by I recognize many other questions can arise not covered in this website. A few of these include:
-what if the husband instructs the wife not to wear a covering?
-should a husband force his wife to wear a head covering?
-should the eldership require the congregation to comply with the covering rules as part of the oversight entrusted to the elders?
-what is meant by the angels and what angels, the good angels or the fallen angels?
-is there an ongoing and continuing spiritual battle playing out with angels at risk of falling?
-if the spiritual battle continues, then can the refusal of men/women to comply with the covering instructions tempt the angels?
-the modesty argument for wearing (or not wearing) a veil.
-Paul limited the matter to only prayer in 1st Corinthians 11:13 whereas in verse 5 he addressed prayer and prophesying.
-a detailed explanation for why a covering is required when older women are teaching or praying with younger women with no men present.
-a detailed examination for why a woman teaching a children’s class needs to wear a covering.
-is prophesying the equivalent of teaching for purpose of having a proper headdress?
Maybe with time and study these specific questions can be addressed in the future. However, if you decide to accept that head covering applies today as gender-based instructions, then you can probably answer several of these subjects on your own.
