The Man Is The Image And Glory Of God

Last post we discussed how the head covering shamed Christ. Before we carry on with 1 Corinthians 11:5 in our verse by verse discussion, I want to skip over to verse 7 to discuss the second reason that a man is not to have his head covered and this has to do with honoring his head

What Is True Headship

With all of the talk on submission of a wife, we should at least grant that submission is not related to suppression of God’s gifts.
