by Larry Solomon of Biblical Gender Roles β Feminism: The Return of Sin to Eden
Editorβs note: Larryβs still whining that women should not have equal rights with men because Bible, and still showing how little he knows of historical context and culture. As usual weβre not linking directly to Larry because he rejoices over his hit numbers and we have no desire to ever inflate his enormous ego.
Men for all of human history up until the mid-19th century followed Godβs command for them to rule over women. Sometimes they did so in harsh and imperfect ways, but for the most part they did not fail to exercise this mandate. Men were fully cognizant of a womanβs sinful desire for equality with man as she sinfully desired equality with God in Eden. Men, for the most part, were cognizant of a womanβs sinful desire to control man and men kept women in their place even when they sought to rebel.
But around the mid-19th century an equality cult was born. It was this equality cult, or egalitarianism as it is now called, which gave rise to the birth of feminism. Β The equality movement taught that if one person did not have the same rights and privileges as another then this was treating that person in an inhumane and unjust manner. Β Feminism seized on this principle applying it specifically to women calling the inequality of women to men an injustice.Β The Bible was even twisted and mangled to support this false notion of injustice
This movement cast aside the patriarchal family structure that had served mankind since creation itself. This feminist movement eventually infected the Church and attacked the very foundations of Godβs design of the genders and of his divine institution of marriage.
The result of the equality cult and his spawn of feminism has been the downfall marriage and the family over the last century.Β Godβs institution of marriage is routinely mocked by couples engaging in casual sex. Divorce is rampant and couples living sin together is the norm. Children having two moms and dads is now the way of life.
But as Christian Churches and as Christian men and women we can return to God and his will and design for our genders if we so choose and he will heal our land if we do so.
