God's Ordinances not Man's

God gave ordinances but they are His, not ours. Baptism is a symbol of our having died to self and been raised to new life, head covering for women is a picture of the church and the lack of it for men is a symbol of Christ. , and the Lord's supper is a symbol of the death burial, and resurrection of Christ. These are symbols of Christ not based on man's feelings but on God's purposes.

Notice that man (symbol of Christ) and woman (symbol of the church) stand side by side because Christ lives in the born-again believer, both the man and the woman.

Man has created many rituals God never gave and with reflection we see how they have led away many from thoughts of Christ to the thoughts of the rituals instead.

Mankind loves to have things they can see that make them feel safe and special. God gives His principles that elevate Him above everyone and everything else.

Let us evaluate everything we have been trained to do and believe so that we can more fully follow Christ, expunging everything from our lives that detracts from Him.
