Kerryn,

Good points. The cultural issue and tradition is a really big issue too. It can take a person a lot of work to get their head around the tradition to see things another way. I think that is why Paul said that the Lord’s bond-servant must gently correct those who are in opposition. 2 Timothy 2:24, 25. Tradition is very difficult to overcome without gentleness, kindness and God’s help to remove the blinders.

Oopsmartin,
Yes I can get something together but it might take a few days as I have several things that have been waiting first. The topic got closed by the moderators because of the condescending attitude of the complementarians so I wasn’t sure where to post the information where it would be seen. I will work on that this week. It is a very important point and something that complementarians are more open to agree with the reasoning if it is posed outside of the women’s issue. Problem is that they don’t want to reason through the women’s issue because it seems they have too much invested in keeping the status quo. I will see how I can word it later this week.

Blessings and I hope you didn’t get ripped apart too much. The comps were extremely unkind on that board.
