Bible Question (short): Why are angels offended? |
Question (full): I did state that this is a difficult passage to interpret. I was offering my view and my reason for that view. I do not claim to have all truth or revelation. There is much about the Bible that I do not know. But I do believe in intrepreting the passages that seem 'more obscure' based upon passages that are clearer. I do agree, obviously, that 1 Cor 11:10 says, 'because of the angels.' Where I'm 'fuzzy' is, what does that mean? Paul doesn't explain it. Yes, 1 Pet 1:12 does say that angels long to look into these things (our redemption) but I don't have a firm grasp as to the meaning. And though we may respect Charles Ryrie as a great theologian, his commentary is not divinely inspired. Do you believe that women should keep completely silent in the church building i.e. no talking, no singing, no teaching Sunday School? Where does it say in scripture that the angels are offended and what the repurcusions of that are? |
