Following up our explanation of why head coverings matter in the new covenant age, we consider several objections — and even more questions — to flesh out the exegetical case, and apply it to modern life.
Objections answered:
1. It’s just cultural [00:02:08]
2. The hair is the covering [00:15:32]
3. Prayer and prophecy doesn’t mean worship, but spiritual gifts [00:17:23]
4. We can’t know what Paul really means, so we can’t be dogmatic about following it [00:27:14]
5. Men being uncovered doesn’t fit with men wearing crowns [00:28:45]
6. Nothing can “compete” with God’s glory [00:29:44]
Questions answered:
1. What does “on account of the angels” mean though? [00:31:54]
2. When and where should we cover? Only in worship, or during any religious activity? [00:33:50]
3. So we cover the covering? [00:36:56]
4. How much should we cover? [00:37:44]
5. What about the braided hair passages? [00:40:24]
6. What about dyeing your hair? [00:43:37]
7. How long should hair be? [00:45:57]
8. Is covering only for the married? [00:51:16]
9. How to answer non-head-coverers saying, “So you think I’m sinning?” [00:54:59]
10. Have you heard that covering should actually be translated testicle? [00:59:03]
11. Do you think Eve would have covered, either before or after the fall? [01:02:18]
