It is the same old circular reasoning that we always deal with.

The husband has authority over the wife
Why
Because God gave it to him
How do you know
Because the husband has authority over the wife

Boy, oh boy, have you hit the nail on the head! This is what is so frustrating. There is never really any answers to the questions but circular reasoning, alternated with no time for the questions themselves. It comes across to me that their mind is made up and we should not bother them with the facts.

I still think that these discussions can be very valuable for those who have not hardened their hearts against hearing the hard questions. Such ones may or may not respond here but I am certain that many are reading these discussions and thinking deeply about the issues. That makes it all worth it for me. I do not “go there” easily on the issue of marriage, but when I am willing to be upfront, honest and patient with the opposition, I am looking for God to touch hearts as people see that we have come to our position because of the Word of God, not in spite of it.
