Bible Study should women wear head covering and men wear beards ? proof?

Acts 15:28-29

28 For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things: 29 that you abstain from things offered to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well.
beard or not ; head covering or not; man and woman can become acceptable to God. See first 5 words of v28 imo

Does that mean Gentile believers can steal, murder, covet, take the Name in vain, break the Sabbath, etc.? No.

Act 15:20 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.
Act 15:21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.​

Gentile converts would eventually learn the rest of Torah as they heard Moses read every Sabbath.

Which commandment did Jesus The Christ not fulfill ?

Yep,
But it also says, there is neither male nor female,, ye are all one in Christ Jesus. Gal.3:28

Her head should also be covered with Christ.

I don't see what the Galatians passage has to do with it. Galatians is dealing with Jew and Gentile, not man and woman or wife. I'm not sure how one's head could be covered with Christ.

I agree.

All one has to do is look at the historical evidence. Women wore the head covering all through history. It's only in modern times, about the last 60 years, that this has even become an issue. I think a lot of it has to do with the feminist movement.
 
What I find curious is why so many women balk at this idea. It doesn't seem to be a problem for men to remove their hats when they enter the Church.

What does that have to do with what Paul said?

Sheesh lighten up a bit..
What does the Blood of the Lamb have to do with what Paul said .. just about everything... Gal_6:14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
 
Again i ask why a man made covering when the Word of God plainly says
1Co_11:15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.

The Galatians passage, I quoted, also said that there is no male nor female in Christ Jesus.
If Jesus is in me, do you think He cares, what sex I am?

1Cor.11:3
The head of every man is Christ.

But he's not addressing the head covering in Galatians.

Also, as I quoted, in 11:16
We have no such custom, neither the churches of God.

Does it matter?

No custom of being contentious. It would make no sense to tell women do this and then say but if you don't want, ok. He lays out his reason, it's because Christ is the head of man, man the head of the woman, and God the head of Christ. He said the woman was made for the man and that was the reason the woman should be covered.

Her hair isn't the covering that Paul is talking about. He uses two different Greek words for "cover" and "covering". He said, if she isn't covered let her be shaved. If her hair was the cover and she wasn't covered it means she has no hair. It makes no sense to say if she has no hair let her be shaved.

It saids if any man be contentious, about what was spoken of before.
Contentious=argumental

Covered because of the angels, fallen angels.
As the days of Noah...

Blood of Christ over us.

He fulfilled them all as far as obeying each one perfectly, but he did not fulfill them all to the point where they are no longer kept.

Mat 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Mat 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. ​

He fulfilled the laws that pertained to his first coming such as the Passover lamb, wave sheaf offering, sin offering, prophet like unto Moses, etc. He has yet to fulfill laws pertaining to his second coming such as setting the captives of death free, him marrying a virgin, pouring out the latter rain, etc.

How picky are ya Butch? I do not live in Corinth so maybe Paul's letter does not apply to me ...
The head cover argument is akin to asking if any one wears sandals The Scriptures plainly say to ware sandals
Mar_6:9 But be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats.
