As far as falsification.
You could prove our theories false if Paul literally said “obey”, if Eph 5:22 was sufficiently divorced from 5:21, if it could be demonstrated that Eph 5:21 submission contained a hierarchy, if it could be demonstrated that agape is not exclusively selfless and service oriented – that it contained an aspect of authority, if the Greek “head” could be shown to include authority in anatomical metaphor (or “body” include obedience)… that’s just off the top of my head. I believe we have been asking for that all along.
On the other hand, as I noted in my previous post, you acknowledge that your theory could be proven false if “‘hupotassoe’ didn’t really convey the ideas of obedience”. It does not in verse 21. Therefore, your theory is false. Thanks for the heads up.
