1 | To understand one verse ! | 1 Cor 11:16 | terryandangie | 103441 | ||
I've been studying 1 Cor 11:16. If you compare KJV NKJV, NRS to RSV,NLT,NIV they seem to be saying exactly opposite. Some translations seem to say that the "custom" was held by the churches, the others seem to say that the "custom" wasen't held by the churches. What did he mean by custom? One comentary said it meant women not covering there heads. Others said he was referring to women covering there heads. I've read several different comentarys and opinions on this chapter and have gotten many different views. The oppinons on this one verse follow which version of the Bible is used. I believe the older translations are not as accurate as some of the newer ones.It seems odd that the translations would vary so much in meaning. It makes it hard to understand exactly what Paul was trying to convey. My view is that the churches of that day held to the custom of the men having short hair and their heads uncovered and the women had a covering and or long hair. I don't seen any reason for this custom not to be practiced today as long as its not made a law. If it was a good practice for the churches back then it probably is still today. Most people hold to that custom anyway. Thanks Terry | ||||||

Terry Paul the author said in verses 14 and 15 that nature attests that man should have short hair and women long. Then he says in verse 16 However this is not something to fight or contend over. Believers should conform to the expected customs of Christian behavior and church order and not argue and rebel against them. The implication is this: we are not here to argue and fight over trivial matters, but to carry on the ministry of God’s church. There are too many desperate people in the world who are dying from hunger, thirst, poverty, disease, and sin—too many who need our help—for us to become involved in arguing over personal rights and customs. People miss this lesson trying to decide if someone's hair is too long or too short. EdB |

Hi EdB, I love it when forum members are working on a post together.:) It appears that it took over 24 hours, but I won the Sword Drill by one minute. I liked your thoughts. Good night, however. From the heart, Ray |

5 | To understand one verse ! | 1 Cor 11:16 | Ray | 103491 | ||
Hi EdB, I am doing all right thank you. Your question also rightly sounds like a "What ARE you talking about?" I am doing all right now that I know that the post I am talking about is not lost in cypberspace and I can explain my post. Terryandangie had a duplicate post for "To understand one verse". While you were working on this one I was working on the other. To understand why I say that I was one minute ahead of you, go to #103440. Perhaps an explanation of a "Sword Drill" is in order also, I don't know. I went to another verse, Colossians 1:18, so maybe you won after all. From the heart, Ray |

Hi EdB, Actually, I am suffering from a cold along with millions of other people. My immune system doesn't fight off colds since I am in my second round of chemo therapy. I am feeling well however, with no pain associated with my bone cancer yet, and no feelings of nausea from the chemo. I am mostly bald, so I am not worrying about hair loss. My daughter who inherited my original hairy legs, is envious I believe about my current smooth legs. From the heart, Ray |

Ray Glad to hear you are doing as well as you are. My father in law went through a series of chemo and has been totally cancer free for over 8 years. Interestingly he was going bald when he started went totally bald and now has a better head of hair than he did 10 years before he started chemo. Again brother be assured we are all pulling for you and your in our prayers. Let God's mercies be poured out upon you. EdB |
