1 Corinthians 11:3 Not "Headship" but "Unity"
1 Corinthians 11:3. About "Headship"? A Trinitarian Heresy? No and No. Paul's point here is Oneness-unity as in Genesis 2:24 and Deuteronomy 6:4. He is preparing to quote legalistic suggestions in verses 4-6 and to refute them. Verse 3 is the platform on which he stands. There is no distinction to be made among believers in Christ. That especially means no dismissing women or demeaning them with extra regulations.

Does Head mean "boss" here? No. Does Head mean "source" here? I don't see why.
The head-body metaphor points to one-ness. It illustrates unity in Christ. See Ephesians 5:31-32 and our book Beyond Eden, Ephesians 5-6.
The Tru316 Foundation (www.Tru316.com) is the home of The Eden Podcast with Bruce C. E. Fleming where we “true” the verse of Genesis 3:16. The Tru316 Message is that “God didn’t curse Eve (or Adam) or limit woman in any way.” Once Genesis 3:16 is made clear the other passages on women and men become clear too. You are encouraged to access the episodes of Seasons 1-11 of The Eden Podcast for teaching on the seven key passages on women and men. Are you a reader? We invite you to get from Amazon the four books by Bruce C. E. Fleming in The Eden Book Series (Tru316.com/trubooks). Would you like to support the work of the Tru316 Foundation?
