Head covering is not brethen distintive!
at that time, the people in corinth are very very dirty. They built a temple called Acrocorinth which is the temple of Ero (lust)
Paul preach there 6 months
1 Cor = AD55
Pentecost = AD29

God's Eternal Plan
God the Father not God the Mother
God the Son not God the Daughter
OT saints under Priests (not female)
NT saints under Elders (not pastor)
every single job, male allow to do, women also allow to do, except 1 job!
the condition of Priests in the bible is very strict!
1. from Levits
2. male
3. more than 30 years old
the church is not govern by 1 leader!
Chapter 11 ---- 3 symbols: Head, Bread, Wine
1 Co 14:40 --- worship God in a fitting and orderly way
God has his own principles for the world order, home order and church order
the way of God never change!
tradition in Paul's Day (when they pray)
1. Jewish ---- both men and women cover their heads
2. Romans --- both men and women cover their heads
3. Greek ------ both men and women don't cover their heads
bible ---------- men must not cover their head and women must cover their heads
except some rare occasion: 2 Samuel 15:30 David cover his head when his son died
1 Co 11:2
holding to the teaching
1 Co11:3 (3 headship)
the head of women is man
the head of man is Christ
the head of Christ is God
* when Eve takes the forbidden fruit, God did not ask Eve at the beginning but He asked Adam because he is the head of Eve.
1 Co 11:4
when man covered his heads, it dishonor his head
man is the image and glory of God
1 Co 11:5
women is the glory of man
WHY head covering???
1. woman's head is the glory of man
2. woman is made from man
3. head covering is a symbol of a sign of authority 服权柄的记号 and it let the angels see the obedience of woman
wine and bread also are symbol and don't care what kind of them
WORSHIP
1. prepare ourselves
2. examine ourselves
3. in love
4. in order (head covering, brothers lead)
5. tell God about your heart and your love
Before God descend to Mount Sinai, He told Moses to ask the people to prepare themselves for 3 days. So do we, prepare ourselves before we meet the Lord in worship.
Habakkuk 2:4
the righteous will live by his faith
Romans 1:17
Galatians 3:11
Hebrews 10:38
we are justified by faith
salvation 救恩
redemption 救赎
heresy 异端 which means Jesus is not enough, need to plus something
Gal 1: 6-9
if someone preach other gospel to you, let him be accursed
to God, there's only 1 way to heaven!!!
Romans 5:1
justified by faith, not work
无罪 ---- 良心 ------（the flood)--- 人治 ----- 应许（族长） ----- 律法 ------ 恩典
良心：Heb11:4-5 by faith Abel & Enoch
人治：Heb11:7 by faith Noah
应许：Heb11:8 by faith Abraham
律法：Heb11:24 by faith Moses
from the beginning till the end, salvation is justified by faith!
Gen 15:6 & Roman 4:3
From OT & NT ---- both justified by Faith
When Abraham was 80 years old, he justified by faith
When Abraham was 99 years old, he was being circumcised (which means it doesn't lead to salvation)
from beginning till the end, God's grace + moral law
A just judge looks at the law (God also!)
if someone teach you that when there's grace, there will be no law = false teaching!
when there's grace, there will be law
if there's no law, there will be no sin! (impossible) Romans 4:15
Example: Joseph
Gen 39:8-9
Joseph refused his master's wife and said, "how can i sin against God?"
Joseph didn't said, "how can i sin against your husband?"
why? it is because Joseph know breaking God's law is sin!!
so he never say sin against your husband
example: No Law, No Sin!
when you ride a bicycle, will the police comes to you and say you break the law?
NO because when there's no law, you have no sin...
if someone teach you that there's no law before Moses = false teaching!
because no law, no sin, no penalty, no need grace!
Jesus Christ & the law
Mt 5:17
i'm not come to destroy the law but to fulfill it
Mt 5:18
the law will not pass away
The demand of the law is too high, only Jesus can fulfill it for he is both God and Man
Mt 5:19
you break the law, you will be called the least in heaven
you obey the law, you will be called the great in heaven
Therefore, by breaking or obeying the law will not affect your salvation!
Mt5:27-28
it was said (not written), do not commit adultery.
When you look on a woman to lust after her, you had already commit adultery in your heart.
the 10 commandments not as simple as it is mentioned ~
when Jesus was tempted by the devil, Jesus said, 'for it is written...."
John 10: 34 Law = Psalms in the OT （Ps 82:6)
Luke 16:16 Law = OT
Heb 10:1 Law = shadow of the things to come
James 2:11 Law = 10 commandments
the way to glorify God is to live a holy life
