I don’t have the book Jesus and the Father but I understand that it is pretty much the same material as what is in the Trinity and Subordinationism which I do have.

From what I have read and have been told by complementarians is that egalitarians tend to appeal to church councils instead of the bible to prove their point. While I do agree that what church councils set up as the orthodox view of the Trinity, I also believe that one must vigorously defend the Trinity primarily through the scriptures thus that will be the focus of our DVD. This DVD will be deal with scriptures that others have ignored and it will also deal with the “troublesome” scriptures that seem to imply some type of subordination within the Trinity. We believe that our work will be unique in that it will hit the problem head on instead of bypass the scriptures in favor of man’s word. Even with that, we will have a section on the creeds and the church fathers because this will be used as a second and third witness, although not the primary witness to the Trinity.

Michael, I appreciate all of your thoughts here on this blog. I haven’t had time to answer everything that you have posted and so any questions that I have missed may have to be posed again at another time. I apologize for my lack of answering in a timely fashion. I have personally been overwhelmed with the struggles that our ministry has been facing from the government and the persecution that has followed who are intent on shutting up our witness of the gospel to the cults. Between that and my normal ministry work and the work on the Trinity DVD, I have been quite distracted although my heart is very, very passionate on the women’s issue just as yours is too. One person cannot do it all, but together we can all pull our resources and our talents and our God-given gifts together to make a difference.
