James, I pray numerous times per day and Iam sure women do also, are they to don the head covering every time they talk to God in a quick prayer? Iam talking about as I go about doing things not on my knees but as I am engaged in an activity like driving or doing a chore or just walking, or sitting down.
The Chief Pharaisee responds:
My mother and most women in past times, always wear a scarf doing housework or a hat outside. I guess we have changed somewhat in our society; but it is certainly very easy to cover the head, and very wise to do so to keep the hair clean from the dust of housework or the barn or car etc.
This is so easy and effortless and was done routinely by our grandparents if not our parents. Paul expressly teaches this point in terms of covering in humility before God. Since we are instructed to do this, it has the authority of a command.
I would think that if there was even the slightest idea that something might please God and it was lawful, everyone would rush to do it. That would be wholehearted zeal to please God. On the other hand to strongly resist what is an easy, simple, minor and lawful act, commanded in scripture, speaks loudly as to a lack of zeal to please God. James
If the god of Malmism was really worth pleasing it would be one thing to do all of this. Since the god of Malmism does not exist, why waste one's time?????
