Mark

Hi all,

I dont think comp theology believes that men and women are different spiritually. Well at least i don’t, nor do i believe that is what is taught in ‘Recovering biblical manhood and womanhood’. After all Gal 3:28 teaches that in Christ none is spiritually more important than another regardless of gender or race.

However whether or not God gives us seperate roles is another matter, which does not detract from the spritual equality. For example God does not gift or use everybody in the same way but does that mean some are more spiritual than others? After all a good example from the Old Covenant is the restriction of priesthood for the Levites. Distinction of roles does not = spiritual hierarchy. Until this is understood egals and comps will never dialogue properly.

Comp theology therefore does not make men more spiritual than women just because we believe that men and women have different roles. That notion is a false idea pressed upon it by egalitarians. It is a false description unfortunately.

Cheryl it is a shame you dont have time to look into the ommission of YHWH in gen 3. It would most definately help you in your understanding of that passage.
