Born of a woman
When I was little it was quite a customary thing for a child to be asked, “Do you love mom more or dad?” Soon most kids learned how to answer for this question wisely. The answer has to be “equal.” Smart kids knew it was a trick question and you always have to say “I love them equally. They are tantamount.”
Now I am thirty two years old and still would not take partiality toward my mom or dad. However, looking back there was a certain period that I did not value much daddy’s role for my birth. I was born from a woman in a painful delivery, even carried in her own body for ten months. What did my dad really do for this? It wasn’t until then I reached my puberty to find out how important my dad’s role was.
Thank God who is the master of all creation including mom and dad. His unfathomable love has been always reflected through my mom and dad. Praise Him for His sovereignty. Amen.
Conversation with Paul
The Apostle Paul says “I do not permit a woman (γυναικὶ) to teach or to have authority over a man (ἀνδρός), but to be in silence.”
Wait a minute, Paul! I am sorry to say this. Is it because you don’t have a wife? Or was there something wrong between you and your mom? Why such a harshness toward innocent women and moms. Why is it so important?
Have you not read, “For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression” (Gen 3:1-13).
Oh time out, Paul! Do you think our LORD is narrow-minded and still remembers all that happened six thousand years ago? What does that really have to do with this matter?
This not cumbersome but conspicuous!
Cujus regio, ejus religio
Unless you are a Gnostic you will not openly professes that God is all comprehensible. However, often you seem to act on the contrary. In one hand you say you cannot understand everything God wills and does but on the other hand you rebel against the clear doctrine of the Word. Whenever the Word contradicts with your moral, ethical, cultural, empirical and even religious opinions you simply alter it’s meaning.
But after all, who are you to reply against God? how dare you question God’s sovereignty? Did you already forget that you are mere dust? (Gen 2:7). Didn’t you profess that He is your LORD and the living Word (λόγος)?
Orthodox and prima facie
Some told me “women leadership” has been a forensic point over the history of church. But do you know what I have found? It was too obvious for churches to controvert. So there is no record of church dispute until 20th century when all denominations rushed into liberalism. (Thank God for Paige Patterson who predicted and vaccinated for this contagious opprobrium.)
You said of this, “God’s will for this generation,” “It’s cultural hermeneutics,” “God used Deborah, didn’t He?” “How about old women who were permitted to teach?” “It’s just discrimination against women,” “Women don’t wear hats any more?” and “Then, why don’t you keep the Sabbath?” Being ignorant does not make you capacious. You said it was preposterous but you are rapacious. We just became convalescent and no time for your concupiscent. Your hallucination is in fact a transubstantiation. Above all, Christ did not die for your lapsed and pernicious liberalism. Aloof disparagement will always become sacrilegious modus vivendi. Remember mercantile Christianity will come to an end and has to.
Pig
Allegedly I was called a Chauvinistic pig. But I am not even married! Who can value a woman more highly than I do? So maybe pig but not C. So thus, when Paul wrote this it was never about a hierarchy but an office (function). There are certain things for men and another, woman. I may look pregnant to you but you and I both know that is not possible. Why not? God created that way and we have to follow for the best. God has created man and woman in certain ways not because He loves one more than the other. These are things we simply have to trust and follow instead of making our own way of salvation. I wouldn’t want my children to disobey my word not because they are inferior or I don’t love them but that’s God’s providence. If we do not obey the Word how can we expect them to obey our word, unless being hypocrites.
Who do you love more, really?
I threw dozens of books and quoted a lot of God’s Words at you in love and kindness. And now I wish you well. We have a merciful God who makes the sunrise and rain on the just and unjust, who has made all for Himself. Yes, even μωρός for the day of doom. Hallelujah!
Dear pastors, elders, deacons, brothers and sisters, please remember, for love is of God true love can only be perfected in His truth. Don’t marry with Jezebel even if she might get you whatever you want. And don’t you take away the privilege and divine authority of your mom and wife because of your liberalism (Gen 2:18). These “jot and tittle” will never perish, “whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to men more than to God, you judge?” Amen.
