Feminism Has Always Been Irrational


Follow the link!

Because feminism was irrational and dedicated to destroying women, it makes perfect sense that the father of lies, the devil would take them deeper into oppression and irrational behavior.

Feminism was never about freedom for women, it was orchestrated by the devil to destroy women, the devil hates women, the best way to ruin them is to snatch them from their God given roles where they were protected and comfortable and place them in the world full of danger and abuse.

Of course there was some oppression of women in the home by abusive husbands, but for the most part in America women were content and fulfilled at home. They were doing what came natural to them.

The devil deceived women into thinking they should want the extra money, power and praise from the world. Now that they have that, their families have been destroyed, their children are rebellious and the home is not a happy place.

Now the devil is going to take one more step in the ruination of women by subjecting them to the hate and subjugation of men under Sharia Law.

Folks, it is insanity, it always has been insanity, now deeper it goes.



It Takes Training and Teaching

Parents are to train and teach while showing what justice looks like. That means we hear both sides of the story, punish the bully and comfort that offended. To "let them work it out", is negligence.

The attitude we were raised with, for parents to stay out of children's fights, were nothing less than laziness.

Children do not work things out properly, they have to be trained how to do that.

I cannot tell you the number of times I and others were bullied by an older brother, while our parents did nothing to this "golden child", making the excuse that "we were too sensitive" or "stop acting like a baby" when we cried at his meanness.

To this day that same brother is rude, mean and self absorbed, almost 70 and still acting like a six year old. When we do not instruct children to care for their siblings, teaching respect and honor, the sibling relationships are destroyed for lack of training.

Some of us tried to instruct our own children but were mocked and demeaned for "making a big deal out of nothing." Because we were not supported by other adults, the children learned the mean ways of those who refused to obey Christ.

Our culture is a mess when it comes to resolving anything. Most people make no attempt at resolving things, they simply act entitled, rude and condescending while refusing to discuss anything to come to a solution.

2 Corinthians 5:16-21 "16 Therefore from now on we recognize no one according to the flesh; even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him in this way no longer.
17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.
18 Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation,
19 namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
20 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.
21 He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him."

Christ is all about reconciliation and this cannot happen without dialogue and negotiation, each one resolving to understand the other. This takes empathy and kindness.

Resurrection Day is not Commanded by God

There is no mandate in the Word of God to celebrate the resurrection as a separate holiday, we do that every time we come together in the Lord's Supper.

God commanded the Lord's supper but never instituted any other holiday for the Christian.

The "Resurrection" day was instituted as "Easter" by the Catholic church. Believers attempted to recover from "Easter" by calling it Resurrection day, but they cannot recover because God never told us to do it anyway.

Whenever we do things our own way, they always go badly. Now we have a tradition that God never commanded, while everyone is pressured to partake in.

I left all that behind when I left the Catholic church and then I began to evaluate the traditions of the Protestants and discovered most of those were never commanded by God.

I love the Lord's supper, first because it is commanded by Christ and secondly because it is simple and peaceful in worship. God's holidays are not burdensome and chaotic as man's tend to be.

Many if not most people who celebrate the man centered holidays neglect the ones God commanded, such as the Lord's Supper.


Knowing Truth is not Enough

These days people are clamoring for knowledge but it's of no use to them because they are not wise enough to know what to do with it. Also I find that many people are satisfied with just "knowing" they don't care if they are actually "being."

God Names the Arrogant Person

Proverbs 21:24-25
"24 "Proud," "Haughty," "Scoffer," are his names, Who acts with insolent pride. 25 The desire of the sluggard puts him to death, For his hands refuse to work;…"

God names those who are insolently prideful, their names are, "Proud", "Haughty" and "Scoffer."

"Haughty" means disdainful and superior to others.

"Proud" means having a high opinion of oneself above others.

"Scoffer" means to mock others with contempt for them.

The Weightier Matters

Does anyone grow weary of those who are so legalistic they are willing to distract others from truth to focus them on the minor things, such as which day to worship. The Judaizers were chastised by Christ for this nonsense. They were more concerned about not working on a certain day than they were on holiness of the inner man.

Romans 14:4-6 "…4 Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand. 5 One man regards a certain day above the others, while someone else considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. 6 He who observes a special day does so to the Lord; he who eats does so to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God."

Isn't this just the way of it, in order to distract from the real message, someone comes to attack "the day" someone is preaching. It is an unnecessary distraction from the real message.

When the legalists have distracted others with their own rules not commanded in the Word, so as to major on the unimportant while ignoring the weightier matters, they cause division.

Matthew 23:22-24 "…22 And he who swears by heaven swears by God’s throne and by the One who sits on it. 23 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You pay tithes of mint, dill, and cumin, but you have disregarded the weightier matters of the Law: justice, mercy, and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. 24 You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.…"

There is a Place of No Return

There is that one moment, the last one we experience that invites us to walk away and be finished with that which we realize we cannot fix. Once we reach that point, moving on becomes easy and even complete.
