Philip Payne's view of 'glory' also fails: man is God's glory means not-woman; woman is man's glory means sexual partner

All The Head Covering Debates (1 Cor 11): Women in Ministry part 10 04:22:28 – 04:26:01

Mike examines and refutes Payne's handling of glory.

Payne: man being God's glory means he should accept being a man (not effeminate). Woman being man's glory means she is his 'proper sexual partner' and 'the crowning glory of creation.' But man being God's glory cannot mean man is God's proper sexual partner -- the parallel breaks. Payne uses different meanings of glory for each gender throughout the passage, which is a consistent problem across all egalitarian interpretations.
