” agree. But why the paradigm? Simply, because of the meaning of the English word “head”.”

The paradigm exists because it has been taught. Our ancestors felt the same way about slavery. It was the norm and anyone who thought different was bombarded with proof texts for why it was God’s plan. It was a few Christians in the North who started the Abolitionist movement. Have you ever read Dabney?

I wonder if I was told all my life I had preeminance for simply being a woman if I would want to give it up? We can all fall into these traps….but our Lord teaches us service to others, being a bondservant to Him and giving up our rights and positions to not be like the “Genitles”.
