Is Adam The Representative Head Of The Human Race

Those who believe that God created a hierarchical relationship between men and women will usually state that God created Adam as the “federal head” of the human race. This “federal headship” is said to be not only physical in that all of humanity has its origin in Adam, but spiritual because of a di

The Case Of The Battling Proof Texts Part Two

In part one, we discussed the fact that the Bible does not contradict itself so when a complementarian has a “proof text” that is used to prove that women are not allowed to teach the Bible to men, they must also deal with the apparent contradictions of this view. Here are some of the contradiction

Adam As Head Of The Family

It is common for hierarchists to say that Adam was Eve’s head not because he was her source, but because he had authority over her.
