><p></p><p>4. What gain is there in wearing Makeup? Wasn't it the Harlots, the harlots, and adulteresses who first painted their faces to appear more beautiful to entice men(Jeremiah 4:30, Rev 2:20-23, 1 Kings 16:31-33, 1 Kings 19:1-21, 1 Kings 18:4,13,19, 2 Kings 9:22, 29-37, Ez 23:38-44, Isaiah 3:16-24)? Every person who paints their face shows their own vanity, and their own pride and the Lord resists the proud(James 4:6-8, Psalm 138:6, Proverbs 8:13, 1 Peter 5:5, Isaiah 2:12, Isaiah 23:9, Proverbs 15:25). In glorifying their own beauty they take up the same mantle as those that came before(Ez 16:15-18): the harlot(Proverbs 7:10-12), and the adulteress, and Lucifer himself who through his own vanity and pride thought himself greater than God(Ez 28:15-17). Some people try to use (Esther 2:9,12) as proof that women can wear makeup saying that she had beauty treatments done to her that included putting on makeup, but when we look at the actual word used(Tamruq) we see the purification treatments did not include makeup. Just reading it in context we can see that these treatments were about purification and cleansing, not beauty and makeup.</p><p>Hebrew 8562 (Tamruq)</p><p>A scrapping, Rubbing</p><p>cleanse, thing for purification </p><p>Or tamruq {tam-rook'}; or tamriyq {tam-reek'}; from maraq; properly, a scouring, i.e. Soap or perfumery for the bath; figuratively, a detergent -- X cleanse, (thing for) purification(-fying). </p><p></p><p>5. We know from scripture that a woman must not wear that which pertaineth to a man nor a man that which pertaineth to a woman(Deut 22:5). Now during the time which that was written both men and women wore robes(2 Sam 13:18, Ex 28:4), but the robes they wore were different: the fabrics, the designs, and the length. Women's robes usually went down to their feet, but did not come above the ankles. Only men's robes(which were usually shorter to begin with) were allowed to be pulled up or Girded about(Job 38:3, Jer 1:17) but they still had to cover the thigh. Only men and more specifically priests were allowed to wear shorts(Breeches) but they had to cover the thigh or come to or past the knee(Ex 28:42, Lev 16:4, Ez 44:18). To uncover the thigh was to uncover ones nakedness(Isaiah 47:2-3,ex 28:42). Even as far back as Daniel's day men were wearing a form of pants called Hosen(Dan 3:21), but the women of the Lord were not. Women have always had separate clothing that was more modest than a man's clothing. During the time the new testament was written women wore many layers of clothing to cover themselves, clothes not showing shapely curves that might drive men to lust after them like the women of today do. Instead they were clothed in meekness and modesty, and were looked favorably upon, not by men, but by the Lord. This is the modest apparel that is being talked about in(1 Tim 2:9-12, 1 Peter 3:3-6, 1 tim 3:11, Titus 2:1-6). Just as the old testament said women are not to wear that which pertaineth to a man (Deut 22:5) the new testament likewise says women are to only wear that which becometh a woman (1 Timothy 2:10) not that which becometh a man. So now you know women should not wear pants or that which pertaineth to or becometh a man(Deut 22:5, 1 Timothy 2:10), but put on clothes that are womanly and modest that do not bring men to fall into sin through lust(Romans 14:13, Matt 5:28). </p><p></p><p>6.

If a change was to be made to the doctrine or if it were only for a time(as some claim the law was to change, or only for a time) then it would have been stated in the word that was written down and given to us in the bible, but no change was spoken of neither was there a time limit given. Instead we are told that if any man or any angel preach anything other than what we have been given he is to be accursed, and that we are to continue in the things we have learned and have been assured of knowing of whom we have learned them. </p><p>Declared all the counsel of God(Acts 20:26-28)</p><p>Continued in Doctrine of the Apostles(Acts 2:42)</p><p>Hold Fast to the Doctrine(Titus 1:9)</p><p>Paul has Planted the word(2 Thess 3:6)</p><p>Hold Fast to the word and Tradtions we have been taught(2 Thess 2:14-17)</p><p>Doctrine of Christ(2 John 9-10)</p><p>Oberserve these things(2 Tim 5:21)</p><p>Be mindful of the words spoken by the prophets and the commandments of the Apostles and Christ(2 Peter 3:1-2, 15-18)</p><p>Keep the sound words given by Paul(1 Timohty 1:13-14)</p><p>Fully known the Doctrine, continue in things learned(2 Tim 3:10, 14-15)</p><p>Laws of God (Rom 13:2,9-10)</p><p>Stablish according to the Gospel and preaching of Christ(Romans 16:25-27)</p><p>Fully preached the Gospel of Christ(Romans 15:19,29)</p><p>Acknowledge things spoken as commandments of the Lord(1 Cor 14:37)</p><p>Gospel received by Revelation of Christ(Gal 1:6-12)</p><p>Christ the same today yesterday and tomorrow, so to is the word of God the same.

[QUOTE="StephenDiscipleofYHWH, post: 73009001, member: 411335"] A woman or even a man should not braid or plate their hair since the only commandment given in the New testament is against it(1 Peter 3:3; 1 Timothy 2:9-10) and nothing else is said on the matter. So we must obey the only law given on the subject. Here is a short study concerning what a woman should wear concerning makeup, Jewelry, covering their head when they pray, Etc. 1. Women are to cover their heads whenever they are praying or prophesying(1 Cor 11:5-10, 13-15). We know that if a man prays or prophecy while his head is covered he dishonors his head (1 Cor 11:4,7) forasmuch is he the image and glory of God(Cor 11:7) to pray or prophecy with his head covered is to dishonor Christ (1 Cor 11:3) which is the head of every man. If a women pray or prophecy with her head uncovered she dishonereth her head(1 Cor 11:5) which is the man (1 Cor 11:3) and is as if she pray as one whose head is shaven( 1 Cor 11:5) for this cause a woman who prays without her head covered is to be shaven (1 Cor 11:6) but if it be a shame to be shaven let her instead cover her head when she pray (1 Cor 11:6). A woman's hair is her glory (1 Cor 11:15) and a woman also is the glory of the man (1 Cor 11:7) for this cause a woman is not to cut her hair, but if a man has long hair it is a shame unto him(1 Cor 11:14). If any man says otherwise or practice differently then they are not of God's Church ( 1 Cor 11:16). 2. Everything we do is supposed to be done for the Glory of the Lord God YHWH. We are to abstain from all appearances of evil and be holy and acceptable as we are the temple of the Lord. Whatsoever you do, do in the name in of the Lord. Colossians 3:17, 23-24 All things done to edifying. 1 Cor 14:26 Do all to glory God. 1 Cor 10:31-11:1 Holy and acceptable(living sacrifice). Romans 12:1 Absatian from all appearance of evil. 1 Thess 5:22 We are the temple of the Lord. Acts 7:47-50, Acts 17:23-25, 1 Cor 3:8-11, 16-17, 1 Cor 6:13,15, 17-20, 1 John 3:24, 1 John 4:14-15, 2 Cor 6:16. What part has righteousness with unrighteousness? The answer is, it does not and can never have any part with righteousness. We know that the Lord has said we are not to adopt the customs/traditions of the heathens/ungodly.(Leviticus 18:2-4,Jer 10:2-3,8; Deut 12:29-32, 2 Cor 6:14-17, Eph 5:11-12) That we are instead to be seperate from the world.(1 John 2:15-17,3:1,4:4-8,16, John 17:1-26[Especially 12-19], 15:16-27, 2 Cor 6:17). We are supposed to be meek and humble (Matt 11:29, Col 3:12, 2 Cor 10:1, Zeph 2:3, 1 Peter 5:5-6, Gal 5:22-23, Psalm 25:9, Isaiah 66:2, Psalm 69:32, 1 Peter 3:4,15; Matt 5:3,5-8, Titus 3:2-4, Psalm 37:11, 2 Tim 2:22, James 4:6), not caring about the outward appearance (1 Peter 3:3-6, 1 Timothy 2:9-10, 1 Timothy 3:11, Titus 2:1-5), not giving any thought to what we might wear because the lord will provide as we have need (Matt 6:25-34, Luke 12:22-31), but instead we are supposed to care about the inward/spiritual beauty(1 Peter 3:4). Beauty of the flesh is vain(Proverbs 31:30-31;Jer 4:30), we are to glorify YHWH(1 Cor 10:31-11:1) not our own appearance(Ezekiel 28:15-17). In putting on costly array and painting your faces do you glorify the Lord or yourself(Hosea 2:13)? Did not the Lord make us in his own image(Genesis 1:27)? Did the Lord error when he made us(Psalm 139:14, Genesis 1:31) that we must distort or add to our appearance in order to be beautiful(1 Samuel 16:7)? We know that the Lord did not error in making us, we are all made in his image, we were made the way we are meant to be. 3. What gain is there in wearing Jewelry? When you wear jewelry we know that causes some people to sin(Ez 16:15-18). People will look upon those fine Jewels and be envious of them, they will be jealous of your possession. Are the Lords people supposed to make their brothers and sisters jealous of their wealth and cause them to stumble(Romans 14:13)? The money spent on these Jewels could feed many that are starving, provide shelter for those that have none, or even be spent on the sick and infirm. In wearing/purchasing your costly array you are saying that the needs of the Poor are out weighed by your own desire to look beautiful and be looked favorably upon by men. Does this sound like what the people of the Lord are supposed to do(Luke 18:18-23, Matt 19:21-23, Mark 10:21-23, Acts 20:33-35, 2 Cor 9:7, Luke 21:1-4, Luke 3:10-11)? Is this what the Apostles and Christ taught(Acts 2:44-45, Luke 12:33-34, James 1:26-27, 1 Cor 13:3)? No we are to be a meek people and the women especially are supposed to be modest and with all shamefacedness and sobriety(1 Timothy 2:9-10,15). To those that say but what of our wedding rings? Are these rings not a symbol of love for our spouse? The answer to which is no, a wedding band comes from paganism not the Lord. The symbol of your love for your spouse is carried with you wherever you go regardless of what Jewelry your wearing. When you marry you become as one flesh in the sight of the Lord(Mark 10:6-8, Genesis 2:22-24, Eph 5:28-31, Matt 19:4-5) it is a bond that no man on this earth can break(Mark 10:9, Matt 19:6). A ring can be removed, but what the Lord joins together no man can sever. So put off now your ornaments and follow the Lords commandments(Ex 33:3-6). 4. What gain is there in wearing Makeup? Wasn't it the Harlots, the harlots, and adulteresses who first painted their faces to appear more beautiful to entice men(Jeremiah 4:30, Rev 2:20-23, 1 Kings 16:31-33, 1 Kings 19:1-21, 1 Kings 18:4,13,19, 2 Kings 9:22, 29-37, Ez 23:38-44, Isaiah 3:16-24)? Every person who paints their face shows their own vanity, and their own pride and the Lord resists the proud(James 4:6-8, Psalm 138:6, Proverbs 8:13, 1 Peter 5:5, Isaiah 2:12, Isaiah 23:9, Proverbs 15:25). In glorifying their own beauty they take up the same mantle as those that came before(Ez 16:15-18): the harlot(Proverbs 7:10-12), and the adulteress, and Lucifer himself who through his own vanity and pride thought himself greater than God(Ez 28:15-17). Some people try to use (Esther 2:9,12) as proof that women can wear makeup saying that she had beauty treatments done to her that included putting on makeup, but when we look at the actual word used(Tamruq) we see the purification treatments did not include makeup. Just reading it in context we can see that these treatments were about purification and cleansing, not beauty and makeup. Hebrew 8562 (Tamruq) A scrapping, Rubbing cleanse, thing for purification Or tamruq {tam-rook'}; or tamriyq {tam-reek'}; from maraq; properly, a scouring, i.e. Soap or perfumery for the bath; figuratively, a detergent -- X cleanse, (thing for) purification(-fying). 5. We know from scripture that a woman must not wear that which pertaineth to a man nor a man that which pertaineth to a woman(Deut 22:5). Now during the time which that was written both men and women wore robes(2 Sam 13:18, Ex 28:4), but the robes they wore were different: the fabrics, the designs, and the length. Women's robes usually went down to their feet, but did not come above the ankles. Only men's robes(which were usually shorter to begin with) were allowed to be pulled up or Girded about(Job 38:3, Jer 1:17) but they still had to cover the thigh. Only men and more specifically priests were allowed to wear shorts(Breeches) but they had to cover the thigh or come to or past the knee(Ex 28:42, Lev 16:4, Ez 44:18). To uncover the thigh was to uncover ones nakedness(Isaiah 47:2-3,ex 28:42). Even as far back as Daniel's day men were wearing a form of pants called Hosen(Dan 3:21), but the women of the Lord were not. Women have always had separate clothing that was more modest than a man's clothing.

Instead they were clothed in meekness and modesty, and were looked favorably upon, not by men, but by the Lord. This is the modest apparel that is being talked about in(1 Tim 2:9-12, 1 Peter 3:3-6, 1 tim 3:11, Titus 2:1-6). Just as the old testament said women are not to wear that which pertaineth to a man (Deut 22:5) the new testament likewise says women are to only wear that which becometh a woman (1 Timothy 2:10) not that which becometh a man. So now you know women should not wear pants or that which pertaineth to or becometh a man(Deut 22:5, 1 Timothy 2:10), but put on clothes that are womanly and modest that do not bring men to fall into sin through lust(Romans 14:13, Matt 5:28). 6. The Apostles and Christ fully preached the doctrine and traditions of Christ. If a change was to be made to the doctrine or if it were only for a time(as some claim the law was to change, or only for a time) then it would have been stated in the word that was written down and given to us in the bible, but no change was spoken of neither was there a time limit given. Instead we are told that if any man or any angel preach anything other than what we have been given he is to be accursed, and that we are to continue in the things we have learned and have been assured of knowing of whom we have learned them. Declared all the counsel of God(Acts 20:26-28) Continued in Doctrine of the Apostles(Acts 2:42) Hold Fast to the Doctrine(Titus 1:9) Paul has Planted the word(2 Thess 3:6) Hold Fast to the word and Tradtions we have been taught(2 Thess 2:14-17) Doctrine of Christ(2 John 9-10) Oberserve these things(2 Tim 5:21) Be mindful of the words spoken by the prophets and the commandments of the Apostles and Christ(2 Peter 3:1-2, 15-18) Keep the sound words given by Paul(1 Timohty 1:13-14) Fully known the Doctrine, continue in things learned(2 Tim 3:10, 14-15) Laws of God (Rom 13:2,9-10) Stablish according to the Gospel and preaching of Christ(Romans 16:25-27) Fully preached the Gospel of Christ(Romans 15:19,29) Acknowledge things spoken as commandments of the Lord(1 Cor 14:37) Gospel received by Revelation of Christ(Gal 1:6-12) Christ the same today yesterday and tomorrow, so to is the word of God the same. (Hebrews 13:8-9) Keep the Commandments given by Christ(John 14:21,23, Matt 28:20) Holy word of God is of no private interpretation (2 Peter 1:20-21) [/QUOTE]
