Intro:
Paul begins answering this question by pointing out what the Corinthians were doing right when they got together in Church to keep the ordinances he had previously taught them, as they have demonstrated an outward understanding of God's created order and how that plays out in their worship services.
It's fine and well that you understand how to worship Me on a surface-level plain, but...
We need to understand that while the outward presentation of how we worship God in our public church services is important to God, and we need to keep our outward appearances in a way that protects the testimony of the Gospel, we have to get deeper in our walk with God and allow His Word to truly transform us from the inside out.
Reproof - It is wrong for you to live shallow in your worship
Rebuke - Satan for deceiving you into thinking you can be alright with God by fixing the outward, and not addressing the inner-person.
Exhortation - Let's have church services that are decent and in order, but let's not stop until we have truly connected with God at the point of our deepest needs.
Main Thought: Why do Christians try to stay so safe in their outward display and yet stray so far away from being truly Spirit-filled in their fellowship with God?
Because Satan Blinds and Sin Binds.
Sub-intro:
Connect the larger context of Paul addressing questions presented to him by the Corinthian Believers (1 Cor.
7:1; 8:1).
Body:
I. Praises & Blessings (1 Cor.
11:2).
Tact - addressing problems by beginning with praises.
A. Their Diligent Remembrance (v.
2a).
Let us be diligent to remember those that God leads us pray for and support.
B. Their Disciplined Remembrance (v.
2b).
The word for ordinances is paradosis, usually used in a negative sense in the New Testament.
It is used of “traditions,” especially the traditions of the Jewish rabbis.
The word is used here and in 2 Thessalonians 2:15; 3:6, positively.
It seems, when used in this way, to refer to church order and to the two specific ordinances the Lord did give to the church—baptism and the communion feast.
Jesus' use of this word was negative in every context (see Matt. 15 & Mk. 7).
Paul (with his pharisee background uses the word in a more positive way than Jesus did, and rightly so, as the church was founded on the doctrines of the Apostles, with Christ as both the Cornerstone and Head (Gal.
1:14; Col. 2:8; 2 Thess.
2:15; 3:6).
C. A Delivered Remembrance (v.
2c).
II.
Protecting Biblical Partnerships (1 Cor.
11:3-6).
Protecting the Metaphysical Head
A. Delineation of Roles in Creation (v.
3).
This brings us back to basics.
God is a God of order (1 Cor.
14:40), an order that reaches back into His own nature.
He insists on order in the universe.
Science is predicated on the fact that this universe is based on order.
This order extends into human affairs, to government, to the home, to the church.
In terms of human life the woman has a head, the man; the man has a head, Christ, who by virtue of the fact that He is God, absolutely and eternally, takes priority and preeminence over the headship vested in the man.
The man is answerable for his actions, ultimately and inescapably, to Christ.
By the same token the woman is answerable to the man.
This does not imply male superiority, nor does it imply female inferiority.
It simply states it to be a fact that, in their respective roles in society, in the home, and in the church, this is God’s ordained order and state of affairs.
No amount of argument is going to change it.
All attempts to defy it can only lead to breakdown and chaos.
When a person purchases an appliance or a piece of equipment it normally comes with the manufacturer’s instructions and warranty.
Usually the warranty is valid only so long as the instructions are heeded.
The manufacturer knows the nature and complexity of the equipment better than anyone.
Alter all, he designed and made it.
If the instructions come with the warning, “Press button ‘A’ before you press button ‘B’ ” it is because of some basic requirement connected with the structure and nature of the machine.
If a person reverses the order and insists on pressing button B before button A, and things go wrong, what can he expect?
The instructions were clear and plain.
Human life and society are far more complex than any man-made appliance.
We would do well to heed the Maker’s instructions.
He categorically states that the head of the man is Christ and that the head of the woman is the man.
That is the way things are.
B. Dishonoring God-established Authorities (vv.
4-5).
How do you think this statement would be received by an Orthodox Jewish Rabbi (even in Paul's day) with their custom of wearing a yarmulke?
Note - "head" is synonomous with the idea of "authority."
C. Dissuading Shameful Associations (v. 6).
Both Jewish and Greek women wore such a covering, according to Conzelmann.
After sifting both the written and graphic sources, he concluded, “For a Jewess to go out with her head uncovered is a disgrace (3 Macc.
4:6) and grounds for divorce …; it can also be assumed that respectable Greek women wore a head covering in public.”11
Paul asserts that for a woman not to wear a covering would be as disgraceful as having her hair cut, a sign of a disgraced wife or mother.
According to Tacitus the husband of an adulterous wife cut off her hair, stripped her naked, and drove her from her house; and according to Aristophanes the mother of unworthy children should have her hair shorn.12
In Judaism a woman going out in public without a head covering was considered so shameful that it was grounds for divorce without the husband being obligated to pay the ketubah.13
To appear at the public assembly, then, with inappropriate headdress would disgrace one’s head.
During the German occupation of France and other European countries during World War II, some women collaborated with the Germans and consorted with German soldiers and officials.
After the war their fellow citizens showed their anger at such compromise by seizing the women and shaving off all their hair.
They then became objects of public shame and disgrace.
Paul uses a similar picture here to illustrate how strongly the Holy Spirit feels about the respective roles of men and women in the church.
III.
Protecting Biblical Powers (1 Cor.
11:7-12).
Protecting the Metaphorical Head
Thus κεφαλή is a metaphorical equivalent of ἀρχή, “first,” “ruler.”
A. Due Honors (v. 7).
Paul adds the footnote that “the woman is the glory of the man.”
He does not say that she is his “image and glory.”
The image of Adam was borne by Seth, not Eve (Gen.
5:3).
Paul does not deny that the woman also bears the image of God.
On the contrary, he clearly implies that she does, by deliberately avoiding completing the parallel, by not saying that she is man’s image and glory.
The woman, he implies, was just as much created in God’s image as Adam was.
He thus endorses again the fundamental equality of the sexes.
B. Devoted Purposes (vv.
8-10).
When God made man He made him to be ruled from his head When He made woman He made her to be ruled from her heart.
The distinction is as real as the physical difference between men and women.
The fact that man is made to be ruled from his head and woman to be ruled from her heart does not mean that women cannot think.
We all know some women who can out-think some men.
Nor does it mean that men cannot feel.
We all know some men who can feel far more deeply than some women.
Just the same, the basic fact remains.
Men tend to be ruled from the head, women from the heart.
What Satan did in the temptation was to reverse God’s order.
He first of all directed temptation to Eve’s head and engaged her in an intellectual discussion as to whether or not it was right to do something God said was wrong.
Her attempts to fend him off were all too clumsy.
Three times she misquoted the two verses which, for her, constituted the entire Word of God and which was her sole defense.
He raised in her mind a doubt about God’s Word, followed it up with a denial, and ended with a delusion.
He offered to set her free from the hampering restrictions imposed upon her by God’s Word and bestow upon her godlike status and power.
This overwhelming appeal to her intellect and vanity was more than she could withstand.
She was deceived and overthrown.
