Dave,

I agree we shouldn’t get side tracked on kephale…i brought it up to simply show how your argument about truth is flawed, since egalitarians cannot show one example to support their argument. You show the classic case by arguing that different metaphors have different meanings. But what about 1 Cor 11:3. Same context, smae structure, same metaphor, yet you argue that each relationship gets a different meaning. I can’t except those type of exegetical backflips to dismiss the clear meaning.

Second, let me ask you an example

Roman 10:9 If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Is Paul suggesting here that Jesus is not the ONLY way to be saved? What do you say? Are you really happy to follow your logic through here aswell?

This is an important example since.
1. It is also from Paul
2. It is dealing with salvation
3. It is also a future probable conditional clause.

Thanks. I broke my holiday to comment so i shall say no more until i return.
