Thanks Truthseeker!
I had never read about it either any where. It HIT me some time last week…the context can only support who Paul was refering to in v3 when he penned the word “God”.

I want to see CBMW ACTUALLY deal with the context of 1 Corinthians 11!

“In recent years, 1 Cor 11:3 has been used to buttress a complementarian model of sexuality (men and women are spiritual equals, but have different, complementary gender based roles). The relevance of this text to clarify gender role debates is patently clear. Paul gives us an instructional model for male leadership-the man is the head of the woman as God [the Father] is the head of Christ. The eternal functional headship or authority1 of the Father over the Son, often referred to as functional subordination within the Trinity, has been well developed by others.2 My concern is rather to build on this theological principle by teasing out some of the implications of functional subordination affirmed in 1 Cor 11:3 to correct misunderstandings and distortions of male headship.”
