“Craig #93 “The comps I know focus very much on loving, sacrificial service as the way of exercising leadership and authority.”
If a woman exhibits loving, sacrificial service is she exercising leadership and authority?
As a “soft comp”, Craig, would you (have) concede(d) that if your wife were exhibiting loving, sacrificial service that she was exercising leadership and authority? I am new to this doctrinal debate having not heard the comp/egal terms until a couple of years ago.”
I may be painting myself into a corner here but if I put on my comp hat for a moment (getting a little harder to find it these days!) I would have to answer no. The man is to lead in a sacrificial, loving way. A woman is also to exhibit loving, sacrificial service, but not as a leader in marriage or the church. There are many ways besides leading, that she can serve God. The man should carry out the leadership of #142 in a sacrificial, loving manner, not in a bossy, demanding, self-centered way. Sacrificial loving service can be carried out without having to be a leader. Is that a reasonable comp answer?
