Four problems with Westfall's 'representing Christ in any function' argument

The Egalitarian ＂Silver Bullet＂ Bible Verse： Women in Ministry part 7 01:03:50 – 01:05:20

Mike systematically lists objections to the bridge Westfall has built.

Problem 1: Being in Christ relates to sonship status (seed of Abraham, heirship, Holy Spirit, justification) — turning this into 'representing Christ in any function' changes the subject without Paul's permission. Problem 2: While Christians do represent Christ, this is not what Galatians discusses — Galatians covers salvation, justification, and their results, not representation. Problem 3: 1 Corinthians 7 and Ephesians 5 actually do discuss how men and women represent Christ differently based on gender. Problem 4: Adding 'any function' goes radically beyond Paul's scope in Galatians.
