Mark,

Also in what way is Christ the ‘source’ of man? Is this identical with woman being the ‘source’ of man?

Christ is the originator of the man. The man is the source or origin of the flesh that became woman. God is the source or originator of the humanity of Christ. Woman is now the source or origin of the man. God is ultimately the origin of all.

You see source doesnt fit the context because it actually means different things depending on the relationship, do you really think Paul would use ‘kephale’ in quick succession like that and actually have it mean different things?

Yes, of course. The woman came from the man. How? A piece of his side was taken out and that was formed into a woman. Now the man comes out of the woman. How? Is it the exact same way that she was formed out of the man? No. But it is still the point of origin.

Please explain how authority over or superiority fits in this passage. I have answered all of your questions. It is time for you to answer mine.

Please exegete 1 Cor. 11 for us so that we can see how neatly “authority over” or “superiority” fits the context.
