It just says that I'm blocked ...I have no idea. It just says that I'm blocked whenever I try to reply to comments made to me or to post a comment to a new post. The last thing I remember being able to comment on was some post where two other commenters were having quite a discussion and most of the comments we made were deleted. <br /><br />Anyway, I don't believe in head covering in the way that they teach it - that head coverings are a symbol of the submission of a wife to her husband's authority, a single daughter to her father's authority, a widow to her church elders' authority over her. For one 'kephale / head' did not have a connotation of 'authority' in Paul's day and age (1 Cor. 11:3). Two, 'exousia / authority' is never used as 'someone else having authority over the person being referred to' but rather 'authority belonging to the person being referred to' (1 Cor. 11:10). <br /><br />I think Paul understood that it was culturally unacceptable for Jewish women to not wear head coverings (the Talmud has a teaching that they could be divorced for that), and he also knew that Greek and Roman women didn't live by the same rules. I think he was getting at hair = a head covering to tell the Jewish men not to force their cultural practice on their sisters who aren't Jewish. One of my favorite translations translates verse 10 this way: "For this reason, a woman has the authority to exercise control over her own head (wear what she wants on her head) out of respect for the angels." <br /><br />I guess we look at it from two different perspectives and never really were able to build a bridge between them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07064052143809998468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2299054992331360009.post-83818434771989801682016-07-03T17:53:19.977-05:002016-07-03T17:53:19.977-05:00I have visited per your request.
