I guess what I am wondering is that when something is wrong, it is often wrong from a number of angles. So if compism is wrong it may be wrong from several angles.
On Cheryl’s site, we generally seem to be saying that when understood correctly, bible passages are not teaching compism, so we debate with comps about what the bible meant in its original setting.
William Webb seems to offer a different approach. I am not sure if he is correct or not yet. If he is correct, then even if we agreed with comps about the meaning of passages in their original setting, then comps are still wrong in the way they apply them. He offers what he considers to be valid hermeneutical principles to show that patriarchy (even if it was taught in the bible) is a cultural, rather than a trans- cultural practice on a par with slavery.
