Craig,

I would have to see more evidence of why they claim the head-covering part is indirect and the not-teaching part is direct. What you have quoted has no actual support for such a position. What is so much different between these two passages, that they can say head coverings proceed indirectly from the idea, and not teaching proceeds directly? Other than the fact that they make that assumption to start with?

Of course, there is also the fact that egalitarians don’t believe authority is in view in 1 Cor 11 at all– and in 1 Tim 2 it is only the misuse of authority that is in view.

BTW, yes– the verse that supports my position that OT references in the NT are for examples, not for grounding, is 1 Cor 10:6.
