rapture, Deuteronomy 22:5 (NIV) A woman must not wear men's clothing, nor a man wear women's clothing, for the LORD your God detests anyone who does this. Jesus Christ created man and woman to be distinctly different. Satan has been very successful in minimizing the differences. In the early 20th century, short hair on a woman was considered a sign of rebellion. In the 1970's, long hair on a man was considered a sign of rebellion. Society has now accepted this blurring of the sexes, but the rebellious message is as clear as it was when the Holy Spirit through Paul discussed it 2,000 years ago. 1 Corinthians 11:3-16 (NIV) Now I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God. 4 Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head. 5 And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head--it is just as though her head were shaved. 6 If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off; and if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, she should cover her head. 7 A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man. 8 For man did not come from woman, but woman from man; 9 neither was man created for woman, but woman for man. 10 For this reason, and because of the angels, the woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head. 11 In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman. 12 For as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God. 13 Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14 Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, 15 but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering. 16 If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice--nor do the churches of God. Every directive from God is important. Violation of this directive has aided in the confusion of society. The Word of God is very clear. In addition to God's directive on the length of hair for men and women, there are other spiritual forces pressuring the way people dress. It is amazing how mankind does things with Biblical roots and does not understand why. Natural man is motivated by spiritual forces of which he is unaware. Ephesians 6:12 (NIV) For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. God bless, see you (in the) rapture :) |
