Hijab/veil- Why Are Christians Discarding Biblical Injunctions? by NoSentiment: 12:04pm On Feb 04, 2022
Reading the Bible, i come across many biblical verses about veil or what muslims call hijab. The following are some samples of biblical verses about veil or hijab:

1) Genesis 24v64-66

"
64 Rebekah also looked up and saw Isaac. She got down from her camel

65 and asked the servant, “Who is that man in the field coming to meet us?”

“He is my master,” the servant answered. So she took her veil and covered herself.

66 Then the servant told Isaac all he had done. "

2) 1 corinthians 11:

"

5-6 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 . 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 .

10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.

13 Judge in yourselves : is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered? "

3) In ALL the portraits of Mary, she appears so covered that you can mistake her for a muslim woman (see pictures attached)

NOW, my question is why do my fellow Christians whose wives, daughters and nieces blatantly flout these biblical injunctions go to the etra extremist length of fighting muslim women for simply doing something the Bible itself asks all Christians to do?

Please I need to be educated about why!

Oga this your trash holds no water. If you don't want to abide by laid down rules and regulations, better leave, rules don't change because you came. It changes when due.

If your child wants to learn in a school that has missionary foundation then let the lad be ready to forgo whatever religious beliefs he or she has.

We have Islamic schools scattered around the country, take your child there.

When your lad was seeking admission why didn't you dress him or her the Islamic way? Na after admission you go want introduce rubbish.

So missionary schools are not bound by biblical injunctions especially if non-Christians (muslims) are practicing that injunctions?

Trash.


It is trash because you do not have theological answer to it. You oppose veil merely on the basis of it being identified with muslims! Not because it is not biblical. This is just it.

Your problem is you fight for your God but cannot fight for yourself when the need arises.

Christian schools have standard and if you can't abide by it go away rather than being a torn.

That's how Christians have turned to nowadays. They lack true knowledge of their religion, some follow their hearts desires, many envy other religious adherents for following the words and letters of their holy books.
Alcohol, pig, etc are all outlawed in their book bible but see how they tongue lash Hisbah when they arrests alcoholic drinks up north.
That's why Daddyfreez calls them pagans which they truly are.
That's how they continue to amend the contents of the bible to suit their dogma!

The crusaders fought for God (Jesus)

The Lord Resistance Army in Uganda fight for God (Jesus)

George Bush said in the attached video that God asked him to invade Iraq and Afghanistan (Bush worships the Christian God).

Which Christian schools? Any school funded by Government is a public school.

Plus, these are beside the points. You use diversionary tactics to evade the point of the write up which is:

Why do Christians oppose veils even though it is a biblical injunction? This is the point.

The issue of Vail wearing was as a result of the environment then, the Arabian world then was dusty why cover your head when there is not dust, after walking for long time you would be battling with dust, hence this also resulted in washing of feet eyes, ears.
So I don't see what is spiritual the covering, we humans we tend to turn every to spiritual

As for your veil Taqiya have you seen Catholic sisters, seminarians rejected in any Christian school because of veil?

It is true. It is a wonder why they stubbornly oppose those practicing what their own Bible preaches. My take is they have been neutralized by liberalism and they want muslims too to knowhow b4 it (liberalism)

It is sad that Christianity is completely distorted from its original true value and replaced with lots of scams right from Constantine era.
Fighting Hijab is seriously exposing how rediculously ignorant most Christians are about their faith.
How can you reject your believe just to look different from others?

One illiterate above is trying to cover the contentious situation with the rules of Baptist school which further redicules his belief that Christianity is upholding the indecency and immorality that the world is witnessing today.
The main difference between man and animal is reasoning and shelter!

Hijab is not a criteria of been decent, now that this have been established

Every school have their dress code, the children are not dressing naked to school that an extra covering should be required

The uniform is sufficient to express decency,

and yet Jesus turned water into wine(alcohol). David drank wine and many people too. Is alcohol not wine again.
For big I don't eat that but I remember in a part of the Bible the apostle was having visions of different animals to eat including pig and the rest ND he refused. Do you know what God told him? Go and read that part and come back to modify this nonsense you wrote here. Mtcheeeew

Hijab predated islam. Nothing islamic about hijab. It is not even one pillar of islam.
There is no biblical injunction that says women should wear head covering for secular events. It may be a requirement if women have to perform certain religious duties.
Generally, matter of dressing and grooming is cultural. Arabs used islam to spread their culture.

Decency starts from action not just only heart.

Those schools u ignorantly assume are Christians' schools have been converted to Govt schools and are under Govt payroll for long with their original names upheld in respect to the original owners.

Government funds Muslim Islamic schools too but you don't see Christian's crying to go there because it's always a recipe for disaster

Why can't Muslims do same?

You don't understand Christianity, you can see the quote above indicated exactly when a woman wears head cover, being publicly sanctimonious while a chronic sinner in private is not a Norm in Christianity, that's why christian women wears head cover in church or whenever they want to pray, but they have option of wearing headtie or not in public, at occasions/ events.
