The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum Head coverings

If you are truly convicted that Scripture teaches that women should wear a headcovering and men should not, then you MUST practice it regardless of what your local church prescribes. What many (most?) don't realize is that the practice of headcoverings has a very long history as well as the biblical ground it is founded upon. In David Silversides' article here: Is Headcovering Biblical?, he provides quite a list of people and churches back as far as the Reformation which enjoined headcoverings for women in the church. It wasn't until fairly recently that this practice was rejected along with many other biblical teachings which the Protestant Church had before taught and practiced. The modern church for the most part has lost its 'first love' and that is one of the main reasons that 'contemporary worship' is so widespread among other things which have either no biblical support or that are even in direct violation of biblical teaching.
