Explanation of Christian differences in thei<\/span><\/strong>r backstory (parental, Church upbringing) And I was raised “liberated” …not among these or near, around these…thus this sister, who was the first born of two cherished, believed daughters of a Southern Baptist mild sr pastor was NOT\u00a0 RAISED\u00a0 UNDER the Old Timey “covering” letter of the Law.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

POINT: A<\/strong>nd there is a wide difference in each Christian raised MAN or WOMAN and how they want to\u00a0 Choose\u00a0 to avoid Bible truth<\/strong> (by continuing on in a Tradition …which I do NOT do) Or know the authentic First Church Bible and pursue “freedom” in Christ and in ministry, home.<\/span><\/p>\n

ONCE MORE NOTE:\u00a0<\/strong> I was not raised around, near it or order it “the old timey “YOU MUST COVERED BY A LOCAL PASTOR, OR A MALE)<\/span><\/p>\n

POINT: The hot topic below is NOT identical<\/strong> with “BIBLE SUBMISSION” “GOING TO CHURCH” being “UNDER A LOCAL PASTOR, PROPHET, APOSTLE if YOU feel called by God to “official join that group) ..(All which I also train and equip in.

THREE KINDS OF FIRST CHURCH COVERING TRUTHS<\/strong><\/h2>\n

To be honest, 25-30 years ago, I started to research all of this. I had entered the charismatic worship , prophetic ministries to study the many different types and styles of Book of Acts ministry representations, USA white, all races, all sizes.<\/p>\n

Through the years, I have intentionally researched the Bible for the word “covering” in the New Testament, It was not there, Rather is “Ephesians 5:21 an<\/strong>d the rest.<\/p>\n

Feel free to Google, ask Chat GPT AI or<\/strong> someone about the 3 KINDS OF COVERING which this person has deep researched and which I abide in Ephesians 5:21 with all, also have need for more “prayer covering, and the RIGHT SENT Ministry , Network accountability persons. But also have been through too many local grass roots “authority, covering teaching and accusation from tough talking shepherding to train\u00a0 and give Bible passages for a NEW MOVE : EORR Cross Body Unity.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

PS The above; False teaching about “covering” ‘submission” is a root of much of much “Friendly Fire” needless local church, ministry, always seem to be major prophetic, in the deep Grass Roots “ambitious, achievement” we are gifted” ‘wannabeism”.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

WE DRAW THIS BIBLE CONCLUSION<\/span><\/strong>
\nThis sister has determined 3 KINDS OF CHRISTIAN COVERING<\/h3>\n

1. To have enough PRAYER COVERING<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. “God’s LOVE COVERS a Multitude of sins” Je<\/strong>sus ultimate forgiveness, despite, This is seconded in Isaiah 1:18 ‘<\/p>\n

3. THE OTHER Christian version of<\/strong> “spiritual covering “is determined among the PET “CHOICES (which includes their PHARISEEISM ) of each and every ministry, group, office sr ministry and persons. YOUR CHOICE. I submit my “Relationship Views “here in.<\/p>\n

Explanation of All<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

1. FIRST TYPE OF SCRIPTURE COVERING (FIRST CHURCH AND NOW)<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

“Prayer Covering” \/ “Spiritual Covering”<\/span><\/h2>\n

Modern usage<\/strong> vs. First Church (Jesus, Paul, Bible)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0What is “Prayer\/Spiritual Covering” in modern charismatic\/prophetic usage?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In many modern church and especially charismatic movements, \u201cspiritual covering\u201d<\/strong> often means:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    You are \u201cunder\u201d a pastor, prophet, or apostle\u2019s authority<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    You are seen as \u201ccovered\u201d<\/strong> (i.e., protected) from spiritual attacks or error by remaining submitted to a church leader or network.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    “Prayer covering”<\/strong> can mean intercessors praying to shield<\/strong> someone spiritually during ministry, travel, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Often, if someone leaves a group or minister,are a female not going to a church or just attending, not signing on…then they are rumored about, accused, blamed and ministry witch watched..by the “charismatic kinds” <\/strong>\u00a0they are said to be \u201cuncovered,\u201d \u201crebellious,\u201d or “exposed to attack.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    BIG QUESTION:\u00a0 Is this idea in the Bible?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Not directly. <\/span><\/p>\n

    POINT:<\/strong> The term “spiritual covering”<\/strong> is NOT found in the KJV Bible<\/strong> nor the early church practices described in Acts or Paul\u2019s epistles. It is imported doctrine<\/strong>, possibly adapted from Old Testament hierarchy<\/strong> or even influenced by the Shepherding Movement<\/strong> of the 1970s.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Let\u2019s compare biblical models.<\/span><\/p>\n

    What does the First Church (Jesus, Paul, Acts) teach instead?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

    \u00a01 Corinthians 11:3 (KJV)<\/em><\/span><\/h4>\n

    “But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ<\/strong>; and the head of the woman** is the man; and the head of Christ is God.”<\/span>
    \n***means in a\u00a0 MARRIED couple ..does not mean ALL Christian women are UNDER “ALL Christian men”\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n

      The structure is relational, not institutional.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      \u201cHead\u201d (Greek: kephal\u0113<\/strong> \u2013 \u03ba\u03b5\u03c6\u03b1\u03bb\u03ae) implies source\/origin<\/strong>, not dictator. It’s about origin and order, not domination or control.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      Let\u2019s take a deep, biblical, historical, and linguistic dive into 1 Corinthians 11:3<\/strong> to explore what it does<\/strong> and does not<\/strong> say\u2014especially whether all Christian men are “over” all Christian women<\/strong> in the church or Christian community.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \u00a01 Corinthians 11:3 \u2013 KJV<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

      \u201cBut I would have you know, that **the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

      \u00a01 Corinthians 11:3 \u2013 ESV<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

      \u201cBut I want you to understand that **the head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.\u201d<\/span><\/h2>\n

      Notice the difference<\/strong>:<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      • \n

        KJV<\/strong> uses \u201cthe woman\u201d and \u201cthe man.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        ESV<\/strong> (and most modern versions) clarify it as \u201cthe wife\u201d and \u201cher husband.\u201d<\/strong><\/span>
        This is based on Greek word usage and context (see below).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        • \n

          In ancient Greek, \u201ckephal\u0113\u201d rarely meant ruler<\/strong> (more common for that was arch\u014dn<\/em> or kurios<\/em>)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          ++ In ancient and biblical Greek:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

            \n
          • \n

            \u201cHead\u201d could mean source of life<\/em> (like the head of a river).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

          • \n

            Paul may be using it as order of origin<\/strong>, as seen in Genesis creation.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              Both words can mean man\/woman<\/strong> or husband\/wife<\/strong>, depending on context.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

            • \n

              In 1 Corinthians 11, context suggests Paul is referring to married couples<\/strong>, not universal male\/female authority.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              \u00a0Strong\u2019s Concordance<\/strong>:<\/span><\/p>\n
