There is absolutely no scripture in the Bible that says that a woman's head has to be covered all the time. None whatsoever. It is worldly wisdom to sum up scriptures from the Old Testament, which shows a woman taking off a veil, and then interpreting those scriptures as if they say "God expects a woman to be veiled." That is NOT what those scripture say.

In fact, 1 Corinthians 11:5-6 gives an option that is never even mentioned amongst the holy-rollers of our day. "If a woman is not covered, then let her be shorn, or shaved, but IF it is shameful for a woman to be shorn, THEN let her be covered." Verse 15 clearly explains that long hair is given to a woman as a covering, but a woman can't make that decision for herself, nor through her husband among the holy-rollers of our day, because their holy-rolling preachers, in appearance only on course, have made that decision for them, they "have" to be covered. These are blind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel. They don't even preach the whole gospel, and yet they are so worried about head coverings.

What so called Torah keepers don’t realize is that if you are under the Law, you will be judged by the Law (Romans 3:19-20). We have to die to the Law in order to serve God in the new way of the Spirit (Romans 7:6), unless we want to be judged by the Laws that came through Moses.

Since there was a change in the priesthood of necessity, there was a change in the law according to Hebrews 7:12. Therefore, Gentiles, who attempt to be justified by Law, will certainly fall away from grace (Galatians 5:4). Better check the verses, because the so-called Torah keepers of our day are after the same thing that these denominations are after, “more followers,” just as the Apostle Paul warned in Acts 20:29-31, they draw away disciples after themselves.

What is the difference between a brother and a neighbor according to our new agreement, or new covenant with the Lord? First, is there a difference?

Luke 8:19-21
[19] Then His mother and brothers came to Him, and could not approach Him because of the crowd. [20] And it was told Him by some, who said, "Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, desiring to see You." [21] But He answered and said to them, "My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it."

Here we see that for Christians, your earthy family is not necessarily your mother, brother, and so on. Jesus says the same thing in Mark 3.

Mark 3:31-35
[31] Then His brothers and His mother came, and standing outside they sent to Him, calling Him. [32] And a multitude was sitting around Him; and they said to Him, "Look, Your mother and Your brothers are outside seeking You." [33] But He answered them, saying, "Who is My mother, or My brothers?" [34] And He looked around in a circle at those who sat about Him, and said, "Here are My mother and My brothers! [35] For whoever does the will of God is My brother and My sister and mother."

And what about the times when Christian brothers don't act like brothers in Christ? We have scriptures for that too.

2 Thessalonians 3:6-7
[6] But we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw from every brother who walks disorderly and not according to the tradition which he received from us. [7] For you yourselves know how you ought to follow us, for we were not disorderly among you;

2 Thessalonians 3:14-15
[14] And if anyone does not obey our word in this epistle, note that person and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed. [15] Yet do not count him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

What happens at this point is that we try and turn a brother back to the truth in order to save his soul in the end, and we only instruct with scripture (2 Timothy 3:16-17), not worldly wisdom (1 Corinthians 1:17, 3:19-20), our philosophy teachings (Colossians 2:8).

James 5:19-20
[19] Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back, [20] let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins.

Now that we know who our brothers in Christ is and sisters in Christ are included in that according to Galatians 3:28, who is our neighbor?

Luke 10:29-37
[29] But he, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?" [30] Then Jesus answered and said: "A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, who stripped him of his clothing, wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. [31] Now by chance a certain priest came down that road. And when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. [32] Likewise a Levite, when he arrived at the place, came and looked, and passed by on the other side. [33] But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was. And when he saw him, he had compassion. [34] So he went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; and he set him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. [35] On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, 'Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I come again, I will repay you.' [36] So which of these three do you think was neighbor to him who fell among the thieves?" [37] And he said, "He who showed mercy on him." Then Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise."

Now I hope we can see the difference between our brother and our neighbor. We are going to love everybody, and help everyone within our means, but we are especially going to help those of the household of faith (Galatians 6:9-10). God bless you-ins! Have a good day.

See if you can detect the difference between hearing scripture and hearing worldly wisdom taught by blind guides, who deceive millions of Christians.

Can you see the TRUTH? If not, you will more than likely believe the lie.

If you cannot see the lie, amongst the truth in this picture, then you will be tossed to and fro, and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men (Ephesians 4:14).

Christ is the end of the law for righteousness, to those who believe, according to the Word of the Lord, written in Romans 10:4. Learn scripture, follow Jesus!

Don't be deceived. Those who speak against Jesus Christ, do not believe Jesus Christ. With the heart we believe unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation (Romans 10:10). Hold fast to your confession of faith (1 Timothy 6:12)! Never speak in opposition to what Jesus spoke.
