1 | What does "because of the angels" mean ? | 1 Cor 11:10 | Ray | 96824 | ||
Hi Mommapbs, The angels are neither male nor female. I see the writer calling for a comparison here. We as flesh need to have a "head" or symbol of authority in order to operate effectively. The angels simply serve the Lord. I would translate the "because of the angels" thus: "as seen through the angels" or "when compared to the angels". 1) 1 Corinthians 11:7, "For a man ought not to have his head covered, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man." Colossians 3:10, "...according to the image of the One who created him..." 1 Cor 12:24b, "But God has so composed the body, giving more abundant honor to that member which lacked, that there should be no division in the body , but that the members should have the same care for one another." 2) 1 Cor 11:11, "However, in the Lord, neither is woman independent of man, nor is man independent of woman...all things originate from God." 1 Cor 12:27, "Now you are Christ's body, and individually members of it. And God has appointed in the church... 3) 1 Cor 11:3, "But I want you to understand that Christ is the *Head of every man, and the man is the head [sic] of a woman, and God is the head [sic] of Christ." Colossians 2:19, NKJ, "and not holding fast to the Head, from whom all the body, nourished and knit togeter by joints and ligaments, grows with the increase that is from God." 1 Corinthians 11:3, "...and God is the head of Christ."

Hi Ray! Just as God is the authority in the angelic realm, we too should have a symbol of that same authority - but one that is available to us, namely Christ. Is this what you are saying? In His love, mommapbs |
