Legitimate Question???

Question

This was asked earlier, and I would very much like a real answer, as it was asked as a legitimate question. Thank You.


So As Not To Tempt Angels?

Is THAT why Muslim women cover themselves? Or is it because they are subserviant?

Another New Testament verse may have bearing on Genesis 6. In I Corinthians 11:10, Paul instructs that a woman should cover her head as a sign of subjection to her husband, and also "because of the angels." This observation has intrigued commentators through the years. Why this sudden reference to angels? Could it be a reference to what happened in Genesis 6 where angels succumbed to the inducements and physical charm of the women of Earth? Obviously, Paul believed that an uncovered woman was a temptation even to angels. William Barclay mentions an old rabbinic tradition which alleges that it was the beauty of the women's long hair that attracted and tempted the angels in Genesis. (6)

Answer 1

In ancient times, men considered a woman's hair to be very seductive. In the Levitican laws, women should have their hair covered to protect them from men, who apparently didn't have much self-control in ancient times. Also, I don't know if it was the hair or not, but the fallen angels, sent here to watch over humans, ended up lusting over women, marrying them, and creating the nephilim, giant half human/half angel creatures who were basically too strong and were taking over everything, which is the main reason for Noah's flood, to destroy the nephilim. So, apparently, angels do have the equipment to create babies. Also, the angel Gabriel, according to the book of Enoch, was a female.

Answer 2

I'm not familiar with the reference to tempting angels. But Muslim women as well as orthodox jewish women, and some Christian women cover themselves in the belief that a woman's body is a temple and should not be subjected or tempting to the weakness of men, other than their husbands

Answer 3

Islam strongly promotes the concept of morality.
These are some of the ways they do that:

Islam has declared adultery as strictly forbidden. Adultery is regarded as a very serious offence; the fornicator has been strongly condemned. In an Islamic state, it carries the maximum punishment available under the law.

This is encompassed in Islam's dress code. The female, possessing greater charm and natural beauty, has been directed to cover all such parts of her anatomy. Males are also required to cover certain parts of their bodies. Among the parts of the body that Muslim women are required to cover are their hair, legs, arms - and the face, in public. The female face is the personification of her beauty and the most striking attraction of her anatomy. This covering not only discourages undesirable attention towards her, but also accords her a degree of respect, honour and dignity and of being in charge of her body and experiencing a sense of power over herself, which her unclad counterpart is totally deprived of.

Answer 4

Muslims dont do anything based on what is in the Bible rest assured of that.

I believe the reason Paul writes about the angel is more for poetic effect than trying to teach something specific about angels. For instance.....

But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! -Galatians 1:8

Is that really common practice for angels to come down and preach in churches? Even in his day? Paul is simply trying to explain a point that women should be in submission and keep themselves modest.

Answer 5

I always thought that the angels were not endowed with the same physical anatomy as we are (the private areas). My perception of this could be wrong, but if this was true then I dont think that would be the reason to cover the head.

Answer 6

I even have had this comparable question pop up in my existence on extra advantageous than one occassion with the help of many diverse human beings. ALL martial arts, alongside with the koryu (the classic classic faculties), had a beginning up. all of them have been created with the help of somebody and subtle with the help of somebody else etc until we've what we've in the present day. So for somebody to make up a battling form does not be certain no count if it rather is a actual or illigit paintings. In my humble opinion i think of that if somebody creates an paintings and is time-honored with of it interior and out and can the two word it efficiently and tutor others to do likewise then their paintings is as valid as Shotokan Karate and Shaolin Kung Fu. I agree that in simple terms through fact you have in no way heard of a variety in the previous it does not make it illigitimate. the worldwide is a substantial place and we don't understand each and every thing, in an attempt to brush off some thing prima-facia without understanding all the information is in simple terms arrogant and ignorant. it is going to likely be mentioned that for the time of China there have been many, many, many relatives varieties at one element. rather some families had their own secret battling approach that they began to tutor others and the two those procedures died off, have been replaced, forgotten, or codified into some thing else. they are able to nonetheless be discovered in the present day, nevertheless not easily. i understand of one grasp that has inherited his form from it fairly is unique founder and have faith me as quickly as I say that he's one among if not the main stunning martial artist I even have ever considered. i think of genuinely everybody might desire to be speedy to hearken to and gradual to communicate. That way they might study some thing.

Answer 7

This is a very important question.In most religions craving and aversions are considered the key reason for a person to lose the balance of their mind.Craving and aversions happen owing to sensory organs.The most addicted of all sensory organs is the tongue(eating).The second most is the sexual urge.

If you cut out craving for these two,the right balance of mind will come back very quickly.The source of these cravings is the supply.If you cut out the source you have achieved mental balance

Answer 8

It is not because we are subservient...no that is wrong......it is a matter of respect.. a woman's beauty is for her husband eyes..why should a woman parade herself around for all men to see?? some woman have different views on this matter...by covering ones self-- you lessen any temptation from a man..
