There are no Jews, no Greeks, etc...part 36

While it is so that there is no male or female in Christ, spiritually, and in the grand scheme of things, in the physical world, women are to be submissive to men. That does not mean enslaved, nor does that mean that women cannot rule countries or sit as judges or be senators. What that means is that under certain circumstances women are submissive to the leadership of men. One of those circumstances is in church. Isaiah 3:6-25 speaks about this. Women had become show-offs and prideful and they forgot that God made them and they should follow God. Since women have a definition in the flesh, they also have a hierarchy in the flesh. The connection to this is that in this world man is the head of woman. That is what 1 Corinthians is speaking about, not about the literal maintaining of a woman’s hair length, but of the figurative covering representing the submission of woman to man. The relationship between men and women is interesting in this regard, if woman is submissive to man, then why are women considered equal spiritually. The reason being is that is the way God planned it. I know that sounds like parents saying, “Because I said so”. But it truly is the way God planned to do things. In fact, during old testament times, men had to purify themselves when they came in contact with women. (Numbers 31:9-34)
