If the head covering is only about fashion or culture at that specific historical period, then why does Paul get into the shame of a woman having her head shaved?
A shaved head would just be one more fashion trend.
On TikTok (I am told) is a trend for young openly rebellious women to shave their heads. For these factious young ladies, shaving their heads is the new fashion statement.
Some science fiction movies portray bald-headed women in a positive light. One or two of the Star Trek series had episodes with shaven females.
I recently watched a home renovation show where the woman was shaved bald (not from cancer treatment) and it was clearly her fashion statement.
This “extreme trend” is not mainstream. Women with shaved heads may be fashionable in some isolated social circles, but not many. Most women naturally want hair on their heads because the hair is a glory given to the woman by God.
Keep asking yourself, why is Paul discussing fashion in the middle of 1 Corinthians Chapter 11?
Did the Holy Spirit just suddenly move Paul to delve into what the Corinthian women needed to know about the latest fashion trend?
The position that head covering is only a cultural or fashion matter also begs the question of why are the angels involved.
Are angels, heavenly beings, really interested in earthly fashion statements or some minor cultural matter?
It is illogical (and unlike Paul) to shift from a discussion of Godly wisdom (determined to know nothing other than Christ) to abruptly change the topic for 16 verses to the cultural fashion of the day in Corinth and away from the serious issues and problems in the church at Corinth. 1 Corinthians 2:2
The argument that Paul is discussing the current fashion trends in Corinth among the other seemingly more serious issues is highly improbable.
