Should women have their heads covered in worship?
Hey, I don't think I ever posted on page seven of a thread before.
Point is, since God has clearly commanded it, it can't be cultural, as shown here is it based in headship and order, we have no other new modern cultural way to show it.
As for the jewels in the hair, it obviously is a separate issue about adornment and modesty etc. having nothing to do with covering in public worship while praying or participating in the preaching.
Remember many women did usually cover their hair all day, but Paul says it is for sure to be done by all while praying or prophesying in church.
Should a women choose to cover her head all day then obviously she would not be the one out showing off the jewels in her hair or her fancy hairdo. That would be addressed to women who were not covered in other places. Many of the liberal Greeks and other Gentiles did not cover their heads all day and they were worldly and wore jewels and hairdos to show off. These would be the ones addressed.
Sounds like you restrict the admonition to women who adorn their hairdos ostentatiously to Greek or other Gentile women. Apparently, you believe "many women did usually cover their head all day." Do you have any kind of archaeological proof (i.e., statues, artwork, etc.) that would support that argument? I'm not sure we can assume that most women wore a head covering in public and in public worship in ancient times simply because women in the middle East wear a physical covering today.
