Dunsman,

You are exactly right. The failure of the complementarian position is that eventually it must show inconsistency. To keep it completely consistent one must create an entire “rule” book of rules. i.e. is a woman allowed to give a man directions when he is lost or would that be “teaching” him and “taking authority” over him? There is so many inconsistencies and gray areas that must come because of the complementarian position that it makes my head spin. I have read that a woman is allowed to give a “testimony” as long as she doesn’t use more than two scriptures in her testimony. If she uses more than two then she has stepped into the forbidden area of “teaching”. Honestly it reminds me of the Talmud and the multitude of human laws that restricted and hedged people in, in a way that God never intended.
