The more I read of bloggers like the Baylys and those on the discussion boards at Carm I really can fully appreciate blogs such as this. It seems to me that the accusation of egalitarians having a problem with authority is misplaced. Complimentarians seem to view everything through the lenses of power instead of love. The scripture says that “God is Love” and that the proof that your are one of Christ’s is the love we show one toward another not the power that we can claim over one another. I Corithinans 13 tells us that ” that love is not puffed up” and “love seeks not her own”. The ugly attitude and personal attacks errupt (when they ca’nt rightly defend thier position, Diane on Carm has called Bibically informed egalitarians stupid) are symptoms of the lack of love in some members of the body of Christ (therefore, all the members suffer.) In such an effort to be orthodox (as they see it) they have omitted the weightier matters of the law which is judgement or justice, mercy and faith. Make no mistake Egalitarians do not miss the air of superiority that leaders in the complimentarian movement exude, that spirit is really there and it thrives among authoritarians. It is not just a figment of the Feminized Church’s (so complimentarians call it) imagination.
