“Kephale does not actually mean “authority” or “origin” but has been interpreted as metaphorically representing one or the other.”

Interesting! It is also interesting that with Grudem’s research he is the one who decides what Kephale should be interpreted as metaphorically representing. He then tells us that this is what it “means”, and people accept what he says without looking into it themselves. One bloke I was reading said this about Grudem, “Grudem lays waste the egalitarian word games that seek to muddy the waters concerning the meaning of kephale, hypotasso, authenteo.” http://www.pressiechurch.org/Issues.html

Can I call him a “Rude, Crude, Grude Machine”, if I don’t question his motives? 🙂
