Unreg said: "We women are under headship here in the Earthly realm but when we pray and fellowship with Him, we are already seated in the heavenlies--and there is NO curse from the Fall there and, therefore, no need for headship or any lessening of our role. Praise the Lord!" To which our brother Drake replied that there would always be a need for headship in the universe.

Well, let's think about this. When we are in prayer and praise and our spirit soars to unite and be one with our Lord to enjoy Him, is any kind of Earthly headship needed? Isn't the very fact that we are in the presence of the Lord and HIS headship all that is needed to provide any covering? In Christ, there is freedom--for all. Merged with our true Head (the Lord), would anyone need any other headship? I think not. So I would say that Unreg is right--women need no covering or headship in their intimate time with the Lord--for there is neither male nor female in Christ. True fellowship causes us to soar above this realm. The curse of the Fall is only present here on Earth and in this physical life. The more union with Christ we have, the less ALL of us are impacted by the curse--which included headship for women and, really, even for men. Of course, Unreg was referring to male headship over women on Earth. None of us will ever leave--or desire to leave--the eternal and glorious headship of Our Bridegroom.

Yes, praise the Lord for this!
