Ephesians 5:22-25 " Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; "

It is God who joins a man and woman together in matrimony - not a little piece of paper issued by the state (Ephesians 5:31) (Mark 10:1-12) (Genesis 2:24).

 

 

Ephesians 5:31 " For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. "

 

Mark 10:7-9 " For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. "

 

Genesis 2:24 " Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. "

 

People who live common-law are just deceiving themselves into believing they are not married. Couples who are living together and, or are engaging in sexual relations regularly are considered married in God's eyes. Naturally, casual sexual encounters are not considered marriages in God's eyes, as is incest and homosexuality and other sinful sexual relationships (Romans 1:25-29) (1Corinthians 6:9-10).

 

Romans 1:25-29 " Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, "

 

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 " Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. "

 

God is not going to change His laws to please people. The wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23). Human beings, who remain unrepentant until the end, will be put to death forever (Luke 13:1-5) (Malachi 4:1-3) (Revelation 20:14-15). God will not forgive anyone, if they are not sorry for their sins.

 

Romans 6:23 " For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. "

 

Luke 13:1-5 " There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. "

 

Malachi 4:1-3 " For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts. "

 

Revelation 20:14-15 " And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. "

 

If women remain unrepentant of the sin of not respecting their husbands, then this sin could very easily lead to that individual not attaining salvation. Similarly, if a man fails to repent of the sin of not loving his wife - then he could very easily face the same situation.

 

 

God also commands us to love each other( Matthew 22:39). Radical feminism has been responsible for spreading hatred against men, and encouraging women to sin by hating men. Matthew 22:39 " And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. "

 

 

However, what has happened is that the whole feminist movement has been politicized. A small group of female feminist leaders are forcing their will over the majority of women, and illegitimately claiming they speak for all women. This small group of women is supported by the governments in Canada, because almost all governments in Canada support feminist ideology.

 

It is a sin for women not to respect their husbands authority in the home (Ephesians 5:22-25). However, God has given people free moral agency, and will not force any woman to love and respect her husband. These are spiritual matters. However, there are serious spiritual consequences to rebellion against God's laws - each person must answer to Christ, who is our Judge.

 

Also this matter of a wife respecting her husband - does in no way include other men. Other men, like an Uncle, Grandfather, Father, Neighbour or Boss - have no legitimate right to act like a husband towards you and expect you to defer to them. Sure, if your boss at work is a man then you need to respect your bosses authority to direct the workforce, but that does not give them any right to exercise illegitimate authority over you. You do not need to respect illegitimate authority from anyone.

 

A lot of men are out to dominate women, and will illegitimately seek to form some kind of dominant relationship over female associates, or relatives. You as a wife are only obligated to respect your husbands authority - other men have no right to form some kind of domineering personal relationship over you, and have no right to exercise illegitimate authority over you. And anyways even your husband is supposed to serve and love you and your children.

The Essence of Feminism

 

The essence of feminism is that it does not recognize the husband's, or father's authority in the family. Feminist ideology is therefore in conspiracy against fatherhood.

 

Canada is a female dominated society. Women rule the roost. Most of the men have passively abdicated their God given authority in the home and family - to the women.

 

The feminist movement has been politicized and taken over by a small group. These women illegitimately claim to speak for all women. A small group of radical feminists want to control and gain power over other women. The majority of women simply go along with the feminist leaders, because they are too weak to resist. As well the feminist view of femininity has been adopted in Canada in the main.

 

 

(Feminism is a huge subject. There are all kinds of different interpretations of feminism. I have briefly given you the essence of the ideology.)

 

 

Have wanted to do an article on feminism for quite awhile, but don't know where to begin. It appears to be such a vast and confusing subject. But is it really ?

 

 

There seems to be just about as many definitions of what a feminist is as there are feminists. I am really bewildered as to all the different and clashing definitions. It seems that people can just create their own version of feminism to suit their fancy, or perhaps ambitions and politics of the moment.

 

 

There doesn't seem to be any clear definition of feminism that everyone agrees to.

 

 

There are different branches of feminist theory and thought that are supposedly recognized by feminist scholars. However, what exactly is a feminist scholar ? And what is the criteria for promoting someone to the " esteemed " position of feminist scholar, and who does the promoting ? Interesting questions, eh? My answer is that we are dealing with politics here.

 

 

 

Feminism Defined - By the So-Called Experts

 

There are different theories of feminism widely acknowledged and taught in women's studies courses, gender studies courses, etc.

 

Feminism is theory that men and women should be equal politically, economically and socially. This apparently is the core of all feminism theories. So according to some supposed experts a feminist is defined as someone who believes in the theory of feminism that has been just mentioned.

 

However, to me a true feminist is someone who does not recognize that the husband and father have any God given authority in the home and family. That is my interpretation of the essence of feminism. This feminist idea is basically in conspiracy against fatherhood.

 

There are arguments and clashes within the feminist movement as how the theory is to manifest, or express itself, and why people believe in it. There seems to be little unanimity among feminists.

 

However, there is definitely one constant here, and it is that feminist ideology absolutely rejects the biblical concept that God has made the husband the head of the wife. Feminism ideology cannot accept that idea, and therefore rejects the Biblical principles governing the family.

 

Otherwise the idea seems infinitely flexible, and subject to the whims and changing tastes of its adherents. It is something like a religion that you can make up as you go along. If it is inconvenient for you today, then you just change it. Tomorrow you can change it again.

 

Let me now give you some of the more common feminist branches, or streams of feminism that the so-called experts appear to say are out there.

 

Amazon Feminism Amazon feminists tend to view that all women are as physically capable as men. They believe there are no certain characteristics or interests that are inherently masculine, of feminine.

 

Cultural Feminism says there are fundamental personality differences between men and women, and that women's differences are special and should be celebrated, and there are biological differences between the sexes. Like " women are kinder and more gentle then men," and so the twist goes that if women ran the world there wouldn't be any wars.

 

Eco-feminism theory rests on the view that patriarchal philosophies harm women, children, and other life forms. Comparisons are made between society's treatment of the environment, animals, or resources and its treatment of women. In resisting patriarchal culture, eco-feminists believe they are also resisting plundering and destroying of the Earth. They feel patriarchal philosophy emphasizes the need to dominate and control females and wilderness.

 

Eco-feminism says that patriarchal society is relatively new, having developed over the past 5,000 years or so, and that matriarchal society was first. In matriarchal society, women were the center of society and people worshipped Goddesses - a sort of Feminist Eden.

 

Feminazi apparently made popular by Radio/TV host Rush Limbaugh. A feminazi is defined by anti-feminists as a feminist trying to make as many abortions as possible.

 

Libertarian Feminism is based on individualism or libertarian philosophies. The main focus is individual autonomy, rights, liberty, independence and diversity. They tend to reject excessive government and economic control by bloated capitalism. Individualist feminism tends to broadly include men and focuses on barriers that men and women face due to their gender.

 

Material Feminism was a movement in the late 19th century to liberate women by improving their material condition. It focused on taking the burden off women in regards to housework, cooking, and other traditional female domestic jobs.

 

Moderate Feminism tends to consist mainly of younger women who have not directly experienced discrimination. They often question the need for further effort, thinking that feminism is no longer viable. They often view feminism as embarrassing. It's thought this group is most likely to adhere to feminist ideas and thoughts while denying being feminist.

 

 

National Organization for Women (N.O.W.) or Gender Feminism

 

The National Organization of Women (N.O.W.) is a United States feminist organization. Canada has its own version in the National Action Committee for the Status of Women. There are separate feminist organizations in other countries all around the world. However, it is important to understand that feminist ideology began in the USA, and therefore the ideology is principally run and controlled from its centre the USA. Other feminist organizations tend to look to the American organizations for leadership, or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that the USA feminist movement is domineering and just dominates the others.

 

N.O.W. is based on the idea that for men and women to be equal, women must be granted special privileges, and men should not be an issue in feminism.

 

Like publicly supporting women who want to enter traditional all-male schools. N.O.W. will take strong and loud stands to support this, but are silent regarding men being able to enter traditional all-female schools. Another example is N.O.W. supporting women publicly who are victims of sexual harassment, yet offering no public support for men who are victims of sexual harassment. In both cases, N.O.W. feminism includes only women and fights to offer special privileges to women with the intent of making women equal to men.

 

Pop-Feminism is the negative man hating ideology. The type of feminism that degrades men in all ways and glorifies women.

 

Radical Feminism is the spawning ground for many ideas arising from feminism. Radical feminism was the cutting edge of feminist theory from around 1967-1975 it is said, but there are others who will say that the radical feminists are still basically driving the feminist bus. Some will say that radical feminism is no longer as universally accepted as it was, and no longer serves to solely define the term, "feminism," but once again this is not a universal opinion.

 

This group views the oppression of women as the most fundamental form of oppression, one that cuts across boundaries of race, culture, and economic class. This is a movement intent on social change, change of revolutionary proportions.

 

Radical feminism questions why women must adopt certain roles based on their biology, just as it questions why men adopt certain other roles based on theirs. Radical feminism attempts to draw lines between biologically-determined behaviour and culturally-determined behaviour in order to free both men and women as much as possible from their previous narrow gender roles.

 

Read some comments of some representatives of this group of feminists by going to Radical towards the end of this article - towards the bottom of this page.

 

 

Separatists Feminists advocating separation from men - perhaps total or at times partial. Women who organize women-only events are often labelled as separatist.

 

 

The idea is that separating from men enables women to see themselves in a different context. Many feminists, whether or not separatist, think this is a necessary first step, for personal growth. However, they may not necessarily endorse permanent separation.

 

 

All lesbians are separatists. They do not interact with men for sex, but they do not automatically shun all interaction with men.

 

There may be other branches of the femis-tree sprouting out as we speak. It would not surprise me if there is a special male feminist organization as well. The ideology appears to be infinitely capable of mutations. What kind of new feminist mutant that will emerge from the feminist and war of the sexes soup is anyone's guess. However, rest assured the ideology is fundamentally opposed to the biblical principles governing the family as explained in the New Testament. Rest assured that the ideology is in conspiracy against fatherhood, since it will not recognize that any husband or father has any God given authority in the home.

 

 

The Critical Wrong Turn in the Woman's Movement

 

Maybe you have had this experience. The writer has. You are out on a trail deep in the forest. You have gone a long ways, and the day is fading. It is time to head on back home. You retrace your steps, and you come to a fork in the trail. One path goes this way, and the other goes a different way. You quickly and confidently make a decision to follow what appears to you a familiar trail. You tramp along on that trail for quite awhile, but a strange feeling comes over you. You were not on this path before. Things look unfamiliar. You went the wrong way. So you head on back the way you came. You return to the critical junction in the path, where you had made the wrong decision. You then go back on the correct way and eventually get home, maybe after darkness has set in.

 

The women's liberation movement was on the right path at one time.

 

The correct path is the road of social justice for women, the trail of equal pay for equal work, the difficult trail of protecting women from exploitation and from sexual abuse, the way of protecting and sheltering women from spousal abuse and domestic violence, the path of helping single and widowed mothers and their children, the path of getting women the vote and breaking down stereotypical barriers to employment, the tough road of breaking down entrenched societal barriers that depicted women as inferior and second class citizens, whose only place was in the home - subject to her husband, pregnant and barefoot.

 

It was a good trail, a truly glorious hard road to struggle through. A lot of men like this writer were on that trail with the women, supporting and encouraging them.

 

However, there was that critical fork in the road. A small band of deluded, power hungry, radical feminists took the wrong turn, and being weak many, many of the other women just went along with them and followed their lead. I refused to go along that path, because I realized it was the wrong way.

 

That path has led to male bashing, and anti-male propaganda (go to article called Radical) It is a trail that has led to the quicksand of lesbianism, and homosexuality. It is a deadly path that has forced the followers of the radical feminists to endure the blood and gore of abortions on demand - the killing of their children.

 

It is the dangerous path of deciding to make war against men and fatherhood and in the process seriously weaken the institution of traditional marriage - thus depriving too many women of the needed support system of a family and husband. This dangerous road has exposed many women to the perils of irresponsible male predators, who sexually exploit women's so-called freedoms, but who have no intentions on making any commitments. Lov'em and leav'em is the motto of too many male creeps, bums and predators. Too many women who followed the present wrong headed feminist trail, are left exposed and helpless to these bums and creeps. It is a path where decent man, who could help, support and protect the women, have been scared off and chased away, thus exposing many women to every sort of trashy bum the gutter vomits up.

 

This wrong trail has lead to pay equity, hiring equity, privileges instead of rights for women, special status for women, increased segregation of the sexes, and governments bending over backwards to cater to practically every whim of the feminist lobby.

 

This wrong path has lead to a climate of suspicion and distrust among the sexes. It has led the feminist crusaders to the dangerous poisoned waters of damaged male-female relations.

 

It is the wrong trail these people are on, but they do not realize or do not care. They do not suddenly realize this is wrong. No they just push ahead confident that they are on the right track, if only they could change the whole society to just go along with them. This they are trying to do. They want us all to follow their path of destruction, they in their power hungry arrogance have chosen.

 

No way I'm going that way. It is too dangerous and it won't take you home. Those who go that way will become hopelessly lost.

 

So the suggestion to the women's movement is for them to return to the correct path. Go on back to that critical fork in the trail where you made the wrong turn. Swallow your pride. We all get turned around a bit sometime. Go on back to the right track, and it will lead you home.

 

 

 

Too Many Male Gutless Wonders

 

If only there were more courageous men, who stood up for what is right, and who refused to follow the feminist herd to their destruction.

 

 

God has given the men authority in the home and family, if they are a husband and father. Not just authority, but responsibility too. Nobody has the right to deny you your God given rights and responsibilities. These are inalienable rights and responsibilities given to you by God. No human government has the legitimate authority to deny you these things.

 

Your responsibility is to love your wife, be the head of the family, and expect the children to honour and respect their parents. You do not have any authority from God to abuse your wife and children. You do not have any right to dominate wife and children. You do have the right and responsibility to serve your family. You are supposed to be the leader, and you are supposed to serve your family. So get on with it man.

 

So the little woman doesn't think that is the way things are done. Don't worry. Be patient. Remain committed to her and your family. Stick to your guns, and just keep doing what you know is right. Women follow their men usually.

 

The real problem regarding this whole feminist quagmire is that there are too many male gutless wonders here in Canada, who just let the little woman lead them around by the nose. They don't know what it means to be a real man, and have never known their Creator. A real man should be a moral and spiritual leader in the home. They shouldn't be out goggling at strippers in a bar, or simply pursuing their own selfish interests. A real man doesn't just make kids and then abandon them.

 

Who will care for the children ? There are too many children growing up without the influence of a father. So why are there so many male weaklings letting the courts, and radical feminists deny them access to their own kids ? Why don't they fight for their rights as a parent ? Or are they too gutless to even give a damn about their own flesh and blood ?

 

It is time decent men stood up and condemned this plague of male creeps and bums, who infest our society and who prey on women. Little wonder so many woman have such terrible attitudes about men.

 

This subject is broad and deep, but enough for now.

 

 

 

Here are some commends of radical feminists taken from the internet. To the best of the writer's knowledge the quotes are indeed from the persons listed. However, I cannot be 100 % sure of this, so if the quotes are indeed not from the person mentioned then by all means correct me, and I will change this. For now we shall leave it as it is.

 

“What then, do you think of marriage and husbands in general?”

 

“Marriage is a prison no true feminist would ever let herself be caught in. A husband? Well..., a husband is a rapist that buys you flowers.”

 

" Women are the only oppressed group in our society that lives in intimate association with their oppressors. " Evelyn Cunningham

 

" Most women are one man away from welfare. " Gloria Steinem

 

" During the feminist revolution, the battle lines were again simple. It was easy to tell the enemy, he was the one with the penis. This is no longer strictly true. Some men are okay now. We're allowed to like them again. We still have to keep them in line, of course, but we no longer have to shoot them on sight. " Cynthia Heimel, Sex Tips for Girls, 1983

 

" I believe that women have a capacity for understanding and compassion which a man structurally does not have, does not have it because he cannot have it. He's just incapable of it." -- Former Congresswoman Barbara Jordan

 

"I feel that ' man-hating ' is an honourable and viable political act, that the oppressed have a right to class-hatred against the class that is oppressing them." -- Robin Morgan, MS. Magazine Editor

 

 

" Heterosexual intercourse is the pure, formalized expression of contempt for women's bodies." -- Andrea Dworkin

 

"When a woman reaches orgasm with a man she is only collaborating with the patriarchal system, eroticising her own oppression..." -- Sheila Jeffrys

 

"Since marriage constitutes slavery for women, it is clear that the women's movement must concentrate on attacking this institution. Freedom for women cannot be won without the abolition of marriage." (radical feminist leader Sheila Cronan).

 

 

" All of history must be rewritten in terms of the oppression of women. We must go back to ancient female religions (like witchcraft) ... Marriage has existed for the benefit of men and has been a legally sanctioned method of control over women ... The end of the institution of marriage is a necessary condition for the liberation of women. Therefore, it is important for us to encourage women to leave their husbands, and not to live individually with men ... Now we know it is the institution that has failed us and we must work to destroy it ... With the destruction of nuclear family must come a new way of looking at children. They must be seen as the responsibility of an entire society rather than individual parents .... "
