Because of the Angels

(1/3) > >>

Gregor:
Greetings,

1Cor.11:10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.

Any thoughts on what this phrase means or is refering to? Thanks in advance,
G.

Hey G, This is a post that I would rather avoid to be honest with you,yet I always feel a sense of indebtedness to respond to a persons post when they are asking a question,because I too look for feedback when I post. As with all scriptures you have to read the entire passage in order to get the context,kind of like happening a person's conversation and only hearing the last tidbit of what they were saying thereby losing or missing there entire point. I am not suggesting that you are doing this G,just that we all find ourselves doing this from time to time when we isolate scriptures and take them out of there intended context and in my opinion end up falling into ditches,and booby traps. Having said that Isaiah 6 vs 2 reads Above it stood the seraphim's: each one had six wings,with two he COVERED his face,and with two he COVERED his feet,and with two he did fly.Ezekiel 1 vs 11 Thus were there faces and their wings were stretched upward two wings of every one were joined one to another,and two COVERED  there bodies. The angels veiled themselves with there wings in the presence of God as Paul was stating that the women or woman was to veil herself,or have a sign of authority over her head. Vs 16 seems to provide an answer to this question G where it speaks to this covering.But if a woman has long hair,it is her glory? for long hair is given to her as a covering.Vs 6 speaks to this as well saying that a woman should shave her head if she will not cover it,and if this is a shame to have her hair cut off then she should cover it or allow it to grow.There's more here G to ferret out but I'll stop here for now.Peace

Gregor:
Thanks for the reply sonofone. I do understand the reference to the covering, as you mentioned, and I know it's talking about authority, but what gets me, specifically is the "because of the angels" phrase. I don't want to take a "snap-shot" out of an entire movie and make up something out of it. I'm looking for some perspectives (preferably with scriptural references) to understand what Paul is saying. It doesn't say: because of the serpent, because of man, because of demons, but rather it says angels. The word "because" generally implies the "reason" for what was just stated. What is this reason?? It's got me stumped. Are the angels mentioned here the angels that work with satan (supposedly the 1/3 that fell), or does a woman with no covering pose some temptation to the angels? Is it for their sake?
Anyone have any thoughts on this specific phrase "because of the angels?" Thanks. I'll be patient. If you don't have a scriptural reference, I'm open to hearing opinions too, as they sometimes lead to finding the scriptures.

I can see where you may be thinking about the sons of men that made children with the daughters of God. Some refer to this as fallen angels having copulation with women of the earth which I never understood how this could even be remotely possible.For how could they produce after our kind the bible says that we are made a little lower than the angels so are angels to be thought of as having sexual organs and lustful desires and the ability to have sex with humans? Any way I digress. I guess G, for that is all I can do at this point is refer to my original answer to this post and that is to say that all of us have to approach GOD WITH THE proper covering or humility,even in descending order,Jesus to God the Angels to God,the man and woman to Jesus and in marriage the man to the woman and the woman to the man.

Gregor:
I'm not even going near the Gen.6 presumption by some that the angels would have sex with women. I guess temptation was the wrong word. Maybe I should have used the word target, seeing as Eve was deceived?? I don't know. Just trying to get some input. I'm not suggesting anything at this point, as I haven't formed any conclusions. Just wish others would give some input. Thanks again sonofone.
G.
