Mike Winger idea 2022-06-20

Westfall's expansion: men cannot have primogeniture status over women based on creation order

Mike critiques Westfall's application of Galatians 3:28 to inter-human relationships.

1 Timothy 1 Corinthians 7 Ephesians primogeniture 1 Timothy 1 Corinthians 7
Mike Winger idea 2022-06-20

Did NT Christians still practice primogeniture? Wives submitting to husbands?

Mike tests the egalitarian logic against practical NT realities.

Ephesians 5 marriage submission inheritance practices Ephesians 5

1 Timothy 2 1 Corinthians 14 Galatians 3:28 1 Timothy 2 1 Corinthians 14 Galatians 3:28
Mike Winger idea 2022-07-18

Mike Winger idea 2022-07-18

Pierce and Groothuis strangely ignore Ephesians 5:22-24, which explicitly links headship with submission

Mike points out that egalitarian authors skip the most relevant passage.

Ephesians 5:22-24 submission mutual submission Ronald Pierce
Mike Winger idea 2022-07-18

Pierce and Groothuis argue that Paul commands husbands to love, not to exercise authority — a false dichotomy

Mike Winger idea 2022-07-18

Ephesians 5:22-24 explicitly uses 'submit' and 'be subject to' in the context of headship
