wasn't the bible written by the hands of jews whom G-D inspired? wasn't it written from a 1st century prospectus. doses.t it have a lot to do with the culture of the jews at that time. G-D doesn't think any less of a woman than a man. at that time period were to be covered and silent.does that still apply in our western socity?
Just of few points which need to be corrected.
1. The Bible began to be written around 1,500 BC by Moses and was completed around 90 AD by the apostle John.
2. Almost all the writers were Hebrews. Some claim that Luke was a Gentile Christian but he may have been a Hellenistic Jew.
3. The Bible revolves around Israel and the Jews, but the culture did not influence the inspired writings, rather the inspired writings influenced the culture.
4. God does not think "any less of women" than men. However men and women have different roles in society, in the home, and in the local church.
5. Everything in the Bible is applicable to all Christians in all ages, otherwise the Bible would have to be re-written for every generation.
6. God has embedded certain principles within His Word, and one of His spiritual principles is that men are to have the authority in the home and in the church, and women are to be in submission or subjection to that authority. That does not make them "inferior" but it does present a hierarchy which God has established. Similarly within the Godhead, God the Father is the Head or authority over God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, although they are all equally God.
So this is what we find (1 Cor 11:3):
1. The Head of Christ is God
2. The Head of the Man is Christ
3. The head of the woman is the man

Just as the woman is a part of the man. One needs the other to function. Having authority over the woman is simply to be in the position of speaking the decisions you make as a couple; Being the one to answer for any stupid mistakes you make as a couple. She is not the servant or slave of the man, he is not her ruler. Churches teach it all backward, and dominate their women. Well.....Ok......Not all churches.
The head covering and woman being silent are metphors used in a ceremonial law used in ceremonies when more than one families gathers together. Like the Sabbaths not something we can judge one another in respect to. It as a shadow to represent the unseen glory of God will be fulfilled when we receive our new bodies as the eternal bride of Christ
No, it isn't! You've played with the order of the text. The order, as given is as follows:
Christ is the head of every man (every, as in plural)
The man is the head of the woman (specific singular)
God is the head of Christ.
God put it the way God wanted it. We don't get to fudge it to suit any agenda.
