Hair as a natural covering extends to cloth covering: Paul's analogical reasoning

All The Head Covering Debates (1 Cor 11): Women in Ministry part 10 00:23:01 – 00:24:01

Mike explains how Paul connects natural hair covering to cloth covering.

Paul's logic: if a woman's hair covering her head is a good thing (which the Corinthians already agreed with), then a cloth covering can have a similar good quality. This would not have seemed odd to the Corinthians even if it seems odd to modern readers. Modern readers are 'the weirdos' and 'foreigners to the scriptures.'
