@MICAH_SIXEIGHT So shouldn’t a wife live her husband as Christ lives the church

@MICAH_SIXEIGHT So shouldn’t a wife live her husband as Christ lives the church too? Shouldn’t the husband respect his wife? Paul is addressing common problems not suggesting that it’s one way only.

@MICAH_SIXEIGHT Both the husband and wife should submit to Christ and honor his word and love each other. So if they've done all that, why should either compromise that honor? Why is only the husband to submit to Christ? I'm confused because now I'm...

@MICAH_SIXEIGHT So what does headship mean with respect to the husband and wife? Maybe I'm confused on what you actually believe. What happens when the wife and husband disagree on something important

@MICAH_SIXEIGHT The slightly less modern take is that headship means rule and authority. I’m claiming that this is not what the Bible means. It certainly is not a gospel issue.

Micah 6:4 Numbers 12:1-16 Linda Belleville Two Views on Women in Ministry Miriam

Belleville's two claims about Miriam: she was 'sent to lead' Israel (Micah 6:4) and was so valued Israel wouldn't travel without her 'at the helm' (Numbers 12:1-16).

Rebutting Belleville's first claim about Miriam

Micah 6:4 Philip Payne Miriam textual stretching

Philip Payne also claims Miriam was 'sent by God to lead Israel' — Mike calls this reckless handling of the text.

Additional egalitarian scholar making the same claim
