They were meant to be a mutual comfort and blessing, not one a slave and the other an oppressor. They are a compliment to one another. And just as it is the will of God that a woman be in submission to a man, it is also His will that a man not abuse his power over a woman.

          It’s about time for a little Daily Bread Stick. This is a general rule to remember when you read your Bible. How many times do you suppose the Bible has been rewritten and translated and retranslated since it was originally written? In fact, when you read Daily Bread, you’re reading yet another "interpretation" of it, so when you’re reading the text out of your Bible and something seems awry, this may be the reason. Paul is very consistent on his teachings about law and Faith. Of that, you can be certain. So you don’t have to let your hair grow long, or cut it short to please the Lord. The long and short of it all is, give Him glory in your heart. 

          I have an interesting question for you? Was Jesus’ hair long? And what about the vow of the Nazarite Numbers 6:5? When a man takes the vow of the Nazarite, he is separating himself or dedicating a certain amount of time to God. Why would this holy vow forbid a man to cut his hair if it was shameful? Even though it seems this vow was voluntary, wasn’t it part of the Jewish “law”, and is that shameful? Have you ever seen a picture of the last supper? Do each and every one of the Apostles have long hair? Was it a new fad to have short hair in Paul's day? Maybe. Is long hair even really the issue here or was it women being covered in public? Just more points to ponder. Now let’s get back to our study.

CHRISTIAN WALK BIBLE WARNINGS OF CHRISTIAN WALK BIBLE DANGERS AND CHRISTIAN WALK BIBLE CONCERNS

          Though there were things that Paul had applauded the Corinthians for earlier in this chapter, there was also something that disturbed him that was happening in the church of Corinth. He makes no bones about his thoughts on the matter.

When they gathered together for the Lord's supper, first of all, there were cliques among them. Remember at the beginning of the epistle when Paul warned them of the contentions they had because some believed they were baptized of Paul and some of Apollos and some of Peter? These were probably some of the cliques.

Paul points out that naturally there are divisions so that those who are upright in heart and those who are not can be exposed.

When they gathered to celebrate the "Lord's Supper," they would bring their own meals and eat separately instead of sharing together, and some were full (drunken) and others were yet hungry. What’s this all about? Paul asks with a heavy heart. Don’t you have houses to eat and to drink in ... Do you want to make the church of God look contemptible by embarrassing the needy? What can I say about this? I'm bewildered!

But let a man judge his own actions whether he is eating in loving memory of the death of Christ or if he is eating as though it were a common meal, because he who eats unworthily, invites damnation. For this reason many are weak and sickly among you, and many have even died.

CHRISTIAN WALK BIBLE UNDERSTANDING BRINGS FORTH CHRISTIAN WALK BIBLE HOPE

          Did you read that? There are so many things that we don’t know. How many people, even in the world today, suffer illness and death because of actions that they don’t realize are unrighteous in the Lord’s eyes, yet because of today’s society, are accepted? But doe they even bother to find out? Paul says:

          We can apply this Christian Walk Bible message to more than just food. What about spiritual gifts? What about those who, in the body of Christ, are the baby finger, instead of the eye? Do we, in front of others, flaunt our gifts? Do we look down on others who don’t seem as important? Never forget, looks are deceiving, especially when it comes to invisible (spiritual) things.
