Alternative egalitarian argument from silence on Colossians rejected

Have We Misunderstood "Wives Submit"? Women in Ministry part 9 01:29:38 – 01:31:09

Mike briefly addresses the view that Paul only commanded submission in certain cultural contexts.

Some egalitarians argue Paul told wives in Colossae to submit because that culture expected it, but in cultures where men had less authority, Paul doesn't mention submission -- treating silence as evidence women weren't submitting in those areas. Mike calls this a 'weak argument from silence' and moves on.
