Women, Respect, Authority And Doctrine

By David J. Stewart | July 2013

1st Timothy 2:11-14, “Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.”

       The Bible is not just the final authority, it ought to be our only authority. The Bible teaches for women NOT to teach men in the Church. It is a matter of authority. Authority is a very important thing to God. Americans are a rebellious bunch, from our children to our elderly. God created Adam first before Eve, and ordained that a husband should rule over his wife (Genesis 3:16). Eve was created from Adam's rib, the nearest thing to his heart. The function of the ribs is to protect the heart. A wife's main duty is to protect her husband's heart and to be his help meet (Genesis 2:18).

Women are more vulnerable to doctrinal deception than men, so the husband's main duty is to protect and spiritually guide his wife. Women are to learn with “IN SILENCE WITH ALL SUBJECTION,” that is, quietly in submission to her husband...

1st Timothy 2:11-14, “Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.”

The phrase “usurp authority” comes from the Greek word authenteo and means “to act of oneself.” The Bible forbids women running the show. I knew a pastor who resigned because his secretary kept opening the church mail against his request, being a busybody in the church business. He tried to stop her, but the church board took her side, so the pastor rightfully resigned. Women have no business in church administration, unless it is appointed to them by the pastor. Women are to serve with all subjection under masculine authority. One of the most shameful women of the 19th century was avowed feminist Catherine Booth (1829-1890), troublesome wife of Salvation Army founder General William Booth (1829-1912).

Women are NOT inferior to men in any way. It's a matter of authority and respect for authority. God is the highest authority (Ecclesiastes 5:8). Then the angels (Psalms 8:5). Christians are commanded to obey the higher powers of government (Romans 13:1-2). The husband is to rule over his wife, and the wife is to submit in obedience as unto the Lord (Ephesians 5:22). Children are commanded to obey their parents (Ephesians 6:1; Colossians 3:20). This is why the Bible teaches for women to learn at home from their husband. 1st Corinthians 14:35, “And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.” It is a matter of authority.

The evils of feminism reject and attack the God-ordained authority of husbands and fathers in the home, which is the main reason why our society in the United States is falling apart. The family is the basic unit of society. Satan knows that the surest and fastest way to destroy any civilization is to remove the father from the home. One-out-of-three children in America have no father in the home!!! No wonder our nation is falling apart, going to ruin and destruction. The so-called “Generation Gap” is of the Devil.

Hebrews 13:7 commands Christians to “Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.” This Scripture simple refers to godly leaders who lead us in the Scriptures. 1st Corinthians 11:1, “Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.” It doesn't mean that we are supposed to obey our pastor; but rather, we ought to take heed to godly counsel. The authority of the New Testament Church is the Word of God. When a man or men become the authority of a church, then you have a dangerous religious cult.

The Bible condemns abuse in marriage. Husbands are to rule by love, kindness and influence; not tyranny, abuse and drunkenness. The Bible teaches that a true leader is a servant (Matthew 23:11). 1st Peter 3:7, “Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.” Spousal abuse hinders prayers, as you just read. Wicked feminists always attempt to use cases of spousal abuse to criticize and escape God's command for wives to obey their husband in the home.

Mankind's problems stem from his having the wrong authority. When children listen to the idiots on television or singing worldly brats like Katy Perry and Justin Bieber, they are following the wrong authority. When churches adopt corrupt modern PERversions of the Bible, they are following the wrong authority. When a wife listens to family, pastor, lawyer or friends instead of her husband, she is following the wrong authority. It is a wicked sin for any woman to place her pastor's influence above her husband's rule. You married your husband, not your pastor. The marriage was the first institution that God ever created. The marriage comes BEFORE family, church and government! Only God's Word is higher than a marriage bond! That's why God said in Mark 10:9, “What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.” If you're marriage is not strong, people WILL destroy it!

The reason why God commands women to be silent in church in men's business is a matter of authority. The reason why God commands women not to be preachers or pastors is a matter of authority. ALL women preachers, evangelists and pastors are FALSE PROPHETS! Women who disobey God in this matter do so because they desire authority. Joyce Meyer and Melissa Scott preach with feminist authority, both doctrinally corrupt, and God hates it! How can a woman be “the husband of one wife” to qualify for the position of a pastor? (1st Timothy 3:2). Obviously, only a man can be the husband of one wife. Women are more susceptible to false doctrine than men, plainly evidenced by the horde of feminist false women preachers in the Charismatic movement, Episcopalian and God forbid, lesbian ministers.

Women are sinning by entering the pulpit in a position of authority. Godly ladies who respect authority wouldn't dare get behind a pulpit to preach to men. Joyce Meyer is a wicked woman, serving the Devil. Her husband sits in the audience, like a henpecked sissy. She said last week on TBN that her husband got the Holy Spirit at age 18 while sitting on the toilet. No kidding, she said that in front of thousands of people. She lacks respect for her husband, publicly humiliating him. Women preachers totally disrespect and make a mockery of God's authority. Satan is behind women ministers who usurp leadership over men. Women are forbidden from doctrinally leading men, because they are prone to corruption, and Joyce Meyer is extremely corrupt. Men of God are rare, but women of God are almost extinct!!! They're definitely on the endangered species list! I have the utmost respect and admiration for any godly woman who recognizes, respects and upholds respect for masculine God-ordained authority.

Do you know why the Bible has been banned since 1963 in America's classrooms? It's because man's authority was conflicting with God's authority, and men rejected God! When Rock 'N' Roll music invaded America in the 1960's with the British Invasion, it brought dope, rebellion and sexual immorality. Consequently, millions of young women were pregnant out of wedlock and so abortion was legalized in 1973. One sin begets another sin! As these wicked sins have established deep roots in our culture of death, decadence and delinquency, it is in this shameful environment that lesbianism and homosexuality have flourished! God only knows where all this mess is headed!

Psuedo-scholars are claiming across America that homosexuality wasn't the crime which compelled God to reign down fire and brimstone, wiping Sodom and Gomorrah off the map. They are woefully wrong and deliberately against the Lord! Genesis 19:1-13 records a frightening scene of an angry mob of perverted, lust-driven, homosexuals breaking down Lot's door to rape the two angels from Heaven. The angels struck them with blindness, thank God! Oh my friend, homosexuality is the bottom of the barrel, the lowest moral point to which a society can descend, provoking the judgment of God (Jude 1:7). I love everyone unconditionally in the Lord, including homosexuals. Albeit, I hate the sin of homosexuality, as the Bible commands in Psalms 97:10.

As Christians we are commanded to hate all sin and evil. Jesus hated iniquity (Hebrews 1:9). Christians need to get upset over sin! One of the greatest sins of Christians these days is that we don't get upset enough over wickedness. Most professed Christians are sinfully going along to get along with the gay-agenda! NO ONE has a right to commit immorality. Young women who have abortions aren't mixed up, their wicked murderers! Gays aren't “born that way,” they've chosen to commit homosexuality! Sin is not a disease, it's a CHOICE! Did you know that in Texas you can get an abortion even in your 9th month of pregnancy! It's called a “late-term abortion” or “partial-birth abortion”! Woe unto our nation!!!

The world's way isn't working. The world will tell you that you can only have one president. The world will tell you that you can only have one mayor, one governor, one CEO of a corporation. But they'll tell you when you get married that you can have two bosses. Two headed things are freaky, they don't live long!

Do you know why Eve ate the forbidden fruit? It's because she wanted to be like God. The sin-nature in women tends to want to usurp authority over men. So they redefine the Bible to fit their evil agenda. Wicked women desire to exert authority over men, which always leads to disaster. Women in law enforcement are a shame. There's nothing more repulsive than a tough woman (who's a mental homosexual, thinking like a man). A woman's place Biblically is in the home (1st Timothy 5:14-15). Notice that 1st Timothy 5:15 says career women have turned aside after Satan. I didn't say it, God did. You cannot recreate God in your image. God created humanity in His image, “male and female created he them.” Men were created to be rugged, tough, dominating, hard and decisive; but women were created to be sweet, soft, submissive, meek and feminine. Nothing makes a man feel like a real man than a feminine woman (feminine, not feminist!). And nothing makes a woman feel like a real woman than a masculine man. We've lost our gender identity in America! It's so bad that 6-year-old boys are suing to use the girl's bathroom, AND THEY'RE WINNING IN COURT!

It's a shame that people will go to every authority under the sun before recognizing the Word of God. God's integrity is at stake if He breaks His Word. That's why Psalms 138:2 proclaims, “I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.” Americans have all the wrong authorities! Most people are following their own selfish will, whose god is their belly. Philippians 3:18-19, “(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.” Woe unto America!

When it comes to women, authority and doctrine, ladies are taught in the Bible to learn at home, stay out of the pulpit and obey their OWN husband. Failure to heed the Bible's teachings is to blaspheme the Word of God, showing that you think you know better than God. That's why the United States in on the brink of destruction. Feminism has indoctrinated women to be intolerant of authoritative men. Women who dress whorishly, behave lewdly, speak foolishly, do bad, shirk aside virtue and disobey their husband are BLASPHEMING THE BIBLE...

Titus 2:3-5, “The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.”

Folks, when you don't do things God's way, things can only get worse. In the old days of our country, women obeyed their husband and every woman wore a full-length dress in 1895. Nowadays, women look back on those early women as being victims of a male-chauvinist society where women weren't allowed to vote, were discriminated against, repressed and it was a man's society. However, the contemporary alternative society of women's liberation has led to epidemic sexual immorality, immodest dress, abortion, feminist indoctrination, divorce, broken homes and homosexuality!!! Which time period is worse? That's why I say that things can only get worse if we don't obey God. When we obey God there are still going to be problems, because mankind is inherently sinful; but if we disobey God and embrace wickedness instead, then things can only become MUCH worse!!!

God knows what he is talking about. Sin is turning America into a three-ring-circus! I read in the news yesterday about an idiot mother in Colorado who sued the local school when the superintendent refused to allow her alleged transgendered 6-year-old son to use the girl's bathroom. SHE WON! The court ruled in favor of the transgendered boy, so now he gets to go into the girl's bathroom anytime he wants. He has male genitalia. What is going to happen as he grows older, goes through puberty and the law says he (biologically a male) can use the girl's bathroom because he dresses like a female? It's insanity! Not surprisingly, the father was no where to be found. It's crazy women, prone to false doctrine (like the gay agenda garbage) who are turning their boys into girls and their girls into boys. Again, women are NOT inferior to men in any way. It's a matter of authority and respect for authority. It is a matter of obeying the holy Bible.
 

Homosexuality Rooted In Lack Of Respect For God's Authority

Romans 1:21, “Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.”

Every mother needs to read Dr. Jack Hyles' excellent article titled “HOW TO MAKE A MAN OUT OF A BOY.” Ladies, your son doesn't have to become a girl! YOU ARE THE MOTHER! Under point number 10 in the preceding article, Dr. Hyles says, “The boy who is going to become a real man must learn to respect authority.” If a mother doesn't respect God's authority in the Bible, then how can she teach and expect a child to obey God? The answer is she cannot. She's likely divorced from fighting against her husband's authority too. I cannot stress enough the importance of upholding proper authority in the marriage, home, family, church and society. Perhaps if our nation's mothers didn't dress, talk and behave like men that their sons wouldn't behave like sissies, girls and twerps. Think about it! No boy with a real dad talking him to the park to play baseball, wrestle with him and catch and gut fish together is going to want to wear bras and panties like this mother's boy does! Sin is a CHOICE! Transgenders almost always come from fatherless homes!

I also think some of these bad mothers of transgendered children want money, and are hoping for a giant lawsuit by constantly challenging the system. Our society has become rotten and Godless, so bad that a married couple in Minnesota deliberately abandoned their small child in the forest preserve, so they could sell the movie rights when the boy was found days later by authorities. People will do anything these days for money, anything! The love of money is of the Devil. Bless God, you'd better anchor yourself to the Word of God and walk close with the Lord Jesus, or else you won't make it, just like most others aren't making it. Our society has gone insane, millions flown over the cuckoo's nest!

If you are a Christian lady, I plead with you as your brother in Christ to uphold, defend and respect the authorities which God has established in your life. Respect for authority is so very important. Every child should be taught to address adults as “yes Sir” and “no Sir” and “yes Mame” and “no Mame.” Teach your children to respect God and the Bible. Teach your children to respect the preacher of the Word of God. Teach your children to respect and obey their father. Respect for authority goes hand-in-hand with obedience. You're not going to obey authority that you don't respect. Children don't respect the Bible anymore. They don't fear God at all. I get sick listening to the moronic newsmedia and dumfounded neighbors or coworkers trying to understand why good old Fred snapped and blew away several co-workers or murdered his family in cold blood. It's not that hard to figure out! BRING BACK THE WORD OF GOD AND PRAYER IN THE SCHOOLS!!!

Homosexuality ought not be allowed to exist in our country. It should be banned and punished by law, as it used to be a century ago. In many countries it is still a capital offense, as it was in Old Testament Israel. Lesbians and gays ought not be permitted to marry, let alone pastor churches. I am so glad that God's Word and every Bible-preaching Christian will be vindicated in eternity. The days of gay-rights are numbered. Job 20:4-5, “Knowest thou not this of old, since man was placed upon earth, That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?” If I were a king, I'd ban homosexuality! I'd ban abortion! I'd ban gossip! I'd ban booze! I'd ban immodest dress! I'd eradicate television and the internet from existence!

Let me say, so my enemies don't take my words out of context, that I am NEVER for harming anyone. Christians ought to speak the truth about the evils of homosexuality from the Bible, because we fear God's terror at the Judgment Seat Of Christ (2nd Corinthians 5:11). The Bible says to fear God and not men (Matthew 10:28). I am against gay-bashing, threats and encouraging any form of harm against anyone. Gay-bashing is wrong. That's exactly what the wicked want from the religious community, that is, harassment, threats of physical harm and hatred, so they can use the law against us. I hate what God hates, evil (Psalms 97:10); but I do NOT hate people. I hate the cult of Roman Catholicism, but I love the people in Catholicism. I hate the abortion industry, but I love the person having an abortion (and the person being aborted). God's unconditional love for the world compelled God to give His only begotten Son to pay for the world's sins. The Bible teaches for Christian believers to be as wise as serpents, but as harmless as doves (Matthew 10:16).

Philippians 2:15, “That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world.” The Bible teaches three things here:

  1. Christians live in a crooked and perverse world (1st John 5:19).

  2. Christians ought to live above reproach, being blameless and harmless (Matthew 5:16).

  3. Christians are the light of the world (because Jesus is the light in us, John 9:5).

James 4:12 says that God is the only Lawgiver and Judge. I am not happy that God will punish homosexuals and all proud sinners in the Lake of Fire (1st Corinthians 6:9-10; Jude 1:7; Philippians 3:18-19), but it is the truth of God's Word...

King Asa took the sodomites out of the land (1st Kings 15:12). If you think that homosexuals ought to have equal rights the same as moral, God-fearing, normal people, then you need to get your evil heart right with God. The Word of God condemns the morally reprehensible sin of homosexuality (Romans 1:24-32). Homosexuality and feminist rebellion are synonymous. We didn't we have the massive homosexual problem in America until we developed a massive authority problem. Children today are encouraged to rebel, degrade and humiliate their parents. Television is saturated with brats sassing and yelling at their parents. A child should never be allowed to talk over their parents, scold their parents or rebuke their parents. Children who are raised in the nurture and admonition of the Word of God are not going to pursue homosexual desires. The Bible teaches in Proverbs 29:15, “The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.”
 

Final Remarks On Women, Respect, Authority And Doctrine

As you can see, the Bible has much to say about authority. God hates anarchy. The Biblical recipe for national healing is to humble ourselves in prayer, seek God's face and turn from our wicked ways (2nd Chronicles 7:14). Divorce, anarchy and rebellion are the world's sinful ways to overthrow authority. Anarchy is man's attempt to restore good government through rebellion without having a righteous society. It doesn't work that way. When a society turns toward God by faith, then God heals the land. God will not bless a wicked people. Even if anarchy could rid Washington D.C. of all corruption tomorrow, our wicked society would replace it with another corrupt government in no time. How can good fruit come forth from a corrupt tree? Godly authority, faith and righteousness are all synonymous.

When faith in God is gone, people look to central (big) government to meet their needs. Liberty is the freedom to make our own choices; freedom is a reward for making the right choices! 2nd Corinthians 3:17, “Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.”
