John,

I have to run out the door again for another appointment so I can’t go through all of your posts to answer them.  I would like you to take the time to show how Genesis 3:16 is a law.  What is a law?  How is a law given that makes it a law?  Who is Genesis 3:16 spoken to and what are they commanded to do in this verse?  Is submission commanded or even mentioned in this verse?  What is commanded?

Can you also explain why other strong complementarians have rejected that Genesis 3:16 is the “law” that is referred to in 1 Cor. 14:34, 35?  Do they also have an “agenda”?  Or is finding the truth of scripture a cause to reevaluate some of our misconceptions about a “law” that is never listed in scripture as demanding women to be silent in the assembly.

I look forward to your response.  I think that if we keep this to the argument and not color our response with a questioning of someone’s motive, being that we are all brothers and sisters in Christ, we should be able to have a great and lively discussion.

Thanks!

My Dentist awaits me.
