Hi Jeremy

I am a complemenatarian because I don’t see any other way to understand God’s Word on this issue.

I can relate to what you say here. Up until 12 months ago I would have said the same thing, but the people here on this site have been very helpful to me in investigating the egalitarian position.

I’d love to hear your view on this.

I hope Cheryl doesn’t mind me poking my nose in here and recommending her DVD set. On it she discusses at length the so-called “difficult passages’ for egalitarianism such as the ones you mention- 1 Cor 14:33-36 and 1 Tim 2:11-15. If you go right to the top of this page and click on “DVD” it tells you all about it. I found it very informative and helped me to see that there is truly a very strong case for the egalitarian position while still holding a very high view of God’s Word as you do.
Also there are many posts and comments by Cheryl on this blog, and many comments by others if you look around on this site. If you go to the top of this page, on the right hand side, and scroll down you will see bible passages and topics that may interest you. Hope this helps.
