NN,

When we talk about complementarianism, it is not without knowledge. I attended a church with the very best and most well known complemnentarian teachers for many years.

I have missed your response to my questions. I will number them.

1. How do you reconcile your statement –

“As christians the relationship is governed by love [agapaoe] and this leads to mutual ’submission’ however in the marital relationship a second type of love also exists [eros] which is not intrinsic to all christian relationships, and this type of love is naturally hierarchical as established by God.”

with 1 Cor. 7 –

“The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. 4For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. 5 Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again,”

Here is the Greek –

? ???? ??? ????? ??????? ??? ?????????? ???? ? ????: ?????? ?? ??? ? ???? ??? ????? ??????? ??? ?????????? ???? ? ????. 5?? ??????????? ????????, ?? ???? ?? ?? ???????? ???? ?????? ??? ????????? ?? ???????? ??? ????? ??? ?? ???? ???,

Could you comment on how you perceive the use of ???????? and ???????? refer to hierarchy?

I will also mention that eros and hierarchy are to be had in spades on the internet, and reflect a lifestyle that I would hope that no woman would ever be exposed to. This is very trauma causing language. It should come with a restricted notification on it that it could cause injury to readers.
