Here is the breakdown of the subject...

First of all, this statement falls under the category of an ordinance...

[color:"brown"]"Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you."[/color]
(1 Corinthians 11:2)

An ordinance is not a law. It is not even a statue. It is instead something that is ordinarily done in a culture; an ordinance—and ordinary practice.

Secondly; The practice...

The wearing of a covering was a symbol and ordinary practice in that time. It could be compared to the practice of wearing a wedding ring today.

You could ask what people would begin to think of you if you removed your wedding ring every time you went out to a bar. That is a sign and a symbol that we would recognize today as dishonorable.

Very simple really.

What is also shameful is when people defame the Bible when they have no knowledge of it. When that type of blind slander is levied against the evolution myth, people are called hypocrites.

Let me ask, is is unreasonable to call a person a hypocrite for calling someone else a hypocrite for something the person themselves are doing?


By the way, the wearing of a ring used to be a symbol of slavery, as was the piercing of the ears.
