“‘History does repeat itself in cycles though, and I do see the complementarians breaking off and creating a kind of eastern empire, much in the same way Constantine did in the 4th century.’”

Or even during the Reformation. The groups who had been outside the Catholic church were thrilled with the Reformation until they realized that the reformers were keeping many things Catholic like infant baptism, state church, etc. The refused to join and were considered heretics. Many descendents of these groups later coming to America seeking freedom of worship. I read something recently that approximated that only 6% of the American population were members of the Church of England before the Revolutionary war. I was stunned since that was the ‘state church’.

The parallel is how many comps are now teaching that egal doctrine is as dangerous as Open Theism or Liberation Theology and is sin. People are being shamed and shunned for being egalitarian. I know many who just keep their mouths shut about it at church. Why? It is very hard to find an egalitarian church that is not liberal in primary doctrine.

Did anyone notice in the paper how concerned Moore is about complimentarians being too soft? And this softness, to him, means they are losing to egalitarians? I do not understand this at all because comps pretty much hold the power reigns in many mega churches and denominations.

Light, you summed it up in what you heard him say about mutual decision making in marriage. Do you remember the reference by any chance? That is pretty hard core.
