What I meant was when it says the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God, it is talking about authority, a God-assigned order of creation. It is difficult to conceive of it in this day and age, but only a hundred years ago, the principle was understood and even found in legal systems. It has been steadily eroded throughout the 20th century, not only in legal systems but in many churches that are no longer "of God."
Islam is based on legalism and justification by law. It is a throwback to judaism, but with an alternative law. It is not based in faith. Islam does not accept the order of God, where women have a right of divorce.
Head coverings are only one way that the woman shows the authority of the man. The point of it seems to be that it is necessary when approaching the throne of God and relating to God, to have a visible manifestation or acknowledgement of God's order, to prove what is being done is being done in the name of God at all.
The pagan priestesses did not do it, but had shaved heads. Religious deception is everywhere. So many "women priests" are in it for themselves and are not "of God."
Except that in the congregation time is short. Having been to all sorts of churches, I can honestly say that going to a tongue speaking church is just a waste of time. I'd much rather go to a church where people spoke and could be understood.
1Co 14:5
I would like every one of you to speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy. The one who prophesies is greater than the one who speaks in tongues, unless someone interprets, so that the church may be edified.
And then what do people who speak in tongues actually want? They want to monopolize the whole show. There are women who keep up a monotonous babble for 1/2 the service. It's like a mad house. Count me out. Really I can see the point but the point is also that it is frequently vainglorious. Even the interpretations hardly warrant being heard as they make no sense other than what is mundane.
Christianity is reliant on learning, knowledge, wisdom, These are the things that should be prioritized in the congregation, not vainglorious tongue speaking that as you say, it may edify you, but there a 100 other people in the church who may not want to hear you. And then there is the problem that in tongue speaking churches, there is often no attempt to obey 1 Cor 11, often legalism such as tithing, back-biting. i went to one Pentecostal church and a lot of time was given over to rebuking people. What sort of church is that?
