veiling and the book of enoch

[razeontherock]

Note Clement of Alexandria's comment on that passage from Corinthians:

"By the angels he means righteous and virtuous men. Let her be veiled then, that she may not lead them to stumble into fornication." (Fragments: Oecumenius from Bk. III on 1 Cor. 11:10)

So let me get this straight: I can stumble my way into fornication, and still be an Angel? I'm thinking we just came up with a new marketing plan ...

So all Arabs that wear a headcovering do so out of shame?

It's a matter of modesty, which is as big a deal for men in Islam as it is for women, though that fact seems to have been rather forgotten depending on where you are these days.

It used to be a great shame to remove a man's turban in Iran. Things like that are a little difficult for us to understand these days.

Protection from sandstorms, protection from lusty angel's peering eyes, or what?

Sunburn, for any of the balding men.

So let me get this straight: I can stumble my way into fornication, and still be an Angel?

I guess that would make you a fallen angel.

Susan, this is logic fail. Messianic Jews toss that "hellenized" word around as if it were an answer to everything, but Jesus Himself taught what you are denouncing

I'm not denouncing it. I happen to believe that Zoroaster was a Prophet of God as well. I'm just pointing out that these things were taught by him, and not by Moses or Hebrew Prophets.

So tying that into Booko's recent comment in another thread, this could be an element of universalism within Christianity? (Seems like it would be rather stretching that term though, by any definition)
