Don't you mean your teaching?
No Selene
Read the posts and see the principles of the head covering explained - this is not a difficult teaching; even Paul spells out headship without ambiguity in the initial verses of 1 Cor 11. I am still to hear your thoughts on them.
Not all the Protestants under this thread said the same things as you did.
Yes, but their sentiment comes through loud and clear. But if you disagree by all means put your understanding forward.
What I find ironic is that you are saying that the Protestants have the correct teaching on head coverings; yet, you do not even realize that many Catholic women are the ones wearing the head covering.
I didn't say Catholics do not wear head coverings.
In fact, many Catholics in the non-English speaking countries still wear head coverings today. How many Protestant women in your church do you see wearing head coverings?
Every sister in our ecclesia wears a head covering because they are taught the principles which have been partly expounded in this thread.
There are still some Catholic women in my Church who still wear the veil. I am one of them. Head coverings among Protestants are very rare whereas many Catholic women to this day still wear the head coverings. In fact, Catholic nuns wear the head coverings, which we call the habit. It is very rare for Protestant women to wear head coverings; yet, you claim that Protestants have the correct teaching on head coverings.
I agree with you entirely...few Christian women wear head coverings today - that's why its so encouraging to hear sisters here expressing an understanding which prompts them to cover their heads. Putting to side the fashion customs of day they can still see the spiritual significance in doing so.
But lets make one thing very clear about this discussion - 1 Cor 11 is NOT about women wearing hats or veils - its about headship!
As such she wears “a sign of authority” cp AV mg OR Power = “Exousia” – privilege, authority
Its used 98 times…always trans. “authority”
This symbol shows your willing, joyful acceptance of God’s role for you. Your covering is a symbol of your “power” or privilege to demonstrate the relationship of the ecclesia to Christ.
This is something a man (I) cannot do.
If the sister understood the incredible privilege she has been given to do something the men in her present cannot - humbling to say the least.
I should add to this Selene that God took away the multitude of shadows, types, ceremonial law and all the symbolic details of the Law of Moses; most of which the RCC has emulated in their false worship.
ONLY 3 Symbols remain for NT ecclesia's
1.Baptism
2.Bread and Wine
3.Head Covering
