There is a lot of controversy and misunderstanding about 1
Corinthians 11:2-16 and the subject of women wearing a head covering. Below is part of a message that was preached
by John Calvin on this subject, it is very profound and it has come about
completely… I have also created a couple
links that lead to messages on this subject that are very informative.
John Calvin (1509-1564)
The theologian of the Reformation preached three sermons
from 1 Corinthians 11:2-16 from which the following excerpts are taken.
"So if women are thus permitted to have their heads
uncovered and to show their hair, they will eventually be allowed to expose their
entire chest, and they will come to make their exhibitions as if it were a
tavern show; they will become so brazen that modesty and shame will be no more;
in short they will forget the duty of nature….So, when it is permissible for
the women to uncover their heads, one will say, 'Well, what harm in uncovering
the stomach also?' And then after that one will plead [for] something else:
'Now if the women go bareheaded, why not also [bare] this and [bare] that?'
Then the men, for their part, will break loose too. In short, there will be no
decency left, unless people contain themselves and respect what is proper and
fitting, so as not to go headlong overboard."
