To Cheryl re comment #260. Might I recommend you read your own advice back in comment 12 or TL’s in #143? No one (NN, Mark or myself) have said anything of the sort. You have stated that you are frustrated with the conversation so maybe that’s why you are reading into things, but either way, nothing like what you stated has been said.

Here is the problem…many of us have asked over and over again where the authority of the man over the woman is found in Genesis and no answer is given. But there is a control tactic going on saying that there will be no answers forthcoming unless SM can answer something first.

So I am going to ask it another way and I would ask respectfully that either you or NN please answer. When did God institute the authority of the man over his wife? Was it in Paul’s day that this was instituted? If not, when was it instituted? I think that these are perfectly good questions and deserve to be answered. Why should we accept that there is a male authority resulting in a hierarchy of man over woman if such a distribution of authority from God cannot be determined? If we can know when the authority over creation was given, why cannot we know when authority over the woman was given?
