Mary the Mother of Jesus, a role model for Christians, wore a hijab
Blogging Theology 
In 2012 Italy’s Minister of the Interior Roberto Maroni strongly refused to sign on a decree banning the Islamic female headscarf, known as hijab. “If the Virgin Mary appears wearing a veil on all her pictures, how can you ask me to sign on a hijab ban law?” he said.

It also interesting to point that amongst evangelicals there is a desire to return to the ancient custom of wearing a head scarf!

Yes lets talk about 1 Timothy 2:5-8
“For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind , the man Christ Jesus who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time. For this purpose I was appointed a Herald and an Apostle”.
Yep, happy to get pawned

So Jesus is a man, a mediator between God and man. So he is not God. Duh!

I was waiting for you to say that. And I’m glad you didn’t disappoint. Jesus is the true mediator between God and mankind because he is both. God and man.

Wrong. Read the passage again. Jesus is clearly called a man only, a distinct and separate person from God.
You read your theology into the passage, a classic Christian trick. Won’t work in this blog dude.

But in Colossians 1:16 Paul calls him the creator of Heaven and Earth. So its already established by Paul the Apostle that Jesus is God. So how can you say he is just a man?
LikeLike
Colossians is a different letter. Don’t change the subject. In 1 Tim he is not called God, Jesus is only called a man. God is another being. That is obvious if you were honest.
Most critical scholars, for a number of reasons, do not think Paul wrote 1 or 2 Timothy.
You have lost the argument.

Bilal, you’ve been shown this before. Shall I suggest that Islam affirms atheism, “there is no God”? You may appeal to the rest of the verse, or even other parts of the Koran, but in your own words, that would be changing the subject.
Secondly, let’s assume 1 Tim denies trinitarianism. Problem for you is that it proves too much. It says Jesus was a ransom. So it falsifies Islam.
So whether we isolate the verse or not, either way your reasoning is fallacious or refuted.

Odd reasoning. I never claimed that 1 Tim as a whole is Islamic, just that it teaches Jesus is no more than a man.

something more than that. they hate biblical commandments. they ignore if they do not like it. we are not perfect muslims but we do not ignore law of ALLAH. there are difference between religious and non religious muslims but christians look same. liberals and religious christians except feew area are same. they lost sense of good and bad. sex outside marriage okay for them. lying is okay for them. specially in mission works. they blame ALLAH for being moon god. but they do not want to see where word god coming from. they critic polygamy,which is also biblical. they say prophet muhammed not mentioned in the bible. but most of the biblical prophets not prophesized before by other prophets. is there any prophecy about isaiah daniel samuel paul and many of them? also many of these prophets do not have any miracles. in short have atheist mentality.

Paul Washer understands the head covering mentioned by Paul of Tarsus to be like what Muslim women wear.

The apostle Paul said women should cover their hair only when praying or prophesying.
Muslim women are called to cover up in all public places.

Not so. Paul told women (and men) to pray without ceasing: 1 Thessalonians 5:17.

For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head. – St Paul
There is the 1st century evidence and this is still a practice widely done in Eastern Orthodox, Traditional Catholic, and Middle Eastern churches. Protestants also largely maintained the practice until more modern times through the use of bonnets, hats, etc…

I wonder what psychologists would say to Muslims who are so adamant that other non Muslim women must be forced to wear a head scarf?
Why don’t you guys keep your legalism inside the masjid please?
LikeLike
No Muslim here is saying that anyone should be forced to wear anything only that Islam has a strong stance on modesty as did Christianity traditionally, the head scarf is/was common to both traditions until more recent times and that it is hypocritical for modern day Christians to criticise Islam for having said values.
Please keep up…

Yes but that is not a hijab it is a Keffiyeh and is not something that is exclusive to Islam (just like the head scarf isn’t unique to Islam)
But anyway Paulus you haven’t answered my point yet regarding St Pauls teaching on wearing a head scarf! So i will fire the question back at you, did St Paul think that those who don’t wear a head scarf were immodest according to his reasoning?
The answer should be obvious…

Look Paulus, the problem is very obvious. We can say that Christian women are only commanded to wear a scarf while prayer (which they don’t do nowadays). But it won’t stop there. You will call for more nudity than just showing the hair. You will not be satisfied until every women wears short short stuff and you will call it Christian. That is because your fundamental principle is opposing Islam.

Muslim women are commanded to wear the headscarf. If they don’t they will be violating the command of God. However, covering the hair is not part of universal modesty. Therefore I would not call a woman without hijab immodest as long as the rest of the body is covered and the hair is kept in a modest way.
Yes, we believe in establishing Islamic law. In the masjid rules can be enforced since it is private property. Someone who has power in a land (ruler, government) has the obligation to enforce Islamic law. Not doing so is sinful. Denying the sovereignty of Islam in legal matters constitutes apostasy. Writing a law or constitution that goes against Islamic law and sovereignty is apostasy. Saying “you can do whatever is not forbidden by (state) law” is apostasy.
