Another question just for clarification.
For comps, their explanation seems to stand or fall on the word “authentein” (spelling?) in v 12 meaning what they call normal “authority” (in contrast to domineering, or lording it over) that is OK for men to have over women, but not women over men, in the church and home.
For egals, their explanation doesn’t depend on the meaning of this word because their is no legitimate authority. Any type of “authority” would be bad- for either men or women to exercise over the other. All the discussion about the meaning of “authentein” may be interesting but not critical to their position.
