Culture And The Veil

[Michael The Disciple]

As more Pentecostals see that Paul was writing about veils being a covering for women the next obstacle they face is the arguement that it was just "cultural".

What does that mean? How was it that the cultures of many nations were teaching women ought to wear veils? Where did this idea come from?

OT, Oral Law, Tradition, etc...


Good question. I'll try to dig for specifics.

I don't understand what you are asking or the point you trying to make (if there is one). could you clarify please.

I think he's asking why it became the norm, and expected, for women to wear veils. I think it's an interesting question.

Is this, indeed, the question, MTD?

[Michael The Disciple]

Exactly. Women have worn them apparentley in many nations for centuries before Yeshua. Why?
