“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.”

Actually, we haven’t been discussing the nature of our relationship as the Church, or the Body of Christ, to Christ. But that would be a good discussion, and one in which we might more easily agree.

Every hypothesis must have a foundation under it to support the resulting conclusions or else it easily falls apart. This is our problem. You did not put forth a Biblical foundation for male only authority in marriage, in which a husband is the authority over his wife to which she must comply with his desires, wishes, etc. Authority cannot be assumed. You do that in a business and you’ll be thought of as psychotic. One must have authority conferred upon them at some specific point in order to rightly wield it and rightly expect compliance. You’ve not provided any Scriptures where God confers authority upon husbands to exercise over their wives. It’s much more than simply not agreeing. You’ve been flying in an airballoon with no basket — and want us to join you!! NOT a good idea.
