Do Men Have Authority Over Women?
In God's hierarchy yes men have authority over women. 1 Corinthians 11:3 reads:
"But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God."

Correct!!! My brother was someone who thought his wife was on board this and for a while she was. Then she started hanging around feminists and became one….she recently moved out and filed for divorce.

God made them male and female, and ordained marriage that the two become one flesh, in order to provide the closest possible example we could see of our relationship with Jesus the Son of God.
Much love!
Amen!!
I've been reading Psalm 119 lately, it's filled with these admonitions. The Word of God cleanses our way, prevents sin, causes us to live according to that same Word.

The judges in the gates were the city's judges. You could think of them as the lower court, and Deborah as the supreme court.

The people were not following the LORD, they were doing their own things, often whatever felt right to them. God would give over time and again to evil rulers and terrible things, because they did not do what was right in the eyes of the LORD. The judges such as Deborah and all the others were a kind of deliverer, but they were not of the Prophets, did not write scripture and were of course as fallible as the rest of the people, Samson is an example of this too. It was only God being merciful that they were not all of them destroyed. Deborah was as the others, she should not have been judging outside of the city gates, but she did it as the people were not following the LORD and wanted her to judge. I am sticking with it, as we all know how evil the times were of the judges. Now the other male judges often led armies of the Israelites to destroy their oppressors, the ones the LORD had sold them to, but Deborah being a women could not do so, so she called out for Barak and it was Barak who led the troops into the battle.
AND consider, why were the people leaving the cities to go to Deborah for decisions?? God had commanded they appoint judges to sit in the city gates to judge the people of those cities. This is not the idea of a supreme court, there was no one judging in these city gates at all, which is why they went to her as she was a prophet and viewed as an authority. So the cities and the people in them were still not doing what the LORD had commanded. And Deborah, why did she not tell the people to appoint judges to judge them according the LAW of God as He had said? So not only did they not appoint judges, they did fix the problem according to the LAW.
The whole thing is like running very wild here. And that was noted by scripture too.
Judges 13:1
The Birth of Samson
Again the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord delivered them into the hand of the Philistines for forty years.
If you noticed, all kings and judges in the Old Testament were men, and Deborah was an exception. Just as all the prophets are men and again Deborah was the exception.
THE EXCEPTION IS NOT THE RULE!
All the prophets are men?
Exodus 15:20 KJV
And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.
As you've said, God does not break His Own rules, or are you saying, He does, if only occasionally?
2 Kings 22:14 KJV
So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah, went unto Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college;) and they communed with her.
Isaiah 8:3 KJV
And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bare a son. Then said the LORD to me, Call his name Mahershalalhashbaz.
Luke 2:36 KJV
And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;

John 1:18 KJV
18) No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
I don't see the connection, could you elaborate?

Consider the expression, 'the bosom of the Father'.
The creation of humans mirrored an aspect of the Godhead......like, let us make man in our image
Male and female are a single unit in that image.
We also see the angels do not have the ability to procreate.
God's declaration of a creation in their own image stands apart from other creations.
OK, I understand how you arrive at that. I don't see it myself, but I see how you do.
Much love!
