Susanna at 552 said, “One of you, I think it was NN, but it could also have been you, told me that since the Bible does not explicitly say the husband should submit to his wife, mutual submission does not exist. Why is it that you demand explicit verses from us when you cannot provide such yourself?”

Good call! But why, Mark, do you think that Paul never saying directly to husbands specifically, “submit to your wives” means that husbands have authority? To do this you have to IGNORE verse 21 where we are told to submit to one another, but also, without explicit information you are assuming something because of a lack of information. To return to your trinity argument, can you prove to me there is not a ‘quadinity’ rather than a trinity? Where is your verse that says God is NOT four in one?

So, if you are claiming something is BIblically mandated YOU should show the evidence.
Egals are saying husbands are not in authority because the Bible does NOT say they are – the absence proves our point.
Egals are saying that we should submit to one another because the Bible explicitly says WE should – the explicit instruction proves our point.

My spam word was “noun”. This proves it, authority must be a noun…
