What I find so stunning about this thread, and other similar ones I've had the privilege to take part in, is that none of the local ground believers have attempted to answer these questions.
Is the question boring? Is it trite? Is it stupid? Is the answer so obvious that it's not worth sharing? Or is it that you can't answer because you haven't a clue?
BTW, Peter. As to being "under" someone, I've found it's better to just be under
everyone, but obedient only to the Lord. The LC has a warped view of "being under." They think it means being obedient to them. I disagree. I think it means being willing to serve and esteeming others better that yourself. I go to a Bible study and I try to be under everyone there. It's funny, but the Spirit flows uphill easier than he flows downhill.
