“The fact is that comps don’t want to dialog with us not because we don’t “understand the teaching” but because we ask questions they can’t respond to. Many of us (if not the majority) used to be complementarians so we do understand the teaching and what was expected of us. ”

This is correct. I have had the opportunity to meet some well known comp teachers and even when asking questions as a fellow comp about teaching that seem to be confusing or contradictory to other Biblical teaching, they were always dismissive. As if asking the questions, by themselves, were my problem in being rebellious. As time went on, I finally realized they did not like such questions and therefore responded in ad hominen style.

Mark, you have avoided such questions, too a few threads back. I don’t say that to be mean but to just point out that it happens all the time.

I have asked you at what age a boy becomes a man and a woman should not teach him. Your response is always cloaked in formal or informal church settings which is not scriptural at all. It is man made. Let;s say, in Nympha’s living room, at what age would boys be men that she would be in sin to teach them?

I have also asked why,since there is no prohibition in the OT against women teaching or leading men, we are expected to believe there is a new one in the NT?
