"For This Cause" A Discussion About Angelic Hair

And yet people ask, "How are we separate then?" as if there is no way to conceive separation just as Jesus mentioned it... love for one another.

...to the choir, to myself::: I've just begun to get my house in order!!

Here's a thought. Maybe many want to ignore what Jesus said because they have a hard time loving their brother.

They may have been the only ones NOT doing it and needed correction or they were the only ones doing it wrong and needed correction...

Then again, as we all know, letters were knowingly shared with other churches...Maybe Paul did not feel he needed to make specific letter to other churches

No where in this verse does it say she can do something with her hair to please her husband. Rather it is saying she is to have a sign of authority on her head because of the order of creation

I received a phone call yesterday from a friend who was disturbed by a testimony in her church from a woman who said she was thinking of cutting her hair and donating it because she was scheduled for chemo and would lose it anyway, but decided to pray about it and was shown angels holding their breath. When she decided not to cut it, the angels let out a sigh of relief.

She would have been cutting her angels off in cutting her hair, was the assertion.

Okay, I have heard a lot of testimonies about hair and some of them I think are very powerful (the testimony and what God did, NOT the hair) but the above is just laughable!!

Also the order and regulation of the gifts are only found in Corinthians. But does that mean the instructions are not for the church in general????

Communion is NOT for Corinthians only yet this passage proves it's continuance and order.

Concerning the covering for ladies Paul makes it clear "NEITHER THE CHURCHES OF GOD." A church that allows women to be uncovered in worship is NOT a Church of God!

So all these subjects rise and fall on the importance of each other.

CHARITY is defined NO where else but here was charity only for the Corinthians?? It is certainly mentioned other places but only defined here.

9Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.

10For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.

11Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.

12For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.

What does the "for this cause" mean? What is it referring to?

Why did Paul make this statement?
1 Corinthians 11
16But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.

Let's shed a little light on that...



1Cr 11:16 If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice–nor do the churches of God.

NIV

[Coonskinner]

1Cr 11:16 But if anyone wants to argue about this, all I can say is that we have no other custom than this, and all the churches of God feel the same way about it.

NLT

I haven't read all of this thread........maybe something like this has already been said. But maybe if we did an in-depth study on angels (which I have not done) we would have a better understanding of what Paul was telling us.

I do know that angels recognize authority and obedience. Possibly this tells us something?

It's all very interesting. Those scriptures are not there for nothing.
