Tithes were an ordinance for people of Israel. As a Christian, all you have is God's and how you "give/share" is what is from your heart.
"Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver." 2 Corinthians 9:7
The word "Ordinances" in our v,2 is defined in this letter in ch,2:2, which tells that these ordinance were Jesus Christ an him crucified, not about stuff which was for the daughters of the first Adam. Nevertheless, for believers, it otherwise, being "In the Lord" (v.11)
The original word for "Head" in our v. 3, is commonly used as, "source or supply, like the head of a river, also translated "Sum" in Acts 22:28.
Our v.10, in the original, has no reference to wearing a symbol, but simply says, she shall have power" on (which is defined "jurisdiction, right, privilege, on or over head" because she has angels ministering to her. (see Heb.1:14 )
In our v.16, The original word for "Custom" is defined "An established practice" and must refer to the practices which only the daughters of the first Adam adhere to, not those "In the Lord."
What was happening in the Corinthian Church, was that there were many who just looked at this occasion as a time to have a meal with little or no regard to its meaning & to others there, who had not been served as yet. In those days, the Communion Table was actually a Fellowship meal & during that time of gathering, one would rise, take the bread & the cup & draw the believers' hearts into contemplation of the Lord's sacrificial work; similar to the Passover meal that Jesus & the disciples enjoyed together ( Matthew 26:19-29).
So Paul was chastising them for their irreverence, & also approaching this sacred time with hearts not right before God (i.e. they may have believed by going through its motions, some cleansing or sanctifying benefit would be gained - and many do & think this in the Church today). To this type of gluttony & false application, Paul is dealing with them & stating that God does not let this type of behaviour go unpunished. We need to be careful too - it's better to let the emblems pass by us, if we are harbouring any type of sin that needs dealing with & confession.
Because of unforgiving after taking the
supper (Communion)?
Here we see the truth of the Godhead .

Two verses on judging, chasning, and condemning and two verses on how to avoid
Them. These verses have nothing to do with the Lord's supper observance and all to
do with the love feast that happens before the Lord's supper. Note vs. 34 repeats part

His blood was given for our redemption his body in part for our physical bodies.
By His stripes we are healed spiritually and physicaly..
Revelation 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; (This is toward the end of the tribulation)
TV preachers will do anything to get you to buy their books for only 19.95
when this happens we shall all know it and you will not need to buy a book from a TV preacher to understand it.

And Jesus never said His Body would be Broken, but only Given....
Someone or an angel told me that it is the same as saying, thank you Jesus, or praises to my Lord and savior or hallelujah thank you Jesus. Is that true???
