Galatians 3:28 used by egalitarians to override other passages like 1 Timothy 2

The Egalitarian "Silver Bullet" Bible Verse: Women in Ministry part 7 00:02:02 – 00:03:03

Mike explains how egalitarians deploy Galatians 3:28 as an interpretive rule that forces reinterpretation of complementarian proof texts.

Some egalitarians argue that whatever 1 Timothy 2 ('I do not allow a woman to teach or have authority over a man') seems to say, it must be misunderstood because of Galatians 3:28. The verse functions as a hermeneutical rule that limits how other passages can be interpreted. Many complementarians are unaware this verse is so central to the egalitarian case.
