“O.k., you say that you have some type of ‘authority’ that:
1. you can’t exercise
2. you are not interested in keeping
3. is not determined by possessing male reproductive organs”

Interesting summary Kay! We have talked before about comps who live like egals, such is the confusion between what they are told the bible means and what the Bible does say.

It is also interesting that Mark does not think there is any connection with hierarchy and abuse, but then if you cannot exercise or even want to keep you authority, then you are hardly being hierarchical enough to see the link with abuse.

I personally believe that Grudem is manipulative with regard to his research/writing and I am happy to refer you to examples of this Mark, if it is helpful. His own reasearch with regard to kephlae backs up the egal position, not the comp…he has just distorted it, but if anyone cares to look at what he has written the lies are easily seen for what they are. He appears to be a man who wants to keep and exercise what he sees as his right to have authority, even to the extent of distorting the Gospel. Perhaps we should have that coffee?
