“2. Would God actually put a human authority layer between Jesus Christ and married women? What would be the function of the Holy Spirit in a married woman’s life, if that is the case?”
I am not sure about this one. I know many comps, women included, who would not see this as an issue.
Does having someone in authority over me really put a layer between me and Jesus and prevent the Holy Spirit from functioning? I think this language is too strong. I know some have questioned this, but I still believe that as a child, my parents had authority over me, and Jesus and the Holy Spirit still worked wonderfully in me. Likewise I believe the government has authority over me and doesn’t create any “layers” that hinder my relationship with God. I think the issue is whether the husband has really been given authority by God. I can understand when comps aren’t convinced by this, but maybe I just don’t understand the argument properly.
