1 Corinthians 11:1 – I’ve seen a lot of silliness come from mis-applying this verse.
\n1 Corinthians 11:2-26 – This is an interesting, yet possibly contentious, passage about head coverings. I’ve seen women who come away from this with a conviction that they shouldn’t pray or attend church without a head covering. I’ve seen few men teach this aside from Alan Rouse<\/a>, but even he was led to his convictions by his daughters (good post and comment thread).
\nI don’t have a conviction on this. It seems that the passage is cultural, at least it ‘feels’ that way. There are no other references, in either the New Testament or the Old that I’m aware of to the need for women to cover their head. Of course, what I believe the passage ‘feels’ like may have no bearing on what it actually is about.
\nInterestingly, I cannot recall any discussion of men having long hair in any of the discussions (including Alan’s) of the issue. It seems that either both ae important,or neither is. Today, most Christians fall into the ‘neither’ camp.
\nIt sees that this all evolves around respect. Paul says the man ought to not be covered out of respect to the one he is under – Christ – and the woman ought to be covered out of respect to the one she is under – man. At the very least, those lines of respect must be honored, what you believe about coverings and long hair is between you and God.
\nI’d love to hear any of my reader’s opinions on this (and I know at least one who has researched it).
\n1 Corinthians 11:17-34 – Paul challenges teh Corinthians on how they’ve treated the Lord’s Supper. He challenges them to “examine themselves” before taking it. In my church, we take it every week and the frequency can make it so familiar that it doesn’t get treated with the reverence and importance it ought to. I’ve been to other churches where communion is the same each time, read from a book and following the same pattern each time. That can do the same thing, make it common instead of Holy.
\nRegardless of method or timing, however, it’s up to the one taking communion to pause and reflect, examining themselves to make sure they are treating the body and blood of our Lord with the proper respect, reverence and gratitude. Our corporate practices can aid or hinder that process, but that does not change where the responsibility for reverence lies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
