Some people think that the covering on their heads is a veil,or a cloth like material,but it is not.
1Co 11:15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.
The covering is her hair.
1Co 11:14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?
And long hair on a man is a shame.
1Co 11:7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
A man should have short hair for he is in the image of God,which means he should cut his hair,and not let it get too long.Jesus was in the image of God so He would of had short hair.
1Co 11:5 But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.
1Co 11:6 For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.
If a woman cuts her hair it is the same as if she were shaven,and she is putting herself in the place of a man.
So God wants a distinction between a man and a woman,and a man should cut his hair,but if he does not then he is putting himself in the position of a woman,and it is a shame to him,and he is not in the image of God,and when he prays or prophesies he dishonors his head.
But a woman should not cut her hair,and if she does she is putting herself in the position of a man,and she dishonors her head.
1Co 11:10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.
The woman should have uncut hair because of the angels,for they have the authority above the angels,as well as all saints,for they will have a higher position in heaven than that of the angels,which the Bible says the angels desire to look in to the salvation of the saints.
Some people will cry legalistic,let us have our hair the way we want,but they do not want to heed scriptures,and that God wants a distinction between a man and a woman on earth.
When they put off the flesh,and have a glorified body in heaven there is no distinction between them,for the only thing that separates a man and a woman is the flesh,the soul and spirit are the same.
