Because Genesis 24:64,65, Numbers 5:18, Isaiah 47:2 plus the Song of Solomon all speaks about it in terms of modesty....... It has nothing to due with cultural norms.......
It says in Isaiah 47 Remove thy Veil.... Show thy nakedness...
That is modesty and this is outside of worship...... Only Corinthians 11 passage speaks about it in terms of prayer... I am not convinced that it speaks of worship directly, but the woman should aleast be covered in worship because of prayer and the reading of the scriptures... But the other passages are outside the context of worship and prayer but deal directly with modesty...... Quote:
