I loved this point: “Equal authority means there is no actual authority.” I’ve only ever observed the egalitarianism vs complementarianism debate infrequently, from the far off fringes, but I’ve never seen this issue brought up, at least not in this way. It’s usually centered around the dignity or worth of the woman and the legitimacy and Biblical proof for either side. I’ve not seen anyone get into the gritty details and consequences, so this is refreshing in a way, to see something new in the argument, as well as some concrete evidence, rather than the vague concepts I normally see discussed.
Thank you for this comment. I feel like I’ve been building foundations where others have castles. The foundation is necessary but I’m a bit antsy so I’m glad you found something that you haven’t noticed in other places.
