1 | To understand one verse ! | 1 Cor 11:16 | EdB | 103442 | ||
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 |

My main point is that 1 Cor 11:16 is translated with two exactly opposite meanings.Compare the NKJV to NIV for example. This is odd. I hear people understand it one way or another depending on the version they use. Thanks Terry | ||||||
3 | To understand one verse ! | 1 Cor 11:16 | wdc | 103473 | ||
I find this happens a lot when I study the different translations of the Bible. So I started to study Greek to help my understanding, and I found out that not all translations or based on the same Greek text. In other words, there is more than one Greek text also. Now I really got a headache. I don't like using the KJV, but the Church where I pastor is KJV only, and they get really upset if I read a passage and it says something different from what they are reading. I prefer the NKJV or the NASB, but I get confused sometime when read verses and a wording is different, even as small as "the" in some places. Some places I read, the word "the" makes a lot of difference to me in the meaning of the verse. O well, I'm rambling here. I don't have the answer to this question, I wish I did. I use the KJV because it keeps peace in the Church and I believe that is what the Lord would have me do. Maybe one day He will lead to a place where it is not believed that Jesus spoke in the 1611 English language. later...wdc |
