Bible Discussion Thread

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!

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.

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.

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

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!

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-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.

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.
