Jesus was a Jew, preached primarily to Jews, observed the Jewish holidays and read from no other scriptures except the Old Testament. Christians are called to be "imitators of Christ". If Jesus is the Messiah prophesied in the Old Testament, then he is the Messiah of the Jews. Originally, all the first Christians were Jewish and were merely considered a sect of Judaism. They (and Jesus) worshipped in the temple right along side all the other Jews. It is the history of anti semitism within Christianity that eventually gave us an interpretation of Christianity that is devoid of its Jewish roots.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3454355557116314654.post-67538481885778414232019-06-16T14:09:02.306-07:002019-06-16T14:09:02.306-07:00After reading all the comments, my brain hurts so ...After reading all the comments, my brain hurts so bad, I need to take a nap!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02384149601878704469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3454355557116314654.post-39254500991035709862018-10-12T15:37:25.677-07:002018-10-12T15:37:25.677-07:00The Old Testament is really written by and for the...The Old Testament is really written by and for the Jews, Israelites, Hebrews.. called the Tanakh So none of this matters!yawn irvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12449490172713922512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3454355557116314654.post-10141006732369026692018-10-07T16:00:07.992-07:002018-10-07T16:00:07.992-07:00There are lots of different type of head covering ...There are lots of different type of head covering and designs this does not mean you are a Islam or Amish.

If you are wearing a head covering -- or not wearing one -- in order to honor God, I believe He understands this. This is not the big issue. What is? Micah 6:8: "What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?" <br /><br />Jesus said, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the law and the prophets.” Matthew 22:38-40<br /><br />What counts most is loving God and your neighbor. LOVE. KINDNESS. JUSTICE. MERCY. Christians, debate the smaller points if you/we must. But let's put the emphasis on the big ones! And calling believers that believe differently than you on things other than the big issues "false Christians" ... where is the love in that?<br /><br />My feeling (and I may be wrong) is that when I'm praying in a church where all the women keep their heads covered, that is the right thing for me to do.

There is absolutely a difference in the two words depending on how and where they are used. In Paul's writings about head coverings, the word shorn means to cut, while the word shaven means completely shaved. The woman's hair is a natural covering for her head, but in public worship a spiritual or material head covering is required. Whenever the scriptures speak to the point of a man or woman covering their head, it's always about a material covering. History has always known women of Israel and surrounding areas to cover their heads with a material covering. Another fact, if a man wore a hat or turban into the church sanctuary, he would be considered as covering his head. This is why men of age have always removed their hats when entering a church building. Young men today have not been taught correctly and this is why many of them don't remove their hats in the church or other buildings they enter. A lack of true spiritual teaching. All women should cover their heads in a church sanctuary as a sign they are under the authority of their husbands. Likewise when a woman is praying or prophesying in public worship she is required or commanded to be covered (material covering) to show her submission to both her husband and to angels. Lastly this author declared that any church that required head coverings were also in error about how to receive salvation. First of all, everyone must repent of their sins, it's impossible to be saved without repenting. The bible says, "Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish" (Luke 13: 3,5). Second of all the Bible says, "he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved" (Mark 16:16). Again the Bible says, "And now why tarriest thou, arise, and be baptized,and wash away thy sins calling on the name of the Lord" (Acts 22:16). Neither repentance nor baptism is a work of man, but rather an act of obedience and an act of faith. Much error is in this article, and those who don't have the wisdom or scriptural knowledge can be misled and deceived. The Word of God must be rightly divided. Otherwise men as this author can mislead you and cause much destruction.Maternity Nurse Educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06002482654189198576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3454355557116314654.post-58409244838434171282016-09-25T23:11:41.761-07:002016-09-25T23:11:41.761-07:00The title of your article is “Why Ladies Should No...The title of your article is “Why Ladies Should Not Wear Head-Coverings.” The problem here is that you did not give any reason why they should not wear one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3454355557116314654.post-27110970188931401502016-09-24T22:51:52.929-07:002016-09-24T22:51:52.929-07:00Zsuzsanna, I have done an independent study on thi...Zsuzsanna, I have done an independent study on this subject in a flow chart style with just verses and notes, if you would like to read it. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bx44W_xQvLzoWkxaMGlvaHV3VVk It seems to me that the problem is when people go beyond what the text says, or when they are confused by the Jewish men covering their heads--but they did not have Christ as their head, because it was before His time (and even now most of them reject Him, and they still cover their heads, don't they?) It is also very telling that the Roman Catholics teach salvation at least partly by works, along with so many other false teachings (praying to Mary, etc.), and the Pope, who is upheld by them to be the head of the church, covers his head to pray--an example of what not to do.LOFThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08470479616573404945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3454355557116314654.post-88382249656367862332016-08-30T13:33:46.544-07:002016-08-30T13:33:46.544-07:00I'm hesitant to wade into this debate. :-/
My ...I'm hesitant to wade into this debate. :-/<br />My husband and I have experienced what seems to be legitimate conviction in agreement with my use of head coverings. While seeking wisdom to test that conviction, this was one of the articles encountered. I am distressed by the unkind, mocking tone adopted in it, the lack of humility and poorly tracked points. More so, a vast portion of the conversation encouraged in the comments testifies to confusion, lack of brotherly love, and arrogance. I am sad to think unbelievers may come here and see such a lack of Christ's attributes in those who could easily be mistaken to be claiming they are foremost in the faith.<br /><br />I don't know Greek, but I disagree with the author that awareness of the root words is inconsequential. The differences in the two Greek words used to denote covering, along with the fact that Paul discusses baldness/short hair and lack of covering as distinct things seem to clearly denote that covering is additional to natural tresses.<br /><br />We are not here to win battles of personal bias, to be witnessed as the best moms of the most children, or those with the longest skirts and hair. We are here to glorify God out of intense love, not because we are good, but because He first loved us.

I'm dismayed to see that the writer seems to have approached the topic with a preset judgement and interpreted it to fit his opinion. This is what my Pentecostal church does, too, and I know it's only human to think in this way. Personally, head covering is important to me, even though it goes against many things I've been taught. I'm not even allowed to practice it at church. <br /><br />This passage was perfectly clear to me the first time I read it, which is why I can't understand why more people don't get what Paul was saying. Putting it into practice should be solid proof, anyway! Covering my head even in private has been such a blessing to me. It humbles me and reminds me that I am under God's authority. For does the Bible not say that no flesh shall glory in His presence? Even if the writer of this article were correct about the hair being a covering, the very same verse says that hair is the glory of the woman. Why would we not cover it in worship, in respect to God?<br /><br />Another thing: the reasons given for being against head covering are rather weak and grounded on personal bias alone. I promise that the majority of women who cover their heads are not looking for attention, but are doing it out of a heart of worship. Please don't make such wild assumptions on character! Not everyone who dresses in apparel you consider "holier-than-thou" is a Pharisee. Perhaps it's not them who needs to check their heart. As it asks in scripture (NOT verbatim!), who are you to judge a servant of the Master who is trying to be pleasing in His sight? Modesty does not mean blending in with the world.<br /><br />Dear sir, I implore you to go over these scriptures again with a more open heart and mind!

That's literally all that John the Baptist preached, and He was the fore-runner for Jesus. And we do need to surrender our lives to Christ, Jesus said to deny ourselves, pick up our crosses, and follow Him, and that our lives are not our own, they were bought with a price. And it is also said that faith without works is DEAD. Not dormant, dead. I don't mean to be rude, but I don't think the gospel is being accurately represented in this post. He saved us by grace, through faith, not by works so none can boast--SO we can do the good works He created us to do. (paraphrase of Eph. 2:8-10). <br />Are you saying all takes to be a Christian is just to believe in Christ? Because even the demons believe, and shudder. Works will come as an outflow of being changed by Jesus Christ, and if fruit doesn't come, how could it have been a transformation--if nothing changes?<br />Thoughts, anyone?Arianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10656129597502980828noreply@blogger.com
