Question 3: What does kephale mean? Conclusions from video 8 on male headship

All The Head Covering Debates (1 Cor 11)： Women in Ministry part 10 01:36:15 – 01:38:48

Mike references his prior detailed study on kephale.

Conclusions from video 8: (1) Headship implies authority. (2) Ancient medical thought about what the head does supports this. (3) Paul's multiple metaphorical uses of kephale for Jesus and husbands support authority meaning. (4) Church history consistently holds this view, including Greek speakers. (5) Lexical study supports it. (6) Common egalitarian claims about the term are 'seriously problematic.' Kephale is translated 'head' but carries a connotation of authority.
