## What did God intend at creation

Counterargument

counterargument response

Hypotasso in v21 paired with allelon (one to another) is explicitly reciprocal. A hierarchy has a top and bottom; allelon hypotasso has neither.

Egalitarian Argument

V22 borrows its verb from v21, so the submission in view for wives must be the same kind: voluntary, mutual, self-giving, not one-directional hierarchy.

Egalitarian Argument

Reading v22 as a hierarchy command breaks the semantic logic Paul established in v21. Two categorically different concepts cannot share the same governing verb.

Egalitarian Argument

Kephale in v23 means source, grounding marriage in Gen 2 as symbolic definition, not asserting a modern husband is the ontological origin of his wife.

Egalitarian Argument

Php 2:3-5 applies self-giving posture to all believers. Paul calls husbands to join what was already everyone's calling.

question answer

One of the key differences between an egalitarian and a patriarchal marriage is in the area of authority and will. In a patriarchal marriage, the man is set up as the final decision maker of the home and he is given the right to make a decision for his wife even if it overrules her will

General

question answer

Have you ever found that your discussions with hierarchists goes nowhere fast because they say they have heard the egalitarian arguments before and they are not willing to listen to what you have to say. Perhaps we are missing an opportunity to engage them because we are wanting to teach them first

In our continuing discussions on the fall of man we have dealt with the issue of Adam as guardian of the garden and the charge against Eve that she added to God’s word.

We have been looking at Genesis 3 and the fall of man. In this post I want to concentrate on Genesis 3:22-24 to see what we can understand from God’s words that result in God’s actions and why God judges differently between the man and the woman by bringing sin into the world only through the man
