- This is not about women inferiority because they are spiritually equal to men(Gal. 3:28). However, Adam & Eve’s sin created an adverse affect on our genders that Satan uses to cause social disorder and eventually absolute anarchy. To offset this, Dress Codes or Ordinances are establish in every culture to bring about some sense of social order. The church must do the same to reflect Divine Order. When social order is violated it could bring in Satanic Deception via the Gender Confusion that entered the world during the Edenic Dispensation. Satan wants to hide or neutralize the masculine gender and amplify feminine preeminence in Public Worship to maximize Spiritual Deception.
