1 Cor 11:3 I want you to know that every head of every man
is Christ; the head of the woman is her husband, and the head
of Christ is the Father
1 Cor 11:8-9 Man was not made from woman, but womanfrom man; neither was man created for woman, but woman
for man
1 Cor 11:11-12 Yet, in the Lord, woman is not independent
from man, nor man independent of woman. In the same way
that woman was made from man so man is born of woman
OBEDIENCE TO THE CHURCH = SUBMISSION TO THE HUSBAND

can be absolutely equal in status- as human
beings- while one person plays a role of
subordination to the other. In the Scriptures,
status and subordination are 2 separateissues.
