Please give me an example of "authority as men".
Please explain how a woman can be head of a household, and not "have authority “over” their spouse".
Please explain gender equality, and show how these verses -
Genesis 2:18; Luke 8:1-3; Acts 1:14; 2:17, 18; 18:26; Acts 4:32, 34, 35; Acts 10:34, 35; Acts 17:26 - do not support gender equality, and are not in harmony with the following declarations :-
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” -
Declaration of Independence, adopted by the United States in 1776.
“All men are born free and equal in rights.” -
Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, adopted by France’s National Assembly in 1789.
“All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.” -
Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948.
The Bible even addresses national equality - something that will never be accomplished, with the efforts of man.
You must be insinuating that I am not familiar with the Bible, although I mentioned many scriptures that deny your claim.
Anyone can pick out a few scriptures, and claim it supports their view, They can also misunderstand, or misinterpret those texts. So being familiar with the Bible, I acknowledge that you have done exactly that - pick out scriptures which you think supports your view, and ignore the ones that deny your view. That's unreasonable.
Here is a typical example, right here.

BTW, do you know if the hammer was made of Gold, Silver, or Bronze, and if he put the sky through a furnace?
Chaka Khan had a hit song. It went... "I feel for you....
Feel free to keep nitpicking - Pick whatever word, or verse you like, and proclaim you are right.
"Everything
known to have happened ..." is quite different from "Everything
that has happened..."
When you know everything, give me a call.
