Hi Mark, my friend (anti-spam word is friend this time!) You said: > Your words not mine and words i never suggested or hinted at. Please spare me with polemical, un-helpful dialogue. I beg to diff...

Hi Mark, > Thank you for clarifying your question. Now i can see what it is you are asking. Well, I am glad that you are roundabout admitting that you were the one that was not understanding, but wi...

Lin, I think I have the answer for you. Tonight I was watching a DVD that I had purchased from CBMW. It was a talk by Russell Moore and the DVD isn’t dated which year it was done. In the Q & A sectio...

Sorry I’ve been gone so long. I don’t know exactly how to understand the idea that Paul considered it a logical necessity for a woman to cut her hair if she didn’t wear a covering, unless he was tryi...

Cheryl and Kerryn, Cogent thinking both of you. In Wayne Grudem’s book “Evangelical Feminism and Biblical Truth”, I could not believe the tap-dancing he did when it came to head coverings (p332-339). ...

“H”, Your “tap dancing” picture is very accurate. My thoughts are that CBMW makes head coverings to be an important injunction by God from the time of creation, yet we can arbitrarily change it now t...

Hello Cheryl Thank you for your thoughts on the passage. I need to roll up my ‘rusty’ greek sleeves and work through your points carefully. in the meantime… just an interesting ‘aside’ on veils/hea...

Cheryl said: ——————— Today Matt’s callers said that he did a really good job with me on the debate and that he was kind and held himself back. I could be wrong and stand to be corrected if I am, b...

I’m glad the focus will be on [1 Tim. 2](logos4:///Bible/1Ti 2), because Dr. Nyland’s notes for this book are available for free at [This Link](http://www.godswordtowomen.org/studies/resources/Source/...

I’ve written before that if something is a law, then there must be penalties for breaking it. This is of particular importance on the issue of legalism and whether the old Levitical Law applies to Chr...

Paul tells Christian men not only *that* they must not cover their heads, but also *why*. The head covering was a symbol of guilt and shame before God, so for a Christian to cover in God’s presence wa...

I’ve said this before, but I think it warrants saying again.  At day’s end, the question still remains; was Paul legislating anew with his letters sent out to the various churches of his time or was h...

Hi Truthseeker, Here’s how I’d go about it. Going straight to the passage in question, which is 1 Co 11, in context there **must** be something that points to or defines what Paul is talking about r...

Thanks, friends!  Lots of good things here:  Pinklady-essentially to not lose sight of the forest for the trees (verse over context) and that is so true.  Very good point of refocusing for me.      ...

Truthseeker #30 You said: > They also do not refer to such things as the women’s issues as laws.  They are principles written for the church.  Somehow in their minds, that is a significant differen...

‘morning Cheryl, I too believe Paul is quoting the Corinthians in 1 Cor. 11:4-6. Although there is no explicit “*he*” afterwards, I believe the Corinthians are presenting the problem the Christian wo...

In my next post I think I will make it quite clear why I do not think Paul is quoting the Corinthians here.  I do believe he is writing about head coverings because they had questions that they brough...

Paula, I agree that Paul is answering a question of the Corinthians regarding the length of hair and head coverings, etc. I just do not think that this is one place that is a direct quote (false tra...

Yes, not every “but” refers to a quote.  However when a “but” introduces a contradiction to what comes before, we can then entertain that what is contradicted is not Paul’s words but the words of anot...

Thanks for the plug TS! A little background: A comp asked, “Why, if in the 1 Cor. passage, head means origin or source, we don’t go on then to read in verse 5: “but every woman that prayeth or prophe...
