II.Distinctions of Authority:
“even on my male servants and female servants in those days I will pour out my Spirit, and they shall prophesy.”
Acts 2:18
“On the next day we departed and came to Caesarea, and we entered the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him. He had four unmarried daughters, who prophesied.”
Acts 21:8-9
“Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.”
Genesis 1:26-27
“Then the Lord God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him."
Genesis 2:18
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.”
2 Corinthians 5:17
“For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise.”
Genesis 3:27-29
“The Bible does not present men and women as if they are interchangeable in every respect, save for the fact that only the woman has a uterus and can therefore produce babies. Rather, both men and women were made in the image of God and are of equal worth before him, but in God's good design they fit together in mutually complementary ways that go way beyond mere sexual mechanics.
The substance of this complementarianism has to be filled out by careful and reverent study of Scripture, study that is as suspicious of agenda-driven traditionalism as it is of agenda-driven egalitarianism.”
- D.A. Carsen
"Complementarians believe that males were designed to shine the spotlight on Christ’s relationship to the church (and the LORD God’s relationship to Christ) in a way that females cannot, and that females were designed to shine the spotlight on the Church’s relationship to Christ (and Christ’s relationship to the LORD God) in a way that males cannot...
Who we are as male and female is ultimately not about us. It’s about testifying to the story of Jesus. We do not get to dictate what manhood and womanhood are all about. Our Creator does. That’s the basis of complementarianism.”
- Mary Kassian
Although we may not do head coverings what are the biblical principles we do maintain?
Is the answer for women to feel truly free and with the highest purpose to be treated like a man?
Why is it better for women to embrace biblical womanhood or how does wanting manhood deprive the woman of something better in womanhood?:
Is Subordination really “less than”?
