Kristen,

Your whole argument is an argument from silence. The reality is, egalitarianism has just stripped authority away- that is all.

Look for example at what you said compared to others regarding the Titus reference. You don’t seem to have a problem that Church leaders are in authority, yet Kay and Cheryl say something different- the authority was in the word not in them.

So for some even Titus isn’t refering to authority of Church leaders, but for some it is. Likewise Eph 5 some say yes, some say no. So it’s not a matter of what someone did or didn’t say, it’s a matter of biblical interpretation.
