Jack,
Welcome to my blog!

This post deals with the problems that come from the complementarian position where the restrictions that are “heard” from complementarian sources cause more restrictions than perhaps the original author intended. John Piper is candid enough to explain where one man took control off his wife’s every move as a result of how he applied the kingly authority that he thought he had over his wife. Perhaps you could explain where the consequences of a belief is misrepresented. I have seen many women who have been taken over by their husbands as a result of the comp teaching that husbands are to have kingly authority over their wives and it is a good thing to discuss the fall out of an unbiblical teaching. If you have further comments about how the commenters here have misunderstood or misrepresented Piper, I am sure they would be interested to hear that.

I believe that it is a wonderful desire to serve God and to honor and glorify Him, but I do not believe that one does this by taking an authority over one’s spouse even if it is for what one thinks is noble purposes. Differing thoughts and comments are welcomed here.
