Authority

Today's passage really confused me.. I did not really connect with some parts of the verses.. like the ones about hair.. but then again it is probably because of the cultural difference of now and in the Roman Empire.

What I did get out of the passage is that there is always going to be someone who is above us who has authority: Pastors, bosses, teachers, parents, elders, the law. These things we have to respect and obey because it is our duty to do so, so that there can be peace (at least i think so..)

I know a lot of people are prone to wander and want to do things that go against authority, but as children of God, He is the one we have to obey because He is our Master who loves us and died for us. I have learned before that is the first and last thing we can do for what God has sacrificed for us. Being in an ethnic studies class, I learn about social hierarchies but the hierarchy presented in this passage is not based on race..

Man is the head of the woman, Christ is the head of man, God is the head of Christ. This does not mean women should worship man. BY NO MEANS will women worship men because God is at the top. The highest place belongs to God and we should be ones to being glory to his name.. so let's be examples of what God represents because that is one way to worship God and respect that He is our God.
