Mujeres cristianas con velos en un servicio religioso de Pascua en San Petersburgo, Rusia

Quienes enseñan que las mujeres cristianas cubran la cabeza mientras “oran y profetizan” basan su argumento en 1 Corintios 11. [1]​ Las igllesias que enseñan que las mujeres deben cubrirse la cabeza en todo momento basan además esta doctrina en las enseñanzas de San Pablo de que los cristianos deben "orar sin cesar" (1 Tesalonicenses 5:17),[2][3]​la enseñanza de que el que las mujeres no lleven velo es deshonroso y como un reflejo del orden creado. [3][4]​Muchos eruditos bíblicos concluyen que en 1 Corintios 11 "los versículos 4-7 se refieren a un velo literal o cubierta de tela" para "orar y profetizar" y sostienen que el versículo 15 se refiere al cabello que la naturaleza le dio a la mujer.[5][6][7]​El velo de tela que se usaba en la iglesia primitiva era la práctica universal en los primeros siglos de la iglesia, enseñada universalmente por los Padres de la Iglesia y practicada por las mujeres cristianas a lo largo de la historia[5][8][9][10]​y que sigue siendo una práctica habitual entre los cristianos de muchas partes del mundo, como Rumania, Rusia, Ucrania, Egipto, Etiopía, India y Pakistán;[11][12][13][14][15]​Además, entre los anabaptistas conservadores, el velo se considera una ordenanza de la iglesia, y las mujeres lo usan durante todo el día.[16]​Sin embargo, en gran parte del mundo occidental la práctica de cubrirse la cabeza disminuyó durante el siglo XX y en las iglesias donde no se practica, el velo descrito en 1 Corintios 11 suele enseñarse como una práctica social para la época en la que se escribió el pasaje.[17][18]​ [[Categoría:Cristianismo y sociedad]] [[Categoría:Ética cristiana]] [[Categoría:Tocados religiosos]] [[Categoría:Primera epístola a los corintios]] [[Categoría:Cristianismo y mujeres]] [[Categoría:Oraciones cristianas]] [[Categoría:Anabaptismo]]

Consultado el 6 February 2016. «There is no contradiction between 1 Corinthians 11:5 of our chapter and 1 Corinthians 14:34, for the simple reason that there speaking in the assembly is in question, whereas in our chapter the assembly does not come into view until verse 1 Corinthians 11:17 is reached. Only then do we begin to consider things that may happen when we "come together." The praying or prophesying contemplated in verse 1 Corinthians 11:5 is not in connection with the formal assemblies of God's saints.»

ISBN 978-0-924722-06-6. «The historical evidence is strikingly clear. The record reveals that the early churches all understood Paul to be talking about a cloth veil, not long hair. ... Hippolytus, a leader in the church in Rome around the year 200, compiled a record of the various customs and practices in that church from the generations that preceded him. His Apostolic Tradition contains this statement: "And let all the women have their heads covered with an opaque cloth, not with a veil of thin linen, for this is not a true covering." This written evidence of the course of performance of the early Christians is corroborated by the archaeological record. The pictures we have from the second and third centuries from the catacombs and other places depict Christian women praying with a cloth veil on their heads. So the historical record is crystal clear. It reveals that the early generation of believers understood the head covering to be a cloth veil — not long hair.»

The words "for her long hair is given to her as a covering" (v. 15) "do not mean that the woman's hair is her covering and that she needs no veil, a view vitiating the force of 11:2-14." For example, if hair were the only covering referred to in this passage (11:1-16), then verse 6 would have to be translated "If a woman does not wear her hair, she should have to have her hair cut or shaved off, she should wear her hair," which is quite ludicrous. Two coverings are spoken of in the passage. This is established by the fact that two different Greek words ...»

Consultado el 1 February 2024. «For elderly women in a more conservative orthodox region in the Eastern part of Romania, called Moldova, or Western Moldavia, the batik is a sign of modesty and keeping up tradition. It is said to be the umbrella of God upon them, a piece of clothing that connects them with divinity. Women don’t need to worry about the way they arrange their hair, a mundane practice that would distance them from God. When I asked women in Moldova if they would go bareheaded if they had the choice, most of them refused to imagine this. Even today, the picture of bareheaded women is not accepted in the region of Moldova. The Western model of showing your hair, which is promoted by media, is associated with vanity.»

Consultado el 2 de mayo de 2022. «One of the most questioned practices in the New Testament in the modern day Western Church is the practice of Head Coverings for women. Yet to get perspective we need to look over the panoply of God's Church for 2000 years and see that this is not something new but old — and has been practiced diligently over the ages. It is hard to imagine but since the 1960s the Church almost entirely practiced this tradition. The influence of secular reasoning, feminism and liberal theology have led to the questioning and, ultimately, the casting aside of this practice in the Church at large in the evangelical world.»

ISBN 978-0-924722-06-6. «... one of the popular understandings today of 1 Corinthians 11 is that this was simply a first century cultural problem. Paul gave his instruction about the head covering because prostitues didn't wear headcoverings, and if the Christian women weren't veiled, they would be thought of as prostitutes. ... Yet, it is not based on any historical evidence whatsoever from the writings of the early Church. It is someone's sheer conjecture.»
