Davids claims Peter references the Testament of Abraham, not Genesis, for Sarah
Mike examines and refutes Davids' argument about the Sarah reference.
Davids' three-point case: (1) Genesis 18:12 doesn't show Sarah actively submitting in that specific verse, (2) other Genesis passages show submission but without 'Lord' language, (3) extra-biblical accounts (especially Testament of Abraham) have Sarah calling Abraham 'Lord' more often. Davids concludes Peter is appealing to a cultural standard (ideal Hellenistic wife), not a biblical one.
