Craig #160 “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…. Sacrificial loving service can be carried out without having to be a leader. Is that a reasonable comp answer?”
142 “LEADERSHIP is about guiding, directing, pointing, protecting, assisting, giving encouragement and example to follow what is taught.”
Craig, that is consistent with what I have heard and read of hier-comps. It seems it boils down to semantics redefined based on gender.
If men guide, direct, point, protect, assist, give encouragement and an example to follow they are leading.
If women guide, direct, point, protect, assist, give encouragement and an example to follow they are submitting.
If hier-arch comps are going to teach that leadership (sacrifical loving) is exclusively the role of the males, as they do, and submission exclusively the role of the females, as they do, then the behaviors that define leadership….guide, direct, point, protect, assist, etc., and those that define submission, must not be used interchangeably by the sexes otherwise, to borrow their term, we have gender confusion.
That would be more consistent than simply saying well males and females practically do the same things, but when men do it is is leading and when women do it is submitting.
