Much to chew on here, and I thank you very, very much!  Just a reminder that I am egal, but am having this debate with my non-egal spouse.   I have checked all the McCarthy links, thank you Cheryl!…Don, when Carson claims that the LSJ has both common and classical Greek, and that Bauer only has common, thus if it isn’t found to be a meaning in Bauer it isn’t common, how does one know which of the meanings in LSJ are classical and which are common?  So, if Bauer has left out ‘source’ or ‘origin’ as common definitions for kephale (as Carson claims-I don’t have either lexicon so I can’t check this out), what you are suggesting is that Bauer’s lexicon is not exhuastive per common definitions?  When ‘source’ or ‘origin’ are listed in the LSJ, are they notated as to whether they are classical or common usage?
     I realize that context would seem to be clear about kephale meaning source or origin.  Yet, it remains like that elusive picture that is shown of a drawing that can either look like a young woman or an old witchy woman, depending on how one ‘sees’ it.  I think, similarly, that for a while, one’s mind (comps.) can just ‘not see’ any other context than the authority/leader one and this must just require prayer and the enlightening of the Holy Spirit within them to see clearly.  The comp I discuss these things with is very sincere, and spending hours reading the info I present as well as the opposing view’s info,  but just cannot get past the authority/leader concept of head.  It does look like there may be some new ‘lightbulb’ points expressed in the recent comments, though.   I thank ALL of you for what you have shared!  Any prayers for the outcome of this debate with my comp spouse are welcome, too!
