Thanks Kristen. I see from the time you commented that you were up late again. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Unfortunately, all I have is what I quoted for you.
I haven’t actually used this line of reasoning yet, so I don’t know if they will argue this way or not. Gengwall encouraged me to be prepared as much as possible for how they might reply, rather than my usual ready, fire, aim approach 🙂
You have given some good food for thought.
I think the comps I fellowship with could see it more as you have indicated (if I understand you correctly). This would be
1 Cor 11
a)Adam first, then Eve b) Men have authority over women c) head covering
1 Tim 2
a)Adam first, then Eve b) Men have authority over women c)women shouldn’t teach from an authoritative position.
This would make head covering on a par with women not teaching. Both are indirect and so it must be considered whether both could be cultural.
This could help with the “women not teaching” part.
Of course, your other points are also helpful. Thanks
