In my show stopper post on Genesis 2, I address this idea of naming as an authority granter. It is, of course, as presumptuous and ill supported as the created order argument. But I find something even more disturbing about the comp side of the debate. They base their whole argument not on scriptural principles but on cultural practices. Are the traditions of fallen humans really the best support upon which to rest a theological argument? I suppose, if that’s all you got, then they are. But I would hope that we could look more to God’s word for clarity on what God meant and less to the dark and murky realms of cultural anthropology.

I do want to wander off to your “show stoppers” once I catch up myself. I value your wisdom and am sure that you have some very good thoughts. I will catch up with you later.

You are so right in that we need to get our support from the Biblical text and not from fallen human tradition. All of us would do well to heed your word of wisdom.
