Seven problems with the refutation/reputation view

All The Head Covering Debates (1 Cor 11): Women in Ministry part 10 01:30:38 – 01:35:45

Mike systematically dismantles the refutation view.

1) The supposed Corinthian quote is far longer than any other quote Paul attributes to them. 2) It contains deep theological teaching, unlike the pithy behavioral slogans elsewhere. 3) Paul doesn't respond to everything in the supposed quote. 4) There's no clear indication it IS a quote. 5) The quote supposedly starts with 'I want you to understand' -- but this 'I' follows Paul's own first-person 'I' in verse 2. 6) The transition mid-verse 7 is odd as an ending point for a quote since it continues the same logic. 7) Verses 8-9 continue the same argument, not offering a correction.
