@FNANVG @LionofJudah444 @oliverburdick What is so wrong with a mutually submissive relationship? It works just fine. In fact, it seems most of the complementarians practice it even though they claim t

@FNANVG @LionofJudah444 @oliverburdick This was never about hierarchy, but about service. It’s about serving another’s needs above your own desires. And Christ absolutely does this for His church and

@biblemarriages @yallbenonsense @MikeWingerii That is correct. So the husband is missing this grace of his wife’s wisdom that could be his. This is not about authority but about grace.
