Mike's preferred view: holy angelic observers who delight in seeing God's order in worship

All The Head Covering Debates (1 Cor 11): Women in Ministry part 10 05:15:50 – 05:20:00

Mike presents his conclusion on the angels question.

Good angels are present during worship and want to see God honored with proper displays of his order. Supported by: (1) Jewish texts about angels at worship, (2) angels as consistent observers throughout OT and NT (unlike one-time lust event), (3) fits Paul's worship context (prayer/prophecy), (4) fits Paul's explicit concerns (honor, shame, headship, created order), (5) adds no new ideas not present in the passage. The only criticism: the phrase is vague -- but this is true of every interpretation.
