THE DEBATE AT THE PERSIAN
COURT OF
WHAT THEY To understand the Apocrypha ("hidden things"), one needs insight by the power of God to discern and reveal what has been hidden (including the dispositions of those advocating wickedness) from the standpoint and Judgement of God. In this particular case, to denounce the unrighteousness of men who give glory and authority to women, making them strong in wickedness.
JUDGING WHAT
IS THE STRONGEST.
ABOUT THEIR
STATEMENTS.
THE WISDOM
OF THE CHRIST. If she is allowed within the congregation of God with it, a woman's glory is her hair. But in refusing to obey anointed male servants of God when given scriptural reasons for having it or her removed, she is in disgrace. A woman who is told by an anointed man that her conduct is deserving of shorning, but who refuses this corrective measure and is allowed to frequent Christ's congregation, is in greater disgrace before God than one shorn or shaved. There is hope of repentance for one shorn or shaved through its penalty of disgrace. Those instructed to carry out the shorning of a woman but refuse to do so, share in her disgrace. The holy requirements for a woman are described in the following scriptures: (1 Cor 11:3-10. 14:33-37. Eph 5:22-24. 1 Tim 2:11,12) (Prov 31:10-31. 1 Peter 3:1-6). After reading and meditating on these scriptural reminders from God's Word, one cannot fail to realize that a wife may only please God and earn her place in His everlasting arrangement by being an obedient and a helpful complement of man as to the Lord. (Gen 2:20-23). But if a woman exercises authority over God's glory the man, especially by falsely claiming to have been given authority by God's Word to teach men, she has rejected the authority of God and His glory the man. (1 Cor 14:34-38. 1 Cor 7:16). What other way could women teach and exercise authority over men other than by what the sect falsely calling themselves Jehovah's Witnesses practice? (Zech 5:5-8).
