Also for CBMW to say that Christ “redeemed” gender-based roles, puts a spin on Christ’s redemptive work that is not biblical.  When we can see that Old Testament women had more freedom to serve than New Testament women in some complementarian churches, something is drastically wrong.  Most comp churches will not allow women to teach men but OT women were not restricted in this way.  It is a sad day when we can see these restrictions on women after Christ that were not there before Christ and then hear complementarians say that these gender-based roles are “redeemed” by Christ.  If the restrictions are a “redemption” then what were the freedoms that godly women of old experienced?  Was their freedom a sign of sin?
