Bible Question (short): Power on her head because of angels? |
Question (full): Does anyone know why 1 cor 11:10 says "For this cause ought a woman to have "power on her head" because of the angels. How do we have power on our heads and why because of the angels? I did a search in this forum and found an anwser below that I copied and pasted, but that is from 2001 and we have new people on the forum now who might provide a different answer or can explain it to me better? Thanks . "11:10. *because of the angels.* The insubordination of an uncovered woman (signifying her refusal to recognize the authority of her husband) would offend the angels who observe the conduct of believers in their church gatherings (1 Pet 1:12)" (Ryrie Study Bible, Moody, 1976, 1978). |
