Payne on verse 10: the woman has authority (exousia), not under authority

All The Head Covering Debates (1 Cor 11): Women in Ministry part 10 00:53:38 – 00:55:11

Mike presents Payne's egalitarian reading of the authority verse.

Payne rejects 'a symbol of' (added in italics by NASB translators). The woman has authority over her own head -- she exercises control by not letting her hair down (since that symbolized sexual looseness). This removes male authority from the passage. Verses 11-12 then prove there is no authority difference between men and women.
