The flow from creation to marriage to eldership suggests principles are not totally isolated

Everything Women Can and Can't Do According to the Bible: Women in Ministry part 13 01:31:54 – 01:34:28

Mike argues the softest complementarian view of totally isolated rules seems artificial.

Creation shows husband is head of wife (Pillar 1). Elder roles are limited to men (Pillar 2). But the reasoning is BECAUSE OF CREATION — Pillar 1 flows into Pillar 2. They aren't isolated realities; one creates the other. 1 Timothy 2:12-14 and 1 Corinthians 14:33-35 both show marriage flowing into church leadership rules. If creation flows into marriage and marriage flows into church, it seems artificial to draw a hard boundary there. In principle, extension beyond is possible.
