Bible Question: Corinthians 11, In our church they teach that the man is the the womans covering. Is anyone familar with this teaching and what exactly does it mean to be the covering? And also what verses are used to show that a man is a covering? Thanks |
Bible Answer: Terry and Angie, Most likely you are referring to the following: 1 Cor 11:1-4 11:1Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ. 2Now I praise you because you remember me in everything, and hold firmly to the traditions, just as I delivered them to you. 3But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ. NAS The man is the HEAD of the woman, as Christ is the HEAD of the man. This simply describes the spiritual vertical alignment from God to mankind. Is the man the actual covering? The teaching you have received may need a bit more scrutiny. AO |
