Refer to 1 Corintihans 11 to get informed if you aren't aquaited with this passage:
13 Judge among yourselves. Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14 Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him? 15 But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her for a covering. 16 But if anyone seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor do the churches of God.
It says that long hair can be a covering for a girl... does that mean that if you are a girl with long hair you don't have to wear an esharb.
Because I never wear it when I read the Bible, but i do in church.. but i hate wearing it because it distracts me because it is so bothering, it either keeps falling off and I have to readjust it every minute, or if you tie it around your neck, u choke!
So its so distracting and uncomfortable.. so can ong hair be a replacement? What then does St. Paul mean here?

also there is something i don't get here..when st.paul said cover ur head..does that mean like cover ur whole head like ur face too?

sandrahanna, your face is not a crown, in this case guys would also have to wear asharbs, and that does not happen.
marmar91 u don't tie the asharb until u choke just tie it alittle bit..and we have to wear an asharb when we r reading the bible as christ4life said bec our hair is our crown and we r readiing the bible we have to respect it and let it be our crown!

yeah.. this may be a stupid question.. but its been bugging me.
Ok; so if I go 2 a christian school, does that mean I have to wear an asharb when we pray and read the bible too.. that's too much for me!! :-\
GB all!

ofcourse, coz d u think that poor ppl or a person who doesnt hv clothes or esharb, that does it affect whether God will listen to her prayers or not?...

but in leviticus, it says tha a women shouldnt be dressed like a man.. i think that includes hair...o well, never mind...
Leviticus also has it so that a sinner immediately dies or is stoned to death..we don't completely follow the Old Testament.
You can also bring your own cloth to church, one that is confortable to you, so you won't be of discomfort.
and you have to cover it but only before God, because who are we to stand in front of God with a crown on our heads? if God wanted us to cover it all the time, we would have never received it to begin with right?
