Why are the angels interested in women's head covering?

("For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels."

1 Corinthians 11v10)

The angels are the messengers that God uses throughout the Bible.  They continually take an interest in the affairs of men.  Paul in 1 Corinthians 4:9 says, "...for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men."  In the same book we get the verse opposite, and he seems to be bringing the two together.  If we are, therefore, a spectacle (meaning that the world, angels and men are watching us at all times), we need to ensure we comply with the Scriptures all of the time, and not just when we feel like it.

Genesis 2 v 18-23

Revelation 22 v 16

Would Christ accept people for salvation after the rapture? After much research and prayer, I feel unable to give an answer.  Whether salvation through Christ is possible after the rapture is really not an issue.  We are reminded from Scripture that today is the day of salvation, therefore we should make sure that we are ready.  Many concentrate their efforts about what will happen once the rapture has come (see the Left Behind books), however our responsibility is to reach the lost now and make disciples of all.

2 Corinthians 6 v 2

Mark 16 v15-16

Is it right to learn about false doctrine, so that you know what is wrong with it or should we just learn the truth? To answer this question, my mind went to 2 Timothy 3 v 14, "But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;"  The context of this verse is Paul is talking about evil men becoming worse, being deceived as well deceiving.  Note that Paul does not tell Timothy to go out and learn what these evil men are teaching, but he encourages Timothy to hold on to the teaching from the Scriptures, and remembering what Paul had taught him because he knew where it had come from.  The simple answer therefore is that we should learn more about the Scriptures and less about what others believe.  For if we listen to false teaching, we may be deceived into believing it. 2 Timothy 4 v 12-17

 

What happened to the Flaming Sword that guarded the Garden of Eden?

(Genesis 3v24)

While Scripture is silent about the what happened to the Flaming Sword, in Genesis 7 we read the the whole world was flooded.  It is possible that the Garden of Eden was destroyed, therefore making it's guard obsolete.  This is pure speculation, as we do not know what happened.  Presumably, if the Garden of Eden still exists on planet Earth, then the Sword and the Cherubims will still be on guard.
