This article from 2001 is as relevant as ever, especially as our nation rejects Biblical values and completely turns into a gas station toilet.

I would also add that the Bible is hopelessly Jewish and hopelessly "heteronormative" as well.

God is our Father and the church is our Mother, telling Him to go easy on us (his children) and to remember that He was young once too and had His foibles.

You wanna see the results of matriarchy? Go take a drive up and down your nearest Martin Luther King Boulevard.

Then tell me about “hopeless.”

Looks like a good read, RF - thanks for posting it!

Some might be surprised to hear that Jesus was jewish. ;)

It does not seem to have occurred to these clever folk that to be consistent, they should, among other things, ask the church to promote the end of marriage altogether in this world, not to mention sex!

As a number of heresies have, beginning (we can deduce from St. Paul's letters) even during the lives of the apostles. They always think they're being original, but it's the same-old same-old from the first and second centuries.

Luke’s telling of Mary’s story in luke chapter one is the most devastating critique of the patriarchy ever composed. It continues to knock patriarchal power from it’s thrones.

Humans are so pathetically parochial. As if God is really concerned about silly human constructs like "patriarchy". The effort wasted by tiny intellects attempting to grasp the thoughts of God would be so much more valuable if they just did the simple things God told them to do through the words of His Son. Love God. Love all of his creation. Obey his commandments. Do good works. Repent for our shortcomings including the strong pull of humans toward pretentiousness.

Parsing of words is futile.

Feminists, she insists, must leave Christ and the Bible behind them.

Modern day feminists have pretty much accomplished that with their heavy emphassis on killing babies.

For years I have had to deal with the issue of radical feminism. Feminism is one aspect of liberation theology in which everything is viewed in terms of oppression and victimization. Salvation is not fellowship with the Father and the Son, but secular liberation from whatever you think oppresses, such as patriarchy. It is a complete distortion of Christianity, which of course, means a rejection of Scriptures. The spirit of feminism is not the Holy Spirit, it is the spirit of the age.
Of course, if men took their God-given responsibilities seriously, feminism would not be as disruptive as it is.

Here's a pretty good prayer song
