Ware’s idea originates in the need to find a precedence for permanent subordination. The devaluing of the will and authority of Jesus and attaching it to the devaluing of the will and authority of the woman was the perfect solution to have a slam-bam case closed solution. The next issue became the problem of what to do with the woman in eternity. Many are now saying that since she was created to be subordinate then she has to keep that subordination for all of eternity just as they believe that Jesus will be eternally subordinate. Those who have accepted the permanent subordination of the woman create a “role” for men that is permanent into eternity so that only men will judge the earth and judge angels. But Paul said in 1 Cor. 6 that it is all of us (the body of Christ) who will judge the world and judge angels.

The subordination view just seems to grow and grow and take more and more freedom away from women even in eternity.
