Sorry if I've offended you. I guess I overstated my point but like I said, I was unclear as to whether we were agreeing (only using different terms) or dis-agreeing, so I went the extra mile to clarify. I honestly couldn't tell what you were getting at, tho for the record, I have no thoughts in my mind that you are unclear in your thinking about where the Family leadership and structure is at, which is why your Paul-like convoluted sentence threw me for a loop. :c)
Sorry I missed the verses, but it's a habit I have: I never go find a Bible and look up verses when people quote only the references, and I don't know a lot of verses by their refs besides the very basic ones. So if people only quote the refs I usually give it a miss. But quote 3 or 4 words out of a passage and I'll know what you're talking about.
