Paula #123,
Great question – What part of “egalitarian” means supremacy?

This is the part that I don’t really get. Why do some complementarians think that egalitarians are “power hungry” and what the supremacy when all they are looking for is be useful in our spiritual gifts as equal human beings? Men have taken a role of rulership that I do not want. The fact is that these men shouldn’t have it either. No man or woman should rule over the other. The world’s way is rulership, domination and subjugating other people. This is not the “Way of the Master”. Jesus turned the world upside down by equating greatness with humility and servanthood. Those who seek power and control are not following Jesus’ way and I do not know any egalitarian who wants to set themselves up as a ruler.
