NN

As stated, it was not my intention to put forth a general interpretation. Merely to point out a flaw in the argument as it was made. To partially answer your question let us say that women are never told to be under “exousiadzoe” from their husbands in Scripture. However, wives are pointedly told to be under the “hupotassoe” of their husbands, (A Greek military term speaking of troops arranging themselves under the commands of their leader). while no reciprocal statement is made to the husbands (Eph 5, Col 3). Again I offer no interpretation of what this is supposed to mean or why exactly the apostle wrote it, I merely point out that these passages are present in the Scripture and do indicate an inequality in the instructions of the apostle.
