From what I could gather, the couple Piper talks about were influenced by HIS teaching. Piper says that this is not Complementarianism, but just “sick”. Yet this is part of the problem. When did it go from being comp to being sick? How does Scripture back up and show the line between comp and sick? It would appear the Piper defines it as sick not because of Scripture but because of some social influence as to what is “normal”.

I have always struggled with the comp perspective because if you follow it to the logical end it is sick! If you don’t want to follow it to its logical end you have a whole lot of decisions you need to make…women cannot teach Sunday School to boys of a certain age…but what age? Your wife must ask your permission as her “head”…but for how much?

Piper might think it is sick, but many Muslim men would not.
