JESUS GOD IS THE ONLY WAY!!!Complementarianism is the traditional theological position which evidences from the [[Bible]] that [[God]] created [[male]] and [[female]] uniquely compatible and complementary, and which opposite genders alone can be joined in marriage. (Gen. 2:18-24) In addition, they understand that while both genders were made by God in His image and likeness, (Gen. 1:26-27) and their complementary nature manifests interdependence, yet in so doing God has established the man as the head of the women. This hierarchical order is patterned after the relationship between the Father and Son, which is explicitly declared in 1 Corinthians 11:3: {{Cquote|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.}}
Throughout the Bible the headship of the man is understood as being clearly upheld as ordained by God, and consistent with this, women are also not allowed to normally possess a position of authority over men, as per 1 Timothy 2:11-12. However, that women can be greatly used in ministry is affirmed, and also that husbands are commanded,
{{Cquote|love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it (Eph 5:25)}}
Modern Complementarianism sometimes emphasizes more the great viability of female ministry than historical expressions of the doctrine of male headship.
In contrast to Complementarianism is the more modern position termed "Christian" [[Egalitarianism]], which, among other things, seeks to use the essential spiritual equality which all believers enjoy (Gal. 3:28) to negate positional/functional distinctions between men and women. While some egalitarians profess to hold the Bible as the wholly inspired word of God, they tend to rely on a much less literal approach in interpreting key verses. Primary arguments typically used by egalitarianism are also used by many pro[[homosexual]] polemicists in regards to [[homosexuality and biblical interpretation]],<ref>http://peacebyjesus.witnesstoday.org/Homosex_versus_the_Bible.html#Corinthians</ref> though more conservative egalitarians distance reject homosexuality.<ref>[[homosexuality]].
