Regarding Matt. 22:23-30
Mark wrote: ”4. This text has nothing to do with authority and everything to do with the resurrection. It is a bad ‘proof’ text to support your view.”
I’m not so sure. Christ gave 2 answers, first saying they did not know the Scriptures or the power of God for in the resurrection there is no marriage, but are like the angels. Then Jesus says:” But concerning the resurrection of the dead…..” So, Christ’s first answer was not only about the resurrection. I suspect He knew what was in their hearts and answered that as well, because their wording was who would “have” her, meaning whose possession would she be, which is indirectly about authority.
Regarding the McCarthy research on kephale,
Mark wrote: ”2. The links were not well researched at all, it was just a rebuttle about a very small thing Grudem has said. It was all about dis-proving Grudem, and had very little ‘research’ to show any other use of the word.”
This appears to be a very revealing answer as one who is not interested in real research. But I’m going to assume that perhaps you don’t really know the extent of what Grudem says regarding both authority of men and how he improperly uses the word kephale. As well, to say that McCarthy did not research well must mean you didn’t really read her research. McCarthy’s research is pretty much within the top 10% of research on the subject. And while Grudem is popular, his research is appallingly second rate, leaving info off, assuming claims that cannot be actually supported, and so forth.
”Im unsure whether you are disputing the 3 uses of kephale in greek literature that i listed or agreeing?”
If you don’t mind, would you please give them again and I’ll respond after church.
