Not so with you. Authority becomes a burden to bear, not a right to assert. It is a sacred duty to discharge for the good of others. Excommunicating a church member is a painful last resort. A spanked child is enfolded in affection.
Employers show mercy.
But none of this is the abolition of authority structures, only their transformation as loving responsibility seeks to outrun rights and power. The transformation of authority is most thorough in marriage. This is why we prefer to speak of leadership and headship rather than authority. The Bible does not give warrant to husbands to use physical power to bring wives into submission. The husband's authority is a God-given burden to be carried in humility, not a natural right to flaunt with pride.
