How dare any man say feminism is the cause of the breakdown of the family!
What supreme arrogance is this!
I have NOW this very day, three children whom their fathers have long ago abandoned to the streets with nothing! And there are thousands like them! Thousands!
I have taken in countless women and children who have been abandoned by their spouses and their so called "fathers" and today these women and their children have prosperous lives by the power of God, not the rule of men!
How many single parent homes are there with fathers as the parent? I daresay they can all be counted ON ONE PAGE!
How many single parent homes are there where the mother is the only parent?
You would need an encyclopedia of pages to list them all!
Why? Because women are rebellious creatures? Certainly not!
It is because they were foolish enough to trust in man for their provision, their daily bread and relied soley upon men, fathers, to provide, rule and have dominion!
Men have been the one's in power for centuries, they ruin the world, they ruin the women and the children and then say "feminism" did this.
Rubbish, utter rubbish; men in power and in a continuous lust for more are the one's who have corrupted this earth and the Lord has seen and He has also spoken.
How many women have been impeached for abuse of power or for corrupt behaviour?
Should I attempt to list the men who have been exposed and ousted for such, I would need several web pages to list them all.
Yet when the system fails, it is the fault of the women, oh you mean those whom you have kept at home to be mothers and housekeepers? How have they done any corrupting, they were NOT the one's in authority or power, what a foolish statement indeed.
Men have failed, and not because they failed to keep women under subjection, but because they did seek to do this, this is why they failed and this is why they will be taken out and their positions be given to women! Because they are corrupt.
Men throw helpless women and children out on the streets with nothing and when these women arise and conquer the very one's who slaughtered them in the fist place it is called feminism.
Men are altogether corrupt when they will say they are given by God to rule over women, this is the lie from the pulpits today which God Himself is coming against and this will be wiped out, I said it before, there is a fire coming to burn up the chaff and it is coming, this I long to see and will pray it not delay.
Even women of the Old Covenant had servants who watched over their children!
I guess then men are saying that even Mary, mother of Jesus was a feminist then and that Joseph had no control over his own house; FOR;
After the Feast was over, while his parents were returning home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but they were unaware of it.
Thinking he was in their company, they traveled on for a day.
Then they began looking for him among their relatives and friends.
When they did not find him, they went back to Jerusalem to look for him.
After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.
I guess Mary was not a keeper at home, watching over her child, even the Messiah, I guess she too was a feminist and Joseph, well he must have been altogether corrupt, he could not control his woman or his child!
Women were allowed by God to be workers in the world and in the Kingdom of God and they had servants to help with their children while they did their work (Proverbs 31 also).
Yet today, men will try to use the Bible, and manipulation and guilt to keep women out of the workplace, under their "authority" and "rule" without rights, without power or money or a means of support, then throw the women and children out on the streets and say God said "I rule over you!". How sick is that!
God said to women (be keepers at home) because these were Jewish people and their traditions were such that women were NOT allowed to do anything but this, and He said do this so that My Word will not be profaned among men! traditions of men, NOT GOD! Foolish men, when will you ever learn, you cannot harness and control the power of God.
Were you a slave when called?
Do not be concerned about it. Even if you can gain your freedom, make use of
your present condition now more than ever.
For whoever was called in the Lord as a slave is a freed person belonging to the Lord, just as whoever was free when called is a slave of Christ. (This does NOT say COME UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF YOUR HUSBAND WHEN YOU MARRY!)
You were bought with a price; do not become slaves of human masters.
Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey.
Women are servants of God Almighty, not men, God gives the commands and by His Spirit we obey HIM, not men.
These women were slaves to men when they were called; God said use your positions to win them and by this would they gain their freedom! NOT BECAUSE GOD WANTD THEM TO REMAIN THERE!.
Who is man to say God said women are to obey men! GOD said NOT to do this!
Since there are no men who will declare the Word of the Lord, I will do it for you then;
The Lord said " I am raising up My women, My warriors, My people will arise and they are the women of this generation, the women of the next generation to whom this torch is passed; these will have a double power, a double anointing and a double portion of the spoils of war; for their only prayer is, not my will but Your will be done Lord.
The Lord said He is about to invade the mosques of the Muslims and raise up some women from these who will rise up and conquer their masters, those depraved men of corrupt hearts who would seek to rule and reign by a human power and false religions, these shall be conquered by the very one's they have enslaved, they shall now be the slave to the one's they once mastered. God says, they have kept you in the caves, submitting to the rules and regulations of men of power and corrupt minds, now I will liberate you and none will stand against you for I will be your power, I will be your authority, I will raise you up and no one will trample you underfoot again!.
Women are the chosen warriors of today; women of God who are not afraid to storm the gates of hell and beat that devil as fine as dust and pour him out like mud upon the streets; these women shall take the plunder, they shall tie up the strong man and take all his goods for the Kingdom of God.
Throw a woman and her children out on the streets with nothing and the Lord Himself will care, He will raise them up and they will go forth and conquer you oh supreme one's.
Call it what you will, feminist movement, rebellious women, whatever!
This is but the opinion of man not the opinion of God, Ha, go LORD!
WE DON'T CARE WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY, WE HEAR THE VOICE OF GOD!
The women of God, we are powerful in word and deed; diligent hands shall rule, obscure men will not stand before her, she shall serve before kings! WOMEN OF GOD ARISE AND CONQUER!
The Holy One of Israel is our defender, our power, our control, our leader, we follow Him and He said "arise and conquer, you shall tread upon the great lion and the serpent, you shall tread under your feet those fierce oppressors who sought to bring you once again into the bondage of slavery to man, you are Mine, I will fight this battle for you and through you, I will raise you up and once again women will be given the honor in the battle".
Evil will slay the wicked, they will no longer rule over you as if you were an animal in need of training, I am the only leader and I will lead this nation and I will lead My women! No man will succeed against the plans of the most high God; now will I arise and decree justice and with Me, by My side, will be the chosen women of this hour and of the generation to come. So says the Lord God!
When men are in power;
"Just now the favorite ideological psychological candidate for control of human activity is love of power (John Dewey, 1939)."
"He who is firmly seated in authority soon learns to think security, and not progress, the highest lesson of statecraft (James Russell Lowell, 1870)."
"As to the people, they have no understanding, and only repeat what their rulers are pleased to tell them (Plato)."
"The way to have power is to take it ("Boss" Tweed, 1823-1878)."

"Monarchy would not have continued so many ages in the world had it not been for the abuses it protects. It is the master of fraud which shelters all others (Thomas Paine, 1792)."
"Power may be justly compared to a great river which, while kept within its bounds is both beautiful and useful, but when it overflows its banks, is then too impetuous to be stemmed, it bears down on all before it and brings destruction and desolation wherever it goes (Andrew Hamilton, 1735)."
"Where love rules, there is no will to power; and where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other (Carl Gustav Jung, 1954)."
"The love of liberty is the love of others; the love of power is the love of ourselves (William Hazlitt, 1778-1830)."
The lust for power is not rooted in strength but in weakness (Eric Fromm, 1941)."
"Power gradually extirpates from the mind every human and gentle virtue. Pity, benevolence, friendship, are things unknown in high stations (Edmund Burke, 1756)."
"Any excuse will serve a tyrant (Aesop, 620-560 B.C.)"
"The human mind is prone to pride even when not supported by power; how much more, then, does it exalt itself when it has that support? (Pope Gregory I, 540 - 604 A.D.)"
"It is not power itself, but the legitimation of the lust for power that corrupts absolutely (R.H. Crossman, 1951)."
"For he that thinks absolute power purifies men's blood, and corrects the basis of human nature need read but the history of this, or any age, to be convinced to the contrary (John Locke, 1690)."
"Tyrants use their power in three manners. The first is, that they strive that those under their mastery be ignorant and fearful, because, when they be such, they may not rise against them, nor resist their wills;
and the second is, that their victims not be kindly and united among themselves, in such a wise that they trust not each other;
and the third way is that they strive to make them poor, and to put them under great undertakings, which they can never finish, whereby they may have so much harm that it may never come into their hearts to devise anything against their ruler (Alfonso X, King of Castile, 1226-1284)."
"Power is sweet; it is a drug, the desire for which increases with habit (Bertrand Russell, 1951)."
"Arbitrary power has seldom or never been introduced into a country at once. It must be introduced by slow degrees, and as it were step by step, lest the people should perceive its approach (Lord Chesterfield, 1737)."
"Power is gradually stealing away from the many to the few, because the few are more vigilant and consistent (Samuel Johnson, 1774)."
"Real politics is the possession and distribution of power (Benjamin Disraeli, 1804 - 1881)."
"Many addictions can be far more dangerous than addiction to drugs. The addiction to power (M. Scott Peck, 1993)."
"Unlimited power is apt to corrupt the minds of those who possess it (William Pitt, 1770)"
"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely (Lord Acton, 1887)."

"I see that power intoxicates men (Camille Desmoulins, 1794)."
"Power buries those who wield it (Talmud)."
"Craving for power is not a vice of the body, consequently it knows none of the limitations imposed by a tired or satiated physiology upon gluttony, intemperance and lust (Aldous Huxley, 1940)."
"Constant experience shows us that every man invested with power is apt to abuse it and to carry authority as far as it will go (Baron Charles Montesquieu, 1748)."
"Those who have once been intoxicated with power, and have derived any kind of emolument from it, even though but for one year, can never willingly abandon it (Edmund Burke, 1727-1797)."
"My concern is whether America can overcome the fatal arrogance of power (J. William Fulbright, 1966)."
You show a lot of wisdom and insight in this post. And I agree with you. It is sad how many Christians there are who are not walking in freedom and victory. It really breaks my heart. The anger, bitterness, pain, and disappointment that many of us carry around is like a ball and chain. It weighs us down, stumbles us, and hinders spiritual growth. May God help us to be a forgiving people, that we may be forgiven and free to be all that He has called us to be.
Feminism did mess it up,.,.,women just started this nonsense in the 60's the world has been around for thousands of years .,.,.,.,.,.,.GOD put Man to head over the women, so deal with it,
1 Corinthians 11:3(KJV)
But 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.
1 Timothy 2:13-15(KJV)
13For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
14And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
15Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
Nothing the matter with being a career women in all,.,but if you dont know how to take care of your home first ,..,.,you should be ashamed as a woman, a woman should know how to keep up her house
Feminism really has nothing to do with who makes a house a home. Feminism has to do with equality of women and men(in many different areas) from wages to sexual harassment to law - and I would say that 'most' men support some if not most characteristics of feminism - maybe without even knowing it. Yes, men can be considered feminist too - it does not AT ALL mean he is feminine in his character. BUT, feminism should not include falsely translating or changing the Bible's meaning to cater to feminist beliefs that do not coincide with the true meaning of the Bible.
God is the only one who truly makes a house a home - and this is through everyone in the home, definitely not just the wife.
1peter3:1. Likewise you wives, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives,
2. when they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear.
i noticed that a wife being submissive to her husband is commonly misunderstood by many women. maybe they're interpreting it like �whatever the husband says, the woman must follow like a slave or something� and then, �the man could then say anything to his wife and let her do everything he wants like an evil master�... but i think it's about the decisions that the husband makes, which the woman must respect. she should not say what it's supposed to be and tell the husband what to do. instead, she can counsel him by letting him know some choices that she knows and still let the husband decide and let the woman follow. that would show that she trusts and respects her husband's decisions. And there would be peace between the husband and the wife, which God always wanted.
That is of course if the husband�s decision would not cause her to sin. Anyway, it�s not hard to determine which is evil and which is good. (Prov. 2:9. Then you will understand righteousness and justice, equity and every good path.) So if the husband�s decision is evil, then the woman must not follow such decision from a man. And if the decision isn�t evil, although the man does not know the Word of God, the woman must still show respect on his decisions so she can show the husband her good conduct (the respect) which would give a woman better chances of winning her husband.
Well, i don�t think a very noisy wife who always shows his husband that she has authority over him is proper. As the scriptures says, �1cor: 34. Let your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak; but they are to be submissive, as the law also says� and 1peter3: 3. Do not let your beauty be that outward adorning of arranging the hair, of wearing gold, or of putting on fine apparel; 4. but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible ornament of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.
As for me, being gentle and having a quiet spirit makes me feel beautiful.. ^_^ it's like acting in an intelligent manner while remaining quiet but showing some smiles. they make someone lovely in a mysterious way.. ^_^
i think, these passages are very favorable for a woman because they teach her how to be lovely not only in the sight of men but most of all in the sight of God... ^_^
Yes there will soon be liberty when christ comes back we as people. Won't be based in Yeshuas eyes by color or gender/stupid sayings. Or that what was done in past generations for sins of adam or eve. Though we wouldn't have all existed if they did not eat there of. I am glad are parents made a mistake. God saw us in their dna God had worked it out all for the better and good. An christ came to break the yolk caused by both partys. Thus we carry on till Christ comes again. I remeber watching a old school film how women marched to get rights for themselves. And colored people to vote just like the white men. And to stop racial slurs in the work place. And I was watching mister high tower on t.v. He called an all girls club into section and they called themselves feminist. I think is a word woman gave themselves who have meetings to get equal rights as men by fighting advercity.
