Perhaps something that should have been brought up, oh say 500 comments ago, is when is it decided that an argument is proven?

Cheryl you have mentioned before that complementarians have never answered questions you have for them about various texts. I suspect what you mean is that they have never answered to your satisfaction, they have never proven their position to you.

So when is it proven?

For the vast majority of the thread the sides haven’t even been able to agree on basic common ground. (the definition of authority, that for whatever reason it is there that the instructions are different to husbands and wives, and others). If we can’t agree on a starting point (and indeed it doesn’t seem like we even agree fully on the nature of our relationship as the Church to Christ) I don’t think we can say “you haven’t proven your argument.” At best we can say “I still disagree with you.”

Which really is fine. Arminians and Calvinists disagree on many many (very big) things. They are both however Christians and a part of the body, The aren’t both 100% right, but they are both still Christians.
