If Mr. Duncan is actually serious about this:
“. . . ministry must carry the different distinctions between equal persons of the Trinity.”
And he makes it all about the “doctrine of Christ,” my question is, where is the Holy Spirit in all this? I can see how, when it suits them, advocates of patriarchy tell men that God the Father is their analog and an eternally subordinate Christ is the woman’s analog. But if we are going to properly reflect ALL THREE of the equal persons of the Trinity in their supposed “different distinctions,” where’s the Holy Spirit?
Nowhere, that I can tell, in patriarchal “doctrine.” Maybe because a human marriage relationship of two-in-one doesn’t make for a very good analog of the divine Three-in-one in the first place, and eternal subordinationism is rightly considered a heretical doctrine that has long since been proved antithetical to orthodox Trinitarian doctrine. Funny how the husband has to be the authority as Christ is the authority when it comes to marriage, but then somehow still the WIFE is supposed to be like the eternally subordinated Christ.
Am I the only one who sees a certain cognitive dissonance in the hodgepodge that is pro-patriarchy “doctrine”?
