Frankly, at the risk of being redundant, I don’t think the resolution to this debate has any impact at all on the hierarchy debate.

I disagree. If Adam alone were forced out of the garden, responsible alone for sin coming into the world, the ground being cursed, and was a failed watchman, evrything negative (!) the comp hierarchal argument in Essence crumbles. In the comp argument, Adam is given rulership over Eve – “a glory” if you will… So it’s the (scriptural) light shown on Adam that changes everything hierarchal. The Adam placed above the woman in the scriptures is not the same glorified Adam placed above woman in comp doctrine. What Genesis tells us about the individual Adam has impact on the way the average church goer views the “comp position”…
