Headscarf.....Christian, muslim, culture and other things....

Ok.  So women who wear a headscarf are not sinning.  Women who do not wear a headscarf can still connect with God.  The words from the bible can still speak to them.

Some people get confused about what a head-dress actually means and why some people prefer to wear a headscarf to other things.

The headscarf in Christian groups is based upon HONOUR towards the Lord.  Women CHOOSE to HONOUR the Lord.  For example, a woman is going to meet "the president.."  Would she wear rotten clothing that is rattered tattered and torn....with various anti-american messages to "please" the president?  No.  She would wear something nice.  Similarly Christian women who wear a headscarf simply want to honour the Lord.  1 Corinthians 11.

For me personally, a headscarf shows a certain sort of "respect" and "understanding" for women in cultures where the headscarf is "required" or even abusively "forced" on women.  A sort of empathy can lead people in a better direction in life.  Christian women are equal to men, but they are weaker than men......in a general sense.  Sadly in unsupported Muslim cultures, women are not equal to men and are forced to address men a certain way.

Muslim women are basically either choosing to be Muslim (if they are in western society) or they are born into the culture.  As a result, the headscarf is seen as a symbol, but many have interpreted as a way to abuse women in those societies.  Is it wrong to mock a woman in a headscarf?  Yes.  It will always be that way.  It is the same as mocking a woman who wears something on her head because she has cancer and her hair fell out.

Christian women and Muslim women who wear a headscarf may say the same thing.  I would like to show my hair only to my husband.  Though Christian women may allow little strands of hair or other appealing decorative items from their heads while wearing a headscarf.  Muslim women are asked to quit tempting men.  Christian women know that men themselves need to choose to stop lusting after women, as it is not a woman's job to help men overcome sin, Jesus did that.

There is something in western society that says that Christian women should always go without headscarf.  This isn't the case in original Christian churches.  Headscarves are still common today.  Perhaps its lightly cultural.

There are various Jewish women who also wear a head covering.  That also has culture connections.  Women who escape abusive cultures may want to forget wearing a headscarf.

Anyhow, people can be in our family.  Sometimes we don't know their full family heritage and upbringing.  It would all depend upon how close we were in age and how much we understand about them personally.

To be honest, I believe that MANY western women get confused about the Muslim religion and believe that their life will be "better" by choseing that faith.  No, it won't work.  A person may participate culturally for a while by wearing their head-dress, and going without pork and even fasting, but in the end, women's rights are NOT the same as Christian beliefs.  Furthermore, why not, as a western woman who is curious, simply go to live in a Christian community in the middle east where woman wear a headscarf.  The sense of what ACTUALLY happens will become more apparent.  Essentially, LOVE covers a multitude of sin.

All in all, born again conditions, SHOULD make a woman desire to wear a headscarf to honour the Lord, but it doesn't seem to happen frequently in western society.  A headscarf doesn't "save" you......but it is symbolic.

Spectrum or conditions of same sex love vs. bondage to sin....

Spectrum or conditions for same sex love vs. bondage to sin.....

1. Family love.  Same sex conditions no sexual relationships.  Basic needs met.  No major dysfunction.  Understanding family dynamics.

2. Brotherly and Sisterly love.  Same sex friendship and understanding.  No sexual relationship.

3. "Good Samaritan."  Assisting those with the same condition or gender.  Either with needs based on gender or not. ie. a male doctor helping a man with prostate cancer and explaining proper function and intimacy.

4. "Woman caught in adultery" Believing in the best for someone despite what they do in their life.  Male or female partner.

5. "Bathsheba" or "Mixed up partners"... Similar to the woman caught in adultery, but knowing that things can restore with repentance and honesty.

6. Polygyny or "sister wives."  Love for person of same sex in poly marriage situation.  No physical intimacy between those of same sex. (yes, some Christian's practice this....some were not Christian before....and some currently practice Christianity)

7. Married but still have love for person of same sex in brotherly love sort of way....some other people outside the marriage.  Care and concern types of things.

8. Forbidding others to "stone" or "harass" a person who practices LGBT lifestyle.

*****In these cases, CHRISTIANS and actual bible believers could be persecuted, for standing up for THE TRUTH.....apply sermon on the Mt.****



****** (same sex love when it becomes problematic)

7. Rape.  Problematic.  Needs criminal intervention.

8. Incest.  Problematic.  In some cases needs criminal intervention.  In other cases needs spiritual or psychological intervention.

9. Marriage.  Contains corrupted ideas about sexual relationships.  It is ok to forbid such in a faith group.  It is ok to forbid attending or catering to such.  It is ok to admit historical evils and problems in some people.

10. Pedophilia.  A child is not old enough to make decisions.  Pre puberty do not need hormone.  Age 12 and above need proper guidance on reporting bad behaviors.

11. Prostitution.  In appropriate relationships without proper boundaries.

12. Sexualization.  Improper teaching towards young children.

13. Forced legal actions.  Creating harassment towards those who do not admire or encourage same sex lifestyle.  Extreme measures, character assassinations and calling a person homophobic.

14. False religious connotations.  Claiming to "be holy" but ignoring scripture basics.  Churches who praise the works of sexual impurity more than the holiness of Christ.  Churches who hide the corrupt practices in clergy or members working for religious groups.

15. Infidelity (except in cases where a same sex marriage occurred).  Problematic partnership where one doesn't tell the other spouse his or her secret relationship.

Note: Medical professionals, teachers (in a general secular school and the teacher CHOOSES not to teach inappropriate things), pastors and other sorts of people in the "general public" are NOT responsible for the irresponsible "bondage lifestyles" of others.....despite every effort to bring them to the truth.  These "general public" people can only so much as CARE and not harass and intimidate those who are a target of hate.

Yes, there are ways to point to the source of love in a way that brings hope and healing and there are ways to point out that something may not be the best way to love....

Now I don't endorse "Steven Anderson" entirely because I don't know his entire "family background" or other things that bring about his particular interpretation of the scripture.....however, he is bringing up the point that people twist scripture to keep people in bondage to their sin.
