John Piper on headship, submission and sin

[spurly]

"When sin entered the world, it ruined the harmony of marriage not because it brought headship and submission into existence, but because it twisted man's humble, loving headship into hostile domination in some men and lazy indifference in others. And it twisted woman's intelligent, willing, happy, creative, articulate submission into manipulative obsequiousness or groveling in some women and brazen insubordination in others. Sin didn't create headship and submission; it ruined them and distorted them and made them ugly and destructive."

[Nevertheless]

He has a good point!

[James Rondon]

Great quote. Because even the Scriptures, when speaking of headship, refer back to the fact that woman came out of man. Thus, headship, it seems, existed by virtue of the creation of woman itself, regardless of the subsequent Fall.
