Mark David Walton has added to Scripture because of his biased opinions on gender, here are some excerpts from an article he wrote on the CBMW. However scripture points that he is wrong: Mat 22:29-30 But Jesus answered them, “You are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Please read the article, I owed like to see other´s opinions on the subject, I do think this is clear evidence that Complementarians have twisted the Bible to meet their agenda of male power. Awful! He went beyond Scripture. Way, way beyond Scripture. Here are the main thesis points of his article, quoted from it: 1. Resurrected saints will be distinguished as male and female in the new creation [i.e., in the new heavens and new earth]. 2. Given that gender identity will remain … will resurrected saints as male and female have gender-specific roles? [Walton says yes.] The paragraphs that follow will offer evidence for complementarity among resurrected saints. . . . to deny the very concept of male headship in the new creation on the false assumption that it is incompatible with creation ideals is, at best, reckless theology. 3. Although Scripture does not speak directly to the question of the effect gender will have on the lives of resurrected believers in the new creation, it does offer sufficient evidence to affirm that gender will continue to be a significant aspect of our lives in the eschaton. 4. Given then that relationships between those married on earth will in some sense remain in the new creation, it remains for us to inquire regarding the nature of those relationships. To put it more directly, will husbandly headship and wifely submission still obtain in the new creation? The egalitarian response, of course, is that all traces of headship and submission will have been removed. The evidence however, argues to the contrary. . . . Because the new creation is, fundamentally, a return to the divine order that prevailed before the fall, it follows that male headship will remain in the new creation. . . . There is every reason to believe, then, that male headship will continue as the divine order for male-female relationships. In his more brief discussion of the nature of society in the new creation, Walton leads us right up to the edge of understanding that he believes men will still be the primary possessors of authority in the new society. Walton’s last paragraph actually summarizes the essence of what is horribly wrong with his teaching: There is so much that we cannot yet know about life in the new creation. We can be confident though, that God must have some very profound eternal purpose for manhood and womanhood. There is every reason to believe that gender-based distinction of roles will remain. cryingoutforjustice/2014/03/17/eternal-patriarchy-the-council-on-biblical-manhood-womanhood-says-you-bet/
