When a woman steps “out of line”, certain pastors /theologians are collectively quick to denounce it, even decry theological drift.

Owen, I say this charitably:
This is an appeal to ontology.
If males image/reflect Christ to a greater degree — not just different, greater — by virtue of their maleness, that’s an ontological claim.
That’s the whole ballgame. The premise of complementarianism breaks down.
Another way of saying this:
Christ is the spiritual foundation of everything and men are the anthropological foundation of all these institutions.
In Christ, men hold fast to--and are head of--one wife & family; men lead the church as elders; men must lead in public (Is. 3:12).

The no. 1 stated reason women seek an abortion is financial strain. Women face record inflation in gas, groceries, and rent.
So Sen. Warren wants to "crack down" on nonprofit pregnancy centers offering free services to vulnerable, often lower income women.
You know, for women.
With Roe gone, it’s more important than ever to crack down on so-called "crisis pregnancy centers" that mislead and deceive patients seeking abortion care. My bill with

Beginning of Judges: A woman has a name, a voice, is heard and honored.
End of Judges: A woman is nameless, voiceless, is silenced and dehumanized.

Women in Early Church had meaningful ministries, were active in Christian service, and used their spiritual gifts in biblically blessed ways.
And ALL of it harmonized with — complemented even — apostolic teaching and Christian tradition.
Historically, the two are congruent.
