"Should Christian Women also wear the Religious Head Covering"

Among conservatives, most people are quite defensive for the beliefs of the group they have chosen to identify with. Cultural biases become deeply ingrained and are difficult to inspect. They may feel that only other groups have cultured and become cults.

A story tells about a missionary, who attempted to correct some primitive natives in their established belief of elephant wisdom. Whenever an elephant attempted to attack a hunter, they believed that his wife was being unfaithful and therefore she was punished. After the missionary gave an extended logical explanation of their error, they simply said, “Do you think that you know better than the elephant?”

Jesus had his greatest conflicts with the established religious beliefs of the leaders of God’s chosen people. He said, “You reject the commandments of God that you may keep your own traditions.” (Mk.7:9) They had added hundreds of detailed laws and felt they had improved some difficult portions. They meant well and their belief system was well established, but it had slowly shifted away from God’s purpose.

Are we any better? While the Bible clearly states , there shall be no divisions in the true Church that Jesus is building, we justify our denominational sects with petty religious issues. How this must grieve our Lord who prayed; “That all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.”

I, personally feel there are a number of crucial keys to unlock the mysteries of 1 Cor. 11a, which have been overlooked. The writers of more recent translations have instead altered the message to have it make sense.. If you are a truth seeker, please read on and make your own judgments.
