On May 4, 2018, on the Naked Bible Podcast 086, Dr Michael Heiser presented what he called an ‘overtly sexual’ podcast in which he speaks about the issue of head coverings from 1 Corinthians 11. He claims that Paul believed a woman’s hair was part of her genitalia, and that the apostle was stating it is improper for a woman to display her genitalia in a worship service. This teaching , based on a fraudulent interpetation by Troy Martin, is utterly false.
