pinklight:“What is “the spritual head of a man” category? How do pastors and elders fall under this category? And how does a restriction on women teaching in church fall under this category??”

Mark:This category falls under the man i believe because men are the only ones aloud to be elders/pastors. We can engage in a discussion about the relevant texts for this but atm i’m trying to concentrate on these videos, but im sure we will get there at some stage. The restriction falls to women teaching because women are never given that position and Paul does not permit women to teach in those settings. Thats my position anyway.

Hi Mark,

Okay, so the pastor/elder fall under the category of the spiritual head of a man ( 1 Co 11 and Eph 5) because you believe that men only are the ones allowed to be pastors and elders. Now it sounds like your talking in circles! And then also say that women being restricted from teaching also falls under the category of the spiritual head of a man because they are never given that position? Which position? You mean since the wife is not the head of her husband and since the woman is not the head of the man therefore women are restricted from teaching? Is that what you were trying to convey above? Or were you saying that women are restricted from teaching which falls under the category of the spirtual head of the man because they are never given the position of pastor or elder? And what setting are you referring to above?

Go ahead and concentrate on the videos. I’ll just re-post this comment of mine soon so that we can pick up here when you can.
