I have heard about this no biblical gender stuff for many years. In fact, if Iâm not mistaken there is a bible that doesnât use gender when referring to God. Anyway, God is a spirit, but he refers to himself as Father. Father is a male term, so He wants to be thought of and referred to as a male.John 4:24 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. Revelation 2:20 âNotwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.â We even refer to the earth as âmother earthâ and yet there is no biblical concept of that. It comes from a Greek goddess. And catholics teach if you want Jesus to do something, pray to his mother. I praise God that He has shown me that I am not to love this evil world. |

The Quiet Christian wrote: I beg to differ on your first post, Jim. Most of the protesters I saw on local TV news were young white college students and, boy, were they angry! And they were primarily angry over speech. A couple of years ago, my family and I happened to be driving thru a college town in our region. I had to get out to get gas at a gas station. I was filling up our car, minding my own business, when a young woman a couple of rows over, whom me and my amily had never met or even seen before, started yelling at me and expressing her dislike for me. I figured she was mental, told her to stop her behavior or I'd call the police, quickly finished our transaction, and got us out of there. Afterward, I've guessed that she was so full of "tolerance" for white men thanks to her CRT classes that she had to express herself. Similar thing happened to me. My wife and I were walking in a parking lot and some lady walking next to us asked me who I voted for. Just out of the blue. Anyway, I said Trump and she was visibly upset. When I tried to explain to her why, she started walking very fast and started talking about Trumpâs wife and she wouldnât listen to me. That is what they referred to as Trump Derangement Syndrome. |

This is sort of out of context â sorry.But since the article used the term radical feminist; let me say this. A radical feminist is on the left side of a bookshelf and a conservative/evangelical feminist is on the right side. (the bookshelf concept is not my own) But, both are on the same bookshelf. We tend to excuse the right side and criticize or recognize the left side. In reality, the left side doesnât confuse the body of Christ, but the right side often does. Better said; the left side is a wolf and the right side is a wolf in sheepâs clothing. P.S. Amen Pilgrim. I have been blessed also by our exchanges and I have learned much from you over the years. Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. I'm sure that both of us fully adhere to the above. And when I write something that might seem to disagree with the above, you are kind enough to let me explain. |

Child of God wrote: Nothing surprises me any more; especially the acceptance and embracing of anything that is related to the devilish practices of this particular sin. I have lived almost eighty years and in the not too distant past had never seen or heard of people being so shamelessly bold and proud of themselves and their various abominations. Fellow Floridian,I have lived 74 years and it is unbelievable the things that have taken place during my lifetime. Satan is the god of this world and of course works through these types of churches. There will be no wheat in their pews and I praise the Lord for that. |

Everything you said below is true. Yes, we are Jesusâ servants or we donât belong to Him. I wonder how many times the word servant or bond slave was used in the NT. And how those terms can be misunderstood is the biggest mystery. She has no argument against what we have written, but she either ignores it or sets up strawman arguments; just like you said. She even brought up the pope again. You have often stated that is a dead religion, but she persists. She cannot be Jesusâ servant because Jesus was in fact a man. And of course the apostle Paul was a misogynist. Yes brother, I would say that most understand her real agenda, but few speak out against it. But when Jim from Lincoln says what he says, they are prompt in their criticism. They either don't recognize evangelical feminism or support it. Why else be apathetic? I deleted my former post and now have posting it again, so I can add this. I have never heard you once say that you are trusting your salvation to any work you have done or are doing. I thought everyone knew and understood this: Philippians 2:13 âFor it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.â |

John Lee wrote: Yes and amen bro. And I would say the same, as I have been for over a decade here on SA. All the preachers worth being called preachers on SA, and they are in the majority, always, and I mean always, tie together the two doctrines of Justification and Sanctification and see them as one, though separate. Justification is a work of God in the heart of sinners, making them saints by faith in Christ crucified. This is the only way of being made justified (declared righteous), because all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and justification is by faith alone in Christ alone. (cf. Reformation's Five Solas.) But justification is never alone. Always it is accompanied by sanctification, because Jesus Christ is our sanctification, as well as our wisdom, and righteousness, and redemption. If you have the Lord, you have all these four also. No sanctification, no redemption. No wisdom, no redemption. And so on. LB is a sinner rather than a saint? I believe it. The evidence is there. She proves her point. What a wonderful thought Pilgrim. I had not even pondered the sanctification thought, but it certainly explains our post salvific walk with the Lord. Praise His holy name. |

James Thomas:I can assure everyone that even though you are a man, you would not have misunderstood who LB was calling a wolf and a tare. The fact that she felt she had to clarify that is in and of itself silliness. |

Oh, and for the record, I said all those things you noted on the open forum for all to see. So, you really didnât have to stoop so low. And, let me add that during that time frame my fellow Pilgrim used to call me a slammer and other things not so flattering. Would you like me to go back through our emails and find all the flattering stuff you said about me? But, even if you said okay, I don't do that sort of thing as you know. I could never hate as much as you do. LASTLY again: I always recognized this spirit, but often simply either ignored it or sometimes supported it. I have already confessed my complacency and the Lord has forgiven me of course. And you already know I couldn't nor do I desire to stoop that low. All of our old emails were and are private. They were sent in private. James, do you realize what she just wrote to you? Do you even imagine whether or not John and I are tares? |

The spirit of Jezebel is an anti-Christ spirit that desires to control men and to direct the things of God. In essence they do the same thing that Eve did after she ate the apple and then gave it to Adam. It worked then and it is working today. They spin what they are doing and most donât recognize them. They give praise when praise is not due and criticism when criticism is not warranted. Men accept the praise, but they donât realize the praise and criticism are from the same source. Jezebels compartmentalize scripture and set their âownâ limits in the body. I always recognized this spirit, but often simply either ignored it or sometimes supported it. I have already confessed my complacency and the Lord has forgiven me of course. Someone who has the Jezebel spirit will give lip service to the below and anyone who genuinely preaches this concept will be attacked. 1 Corinthians 11:3 âBut I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.â The main characteristics of a feminist with a Jezebel spirit are they hate all men they cannot control and they will desire to lead them astray. Will they actually admit this; of course not because they donât recognize it. |

John Lee wrote: Amen brother! The calling of God is not an intellectual exercise, but being made a new creature in Christ Jesus, with a faith which works by love. I agree brother! I know there are those that believe if we consider Jesus must be both Lord and Savior, then that somehow says we are works based. There are nuances, but that is the antinomian view of Christâs atonement. The disciples were not working their way to heaven; they were simply serving their Lord and Savior. Our born again spirits will desire to serve our Lord in spirit and truth because they are born again, from above. And let me add this; everything that pertained to my salvation was from above; not from me. And they will desire to obey Him in all things. Can anyone imagine Christ saying: yes I died for your sins, but it is okay for you to continue sinning? Rhetorical question for sure. Christians in scripture are often referred to as bond slaves or as some translation say servants. This is very common in scripture. What these antinomians have done is either ignore or spin that concept out of existence. I can't imagine any Christian being confused by this, but this is just in case. |

John Lee wrote: However, to denounce me as being a wolf in sheep's clothing, along with Spurgeon, Ryle, Watson, Pink, and a whole multitude of other preachers here on SA, is a plain lie, and leaves the person saying that in a terrible position before the Lord. I would not wish for you to perish, but rather that you to come to repentance, which means, you must cease from habitually telling lies. The reason is, because a person who habitually tells lies is not heaven bound, you will not be permitted to enter, because you are not indwelt by the Jesus of the Bible. Neither do you have the imputed righteousness of Christ. You are still enslaved in sin, which is the very thing Jesus came into the world to free people from - their sins. Good morning Pilgrim, John Lee.I agree with you. If the Holy Spirit doesnât show someone that their sins separate them from God and they must desire to sin no more and receive Jesus as Lord and Savior, then I would doubt their calling. The repentance you and I have comes from the Holy Spirit and we take no credit for it. There are some men on the forum that I have been tempted to say a.k.a. Ahab, but not you. Hang in there brother. |

The way anti-racism is taught today is in fact racism. What they do basically is say that all white men are racist and the cause of racism simply because they are white men. Is that not racism; to judge someone by the color of their skin. This critical race theory will lead to socialism. And let me just add that no Christian believes in or practices racism. All are equal in Godâs eyes. |

Satan is the god of this world. Only born again believers stand apart.2 Corinthians 4:4 âIn whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.â Look at the persecution that took place shortly after Christâs death. Acts 9: 1 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest, 2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem. There is nothing new under the sun. Ecclesiastes 1:9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. This is why our Lord commanded us to not love this evil world. 1 John 2:15 âLove not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.â Our responsibility to this is: 2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. Come quickly Lord Jesus, come quickly |

Well, if they believe they have a biblical mandate to open their doors and their attendees believe they have a biblical mandate to attend, then absolutely nothing anyone does should stop them. Acts 5:29 âThen Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.â Matthew 5:10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. |

Andrew Clements wrote: The distinction of sexes by the apparel is to be kept up, for the preservation of our own and our neighbour's chastity, Deu 22:5. Nature itself teaches that a difference be made between them in their hair (1Co 11:14),and by the same rule in their clothes, which therefore ought not to be confounded, either in ordinary wear or occasionally. - Matthew Henry's Commentary This is part of God's eternal moral law and has not been abrogated in this New Testament era. Thank you, Frank. Great comment. And thank you for your additional thoughts. I read back through some of your comments and you need to comment more often. |

The Quiet Christian wrote: Critical Race Theory is worth investigating as many of those with whom we will come in contact subscribe to this tbinking. The Aquila Report has been compiling valuable blog postings describing it from a Christian perspective: https://www.theaquilareport.com/?s=Critical+Race+Theory+ Brother QC, excellent link! I read the below one and did a couple of cut and pastes from the article. The SBC is indeed compromised. The Woke Tools of the SBC: A Review of Resolution 9 on Critical Race Theory and Intersectionality According to the definition of intersectionality, where these three marks âintersectâ is the focus of her greatest and most severe discrimination which places her at the greatest risk of oppression in our culture. Although this term was birthed out of a radical feminist postmodern political culture, itâs now being used within evangelical circles to describe people who are oppressed and âheld backâ from certain advancement within evangelicalism. |

Well some might say that since the below is an OT verse, then it doesnât apply to the NT. But, scripture says that God doesnât change and neither does the below admonition. Deuteronomy 22:5 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God. Regardless of what medical procedures this young lady undergoes,she will never be able to father a child and she will never be able to participate in sports with men. IOW, she will never be a man. What an incredibly evil world we live in. |
