Thats ok gengwall…let it out buddy…

Seriously, thanks for that it is very helpful to have that all together like that.

In regards to circular reasoning, these arguments are of course often combined…
Comp: “Husbands are in authority!”
Egal: “How do you know that?”
Comp: “Because husbands are ‘head’.”
Egal: “So what?”
Comp: “Well ‘head’ means authority.”
Egal: “How do you know THAT?”
Comp: “Because husbands, who are the head, are in authority because God created them first – therefore, ‘head’ means authority.”
Egal: “What has created order got to do with it?”
Comp: “Well first in order has authority.”
Egal: “How do you know THAT?”
Comp: “Because Adam, who was created first, was in authority over Eve and was the head – therefore, first in order means authority – that is head!”
