“My research and documentation has proven that 1 Cor. 15:36 is one of the most powerful statements of liberty and restoration and completely refutes even today’s hierarchists. I fully agree with you and isn’t this just like our God and Savior?”

and I didn’t see 1Cor 15:36 in your index on the side…
I’m intrigued by it, but I want to finish thinking through this 1Tim passage first.

I’m gonna be gone a couple days. (Its my 25th wedding anniversary 🙂 )
speaking of which…. I think the divorce rate is higher among patriarchal Christians than in the world (see the article “A Fresh Perspective on Submission and Authority in Marriage: at this link http://www.cbeinternational.org/new/free_articles/biblical_studies.shtml ) because the women eventually grow up and want to have a say about their own life… Fortunately, my husband has made the adjustment 🙂 though he still has no clue about all this stuff that I am learning (YIKES!)
