IMAGE AND SIMILARITY
Let's examine the Scriptures on this practice in the Congregation that question is of our visitors and even doubt discussed by other religious institutions. Focus the analysis based on the Scriptures, scrutiny following the instructions of our ancestors who served God under the guidance of the Spirit of God, let's see:
Acts 17:11 "... and every day studying the scriptures to see if it was true what they say. "
Nehemiah 8:8 "They read in the book of the Law God, explaining and clarifying the meaning, so to understand the reading. "
1 Corinthians 10:32 "Do not be offensive either to Jews or Greeks or the church of God."
After this brief explanation we turn to Bible study specifically on what basis the church for the brothers to take the long hair and beard use, and our sisters the use of veil that covers her hair, we read:
1 Corinthians 11:14,15 "Do not you (the same as saying" we ") teaches that nature itself is dishonorable man grow his hair while the woman is honorable long hair? Because he has been given the hair instead of the veil. " (CENTURY Study Bible-KJV Updated).
1 Corinthians 11:14,15 "Nature itself teaches us that it is a shame that the man let his hair grow, but instead is an honor for women to leave it to grow, because she has been given to long hair cover your head "(The Bible, Good News, popular version, second edition).
We have written the same biblical quote that expresses the same message differently, as you can read and check in your homes, the first question but does not claim, whereas the second says yes. Would ask to which of them give as acceptable?
The CENTURY Study Bible (we write it as the cover says), we're wondering if nature be justified dishonorable man with long hair and take honor in women. And then says "Because he has been given the hair instead of the veil" but does not say who is it for women? or is it for man?
BIBLE In Good News, says yes, it's a shame that a man brings his hair long and honored women according to what nature teaches us.
The same letter submitted as a question and without question (no question marks) change the meaning of interpretation, we as translators wanting to establish their position interpreting the sacred writings spelling omissions made it very sensitive to wanting to serve God according to His will. So how can we resolve this mixed message? Fortunately God has given His people knowledge to dispel the doubts (Proverbs 1:4 "... and give them knowledge and reflection). In the two biblical versions cited, and even in other Bible versions available, not cited here, is a common keyword and all "nature" as the explanatory base of honorable and dishonorable use of long hair on men or in women.
Sea the Bible that we explain on this nature. Ask what nature is telling us about Paul?, Read 1 Corinthians 15:49 "And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of heaven" in this biblical quote can understand that there are two natures: one earth and one Divine. Peter speaks about this, see 2 Peter 1: 4 "... so that by it you get to take part in the nature of God ...." So to understand the nature of God, let us examine how God created us in the beginning, see Genesis 1:26 "And God went on to say: 'Let us make man in our image, after our likeness ..." which confirms once again that man was created a heavenly image, the image and likeness of God.
How is the image of God, "read Daniel 7:9" I saw until thrones were placed, and sat Ancient of Days. His clothing was white as snow, and hair of his head was like pure wool. .... " Daniel describes us this Ancient of Days, which is God, has hair like pure wool therefore created man with hair like him But how do you know if God described his hair is long, and evidencing and must take it to the man? To understand this let us read Leviticus 19:2 "Speak to the whole congregation of the children of Israel, saying: 'Be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy. " And what should practice living in holiness, as a member of the family of God, "read: Numbers 6: 5" ... be holy to the Lord and let his hair grow freely of his head. " Leviticus 19:27 "Do not cut down the ends of your hair and not estropearéis the corners of thy beard." With these quotes from the Bible, we understand that God has a natural growth of hair and beard, because it is holy and enact their children the same practice, which is the image of the Heavenly God. This is the nature of God.
Now yes we are in a position to understand what Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 11:14,15; then, for that is the nature of God is not shameful or embarrassing long hair, whereas for the following nature earth it is, because it is governed according to human standards that deviate from the holiness of God. As for the woman who serves God is also correct long hair, but should cover as it is ordained by God. When God clothed man and woman were given clothing that distinguished them, this fulfills a creative order. So Paul teaches in 1 Corinthians 11:5-10 "For every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, because gives the same as if she were shaven. For if the woman does not cover, you cut all your hair and if it is disgraceful for a haircut or shave, which is covered. The man should not cover his head because he is the image and glory of God, but woman is the glory of man ... In addition, the man was not created because of the woman, but woman for man's sake. Therefore, women should have a sign of authority on her head because of the angels. " 1 Peter 3:5 "For this is also adorned in former times the holy women who hoped in God, being subject to their husbands." This is the reason that justifies our sisters wear the veil on her head as a sign of authority over his head.
But as we have discussed, has no value to God, the image and likeness of men and women, but we live in holiness, consider what Psalm 68:21 says "But God shall wound the head of his enemies, the hairy walking on top of their sins. "
Dear brethren, the celestial image is therefore the custom of the church of God, which respects and strives to implement the Sacred Commandments of God who gives birth to holiness, read Numbers 15: 40.
After all explained with scriptural basis and we can respond to what 1 Corinthians 11:13 tells us "Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?
All God's servants, members of the Jewish congregation lived according to this commandment holy, let's see: 2 Samuel 10:4-5
"So Hanun took David's servants, and shaved off half his beard, ... I told David ... The king told them: "Remain at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return." This incident reveals that it was a usual custom of God, not human tradition, carrying the beard on his people in fulfillment of Leviticus 19:27.
Ezra 9:3 "Upon hearing this, I tore my garment and my mantle, I pulled the hair of my head and my beard, and sat appalled. " 1 Samuel 21:10-13
"... David ... changed his behavior before them, pretending to be mad ... and he dropped his saliva on his beard." King David, also wore a beard, as he explains this event. The use of beard growth was complemented by the hair and vice versa, as again reaffirms Leviticus 21:5 "Do not shave your head or cut the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in your body."
This is the separation Judges 16:17 "... and said, never ran a razor over my head because I am a Nazarite unto God from my mother's womb. If I am shaven, then my strength will go from me, I become weak and be like any other man ", so Samson was Nazarene and all the servants of God were, are and will Nazarenes, a special people, some from the womb of his mother and others for a spiritual rebirth, read John 3:3,7.
Paul also practiced in all the churches confirmed, we can certainly infer from reading the words of one speaker that its false allegations highlighted a custom of the church itself, see Acts 24: 1-5 "... For we have found this man is a plague, and a promoter of sedition among the Jews throughout the world and leader of the sect of the Nazarenes " we explained what it means to be a Nazarene.
Well, the practice of God's nature, it is then a consequence of the renewal of our flawed way of thinking when you do not know, but God raised up a man after his own heart to teach us how to live well in harmony the will of God, read
Jeremiah 33:7 "will change the fate of Judah and Israel, and to reconstruct them from being as before, we have illustrated how God created man and woman in principle and its duties and rights given his holy Law that contains
Ezekiel 24:24 Ezekiel is for you an example, and all he did make you. When this happens, know that I am the Lord "Romans 8:29
" We know that those who foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son so that he might be the firstborn among many brothers "
Colossians 1:15" He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation "
2Cor 4:4" Then the god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so they will not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God "
Thanks to the brilliance of this Gospel, the great mercy of God, now we have the image of God, the heavenly, following the recommendations cited in the following books:
Romans 12:2 "Do not be conformed to the This time, on the contrary, change their thinking so that they change their way of life ... "
Colossians 3:10" And have put on the back, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of that that created "
This was the custom of serving God, according to the law of God, as Paul says in 1 Corinthians 11:16" In Anyway, if anyone wants to discuss this matter, should know that neither we nor the churches of God know any other custom. "
There are brothers (as) that for reasons of their dependency status to working standards can not bear the separation, read this recommendation: 1 Corinthians 7:24 "Brothers, each abide with God in condition as it was called "
1 Corinthians 7:21" Art thou called being a servant? Do not worry, but if you can be free, of course procúralo. " You have to act carefully in the decision, to avoid having to renounce the faith.
Now we can better understand the parable that the Lord Jesus left us, read
Mark 13:28,29 "Learn this lesson of the fig tree: When its branch becomes tender and sprouts leaves, you realize that already summer is near. Similarly, when you see these things happening, know that the Son of Man is already at the door. "
hope to have contributed to understand the concern that we have done to get through your questions, and how to end this message I still could go on explaining God's guidance, we cite the following reading:
Philippians 4: 9 "I you learned, received, heard and seen in me, do: and the God of peace will be with you "
2 Thessalonians 3:16" And the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all. "
Amen. Youth
