Where is the debate? Who will be the first to put into their own words whatever is the point of the article and defend it or take exception to it?
The article speaks for it self. Clearly articulated truth, directly from Gods scriptures.
When will the evangelical church EVER stop "drinking the Koolaide" regarding this issue and get with the program regarding the scriptural truth?
This is one of the best things I've ever read on the subject. It's Biblically-based in the original meanings, and thus irrefutable.
Conclusion:
The choice before us is straight-forward and urgent: are we going to order our lives as the people of God under the dispensation of the curse where male domination and female subordination is the rule, or are we going to risk living in the freedom of the grace in which there is “neither male nor female, but you are all one in Christ Jesus?” (Gal. 3:28). Are we going to live under the oppressive bondage of the law in which gifted, God-called and Spirit-filled women are forbidden to exercise their vocation simply because of the accident of their gender—to the great loss of God’s kingdom and our Church, or are we going to dare to live in the liberty of the Spirit where both men and women may hear and respond to the call of God to preach, and where both men and women may exercise their spiritual gifts within the body of Christ for the edification of all and the evangelization of the world?

The following is a small excerpt from a very VERY lengthy artical from Christianity Today magazine. At the bottom is a link to the entirety of the artical.
Far from it and it's been easily refuted by many. I posted some links.
How has it been easily refuted? All I saw in your links was the usual argument by the usual suspects. The only thing they did was explain their position. They didn't refute anything Bilezikian said.
You claim that the Greek word for "head" means "source without the idea of authority." Will you please show me one example in all of ancient Greek where this word (kephal¯e) is used to refer to a person and means what you claim, namely, "non-authoritative source"?
