I am just now looking at Gal 2:5 as a verse that may have some relevance as to whether hupotasso is only to an authority. Is hupotage the same thing?
Paul and Titus did not submit to the Judaizers demands that Titus be circumcised. Did the Judaizers have any authority over Paul and Titus? No. Presumably they didn’t submit because the Judaizers were demanding something that was wrong.
What if the Judaizers were actually demanding something else that happened to be a good and godly thing to do. Paul and Titus would presumably then have “submitted”.
According to my logic, submission can thus be done to someone who doesn’t have authority and can therefore be done to one another.
Does this sound correct? Have I got the word right or would comps argue that hupotage is different?
