Better parallel is wives and children, not wives and slaves

Have We Misunderstood "Wives Submit"? Women in Ministry part 9 03:03:24 – 03:03:54

Mike suggests a more appropriate comparison.

If egalitarians want to argue wives don't have to submit, the better parallel in Ephesians is children, not slaves. Children obeying parents is also in the household code. Mike challenges: would egalitarians say children don't have to obey parents? He cites Proverbs on the importance of discipline. He also clarifies he's NOT saying wives are like children -- they're not permanent minors.
