@Pogre @Rattle_Resists @michael_ronning It’s only clear if you assume head means authority or rule. So why doesn’t the Bible just say that plainly then? Why don’t we have a single instance of the scri

@Christi34606551 @ellechle9 @harmonizedgrace The bible is clear about headship,

@IemSparticus @harmonizedgrace Egalitarians argue against male headship b/c ‘headship’ = ruler/authority today, but Paul doesn’t use it that way for church or M/F rels. I cited 1Co 7:4 as the only positive mention of authority in M/F rels, besides 1...

@IemSparticus @harmonizedgrace Who said male headship stems from the fall? Head doesn’t automatically mean ruler or the one in authority in scripture. If that’s what was meant, what’s wrong with using the word authority? The only time authority is us...

@Matthew56193629 @BretArrigo @sher_qw @mtnhousewife Uh… but it says every man (andros, singular) in the context of a passage that mentions a woman (gynaikos, singular). Why doesn’t Paul say people (anthropos) or believers if he means that Christ is ...

@PatrickHen1776 @harmonizedgrace 1Ti 2-13-14 only specifies the time sequence order of creation and that this is related to why Adam wasn’t deceived but Eve was. I help my wife all the time. God also helps me. What’s your point? Head doesn’t mean b...

@Antifaucist722 @Tailfeathers_WA @dalepartridge The husband is the head of his wife because Adam and Eve are the definition of marriage and Eve was made directly from Adam's flesh and bone. Your wife was not made from you, was she? So you being 'head...

@RealDavidReece “But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God” (1Co 11:3). Head is an anatomical term, not a synonym for authority. If it meant authority, why doesn’t Scri...

@King_Brody @pastherandie Brody, are you assuming ‘head’ (literally the top of the body—it’s not a complex word) means authority or commander? Where does this idea come from? Is it context? Why isn’t ‘authority’ or ‘commander’ ever used for Jesus ove...
