The Bible records a law that requires men to take the place of sole master in the home. We find this law in the book of Esther chapter 1 verse 22.

In our continuing discussion of 1 Corinthians 14:34-36, we come to the problematic area of learning.
1 Corinthians 14:35 And if they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home…
What can we pull out regarding “learning” in this verse? We can see that if a woman has a desire to learn, she [...]

In my last post I pointed to USA Today’s editorial that challenged complementarians who are willing to accept a woman as the Vice President of the country, that they should admit that they are full fledged egalitarians in the realm of society, the workplace and public life.
