cont… The motive for the slave:
“Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart.” Eph. 6:6

In short there’s just no way to make human authority exactly the same as God’s authority. It’s two different things. And if it’s two different things (which clearly it is) then the submission wouldn’t be identical either.
As I pointed out before, comps don’t try to claim all the things Christ has for the husband (ie. all things under his feet, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me”) but only the things they want (ie. the final say-so).

If everything about Christ doesn’t directly apply to husbands then perhaps (tongue-in-cheek) the “authority” doesn’t either. Perhaps they ignore vs. 21??? Maybe they just like picking and choosing the attributes of Christ they want???
