“On 2 – You say that “We cannot compare Him (Jesus) to the human husband” in the context of marriage; it must be noted that Paul does (1 Cor 11:3. Eph 5:23). I offer here no explanation as to the particular interpretation of these passages and what Paul is saying but seek only to point out the direct scriptural problem with the claim made above.”

So, this would mean that married women are not to strive to be Christlike since that is the husband’s ‘role’? That is sure what this sounds like? Or maybe they are only to be the ones to model His humility and the husbands get to model the authority?

As to 1 Corin 11:3, how do you get that husbands are a sort of Christ to the wife from passage? Because, that is basically what you are arguing. If it was about heirarchy why does it say that the head of Christ is God…(instead of Father and last in the sequence?)
