Thanks for that, btw. I've been involved with the Church of Christ (Cambellites) here locally. They take these verses in Timothy very seriously. So I emailed the link to them. One of them is a outspoken CoC female, the other is a CoC preacher for over 50 years. Our discussions should be lively.

So seeking1, so far I don't know you from Adam's cat. But from your post I gather some things about your position on the egalitarian/complementarian question.

I gather that, you don't seem to be too fond of egalitarianism. Cuz to you it doesn't strike you as true to Timothy.

Also, I gather that you're not fond of exegesis of scripture. Like taking a look at the Greek text, context, and so forth and so on.

It also stands out that LGBTQ is anathema to you. I doubt that you'll ever be egalitarian with them.

And you seem too to be concerned about being egalitarian with race, Judaism, and Islam.

Please correct me if I'm wrong about any of this. But if I'm not, tell me please, just who are you egalitarian with?
