…I simply want Susannah to be consistent in her Biblical Theology. If she (or you) want an ‘explicit’ statement in Gen 1-3, why not demand it for other theologies? That’s all I’m saying.

Why demand one explicit statement in regards the Trinity for example, when it’s proven by more than one explicit statement added to another? There are more than enough explicit statements made in the bible to defne the Godhead as a “Trinity”.

If you agree that you will not accept comp theology without an explicit statement in Gen 1-3, then please explain how you reconcile the rest of the Bible. After all, not once, is there a statement “husbands submit to your wives”.

There doesn’t have to be an explicit statement because we have “submit to one another” more than once. But what you have is different- facts that you make inferences from where no implications are given. For example, Adam named his wife therefore he had authority over her. I recall that we went over this already too – husbands never named their wives in Hebrew culture so there’s no way to make a claim to it being a sign of the husband’s authority.
