Listening to Protestants ignore Scripture is as tediously frustrating as listening to sedevacantists claim that Frankie isn’t the real Pope. They deny the very essence of what they claim to support. But Frankie is old news and F. LaGard Smith is supposedly in my branch of Christendom.

The surprising roots of gender madness
h ttps://www.christianpost.com/voices/the-surprising-roots-of-gender-madness.html
By F. LaGard Smith, 25 July 2022
Remember the proverbial “frog in the kettle?.
Skip. Kindly don’t blame me for not noticing the slow approach of modern perversions… which I did notice and it was not slow.
For starters, there’s “Rosie the Riveter,. depicted in WWII recruitment posters flexing her muscles, Popeye-like, with the defiant words, .We Can Do It!.. And do it they did! Millions of women abandoned their traditional roles in the home to “man” the munitions factories and shipyards while the men were off fighting. Having exchanged skirts for work trousers, many post-war “Rosies” took a liking to wearing slacks, complete with bobbed hair, eventually at “unisex” hair salons. In both careers and fashion, gender distinctions were increasingly blurred.
Whoa, wait. Is he going to notice that male and female are DIFFERENT? That God created woman to serve man? That he’s slowing becoming aware that Scripture as written can be trusted? A Prot should already be hanging out on that street corner but better late than never.
Lia Thomas, the celebrated trans swimmer, ought to be given a medal . not for breaking all the records set by real women, but for finally exposing the lie that women are as strong as men, and that biology and chromosomes don’t matter.
He ought to be given a disqualification for a man competing as a woman, then charged with blaspheming imago Dei… in the happy fantasy world that we obviously don’t live in.
But Smith is correct that him leveraging male strength to defeat women at their own game of MeToo has been hilarious.
So how did we get to the point where a man “identifying as a woman” was even permitted to compete? Having been told for generations that it’s illegal to discriminate, society has lost the ability to discriminate! We’ve been blindsided by a gender-blind ideology.worst of all, even in churches…
Say it… I think he’s going to say it…
Following culture, believers have been bewitched into thinking that what Paul said (in Gal. 3:28) about those who belong to Christ being “neither male nor female” eliminates any and all gender distinctions. Blithely ignored is Paul’s teaching that a woman is not to assume positions of spiritual leadership, a specific responsibility assigned to men in both Old and New Testaments. In matters of gender, whether in individuals or the church, God doesn’t “gift” what he prohibits.
HE SAID IT!!! Yay!
Why male spiritual leadership? Considering the wise judge, Deborah, the successful merchant, Lydia, and the “worthy woman” of Proverbs 31, surely, it can’t be because men are spiritually stronger than godly women, despite Peter’s reference (in 1 Pet. 3:7) to “the weaker vessel.. Indeed, if generally . as facts seem to indicate . women are more naturally spiritual than men, perhaps God has called men to lead so that, counterintuitively, they might be better followers.
Aw sheet, mon, why u dis muh groove like dat? I was all happy for you. You’d escaped the darkness. And you went straight back into Original Sin.
Whatever God’s reasons…
No. Stop right there. I am not finished. God’s reasons are WRITTEN IN HIS BOOK. That’s why we Protestants READ AND TRUST HIS BOOK. You can’t be all “sola Scriptura” then be all “despite 1 Peter 3:7”.
Why did God put man in charge? Because man was made first and the woman was too gullible. Emphases mine:
“A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived” 1 Timothy 2:11-14
There is no room for question here. This doubt should not exist. Women are inferior to men. We cannot proceed to debating WHY that is the case without first agreeing, with God Himself As Written, that it IS the case.
(And for the record, submissive women are the happiest women and the most pleasant to be around. For anybody who disagrees, Gretchen Whitmer needs a new sub.)
Whatever God’s reasons, when godly women take on roles ordained for men, their “spiritual transgenderism” fuels the trans fire cooking unwary innocents who are being brainwashed to their harm. Teaching boys and girls that they “can be whatever they want to be” is the right idea, but . given today’s trans world and God’s ordained gender roles . perhaps the wrong message.
It’s obvious: he gets it, he knows the answers, he know what God says and why God says it. But …like 100 percent of Protestant clergy and lay leaders, he’s terrified of offending women, whose wrath he fears more than God’s wrath.
It’s really that simple.
Yeah well F. LaGard you look like you should be running a carnival somewhere, maybe a little microphone around your neck, kinda hoarse all the time. Here’s hoping you find your true calling.
On this theme of pretending, two prominent Christians recently came to my attention by claiming membership in the little church that could, Philadelphia.
One popular youtuber Christian who produces videos documenting occult operations and tactics recently wrote that he is the angel of the church of Philadelphia. Yooop.
I told him he wasn’t and he better get a grip fast. Right there is what happens when you get too much attention/adulation from readers and followers. Next he’ll be telling us he’s God.
Other dood is a prominent endtimes-prophecy watcher, well-grounded in Scripture and producing many articles of aid to the Church. Recently wrote that he belongs to Philadelphia.
I told him I had not heard that, praised him for his webpage, and asked him for evidence of Philadelphian works. He responded by censoring and disappearing my question. He did not like being examined, as he was the site owner and local expert about things spiritual and Scriptural. His readers were watching and it was not going in a direction he wanted — i.e., me agreeing with his every word.
Silencing me was an unwise thing for him to do, as I am within my authority to ask for evidence upon claim of the works of Philadelphia — and the scars of war and wilderness.
I’ve mentioned before that I am very jealous for this little church of warriors. Which of the other churches did the King say He LOVED? Which of the other churches were praised by the King for having some strength in the face of God’s enemies? To which other church does He promise escape from the Tribulation?
One last thing concerning the Book of Revelation: note the emphases and repeated mentions by the King of the ‘deeds of the Nicolaitanes’ and how He loathes their whole scam. The Nicolaitanes were, essentially, goddess-worshippers operating under guise of holy folk and ‘Christians’. And you know how He feels about fatherhood-haters.
‘He ought to be given a disqualification for a man competing as a woman, then charged with blaspheming imago Dei. in the happy fantasy world that we obviously don.t live in.’
You loved ANAKIN NICE GUYS Imago Dei insights too GUNNER!?
http://biblicalmanhood.blogspot.com/
I can’t remember what exact posts he was talking about the Imago Dei on, BUT his best posts have always to me been from late ’08/early ’09 on there.
He was much more for single Christian men than DAL’rock ever was. Which is why I liked him so much.
Didn’t mean to be a burden. I’m fine with letting the King decide it.
However, before leaving the matter I will mention Revelation 3:10, as Christ speaks to Philadelphia:
‘Because you have kept my word about patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell on the earth.’
I know of know hour of trial or tribulation that comes upon the whole world except the final tribulation, which the King sees as a final ‘trial’, i.e., opportunity for folks to accept Him.
Why would Christ say to first-century Christians in Asia Minor, ‘I will save you from the impending worldwide tribulation’? Such a statement only makes sense when applied to Philadelphian Christians alive just before said global Troubles. This is the King comforting Philadelphians in their troubles, and promising them deliverance.
The Bible is alive, just like the folks of modern Philadelphia addressed by the Lord.
