I Cor. 11 just seems to jump out there with no precedent, it just confuses me. I'm sure the people he was writing to understood his point, but I'm still not quite understanding where that passage had other witness in scripture. |
Perhaps not so many Jewish customs continued... Paul had strong words for those who refused to see Messiah revealed.
