Mark,

You and argue all you want why Paul didn’t use certain words but the fact is he used the ones he did. Kephale does have authority…cased closed…do some proper research before making silly comments.

There cannot be an case-closed until it is shown to us how the meaning of “authority over” or “superiority” fits the context of the passage. It is very understandable to us in the context how “source” or “point of origin” fits and the passage is talking about the origin of the man and the woman. But if we are wrong in “superiority” fits better, I would like to see it exegeted from the context.

Remember that a possible meaning of a word will never do until the context fits that meaning to show that this is indeed the author’s intention.
