I am going to re-post a question here that I had on what was apparently an old thread. Keeping track of the different discussion with so many of the same participants is getting challenging 🙂

Greetings all,
I have been reading the conversation threads on all the posts on this site. Digging heavily into the essence of the differing points between the egal and comp assertions regarding Genesis especially. Granted all other Scriptures must be taken into account.

I have been following along trying to discern if there is a middle ground between the two sides. In many ways there exists only a slim gap between the two positions, although the points pertaining to “leading” or “headship” seem to be dichotomous. When I look at Jesus’s life and what he taught, it is often that the choice is neither A or B but a third and radically different choice. I’m wondering if the restoration of the Kingdom as it existed pre fall, and our participation in the restoration process necessitates us looking for a third way. Can there be a middle position on this that is a reasonable compromise? Honestly I haven’t been able to conceive of one, and every compromise I have heard offered seems to directly offend a deeply held view of scripture on for one side or the other.

Perhaps some of you have given this some thought or have seen it worked out practically in some way that allows for both sides to work together as the Church.
