  • Ben Weaver on 1 Corinthians 11:11 - 13 years ago
    In 1 Cor. 2:2, Paul states that he is determined to present only Jesus Christ and him crucified. Starting at 7:1, he gives double answers to their non-essential questions. So here in ch. 11 he first presents the case for descendants of the first creation (Adan & Eve), then from v. 10 on, for those newly created "In the Lord". A born-again woman's source of connection to God is no longer through Adam but through Jesus. V.3 says Christ is the HEAD (source of life) for EVERY man, indicating both male and female. Isn't Paul saying (v.16) "we have no such custom (as coverings to indicate the fall of man) neither do the churches of God". An expired symbol can become a religious idol distracting us from Jesus.
