"Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth
his head." May a woman speak in church?
(11:5-6) "If the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn."
If a woman refuses to cover her head in church, then her her head must be shaved.
(11:7-9) "A man ... is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man."
Men are made in the image of God; women in the image of men. Women were created from and for men.
11:14Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?
11:15But if a woman have
long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.
11:16
But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the
churches of God.
11:17
Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come
together not for the better, but for the worse.
11:18
For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there
be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.
11:19
For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved
may be made manifest among you.
11:20
When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the
Lord's supper.
11:21
For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is
hungry, and another is drunken.
11:22
What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church
of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I
praise you in this? I praise you not.
11:23
For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That
the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:
11:24
And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my
body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
11:25
After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying,
This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink
it, in remembrance of me.
11:26For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the
Lord's death till he come.
(Jehovah's Witnesses)
"For as often as you eat this loaf and drink this cup, you keep
proclaiming the death of the Lord, until he arrives." (NWT). If Christ arrived in 1914, as the governing body
teaches, then why do Jehovah's Witnesses continue to partake of the bread and wine? Shouldn't they have
stopped in 1914?
(11:27, 29) "He that eateth and
drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself."
Those that "eateth and drinketh unworthily" will go to hell.
"For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep."
Those who eat and drink unworthily often get sick and die.(And then they go to hell.)
11:27
Wherefore whosoever
shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty
of the body and blood of the Lord.
11:28
But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink
of that cup.
11:29
For he that eateth and
drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself,
not discerning the Lord's body.
11:30For this cause many are weak and sickly among
you, and many sleep.
11:31
For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
11:32
But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not
be condemned with the world.
11:33
Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for
another.
11:34
And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto
condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.
