Thanks for the info Frank…I wished I had read some of that before I prepared my post!

You quote Dawes as referring to “mutual subordination”. I have also read debates before where the words “submission” and subordination” are seen as meaning the same thing or swapped with one another. I have not read Dawes except for what you just quoted, but it seems to me that submission and subordination are fundamentally different. One has to do with the “natural order”, the other has to do with how you “choose to relate” to someone. Would you agree? Because I think that we can submit to one another, but I do not think we can be subordinate to one another…especially in CHrist (Gal 3:28!). Perhaps I am pedantic?

I like Dawes’ thinking on “one another”!
