Do all women need a "covering"? And what is a "covering"?

For if the woman be not covered, (katakalyptō) veiled, something obscuring the sight of her head

let her also be shorn: If her hair was the covering, why is she getting her head shaved here? Because the hair on her head is not the covering referenced in the earlier passages. A veil is the covering.

but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered. (katakalyptō) veiled, something obscuring the sight of her head
 
My take that I get out of this passage: head covering is a ordinance. Paul was not telling them to put on their covering but rather that they don't take them off. The Corinthian women knew it was not lawful to pray or prophesy in the presence of men so they would uncover when doing so with the women seeing they were not in the presence of men. Paul tells them they still need to cover because of the angels which are referred to as men in the Bible. So in reality they were still in the presence of men. I also know that just because a woman wears a covering doesn't mean she's not a feminist at heart
I don't know where in left field you found this... Citation needed...
 
BLB, using the Greek language that they translated it from. Not 1 verse used anywhere in the new Testament uses this verse as a physical covering. Unless you want to use it in this Corinthians passage this way.

Your interpretation is not supported by the scriptures. Let me ask you this.
What year did it become shameful for a man to cover his head and pray? Was it always?

Where is this tradition showed in the scripture that Paul was supposedly teaching?

Did Paul really learn something contrary to the Torah? And then teach it to others? Why are there men with coverings praying and prophesying in the bible?
You’re attacking and attacking but you’re not defending. I’ve answered every objection you’ve thrown at me but you won’t address one that relates to your side. You just keep morphing your stance and attack again.

That’s a great strategy in some instances but not this one. You have major contradictions you can’t address. You need to address them.

I don’t know where the tradition started or why. I know where it is in scripture though, 1 Corinthians 11. Either the book of Corinthians is false and not scripture or there was a tradition as stated. You can’t argue in good faith that there wasn’t a tradition as stated in 1 Corinthians 11.

I’m still not sure what you’re seeing here. I see some simple action items I can easily apply in my family. Perfect understanding will come eventually. But perfect obedience should happen as soon as possible.
 
James, you're giving us a prime example of eisegesis. You decided in your mind that the passage was about authority over a man. If I had to guess, this stemmed from earlier this year when you had difficulties surrounding other men claiming they held authority over your decisions. You rightly rejected their false claim of authority over you and that need for independence has colored your perception of this passage.

Read the usages of the word Katakalypto and Kata. It does symbolize authority, but it is a literal, physical thing that covers another thing. It's a badger skin, a veil, a skirt, a blanket, a layer of fat that covers internal organs. You can't get around the simple fact that the word means some physical thing that covers/obscures from view.

You have not defined the word kata that appears in verse 4.

You have not defined the use of authority or power in verse 10.

If your exegesis leads you to something contradicting the scriptures, then you have not done exegesis.

Does your exegesis of this passage contradict other scriptures?

If you refuse to see this any other way than a literal cloth, then at least have enough consistency to teach it as a veil.

I've answered all the questions you have sent me. You just skipped the majority of mine because you can't answer them. Just as with Nick, if you refuse to see this any other way, at least be consistent enough to teach it as a veil that covers the head.
 
This was shared here before, but it is kind of interesting when trying to get an understanding of the thought process behind the words.

When I get time I will take a look!
 
Are you going to respond or deflect again? Cause you're not responding to the obvious translation of the words. You keep deflecting to a word that means drawn down, or accordingly or privately, or in the same way. Seeing as how he was talking about a woman covering her head, it makes sense for him to be speaking about a man doing the same thing. "According to".

The KJV translates Strong's G2596 in the following manner: according to (107x), after (61x), against (58x), in (36x), by (27x), daily (with G2250) (15x), as (11x), miscellaneous (165x).

There. I responded to your question even though you refused to respond to mine. My exegesis does not conflict with anything in scripture I can find. Yours conflicts with clear word usage. Will you respond to the clear translation of the covering of a woman being a physical covering? It's not authority, that's not what scripture says. You are forcing that interpretation.

I'll choose deflect until you define authority in verse 10. The "authority or power" that a woman should have over her head.

And yes it does contradict. If its shameful for a man to pray with his head covered then the Aaronic blessing was done shamefully.
 
You have not defined the word kata that appears in verse 4.
I did, you can too by looking up the greek and comparing it in LXX OT usage as I did.
You have not defined the use of authority or power in verse 10.
Your wording is wrong here. There is no "use of authority". The context in the whole passage is clearly a covering/veil over the woman's head as a symbol of her husband's authority and covering over her. Asked and answered a dozen times already. You just refuse the clear contextual answer.
If your exegesis leads you to something contradicting the scriptures, then you have not done exegesis.
Nothing contradicts scripture except your refusal to read the clear language and change that meaning into something different.
Does your exegesis of this passage contradict other scriptures?
No.
If you refuse to see this any other way than a literal cloth, then at least have enough consistency to teach it as a veil.
It is not exclusively a veil as I've demonstrated and as you could easily see yourself if you simply look at the word usage in the LXX.

You're choosing to not answer the clear rebuttals of your belief because it destroys your argument.

No it is not if the Levites were given specific and separate commands, you know full well they were set apart and given different clothing to wear, and specific different laws to abide by. This is a false comparison fallacy.

There, I answered all of your claims despite your refusal to answer any of mine. Be honorable and defend your position instead of running away and moving the goalposts.

How is that “consistent”? Why would it be a veil? It says head not face. We had this debate years ago. @FollowingHim took this stance and memories may differ but I don’t remember it going well for him.

You have the contradictions. You can’t tell us why the passage is limited to prayer and prophesy if it has universal and constant application.

You can’t tell us how a man could somehow put off Christ’s headship when he wasn’t praying or how a woman could put off her husband when she wasn’t praying.

You haven’t addressed why the whole passage has such a focus on hair from start to finish.

You won’t address what the implications are for the integrity of scripture if there is no such tradition.

You haven’t told us how a physical covering would violate other scripture.

You haven’t shown us passages of men praying with their head covered or women with theirs uncovered.

All you’ve done is sneered at people who won’t blindly accept a shockingly weak idea.

Defend your position. The only reason to attack when you should defend is because your opinion is indefensible.
 
Until those questions are answered, I'll not waste my time anymore. Shalom brother :)
 
I've answered all the questions you have sent me. You just skipped the majority of mine because you can't answer them. Just as with Nick, if you refuse to see this any other way, at least be consistent enough to teach it as a veil that covers the head.
What questions have I skipped? Give me the list, I’ll go through them. Where are your answers to why a verse with universal application is limited in the text? Show me the quote. I’ll apologize.

You have baggage with this issue somewhere young man and it’s clouding your judgement.

The verse limits its own application. It can not then apply all the time or it becomes self contradictory. You have to resolve that issue or everything else you say is moot.

And you do remember this isn’t a command right? It’s not a command about head covering and it’s not a command about anything else. You can’t make it a command. It’s a teaching on a tradition. So it can never be what you’re trying to make it, a command that a woman must always have a male covering.

Which is a stupid idea anyway because we’ve already shown that elderly widows don’t and that there’s been no provision for orphaned single ladies. Cue Beyoncé, I’ll accept my apology now.

 
Why would it be a veil? It says head not face. We had this debate years ago. @FollowingHim took this stance and memories may differ but I don’t remember it going well for him.
Since you mention it, here is that old discussion, for those who want to dig into this issue. I still think it's a good option to ponder and does help to clarify some elements of the passage.

Since you wont show its use it context, I'll just leaves this here. This word appears as power or authority in verse 10. Scholars add "token of". Verse 3 starts off with headship and this ends with headship. The word in verse 10 os never used to represent a physical covering in any passage in the NT.

What year did it become shameful for a man to cover his head and pray? Was it always?

Did Paul really learn something contrary to the Torah? And then teach it to others? Why are there men with coverings praying and prophesying in the bible?

What questions have I skipped? Give me the list, I’ll go through them. Where are your answers to why a verse with universal application is limited in the text? Show me the quote. I’ll apologize.

Can you rephrase or elaborate your question of why a verse with universal application is limited in the text. ?
 
Since you wont show its use it context, I'll just leaves this here. This word appears as power or authority in verse 10. Scholars add "token of". Verse 3 starts off with headship and this ends with headship. The word in verse 10 os never used to represent a physical covering in any passage in the NT.

You’re confused again. The instructions on head covering are in verses 4-7, not verse 10. You’re fixated on 10. The action items are in 4-7.
 
No breaks brother, it just flows. Verse 10 says because of this. Because of what? Read it in context.

6for if a woman is not covered -- then let her be shorn, and if it is a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven -- let her be covered;

7for a man, indeed, ought not to cover the head, being the image and glory of God, and a woman is the glory of a man,

8for a man is not of a woman, but a woman is of a man,

9for a man also was not created because of the woman, but a woman because of the man;

10because of this the woman ought to have a token of authority upon the head, because of the messengers;

11but neither is a man apart from a woman, nor a woman apart from a man, in the Lord,

12for as the woman is of the man, so also the man is through the woman, and the all things are of God.

13¶In your own selves judge ye; is it seemly for a woman uncovered to pray to God?

14doth not even nature itself teach you, that if a man indeed have long hair, a dishonour it is to him?

15and a woman, if she have long hair, a glory it is to her, because the hair instead of a covering hath been given to her;

16and if any one doth think to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the assemblies of God.
