Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? (1 Corinthians 11:13)
The Greek word for veil is καλύπτρα kalyptra gives rise to the verb κατακαλύπτω katakalyto ‘to completely veil’ or ‘to cover up’, and the resultant adjective (above) ἀκατακάλυπτος akatakalyptos ‘uncovered’ or ‘revealed’.
The Bible is always counter cultural, because culture is humankind’s creation. Currently, there is no better example of this than the perception of marriage and within that, the role of men and women. In this post, I examine Scripture to seek how God views partnership in marriage.
Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Saviour. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. (Ephesians 5:22-24)
Women today are in revolt and who can blame them? Men have let them down is so many ways in the workplace, within wider society and especially within personal relationship. Feminism is the world’s pushback to men vacating the moral stage, where women seek to redress the tyranny of men in which most often women are their victims. And nowhere is this abdication better seen than within the home, where men are both absent and/or controlling, leaving women to raise children largely unsupported.
