“There is quite a disconnect when one does not have the answers to these hard questions on women. What does a complementarian do? If that one wants to remain a complementarian because it is a safe, comfortable place and he/she doesn’t love the truth, they will do nothing. But those who love the truth will be motivated to find the answers.”

Yes, “safe, comfortable” has a tremendous pull for people. Let’s face it, it’s just plain scarry to step out of the popular, acceptable mainstream. If William Tyndale was declared a heretic and burnt at the stake for making Bibles so every one including a plough boy would be able to read it, what can we expect? Some of the new words and phrases introduced by Tyndale did not sit well with the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church, using words like ‘Overseer’ rather than ‘Bishop’ and ‘Elder’ rather than ‘Priest’, ‘congregation’ rather than ‘Church’ and ‘love’ rather than ‘charity’.

Not that we should be compared to the likes of Tyndale, but now egals are being called out for wanting ‘source’ instead of ‘head’ and a better translation of ‘authenteo’ than ‘authority.’
