The NECK Is The Issue

 Theme: I Cor. 12:15

NECK : That part of  a human or animal joining the head to the body , including the part of the backbone between the skull and the shoulders . The NECK is what helps ( helpmeet Gen .      2:18 ) the head turn , at the heads command ; left , right , or straight . An authority scripture is      I Cor .11:3--- “But 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”. God put man in charge ( authority ),  and gave him ( man ) a woman ( helpmeet ) , to help the man do the work God wants done in      Gen .2:15-18 . When the woman usurps authority over the man , as claiming any of the offices of the bishop in I Tim .3:1-7 , or the office of the deacon in I Tim .3:8-13 , or the head of the household in Eph .5:23-24 , or even for matters concerning our country in Phil .4:22 , then she is a double minded woman , as James 1:8 tells us , and is out of control . It’s like there is a crick     ( error ) in the NECK ( woman ) and the head ( man ) has a harder time , trying to turn the body , having to do so without the co-operation of the NECK .

Through out the New Testament , the man is referred to as the head , in authority .The woman is as the NECK , that helps ( helpmeet ; helper ) turn the head ( man ) , in co-operation with the body . When under submission ( guidance ) of the head , the NECK turns the body of Christ smoothly . When the NECK ( woman ) is NOT under the guidance ( supervision ) , usurping    (taking authority away from the man ) authority over the head ( man ) , the body ( household or the body of Christ ) is in contention ( out of order ) .

            PARABLE : Nancy Pelosi went over President Bush’s head ( usurped authority over ), went to Syria. She will not do what President Bush ( the head over the United States of   America ) tells her to do, acting as an arrogant , rebellious , little brat , that needs correction in the worst way . When she first arrived in Syria , the Syrian’s knew she was out of control , and the first thing they did was put her in her place  , and have her put a covering ( scarf ) on her head AND around  her NECK ( putting her into submission to them ) , and she did that willingly ( just as putting a collar around a dogs neck ) , being submissive to them . Nancy Pelosi was willing to submit to our enemy , but refuses to submit to the head of her own country . Nancy Pelosi  represents the very far left , liberal , democrat’s in our country , although she  really represents our enemies , as they have NO problem accepting her.

  God allowed Nancy Pelosi to acquire the position of Speaker of the House , and her to car  ry on her little escapade to Syria , to show those of you who voted for her , you were deceived . See what you voted for ? A shot in the dark , is what you got . Your conscience has been seared with a hot iron , as I Tim .4:1-2 tell us , as well as Nancy Pelosi’s . Our soldier’s And our coun-  try , would be in the hands of our enemies Over Night , if people like that , have their way in our country . They are putty in the hands of our enemies . We need to pray to the right God ( triune Godhead ) , that God will remove  people like that , from our public offices . Those of you who voted the Democrat Party in this past election , have for shore allowed a bunch of foxes in the hen house ( so to speak ) , allowing the democrat’s to usurp ( take over ) authority over the Pres- ident ( head ) , causing him a much harder job , and much contention within our own borders . The President’s plate has already been full and over flowing as it was , without the democrat’s being a big problem ( thorn in his flesh ) to contend with . Read I cor .12:27-31 now , and find out biblically , why everyone who wants to be , Should NOT be .

The issue of how long a man , AND a woman’s hair should be , comes into the picture , right about now . There are too many men and women looking like the opposite sex , claiming to be christian’s , and is very wrong . Some claim to be gay or lesbian , while other’s claim to be      bi--sexual ( desiring sex with other male or female ) or straight ( only opposite sex ) , but still appearing or acting as the opposite sex . If you are NOT a christian , it does not matter whether you look , and or , act like the opposite sex , your going to HELL , any way , unless you accept Jesus Christ as your saviour .

Here again , the NECK is the dividing line , a bar , or standard to go by . That determines who is really in charge of the house hold , or the body of Christ . As a lot of people call it “who wears the pants in the family . First we read in I Cor .11:14 , it is NOT natural , and is a shame for a man to have long hair . Now we read in verse 15 , it is right for a woman to have long hair , because long hair is her glory AND a covering for her head . And verse 10 says , because of the angel’s ( God’s heavenly host ) , as they are male and have short hair , not needing a covering . In verse 6 , Paul tells us , the woman should have a covering ( long hair ) or be shorn ( by clippers ) or shaven ( by razor , smooth ) on their head . In verse 7 , Paul says , a manshould NOT have his head covered ( long hair ) , because the man is the image and glory of God.

Basicly , long hair covers the NECK , as the NECK being the issue here. That verse 7, knocks man’s philosophy ( commentary or opinion ) all to pieces , that Jesus had long hair . Those pictures you see of a jesus with long hair , are of  Roman Catholic imagina-  tion , and are NOT pictures of the true Jesus Christ , the Nazarene , Matt .2:23 . In reference to     I Cor .11:14 , someone told me ( a devil talking to me , through that person , Mark 5:9 ) that  Jesus was shamed , while on the cross . That’s true , but Jesus DID NOT shame Himself, other’s ( Jew’s and sinner’s ) shamed Him . There is a big difference between someone shaming themselves ( as sinning ), and other’s shaming you . Now , because of I Cor .11:1,2,&16 , Paul is telling us , long hair on a man , and short hair on a woman , was traditions ( practices  carried over from one generation to another ) of Jewish law , and is NOT God’s law, because of this next Old Testament scripture , that is very much law today , as it was back then . Lev .19:37---  “Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes , and all my judgements , and DO THEM : I AM THE LORD”.

Now , let’s go back to I Cor .7 , 14 , & 15 . Man was made in the image And glory of God , God DID NOT have long hair , being a male entity , as in verse 7 . Verse 14 telling us , it is a shame for a man to have long hair , and last in verses 10 & 15 , woman are to have long hair , because of the angel’s ( of God ) , and it is her glory and a covering ( being the weaker sex- power and strength ) . We are to be as God would have us to be . II Cor .6:17-18--- “Wherefore  come out from among them , and be ye separate , saith the Lord , and touch not the unclean    thing ;and I will receive you”, ( 18 ) --- “And will be a Father unto you , and ye shall be my son’s and daughter’s , saith the Lord Almighty”. That’s talking about being separate from the world     ( things of the world ) , and being GOD THE FATHER’S son’s and daughter’s , with hair being one of the issues here , beside ridding yourself of ALL accursed things . Quit often , one particu-lar scripture , will address more than on issue , just be very careful to keep all issues in context .

Remember earlier , I talked about a line , a bar , or standard to go by ? Like having rules to go by . The apostle Paul gave us rules to go by , for the office’s of the bishop , and the office of the deacon , in I Tim .3:1-13 and all three chapters of the book of Titus . As I mentioned a little earlier , the NECK has a very big part to play in male and female hair , what is too long , and what is too short . The NECK separates the head from the body , but at the same time , con- nects the head to the body . Think about that for a few minutes , so you can obtain this concept . Here is the long and short hair and NECK , in a guideline ( nut shell ) .                                

FOR THE MAN : The NECK should be visible , from two or three inches below the bot- tom of the ear , to the top of the shoulders . Mohawk and crew-cuts ( very short or skin-tight a- round the sides , with longer hair on the top ) vain ( self esteem ) and demonic fads of  hair cuts on a man . Depends on what demonic group a person is in , to what type of hair cut they wear . According to I Pet .3:3 , plaiting of the hair ( taking strands of hair and weaving in and out ) on male and female is wrong . Basicly , a man looking like a woman , or a woman looking like a man , in more ways than hair , as in gay and lesbian ways , are wrong . We christian’s are in the      world , but are NOT supposed to look like the world , Rom .6:18-20 .  

FOR THE WOMAN : The NECK again , is the guideline to go by . The woman’s hair should come down to the top of  her shoulder’s , or longer , according to her desire . Basicly , she is NOT to look like a man , also in apparel . Women who say they cannot manage shoulder length hair , have other issues they need to take care of , as well . When you allow a few weeds   ( issues ) in a garden , you have other weeds ( issues ) than that , to take care of . So the NECK is a major issue for a guide line to go by , to determine hair length , and also as the part the woman plays ( so to speak ) in the role with her husband , and the body of Christ .

That’s a very big and important role the woman plays , as the wife , and in the body of Christ .Without the co-operation of the woman ( NECK ) , the man ( head ) would have a much harder time doing the work God wants him to do . When Nancy Pelosi goes against President Bush , it not only hinders President Bush , from doing his job, but puts our country at a disadvantage . Many people think they could do a better job , but it is quit different when you are actually in that position . Just as some people assume apostleship training is no different , than studying to be a pastor . That’s like in   II Kings 2:9-10 , Elisha asked for a double portion of Elijah’s spirit to be upon him , and Elijah told Elisha he was asking for a hard thing ( much hard times ) . Ok , back to the NECK .

PARABLE : The steering shaft and power steering pump on a car , is as the NECK ( wo- man ) , and the steering wheel , is as the head ( man ) . Without co-operation of the power steer- ing pump , low or no power steering fluid ( a crick in the NECK ) , makes it harder to turn the car ( body ) , with the steering wheel ( the head ) . When the man has NO WIFE ( HELPER ) , that is like having manual steering . That was the case with the apostle Paul , as was evident in his +writings . Had Paul been married during his ministry , he might have prevented that thorn in the flesh , being his eye sight , lusting in the flesh , as Gal .4:13-15 tell us .

PARABLE : The woman puts a scarf ( covering ) on her head AND around her NECK , to keep her head from catching a head cold . The woman ( NECK ) is the helpmeet ( helper ) for her husband AND the office of the bishop ( man ) , whether she is married to a member of the office of the bishop , or not . When the head AND the NECK co-operate , the body turns freely . The body of Christ is the christian members . The backbone :  elder’s ; deacon’s ; prophet’s , prophetess  , and teacher’s ; prayer warrior’s ( intercessor’s , as standing in the gap , praying for other’s ) ; Then there is the actual body of Christ : ALL member’s in the congregation ( all supposed to be christian ) AND  ALL who are in the congregation , who are not member’s , but are christian’s . As you can see , those who are NOT christian’s ( sinner’s ) , have NO place in the true body of Christ .That is basicly the order, from the NECK to the body of Christ .

Five reason’s the woman needs a covering on her head , to include her NECK , is ( A ) she is the weaker of the two sexes , between male and female ; ( B ) because of the angel’s of God ;   ( C ) Adam was first formed , then Eve was formed , to be a  helpmeet ( helper ) for Adam ( the  man ) ; ( D ) the man being the head and the woman being the NECK , helping the head ( man ) to turn the body easier ; and ( E ) the woman being deceived , was in the transgression ( sin ) . So , all you women can thank your long time ancestor , Eve , for committing the first sin . Say , thanks Eve . On a more serious note , you need to start REBUKING Satan , every time he gets in your way , just because he caused Eve to SIN , deceiving Eve , as Jude 9 tells you to do . There- fore , the woman needs a covering , which is a form of power , found in I Cor .11:10 .

When a man shaves his head ( no hair , bald ) , or has his head shorn ( mostly cut off-as in a mo-hawk or crew cut , skin tight around the sides ) , he is removing his natural covering (power) that God has given him , and is being ( acting ) as a woman . The only time christian men would shorn their head , is while they were under a vow , as the apostle Paul did in Acts 18:18 , to God . A vow is a strong prayer or petition to God . Paul did not keep his head shorn or shaved for long periods of time , as many males do , as that is NOT natural or biblical , to be as the opposite sex .

The bible teaches , if a woman does not want to have long hair (shoulder length or longer) , she should shave (no hair on her head , bald) her head , or be shorn (very little thickness of hair) , according to I Cor .11:5-6 . Her head is first shaved (bald) , then as it grows , it is shorn (very little thickness of hair) , and kept shaved and shorn , or else have shoulder length or longer of hair , to be as a christian female . Lev .19:27 tells us , NOT to round the corners of your head , or your beard . That is being vain and rebellious toward God . The man’s hair should be squared off in the back (not rounded) , and on the rest of the head , as well . The woman’s hair should not be rounded off in the back , but squared off . That verse pertains to woman , also .

If you are wondering why your prayers don’t have much , or NO power , this issue is one of the reasons . You are removing what power you should have , away . Hair in the right way is a form of power . Having ALL your faith in Jesus Christ , is the most POWER you can have . Also , while we are right next to Lev .19:28 , you are NOT to damage your skin ( flesh ) , nor are you to print marks (tattoo’s) on you . SINNER’S do those things , as that is one way demon’s ENTER people .

Here is a good rule of thumb to go by , in God’s word . What was an ABOM- ATION (EVIL) in the Old Testament , IS STILL an ABOMINATION (EVIL) in the New Testament (PRESENT DAY) . Lev .19:37--- “Therefore shall ye OBSERVE ALL MY STA-   TUTES , AND ALL MY JUDGEMENTS , AND DO THEM : I AM THE LORD”. See my set of papers (chapter) “Changes From Old to New Testament”. When someone is feeling down and out (some point of depression) , what do people do , to help make that person feel better ?   They put their arms around that person’s NECK , because that person needs help (a covering) .

That helps to give more life and power , back to that person . It gives strength to that person , just as the father did to his lost son , in Luke 15:20 . And when the apostle Paul was feeling  down , in Acts 20:37 , Paul’s friend’s put their arms around Paul’s neck , to strengthen and gave Paul more life , Power, and hope .Titus was Paul’s spiritual helper & glory of Christ, I Cor.8:23.

          The NECK is just as important as any other part of the body , as Gal .3:28tells us , but SHOULD  NOT  usurp  AUTHORITY OVER  the man , as head of the household , or claiming any of the offices of the bishop , titles . I hope this chapter has given you a better perspective of women being OUT OF CONTROL (out of God’s will) , when they claim any of the offices of the bishop , head of the household , OVER  the husband , and hair concerning the NECK , needing a covering to be stronger with power .Women are to be the helpmeet (helper) for the man (head) .
