3 KINDS OF FIRST CHURCH COVERINGS TD DISCOVERED

A submitted Selah instead of hostile attack hardcore dogma! 

Explanation of Christian differences in their 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  RAISED  UNDER the Old Timey “covering” letter of the Law.

POINT: And there is a wide difference in each Christian raised MAN or WOMAN and how they want to  Choose  to avoid Bible truth (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.

ONCE MORE NOTE:  I was not raised around, near it or order it “the old timey “YOU MUST COVERED BY A LOCAL PASTOR, OR A MALE)

3 KINDS OF FIRST CHURCH COVERING TRUTHS

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.

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 and the rest.

Feel free to Google, ask Chat GPT AI or 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  and give Bible passages for a NEW MOVE : EORR Cross Body Unity.

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”. 

WE DRAW THIS BIBLE CONCLUSION
This sister has determined 3 KINDS OF CHRISTIAN COVERING

1. To have enough PRAYER COVERING

2. “God’s LOVE COVERS a Multitude of sins” Jesus ultimate forgiveness, despite, This is seconded in Isaiah 1:18 ‘

3. THE OTHER Christian version of “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.

Explanation of All

1. FIRST TYPE OF SCRIPTURE COVERING (FIRST CHURCH AND NOW)

“Prayer Covering” / “Spiritual Covering”

Modern usage vs. First Church (Jesus, Paul, Bible)

 What is “Prayer/Spiritual Covering” in modern charismatic/prophetic usage?

In many modern church and especially charismatic movements, “spiritual covering” often means:

• You are “under” a pastor, prophet, or apostle’s authority.

• You are seen as “covered” (i.e., protected) from spiritual attacks or error by remaining submitted to a church leader or network.

• “Prayer covering” can mean intercessors praying to shield someone spiritually during ministry, travel, etc.

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”  they are said to be “uncovered,” “rebellious,” or “exposed to attack.”

BIG QUESTION:  Is this idea in the Bible?

Not directly.

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

Let’s compare biblical models.

What does the First Church (Jesus, Paul, Acts) teach instead?

 1 Corinthians 11:3 (KJV)

“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.”
***means in a  MARRIED couple ..does not mean ALL Christian women are UNDER “ALL Christian men” 

• The structure is relational, not institutional.

• “Head” (Greek: kephalē – κεφαλή) implies source/origin, not dictator. It’s about origin and order, not domination or control.

• 

+++PS ADDITIONAL DEEP DIVE INTO MEANING OF

“The head of every woman is the man ”

POINT I am clarifying this up for SAFETY SAKE at the dysfunctional, misogynist, biased Old Time Law PREACHER LAY LOCAL LEVEL

Let’s take a deep, biblical, historical, and linguistic dive into 1 Corinthians 11:3 to explore what it does and does not say—especially whether all Christian men are “over” all Christian women in the church or Christian community.

 1 Corinthians 11:3 – KJV

“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.”

 1 Corinthians 11:3 – ESV

“But 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.”

Notice the difference:

• KJV uses “the woman” and “the man.”

• ESV (and most modern versions) clarify it as “the wife” and “her husband.”
  This is based on Greek word usage and context (see below).

GREEK WORD STUDY (TD likens to Ephesians 5:21-22 “respectful order, chain of command”)

“Head” = κεφαλή (kephalē)

• Literal: physical head

• Figurative: source, origin, or leader

• NOT necessarily “boss” or “authority over”

• In ancient Greek, “kephalē” rarely meant ruler (more common for that was archōn or kurios)

++ In ancient and biblical Greek:

• “Head” could mean source of life (like the head of a river).

• Paul may be using it as order of origin, as seen in Genesis creation.

“Man” and “Woman” = ἀνήρ (anēr) and γυνή (gynē)

• Both words can mean man/woman or husband/wife, depending on context.

• In 1 Corinthians 11, context suggests Paul is referring to married couples, not universal male/female authority.

 Strong’s Concordance:

• anēr (G435) = a man or husband

• gynē (G1135) = a woman or wife

 This supports the ESV’s more specific reading: “the head of a wife is her husband.”

POINT: BIBLICAL CONTEXT (1 Corinthians 11–14)

Paul is addressing:

• Proper order in worship

• Respect for gender distinctions

• Cultural customs like head coverings (linked to modesty, not submission)

He is not laying down a universal hierarchy of all men over all women.

 RELATED SCRIPTURE

 Genesis 2:18 (KJV)

“And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.”

• “Help meet” in Hebrew is ezer kenegdo (עֵזֶר כְּנֶגְדּוֹ)

• Ezer = strong helper (used for God elsewhere, e.g., Psalm 121:1-2)

• Kenegdo = corresponding to him, not beneath him.

 Galatians 3:28 (KJV)

“There is neither Jew nor Greek, bond nor free, male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.”

This reflects the spiritual equality of all believers in Christ.

ASKING: DOES 1 CORINTHIANS 11:3 TEACH MALE AUTHORITY OVER ALL WOMEN?

 NO, it does not say that:

1. The Greek suggests husband-wife, not all men over all women.

2. Paul never says all women are under all men.

3. Jesus’ teachings and Paul’s own letters affirm mutual submission and shared authority.

 JESUS’ EXAMPLE:

• Jesus had female disciples (Luke 8:1–3).

• He taught Mary at His feet, like a male rabbi would do with students (Luke 10:38–42).

• He never restricted women from learning, worshiping, or being near Him.

Colossians 2:10 (KJV)

“And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power.”

• POINT We are spiritually “covered” in Christ, not through a human system.

 Galatians 3:28 (KJV)

“There is neither Jew nor Greek… male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.”

• POINT Equality in spiritual identity—no elite “covering class.”

 Jesus’ Model of Authority:

 Matthew 23:8–10 (KJV)

“Be not ye called Rabbi… for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.”

“Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.”

• Jesus rebuked titles and hierarchical spiritual status.

• This implies that Jesus did not promote “coverings” by human authority in the New Covenant.

TRUE COVERING IN THE BIBLE “Love Covers a Multitude of Sins” – Biblical Covering Concept

 1 Peter 4:8 (KJV)

“And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.”

Greek:

• Charity (agapē – ἀγάπη) = God-like, selfless love.

• Cover (kalyptō – καλύπτω) = to veil, hide, or shield.

Meaning:

• Love doesn’t deny sin—but it does not expose, shame, or gossip.

• It protects the person’s dignity as they deal with sin.

• Reflects how God forgives and is slow to anger.

Proverbs 10:12 (KJV)

“Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.”

This is likely the OT verse Peter is quoting.
It’s about the way we treat others, not some spiritual umbrella or hierarchy.
