6. Women are not always right
Elise the Feminist failed to verify her opinions of Sam, and refused to give Sam a chance to defend himself. When Elise told her gal friends about “Playboy Sam”, they believed her out of trust, her perceived credibility and the mantras of “We Trust Women More Than Men” and “The Majority Consensus among Women Must Be Right”.
The latest church tabloids printed the headline “Sam is a playboy”, the friends of Elise distributed the hot papers on every doorstep, and the masses dig into them on cold winter days. Then some readers form their own emotional opinions that “We should shun Sam altogether”.
Behind all these emotion opinions, prejudice, stereotypes, “The Blame Game”, there is one main driving force for the Christian Feminist. Like the Modern Feminist, she believes she is always right.
Even when Sam started dating a Christian lady for real, with a view to a long term relationship, he was (again) not spared. Sam broke up with the official girlfriend after a few months. Then the ugliest face of stereotypes showed up among Sam’s detractors – the feminists pushed all the blame squarely on him, simply because
· “I believe what my fellow females say about Sam.”
· “His girlfriend cried over it. She must be the innocent party.”
· “Women are always right.”
The Christian Feminists were victorious over Sam. These whisperers made the loudest noise and caused discord among brothers and sisters over Sam and his ex-girlfriend. The saddest thing out of the whole saga was Sam’s imminent departure from his church. Or else, he would need a new cabinet to house The Scapegoat of the Year trophies and medals for the next five decades.
After all those ostracizing by people in church, the last straw for Sam came when a male senior figure in church, influenced by the prejudiced and stereotyped image of Sam, told Sam, “Do not be a stumbling block to other Christians’ growth”.
Poor Sam could only watch all these confusing acts and wonder “Where is the love?” Snide remarks, Discriminating eyes. So much hatred emits from the pores of the feminists’ skins that no beauty products can cover and conceal. Name it. He has seen it all. His father, a church leader, can only say, “Son, you may want to visit other churches.”
Sam may not be the most perfect man, but so are we; none of us are perfect and without sin. None, according to Jesus (John 8:2-11). Yet, the Christian Feminists decided they can fulfill Proverbs 11:9 negatively in their devastation of Sam’s image.
They stone Sam with rocks made of gossips and slanders, with prejudice and stereotypes at the cores of the rocks. The more elusive ones played a slower game of archery. Bulls’ eye. A number of them achieved perfect scores with The Scapegoat Arrows in The Blame Game of Archery.
Sam’s life is a classic case of how people in the church destroy each other by verbal attacks (Galatians 5:15). And we wonder why Christian Feminists, who believe their lofty status as the judge of all mankind, fail to see by taking sides, creating factions with false truths, creating discord, are defined as “works of the flesh” (Galatians 5:19-21). In other words, these acts are sinful to God!
Needless to say, the Christian Feminists who destroy humans like Sam and wallow in sin, have no right to proclaim “Women are always right”. Nobody can claim that.
Even if women form the majority of a church’s population, women are still not always right.
God does not change his will based on the majority’s point of view
Statistically, churches often have more females than males. Females may form the majority of Christians, and demand democracy, and for women to have a bigger say in all things. Hence, in disputes, the female refuses to back down and the minority men are to follow, regardless of whether the females are right or not.
For the men, going against the wishes of the female is tantamount to rebellion against a tribe, a nation and the entire earthly population of females - and some say, the Stature of Liberty. In true Animal Farm and its “more equal” fashion, the Modern Feminist decides that peace is meant to be agreeing with what women want.
But godly wives have little reason to adhere to the “Majority Wins” culture. For all the high-brow and seemingly grandiose rhetoric on how feminism is the future of the Church, feminist forgot one thing – Democracy does not belong to the Bible. It is more important to be theocratic, considering God’s will above all men and of course, women as well.
God doesn’t operate by democracy or the majority vote. Think of those emotionally-charged and critical situations in biblical history. After the Israelites deified a Golden Calf near Mount Sinai (Exodus 32-33), did God start a round of voting to decide if worshipping a golden calf is right? Did God send a third-party with no allegiance to God or the Israelites to announce the verdict on a podium via national TV?
No. God decides the commandments for men and women.
Godly Wifes: Feminism is not the answer to life; God is
Godly wives, the Bible is clear on Feminism. For all the problems females face, turning to feminism is the wrong path to a solution. God alone decides what is right and wrong. Godly wives, and Christian women have to look to God for deliverance and guidance.
There is no Eleventh Commandment that states “Women are always right”. Women are not always right; that doesn’t mean men are always right. God alone, not men or women, is always right (Deuteronomy 32:4)!
Women, as well as men, are never the Lord of mankind. Only our Heavenly Father can claim the role as Lord over the lives of mankind (Isaiah 46:9).
Feminism isn’t the answer for the problems faced by godly wives and the godly females they should be guiding. Christ is. All we need in Christ are “wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption” (1 Cor 1:30).
And we do not do the will of the Feminist or glorify feminism. Our lives are to glory God (1 Cor 1:31).
