“Egalitarianism is not taught nor was it modeled in Scripture. It takes an extreme twisting of the Word to buy into the egalitarian belief”

LOL Sure it isn’t. Actually, the complimentarian view of constant human hierarcy is what’s biased and not taught. Are you aware that those who force either women or men to step under another person almost always lower Christ in order to do so? Wayne Grudem is wicked enough to not only lower Christ, but claim that when God acts as helper to us, He is acting subordinate! Are you aware that Bruce Ware claims that unsubmissive wives invite abuse and that we should not even pray to Jesus? That’s what these people are like: obsessed with authority. Ware happily preaches about how it’s Godly to practice heavy authority over others, completely unaware that this is NOT what God’s Word says. Christ clearly says that raising up princes among us is not His plan; fellowship is. Christian authority comes from sharing God’s Word, not trying to build human hierarchy over others. The word pastor is rarely used anywhere at all in the Bible; instead, “preaching” is exhorted quite often, with no limits on gender whatsoever. As for husband being king over the wife, I rather fear you have no problem with that disgusting doctrine either. Your challenge here, all blustery and indignant, is rather amusing. I’m happy you decided to stick around. Become learned in what is truly God’s Word.
