@Unashamed_Chuck I believe that Paul’s use of the Greek word kephale is not about authority or leadership but has to do with the source relationship between the husband and the wife coming from Eden where Eve was made from and for Adam. Both were com...

@LuckyDuck2121 @Crystalisives Adam was literally the first man created and from whom Eve was made; he’s like the headwaters or source of the human stream. Head does not mean authority over as we assum

@DST_QA @Robert_S_Morley I have to revoke my statement. I assumed it means authority in this context but after reviewing all the lexicons I have in my library (and I have a lot), kephale is not used in the sense of authority. I am becoming more convi...

@DST_QA Where does scripture say Adam is the “representative head” of humanity?

@pastherandie @B_Christs_Amb @MikeWingerii @JohnPiper @waynegrudem You aren’t wrong. The problem with these patriarchalists and complementarians is that they read head and headship and immediately translate to authority and hierarchy. They can’t see ...

@Grump_Old_Man @DBryanRhodes @ronhenzel @Gates_of_Derry @CalebDixonSmith I love the scripture and what it means. I don’t like when people misrepresent it. “…and he is the saviour of the body” This statement is what qualifies what kephale (translate...

@pastherandie @B_Christs_Amb @MikeWingerii @JohnPiper @waynegrudem I would say the authority for the man to rule over the woman wasn’t given by God, but both are equally commanded to rule. The problem with using head in English is we see it meaning ...

@SpecterAndBride @ymmotrojam @squidgy201 Nature doesn’t limit the length of head hair. Nature doesn’t teach you there’s a limit. Just don’t cut it and nature will continue to show you this. Translating it to contradict nature is strange to me. No w...

@Chainsaw59598 @SpecterAndBride No, that’s not a proper translation since nature teaches you that head hair doesn’t stop unlike arm hair, etc. Put a boy beside a girl and don’t cut either’s hair and their hair will grow about as long. "Nature itself...

@Cooper9DL You are taking 1Ti 2:12 out of context and are treating “head” in the sense of authority or master over which is not the sense in which Paul was using the word kephale. Your comment about 1Ti 3:1-13 being directed at only men is likely due...

@westminbaptist Except “head” is not meant as master over but as source or origi

@FreeAme19691836 The only head of the church is Jesus. It is because men and women are created differently that we need to work together. “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may p...

@rofbethany @DefendTheSheep However, head does not mean master or commander, but source or origin. Adam’s flesh and bone is the origin or source of Eve. Jesus’ flesh and blood is the origin or source of life of the church. Take the following from a ...

@amerikanergent @RoiRogers2 @ZA_Legacy @smashbaals Mutuality is perhaps a better term as this isn’t about asserting one’s rights. Headship in Paul’s thinking is not what we are used to in our context but has to do with the origin of things like marri...

@plew_samuel @SpecterAndBride Doing what you are told? So don’t you think it would be important first to determine what precisely you are being told before you attempt to do it? After all, Paul is arguing *against* head coverings. He is simply explai...

@AceFreeman1234 @SpecterAndBride But Paul wasn’t referring to that, was he? Else women would be all covered head to toe which also presumes that a cloth prevents angels from seeing things (why wouldn’t the roof of the church or one’s home prevent the...

@NBidnz Yes, Ja 2:25 uses the term angels for the spies. The question is whether this is what Paul meant in Corinthians. So the idea is that he wants married women to cover their heads and men to uncover them because of spies? And there is no such c...

@thejoshualococo So you are saying Paul wants married women to cover their heads

@MJ_Nelson89 @Alex7Shiro If you are saying that this is not about the head coverings I think you are missing what Paul said at the start of the chapter: “Now I praise you because you remember me in everything and hold firmly to the traditions, just a...

@JoanBandy Are you suggesting v10 is a quotation from the Corinthians? Or is it

@industriousmom4 @InnovationHQ2 @elijahtmadison @SpecterAndBride @tigereyes1972 I think you are reading in our modern understanding of "headship" which means hierarchical authority. Adam was created in time sequence before Eve, but not in hierarchy. ...

@ymmotrojam @TarienCole Except you got Paul's question wrong. He didn't ask if it was proper to cover, but uncover. So fixing your post, we get the following. Rhetorical Question: 13 Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a woman to pray to God with...

@InnovationHQ2 @elijahtmadison @SpecterAndBride @tigereyes1972 Paul is not negating his own teaching on covering because he is advocating for not covering and giving women the freedom to decide what to do. Paul says in verse 6 that "If a woman does ...

@InnovationHQ2 @elijahtmadison @SpecterAndBride @tigereyes1972 Yes, I am following Paul’s flow of thought. Since we will judge angels then we ought to be able to judge trivial matters of this life, such as whether to cover or not cover our heads whe...

@NBidnz I'm not sure I've heard angels referred to as spies before, but you are right that Judiazers especially were infiltrating the churches and trying to bring them under the law (see Galatians). The thing about angels and head coverings is that ...

@rofbethany 1Co 11:10 says that the woman should have authority on her own head because of the angels. Paul already spoke about what this has to do with in 1Co 6:2-3: “Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? If the world is judged b...

@RachelleMerle Please explain how NATURE teaches you there is a difference between males and females when it comes to head hair. Then explain how it is disgraceful for John the Baptist to have long hair (a Nazarite). Even Paul himself took a Nazarit...

@LoammiCB @SpecterAndBride @tigereyes1972 When I look at my arm hair, nature teaches me that certain kinds of hair grow to only a certain length. But when observing head hair on the scalp, this hair does not stop like arm hair. Nature does not teach ...
