ANSWER: No! Those who so teach have failed to understand that it was the “custom” in Corinth in the first century to wear a long veil (body length) to show or denote submission. This “custom” is not prevalent in most civilizations today! Although it would be improper to bind “custom,” the principle of submission remains an eternal binding principle (Genesis 3:16)! Thus, the inspired apostle wrote in 1 Corinthians 11:3, “But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is man; and the head of Christ is God.” This means that just as man must be in submission to his head, who is Christ, that the woman must be in submission to her head, who is man. It does not mean that the woman must show her submission by practicing a “custom” of submission (wearing a covering) that was prevalent in first century Corinth!
