1 Corinthians Chapter 11 Discussion Page 3

Yes that is so true that a woman hair is her glory

The Lord's Supper was instituted so that as a Church, we could come together to remember him. If we consider the Lord and the apostles in the upper room and also the new fledgling Church, the remembrance of His death was always in the company of others, as they partook of the common bread and cup. I don't believe a leader in the Church has to necessarily be the convener and officiator at the Lord's Table; any brother could officiate. The point was that believers who got together to worship the Lord, also took time during their fellowship meal to remember Jesus' sacrifice. This could be done at home, but as an individual? This would appear pointless & suggest to receive a special blessing.

Can one take communion at home ,individually or with family/friends apart from formal church gathering presided over by the elder/presbyter/pastor ?

I think that Poul was the postole of God, and what he was preaching was from God, and he was filled with the holy ghost, therefore what ever Poul was preaching just obey and humble yourself to do and practice it, but if you try to reject it, this means youre denying God. To me its beter all women's not to shave their hair as it is gloy to God

I think Paul was concerned that some of the wealthier folks were bringing in food and even alcohol and others had nothing to eat. So, he told them to eat at home - not at worship in front of people who may not even have enough to eat.

You yourself need to read the Bible with unconditional love and a non judgemental open attitude. Then you would find the discernment you need to understand what Paul is saying. Paul is NOT saying to shave a womans head if she does not wear a head covering. He is comparing her not wearing a head covering to a woman's hair which was given to her a a covering being shaved off. Big difference!

I may be wrong but I thought that a man was not to wear a hat in church and I woman was to wear a hat or scarf.

I dont know how old you are but I am an elderly 72 Christian and lay minister who has a really good knowledge 50 years of studying scriptures. You cannot take one verse and create a whole doctrine based on it. Isaiah 28:10 . But if that makes you happy, who am I to question or be a stumbling block to your faith.

The wicked judge GOD'S chosen saying, We must remember that St.paul was NOT divine and that his commandment to shave off a womans hair who prays without her head being covered is plainly ridiculous. NAY. For Paul speaks by the Holy Ghost. It is written, Who art thou that judges another man's servant? to his own master he stands or falls. Yea, he shall be held up: for God is able to make him stand.

Robert on 1 Corinthians 11-What I understand is you still excuse disobeying like most Christians- John 5:22 For the Father judgeth no man Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

You really are without proper understanding of scripture. sorry to see that. The issue was that the judging that people would do was to condemnation in a self righteous way. We have no right to condemn, that's Christ job. you make judgements everyday when you see wrongs committed in this world. It you see a robber committing a robbery, you judge that as wrong and may even try to stop it.

Robert on 1 Corinthians 11-Robert--you are quite free to ignore Jesus's commandment "Judge ye not"--some think Christ should be obeyed--your choice--good luck!

So what scripture actually says this..."non-judgemental unconditional love". Therein are some things hard to understand, which those who are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other Scriptures, unto their own destruction. Do we as Christians have an obligation to judge right from wrong. We dont condemn but we must judge. This approach is used to throw right from wrong out the window

We must remember that St.paul was NOT divine and that his commandment to shave off a womans hair who prays without her head being covered is plainly ridiculous. Indeed it behoves Christians to return to Christ's commandments of non-judgemental unconditional love if Christianity has any chance of surviving into the future--and foresake their sin-seeing habits!

Let everything be done decently and in order. i think that we are getting back to bare bones times ahead, gathering in homes or small groups is the way the church began. We can believe for miracles and see the Holy Spirit move wherever three or more agree...let's stay strong.

Wow Awesome. its just a place of worship. and you know what.. in the smaller places of worship the spirit moves more easily. no problem with big churches but most of them are about money. we need Jesus not prosperity

Our Lord s Supper: should be: Revered: Respect: Reverence: Home: House of God: Even a Shack: Building does not Matter: GOD s HOLY: AWESOME:PRESENCE IS THERE! Old Days: Brush Arbour Meetings: was held in Dirt Floor Shacks: God always Showed-up: Miracles: Healings: Holy Spirit Baptism: Demons Cast Out: etc: God the Holy Spirit has Left these MEGA BUILDINGS: The Falling Away is now RAMPANT APOSTASY!

i think that it is talking about how a woman should cover their head because if you are a woman if you do not cover their head their should be shame are be shave or shorn

The Bible says as often as you do this it’s not just for pass over

Yes I would have the same understanding as Ray Smith in that eat drink and be merry at home if you so wish. Not in the house of our Lord. In his house its done as a rememberance to God and Jesus Christ in whom we respect.

The Lord Said, As Often as You Eat this Bread--- (Verse 26)As Often, is More then Once a Year. Some Every Month, or Every Week or 6 Times a Year. They are Showing The Lord's Death Till He Returns. You are to Search Your Heart to See if You have Sinned(Verse 27-29)They Go to Church to Worship and Sing Praises to God. And More Fellowship After Services. Christ and The Disciples Eat Together Often

No, you're not correct. This is speaking on two things. People shouldn't go to church to have a feast, as many of these churches do. They bring food, just to hang out together to eat, in CHURCH. God does not like that. Also, churches who think they do good in God's eyes, when they have bread and wine, every Sunday. That's dead wrong. The bread and wine is only to be taken at Passover, annually.

Yes, It's Very Right. Some that have Money Made it a Picnic. The Others had No Money or Food. If I'm One of The Poor I Would be in Sin for Sure. I would Want Some of that Food. I would be Mad because They have and I Don't. If I had a Chance I would Steal something and then I would Lie. Church Dinners are OK. Everyone Can Eat

Am I correct in that these paticular scriptures is in regards to The Lords Supper and not fellowshipping dinners at the church?

Ray: Any Comment, Question, Thought is Helpful to All of Us. We are Iron Sharpening Iron. My Grandmother would not Eat at Church so I didn't. When they came together One would Bring Food,sit there and Eat Verse 21,Verse 22 One would feel Ashamed because they're to Poor. Today We have Church dinners,it's for Rich or Poor All can Eat. There should Never be a Charge or Combined with The Lord's Supper

i am some what hesitant to comment i feel humbled among well versed people of the scriptures the problem that i have is i dont beleive in having a social meal in the church. maybe i am over looking something but when Paul says what dont u have houses to eat and in . seems to me he correcting 2 errors they were guilty of making a common meal out of the Lords supper.eat at home not in the Lords hous

AMEN

Verse 16 answers your question. Although it was fine for the converted Jews to observe such old customs if they were doing unto God, it was not apart of the new covenant. BUT IF ANY MAN SEEM CONTENIOUS, WE HAVE NO SUCH CUSTOM, NEITHER THE CHURCHES OF GOD.

The covenant between God, and Christ was completed when Christ on the cross said, "it is finished".

My comment is in form of question, how big or far does the hair of a woman would be by size so as to cover her head?
