Yeah I would say the worst religion to women atleast mainstream one is Islam heaven is literally only described for men 72 virgins lol Islam is really a whore monger religion
Absolutely! I was brainwashed into believing Christianity was harmful and degrading to women until i picked up The Bible and read it myself to discover just the opposite. Christianity teaches us how important and precious the role of women and true femininity is, as i grow in my faith i grow in my feminine power and ability and honour the position The Lord calls me to have in my family and society. God is so good. 💙
Yeah its the height of irony when people say the Bible is misogynistic. Besides the fact, that quite simply, I do not give a rats 🍑 when it comes unbelievers standards by which they judge the bible, they couldn’t be more wrong. The wife submits to the husband who SERVES her as Christ served the church. It’s reciporcal.
And many non-Christians will twist this around and say the Bible is sexist... Heck, many CHRISTIANS will twist this around, and take the preceding verse "Wives, honour your husbands" and neglect the verse right after that says "Husbands, honour your wives". We must always be vigilant :)
Another not so known note on etiquette: Men are to lead when walking down the stairs and they trail their wife when walking up the stairs so as to be there in case she were to fall and to avoid potentially falling on her.
In Islam and Hinduism, the woman walks behind her husband at a distance with the children. This reinforces the leadership role of the husband and father over the family. Most Western women (even Christians) find this offensive. However, I can pretty much guarantee this is how Abraham and Sarah acted and it is likely that Mary walked behind Joseph.
This one is actually a pretty common one for me. My wife has neuropathy in her feet and dislikes heights, so it's distinctly safer for me to walk behind/in front of her in the respective scenarios. I also wanted to say that, per Philippians 4:5, Doug's gentleness is quite evident here. God Bless him richly.
Rob Roy tells his son honor is the gift a man gives himself. His son asks do women have honor? Rob Roy says women are the heart of honor. When a man protects a woman he serves honor.
I read on the web a woman is like a glass chandelier... fragile, but beautiful and precious. One could build it strong.. weld a steel frame, build it out of thick wood, but it wouldnt be beautiful or precious to us. We honour what is precious to us. A Womans beauty is her soft fragility, like a flower. We take care of flowers and do not think of them as weak, but only as beautiful, precious and how sad it would be if they didnt exist.

Proverbs 12:4 - “An excellent wife is the crown of her husband, but she who shames him is as rottenness in his bones.” a Damn shame when most young women these days are more like charcoal than a crown...
Brother why do you speak with such bitterness and spite? Or do you not know that when you do such things, you also approve of others to do the same? I speak out of love brother, for edification, that you may search the word of God on such matters and may repent and futhermore grow through Christ our Lord and savior. NKJV Ephesisans 4:29-32. 5:1-14 Corinthians 13:4-13 Philippians 2:1-2,12-16 God bless you brother. Lean not with your own understand but through the wisdom of God. Be an imitation of Christ who was the Word made flesh, and may the God of peace be with you. Amen.
Ephesisans 4:29-32. 5:1-5 Brethren, what edification or Grace does this comment show? Put away all bitterness, as is said in the word or God. Walk in love brother, if you have truly tasted God's goodness, as it is Jesus comandment to us. 1 Corinthians 13:4 Philippians 1:14-17 God will Judge us, if we, being imperfect judges, how much more God in perfection. I say this for edification, that you may repent, and not speak carnality but speak by the Holy Spirit of God. That you may discern what is the will of the Almightly. And may the God of Peace be with you Joka.

@@JOKACRAZY Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joint and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intent of the heart. Galatians 5:19-23 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleaness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; which I told you beforehand, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. Proverbs 27:6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend. Joka, I do not seek to glorify myself, for I am a man who will die and will have to give an account on judgment day. So what does it profit me to boast? I want you to search the scriptures to test and see what I say is true. I want to see you in heaven with Christ in our glorifyed bodies. Although you may hate me for it, I will tell you the truth, that there is no deceit in my writing to you. The greatest commandment, to love the Lord your God with all you mind, soul and strength. Jesus said "if you love Me, you will keep my commandments". Therefore if you hate me, the love of God is not in you. 1 John 4:20 Test your fruit through scripture, luke 6:43-45. Bring forth your strong case, and tell me, where is my deceit? Do I say these things for selfish reasons, to boast? Is my fruit of the Spirit or of the flesh; Galatians5:19-23? In what way have I offended my God? In what way have I reviled you, spoken evil of you, defamed your character? Lift your voice to the heavens and declare it against me. That the Lord my God, may chastise me harshly for my iniquity. But if no evil is found. repent of your reviling against me, outburst of wrath and hatred you have shown to others as well. That it may not be held against you. Not for my sake, but for your salivations sake. Matthew 5:22
Watching this again after a few years. It occurs to me that another intrinsic weakness of women is related to their particular part in human reproduction. The menstrual cycle, pregnancy, post-partum recovery, and breastfeeding cause women to be indisposed in various degrees to the kind of laborious tasks involved in certain occupations, warfare, and travel (real travel not combustion engines strapped to lay-z-boys travel) etc.. This weakness is a glorious thing, and of course deserves honor. While on the subject of the relationship between women's weakness and honor I would suggest that the physical weakness of the female body, it's softness if you will, is directly related to feminine beauty. The masculine body is not beautiful precisely because of it's hardness. Even the trans people understand this. Which is why so called "trans men' seek to pad out particular areas of their bodies. [TH-cam may now cancel me. Goodbye]
My father is has bo gentleness or love towards me or my mom but he sure knows verses memorized from the Bible. Please pray for him to have a real convergence to the Lord.
There is an inexhaustible supply of wisdom within the Bible. Some discern more deeply within it than others. Sadly, some hear with their ears but do not listen with their heart. "Who hath ears to hear, let him hear." Matthew 13:9-16 KJV
When Peter says to Honor the weaker vessel. Referring to your wife. Does this not mean to PROTECT. When we Honor something or someone do we not Protect it. Like the Honorable Judge or The Honorable President. People in Honorable positions, are they not protected from enemies. Similarly, we Honor the weaker vessel. Women because they are in position of Honor. They are The Glory of Man who is the Glory of God. As Men, we are not in this position. Well we shouldn't be at least
The tie is Grounded in Creation, as demonstrated in the Garden most clearly from the jump. Even to the name, Ish; Man, Adam; Ishan; Woman, Eve. Even grounded in Eve sinning before Adam and temptation comin through Her, while Adam should've Crushed the head of the serpent!
No disagreement with your insights, but I think it's vitally important to this conversation to include the first command in the text, as it brings clarity to the phrase 'showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel'. '7...husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way...' - I don't think it's likely that would have been necessary to say if the 'weakness' he had in mind was physical, especially in those days when the 'strength' of women was NEVER depended upon. The requirement for understanding by husbands clearly points to emotional & cognitive differences between men and women.
1 Peter 3:7 Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.
Within and without marriage this subject takes various turns. Within and without Church circles this takes different forms. Basically strength vs weakness is realized through living empirically I say. You'll see
I think God made women a little less warrior-like so men would automatically want to protect women. In turn, we woman need physically stronger 'warriors' and/or 'wealth building' men so we can feel secure as we have and raise our children. Of course there are exceptions to typical males and females, and we need to have room in our society for 'misfits' without making them feel wrong or lesser creatures. Humans, religious or humanist, tend to like to 'cull' misfits out of their 'tribe'. This is wrong of course, but, a very real human tendency.
You ever done a study of the word cherish? Where is the balance to where you cherish a wife without tipping scale in making her feel like she is now to be reverenced and become the center of universe?
I believe in the inerrant scriptures, but its rather hard to apply the weaker vessel theology in the US in 2023. Its been my experience that that women are hardly weak now. Most men I know are terrified of their wives who have the whip hand over them thanks to the divorce laws. Men are ciphers in the home and have no power at all. My fine Christian wife divorced me for failing to obey her orders and virtually ran off with my last penny after being viscious with me for years. Maybe the weakness the apostle was talking about was the half-insane emotions and irrationality that most women are burdened with.
I am truly sorry to hear that. May God lead your wife in repentance from her sin. The weakness in mind is certainly a part of what the apostle is speaking about. Women are not only weaker physically. They are more easily damaged by stress, more easily afraid, and more easily deceived by the devil. They need clear male guidance, in marriage and elsewhere. Sadly they often get the opposite, and have their misguided notions encouraged. Fathers, husbands, and pastors all need to turn this around.
I've always understood that this passage shouldn't focus just the word weaker, but must include the vessel as well. Thus "weaker vessel" is not so much about the "weakness" of women as much as comparing a sturdy but rather dull clay jar (men) to a finer, more valuable but fragile porcelain jar (women). Thus honoring the wife is not about her weakness, but her value.
Biblically the husband (the man) is NOT seen as a dull crude "jar" as compared to the fine porcelain of a woman. Biblically, the man is seen as the prototype of the human from which the woman is drawn. Man is, therefore, the glory of God, whereas woman is the glory of man. This concept is so strong in the Bible that St. Paul states that it is offensive for women to uncover their heads in God's holy presence in the church. Of course, Protestant Evangelicals, being such strong "Bible believing Christians" that they ignore this strong biblical teaching and allow women to flaunt their uncovered heads in God's presence in worship. St. Paul indicates that this offends the angels, but modern Christians are more immersed in Fourth Wave Feminism than Biblical Christianity.
I agree with your destination, but differ a bit with your route. The word is not weak-ness, but weak-er. One of you in this video is looking for "the weakness." The idea is delicate, fragile. She is more like a valuable and delicate piece of China than a plastic tumbler. Think of the handling of and uses for each. Quite a difference. Clearly one is special, the other, common. Honor, protect from violence, take special care for. I think: Weak-er in certain ways, but strong in ways we men often do not take note of.
This is not trolling, but at 5:22 I am nodding impatiently and waiting for the substance, the quiet part that needs to be said. Any man worth a lick knows to walk on the road side :). Say the hard part please. We have lost sight of it completely even in Christendom.
Not true. What’s he going to do, save her from being hit by a car by throwing his own body at it? Even if so, it’s easier to pull out and fling out of the way than push. Far more likely to have something done by the passerby in the middle of the sidewalk. I’ll use logic and reason, you can use tradition. Lol Chivalry tradition is mostly just show. Just like God, women don’t like a works based relationship either…at least not mine.
The origin of the tradition of the man walking on the outside is twofold. 1. The streets were muddy and full of manure, the person on the outside was far more likely to be splashed. 2. In the event of trouble, it is far easier to protect someone who is between you and the wall, than someone between you and the attacker. It is not perfect, but it is a custom that reminds us of the principle that the function of strength is to protect and preserve, not to make life easier for the strong.
Here are examples where the Greek word (asthenes) is used: Mat26 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is _weak._ Luk10 And heal the _sick_ that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. Acts4 If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the _impotent_ man, by what means he is made whole. 1Cor11 For this cause many are _weak_ and sickly among you, and many sleep. Heb7 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the _weakness_ and unprofitableness thereof. Romans5 For when we were yet _without strength,_ in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
@@duncescotus2342 I am not denying scripture, so don’t be ignorant. Weakness in your example means a physical weakness like an ailment or disease; a “thorn in the flesh.” It does not mean being weak-minded or vacuous.
@@iFedericoFellini Ah. I thought you were being weak in the word. But since you're strong, you're good. Or not. Here's some other scriptures: "Christ was indeed crucified in weakness, but lives by the power of God." "The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." "God chose the weak things of this world to shame the strong." "He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man or the strength of a horse, but the LORD delights in those that fear Him, who put their hope in His unfailing love."
Men are not in counseling over being beaten; Boys are. Men learn from their defeats and gain strength from their weaknesses. Iron sharpens iron through impact.
Honor is definitely key to give our wives here, but you didnt answer the question. What makes them the weaker vessel? Interviewer even had to remind him of the question halfway through.
So why does God allow the women to live an average of 7 years longer than a man? So much elder abuse these days! That’s why God commands us to protect the widows and fatherless because they are vulnerable.
1 Tim 2:14...."Women was deceived not Adam". simply means that because she was deceived she must take a subordinate role. It's part of her punishment for being deceived. It does not mean that she is more gullible. If she has the Holy Spirit she is as wise and discerning as any man. And when it comes to this passage of scripture, she is more wise and discerning than some men here.
My wife and I have been married 25 years as of last week. Why? My mother told me that if I do what my wife tells me to do, everything will be fine. I asked if she had to do what I asked. My mother said, "No, because she's in charge."
That's not good advice. That sounds (at face value) as a relationship involving a weak man, which women instinctively hate. Even Genesis talks about how after the fall women will wish to rule and hold authority over men. (Or at least their husbands)
@@vibeauxssxuaebiv3489 My grandfather used to say that men need women, but women don't need men. Why do men need women? To keep them from doing stupid things. Such as the time my father was going to clean out metal gutters that were spilling over, while standing on a metal ladder, during a thunderstorm. Mind you, the man had a degree in science. My mother set him straight. Also, my mother the yellow-dog Republican turned my father, who grew up in a Democrat house, into a Goldwater/Reagan fanatic. Also, one reason why I feared my mother, was that she had the checkbook. I picked one of the most expensive colleges in the country to attend. Needless to say, I did what my mother told me, lest she wouldn't pay tuition. My father just took away my set of keys to their car. But, as a very astute Methodist minister once said in a sermon, the Bible is full of conflicts and cannot be taken literally. One must read the whole tome and decide for himself what to follow.
@@kentfrederick8929 Your mother wasn't strong. Your father was weak. Know the difference. Forgive them both so you can overcome the spirit of the woman and truth to God.
My mother would have called you a fool. When she was a teenager, she was facing the prospect of a Japanese invasion with consequent murder and rape. The reason that she did not have to face that, was because her Father, Uncles, Cousins and her future Husband were in places like New Guinea, fighting. She never forgot that. Women are only “equal” when there are men around to do the heavy lifting , or they have technology invented and built by men, to do the same. I’d rather be me than you.
Men image the aspect of God's Power. Women do not. This is not a fault, but a feature that contrasts the two. Women image other aspects of God that men do not. Men are to respect the aspects of God the woman images, without treating her like an inferior male.
Honestly you don’t need a video for this. Watch a race between the sexes, or watch people lift. God made men stronger, and faster. also more rational. Women may be emotional stronger but that’s not my point.
It pains me to suffer through your videos. The feminized Church has been shaped by the world and has diverged so far from the word of God that it can only be described as heresy. Personally, I don't know a single Christian, man or woman, who would not be offended by your videos. I don't know a single Church whose leadership would not cringe at your "confrontational" approach. Women, we are told, are strong and independent. Women don't need a man or want chivalry. Even the women who claim to reject feminism are more feminist than Christian. Our culture has become so feminized that it is like water to a fish. Few people realize just how many feminist ideas (anti-Biblical) they have absorbed. Feminism is killing, not just the West's Judeo-Christian heritage, but the Church itself.
I'm a Christian man. I don't get offended by anything. We need to guide and protect our women like God and Christ guide and protect Men. Women are more easily deceived by Satan as the weaker vessel.
@@exorius Who is really the weaker vessel? Need I remind that Adam also disobeyed God and followed the so-called "weaker vessel"? We don't need protection. We need to be treated as equals, even if we are weaker. We deserve respect just as much. Think about all the hardships we have to go through just to bring life into the world, and really, it's our choice. Even if men can forcibly impregnate us, we can easily abort. We're able to survive larger amounts of stress and famine longer. While you have physical strength, we have endurance. Yes, physical strength was given to males to protect the female during childcare to ensure reproduction, but that was it. When we're not giving birth or caring for a child, we don't need that. We're independent, and we can fight our own battles, because we're not in the vulnerable state of pregnancy. Our immune systems, endurance, and stress capacity is higher because we're designed to survive it all for the sake of being able to care for offspring. As for more surviving females in the womb with less chance of genetic disorders, that just has to do with having two x chromosomes. Having just one is essential for life. The longer lifespan has to do with multiple factors and the fact that females take less risks, because we know health is important for beating offspring. Even for those of us who aren't bearing offspring, that natural instinct and those abilities are still in us today.
@@exorius That's a lie! woman are not weaker spiritually nor mentally. Scripture says that Eve was deceived as one of the reasons she can't teach but that does not mean that women are more easily deceived, it means that because of that deception that was a reason for her punishment. men are easily deceived by women. Look at Samson.
Malarkey!!!! I never feared my father. My mother scared me to death. And as I got older, my mother's language about the Democrats got rather salty. My grandfather was not the the disciplinarian. My grandmother was, and she slapped my mother, aunts, and uncles. My father-in-law has a pretty low tolerance for pain. My mother-in-law has an incredibly high tolerance for pain.
Because you are fearful does not mean your mother was strong. It means you are weak and need to forgive your mother for turning you away from God. And forgive your father for not protecting you.
@@exorius A. The reason I feared my mother was she had the checkbook. I heard threats such, "I could not pay the extra cost for you on the car insurance," or "Would you like to pay for college yourself?" B. My mother made sure I was a Methodist. She also turned my father into a Methodist. He was never baptized or taken to church because my grandmother (a Presbyterian) and my grandfather (a Baptist) would never set foot in each other's churches. Since my grandfather wouldn't let my grandmother drive, she couldn't go to church by myself. The thing is that women are strong, because the need to be strong. Think Margaret Thatcher or Golda Meier. Men are often strong because they think they need to be macho. Just because something is in the Bible doesn't mean it applies in the 21st Century. After all, many a Biblical figure owned slaves. Yet, the abolitionist movement before the Civil War was very much a Christian movement.
If we take the Scripture seriously then we should notice in the creation story that woman was made for man and not the other way around. St. Paul, of course, reiterates this. Hence, the woman's divinely appointed role is to help and assist the man. Modernity gets this exactly backwards and contemporary Christian teaching buys into the secularist notion that a man is to serve his wife and meet her needs. This is a prescription for societal disaster. At least Muslims are right on this issue.
You are not correct. If you look at Paul's instructions to men - a man is to care, nurture, feed, clean, even give up his life for her. A woman being a help meet is more than "assistant", it is his rescue. If you value how an errant religion treats women, you really are on the wrong track.
@@edbenjamin5136 How, according to Scripture does woman rescue man? By the way, have you ever noticed the Apostolic statements that a godly wife is to "obey" her husband, to dress modestly, to have a quiet and gentle demeanor and spirit (not contentious), and to manage her household and children in a godly fashion? Have you noticed the Apostolic statement that a woman will be "saved through" faithfulness in child bearing and rearing? These were not idle statements by the Apostles meant only for the ancient world.
And yet the apostle said that older widows were happier if they remain single. Women do not have to be married to please God. Men also do not have to be married to please God. God made marriage for man and woman, he did not make man and woman for marriage. I think this Wilson cult makes a god out of marriage.
@@bestpossibleworld2091 It's the same word God uses to describe how he rescues people. Meanwhile, have you noticed the command for men to not be angry, contentious, divisive, but to lift up holy hands in worship? To stop suckling milk and eat spiritual meat? That husbands must be willing to do domestic style activities to love, feed, care for, and nurture their wives? To respect the wife as co-heir so a man's prayers are not hindered? To sacrifice his very life for her? These are not idle statements.
@@bestpossibleworld2091 Don't forget in Ephesians 5 that husbands are to wash their wives in the word. This means that one of the requirements of headship is being able to guide your family spiritually which is to apply God's standards. There's a reason Paul compares the Christ/church relationship with the husband/wife relationship.
Oh, swing and a miss. "Can't you read?" says Doug, as he fails to read. Paul does not say to honor women as weaker vessels. It says to live according to understanding with them as weaker vessels. We honor them as fellow heirs of grace. This is NOT honoring a fragile vase because the honor is tied to its value as a fragile item.
@@skimble62 The distinction is as I said. The reason is as I said. Doug is claiming that the text says to honor the woman as the weaker vessel. It does not. We honor her as a fellow heir, but we "live according to knowledge" with her as the weaker vessel. The distinction is that honor is not tied to her being weaker. Doug uses a fragile artifact as an example of something we honor because of its characteristics. But that is not what the text is saying. We honor her because she is a co-heir, not because she is weaker. Her weakness is tied to man's obligation to live with her in an understanding way. "Live with an alcoholic in an understanding way, honoring him as a brother in Christ." That doesn't mean I honor him because he's an alcoholic. It means I need to be understanding of his situation. The honor is tied to him being a Christian.
Here’s a tip for you: if you actually want other Christian people to listen to a correction you’re trying to make, then maybe try following your own advice. Should you not also show honor to those who are fellow heirs of grace? Anyway, any point you tried to make us nullified by your poor presentation. By the way, it was Peter, not Paul. Who’s not reading now?
@@makobean just to reiterate. The text does say honor in other translations than ESV. I like ESV as well, but it’s clearly translated differently in different English versions, I’m curious what the Greek says.
I've encountered some female marines and army personnel and I'd love to watch you call them a weaker vessel. Not to mention a 16 year old Yazidi girl who picked up an AK to fight isis.
@@Parks179-h if they're brave enough to go some of the places I've put them I'm not going to call them weak. Yeah your average chick probably can't ruck or lift like most men but some will surprise you and when a 16 year old girl has enough cajones to do what quite a bit of dudes probably wouldn't I get a little put off by people dismissing women in general as weak. Especially this lardo holy roller on TH-cam.
@@graysonwilcox8015 you’re misunderstanding something. No one said women are weak. That’s absurd. The statement is that they are the “weaker vessel” comparatively speaking. I get your point that women are strong in many ways and would agree if we were to get into the specifics of it all. However, to send a woman into war when their enemies are men, is to give our enemy a thing to exploit, which is in the case, basic biology. What you have formed is a straw man. A misrepresentation of what have formally been given in argument. You have not addressed the actually problem here. You have only appeared too. Nevertheless, a husband is to honor his wife as a weaker vessel. The fact that this country believes they ought to send women to the frontlines in a war says more about the degradation of this country than it does about women.
@@Parks179-h what I have a problem with is this messed up ideology that wants to put a theological basis behind women being inherently inferior to men when I've seen it to be demonstrably untrue. It's at best a generalization that people take way too far and at worst an excuse to treat people differently based on what they have between their legs. This is an all volunteer force nobody is shipping women off involuntarily to fight on the front lines women are now allowed into combat roles that they previously weren't allowed into. And regardless of what Doug wilson or you or me or anybody else thinks about it some women can hack it. Anybody that can hack it and is willing to gear up and do what I've seen them do is not weak. If they put on the uniform and head out to play with the boys, I've seen firsthand some of them do alright. If that rubs somebody the wrong way because of their preconceived notions of what men and women are capable of they can build a bridge and get over it. People are people and they're very different. Men and women are different, but what qualities define what somebody is capable of comes down to a lot more than just your private bits or upper body strength including in warfare.
You're delusional. Compared to male marines, the females are indeed the weaker vessel. Besides, tons of Yazidi women were raped and enslaved because their men couldn't protect them from Isis. Just take a look at what the Taliban are doing with the women in Afghanistan. You're the typical big mouth, sheltered, protected, and entitled Western feminist. Instead, to be triggered by the truth, why don't you instead go to Afghanistan and play the female Rambo there? You can prove to the Taliban that women are not the weaker vessel. Face the facts, you wouldn't last a second with your feminist antics in Afghanistan. It's clear as day, you're a protected and spoiled Western woman, that is clueless about what it means to be a woman in a highly patriarchal society.
Men in this culture are very intimidated by the lack of weakness in women, we are life givers, far mentally more capable than men as well as mentally and emotionally stronger. Men are physically stronger. That’s it 😂 So when you get enough intimidated men together, you get this tripe.
The view that women are mentally and emotionally stronger than men would not, in the least way, be sexist, would it? These men are talking about Biblical truth, not their own inventions of ideas.
Women aren't only weaker physically but also spiritually. That's how the serpent deceived Eve. Men are to guide and protect Women as God and Christ guide and protect Men.
LIES! Women are not spiritually weaker. They have the same Holy Spirit as a man. They have all of the gifts of the Spirit. They are members of the one and same body. Women along with men are a royal priesthood, a holy nation. They are as fully equipped spiritually as men are. They lack NOTHING!
She can't keep a good secret like the Gospel to herself. She's liable to spread it around too far. She's going to gossip her way into the neighbor's love. Um, she can't be good and philosophical when emotion is called for? Her-meneutics? I dunno. Do I have to watch another Doug Wilson video?

The spirit molecule within the mtDNA man receives comes from woman. Proverbs 3:18 Grab hold of wisdom fir she is the tree of life. Revelations 22:17 The spirit and the bride same come. All see life come from her body. Her spirit lives. When women awaken to what man has dine men will see strength is in the spirit not him
He’s talking about the woman being the weaker vessel because she is not a believer (weaker in faith), thus the “likewise” in verse 1 and 7. Not because she’s a weaker human being than a man is. 🤦🏼♀️ Good grief. You’re really grasping at straws to maintain power and control over women. (By using Scripture, ie. spiritual abuse) This is not what Christ would do. He actually loved women equally and cherished them mightily.
Did you listen to what he said? When did he say that we should love and cherish women? Did you not hear him say the exact opposite, that we should love and cherish women because of the difference in strength?
@@bonnievoves3360 Yes, I know. This entire discussion is about that passage. You seem to claim that Mr. Wilson is not loving and cherishing women equally when you say "[Jesus] actually loved and cherished them mightily." And I'm saying that if that's what you thought Mr. Wilson's message was then you've entirely missed the point. - all with love, God bless
I stumbled upon this video by accident. How delusional can you be? Also, who in here has spoken to Peter or anyone in the Bible you follow from thousands of years ago? I’d love to know.
//How delusional can you be?// We can be very delusional, every one of us. But to ask a question is not to make a claim; at most it is to insinuate a claim. Have you a claim you wish to make? Cheers!
What part is delusional and what is the truth in relation to which it to be deemed ‘delusional’? I also do not understand the relevance of the last question. Though we can’t speak to him, he spoke (wrote) to us.

Great book.
No other world religion/worldview is as good to women as Christianity. I’m all for real chivalry because it comes from a place of respect and value.
Yeah I would say the worst religion to women atleast mainstream one is Islam heaven is literally only described for men 72 virgins lol Islam is really a whore monger religion
I agree and would add that no other world religion/worldview is as good to human beings as Christianity!
Absolutely! I was brainwashed into believing Christianity was harmful and degrading to women until i picked up The Bible and read it myself to discover just the opposite. Christianity teaches us how important and precious the role of women and true femininity is, as i grow in my faith i grow in my feminine power and ability and honour the position The Lord calls me to have in my family and society. God is so good. 💙
Berber women have it really good.
Yeah its the height of irony when people say the Bible is misogynistic. Besides the fact, that quite simply, I do not give a rats 🍑 when it comes unbelievers standards by which they judge the bible, they couldn’t be more wrong.
The wife submits to the husband who SERVES her as Christ served the church. It’s reciporcal.
So much honor in being Biblical men and women. Thank you pastors Wilson and Merkle for discussing it.
And many non-Christians will twist this around and say the Bible is sexist... Heck, many CHRISTIANS will twist this around, and take the preceding verse "Wives, honour your husbands" and neglect the verse right after that says "Husbands, honour your wives". We must always be vigilant :)
So refreshing to hear the truth about husbands and wives.
Another not so known note on etiquette:
Men are to lead when walking down the stairs and they trail their wife when walking up the stairs so as to be there in case she were to fall and to avoid potentially falling on her.
Wow, I gotta remember this one
Not my wife. 240, maybe 250.
@@duncescotus2342 It's your duty to cushion the fall.
In Islam and Hinduism, the woman walks behind her husband at a distance with the children. This reinforces the leadership role of the husband and father over the family. Most Western women (even Christians) find this offensive. However, I can pretty much guarantee this is how Abraham and Sarah acted and it is likely that Mary walked behind Joseph.
This one is actually a pretty common one for me. My wife has neuropathy in her feet and dislikes heights, so it's distinctly safer for me to walk behind/in front of her in the respective scenarios.
I also wanted to say that, per Philippians 4:5, Doug's gentleness is quite evident here. God Bless him richly.
Rob Roy tells his son honor is the gift a man gives himself. His son asks do women have honor? Rob Roy says women are the heart of honor. When a man protects a woman he serves honor.
I read on the web a woman is like a glass chandelier... fragile, but beautiful and precious. One could build it strong.. weld a steel frame, build it out of thick wood, but it wouldnt be beautiful or precious to us. We honour what is precious to us. A Womans beauty is her soft fragility, like a flower. We take care of flowers and do not think of them as weak, but only as beautiful, precious and how sad it would be if they didnt exist.
How William Wordsworth honored his sister:
The Sparrow’s Nest
By William Wordsworth (1770-1850)
BEHOLD, within the leafy shade,
Those bright blue eggs together laid
On me the chance-discovered sight
Gleamed like a vision of delight.
I started-seeming to espy 5
The home and sheltered bed,
The Sparrow’s dwelling, which, hard by
My father’s house, in wet or dry
My Sister Emmeline and I
Together visited. 10
She looked at it and seemed to fear it;
Dreading, tho’ wishing to be near it:
Such heart was in her, being then
A little Prattler among men.
The Blessing of my later years 15
Was with me when a Boy:
She gave me eyes, she gave me ears;
And humble cares, and delicate fears;
A heart, the fountain of sweet tears;
And love, and thought, and joy.
I could listen to this Man all day
Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms out there.
Brilliant commentary, thank you for it.

Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joint and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intent of the heart.
Galatians 5:19-23
Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleaness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; which I told you beforehand, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

Therefore if you hate me, the love of God is not in you. 1 John 4:20

Bring forth your strong case, and tell me, where is my deceit? Do I say these things for selfish reasons, to boast? Is my fruit of the Spirit or of the flesh; Galatians5:19-23? In what way have I offended my God? In what way have I reviled you, spoken evil of you, defamed your character?
Lift your voice to the heavens and declare it against me. That the Lord my God, may chastise me harshly for my iniquity.
But if no evil is found. repent of your reviling against me, outburst of wrath and hatred you have shown to others as well. That it may not be held against you. Not for my sake, but for your salivations sake. Matthew 5:22
Spoken like a true man of God.
Watching this again after a few years. It occurs to me that another intrinsic weakness of women is related to their particular part in human reproduction. The menstrual cycle, pregnancy, post-partum recovery, and breastfeeding cause women to be indisposed in various degrees to the kind of laborious tasks involved in certain occupations, warfare, and travel (real travel not combustion engines strapped to lay-z-boys travel) etc.. This weakness is a glorious thing, and of course deserves honor. While on the subject of the relationship between women's weakness and honor I would suggest that the physical weakness of the female body, it's softness if you will, is directly related to feminine beauty. The masculine body is not beautiful precisely because of it's hardness. Even the trans people understand this. Which is why so called "trans men' seek to pad out particular areas of their bodies. [TH-cam may now cancel me. Goodbye]
Thank you for all of your hard work Doug
My father is has bo gentleness or love towards me or my mom but he sure knows verses memorized from the Bible. Please pray for him to have a real convergence to the Lord.

There is an inexhaustible supply of wisdom within the Bible. Some discern more deeply within it than others. Sadly, some hear with their ears but do not listen with their heart.
"Who hath ears to hear, let him hear." Matthew 13:9-16 KJV

Thank you for explaining that! So insightful 😊✨
When Peter says to Honor the weaker vessel. Referring to your wife.
Does this not mean to PROTECT.
When we Honor something or someone do we not Protect it.
Like the Honorable Judge or The Honorable President.
People in Honorable positions, are they not protected from enemies.
Similarly, we Honor the weaker vessel. Women because they are in position of Honor. They are The Glory of Man who is the Glory of God.
As Men, we are not in this position. Well we shouldn't be at least
Thank you for that invaluable insight. How wonderfully explained 🙏

No disagreement with your insights, but I think it's vitally important to this conversation to include the first command in the text, as it brings clarity to the phrase 'showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel'. '7...husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way...' - I don't think it's likely that would have been necessary to say if the 'weakness' he had in mind was physical, especially in those days when the 'strength' of women was NEVER depended upon. The requirement for understanding by husbands clearly points to emotional & cognitive differences between men and women.
John Piper recently answered this very same question in his Ask Pastor John series!
1 Peter 3:7
Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.
Within and without marriage this subject takes various turns. Within and without Church circles this takes different forms. Basically strength vs weakness is realized through living empirically I say. You'll see
Honor and dishonor make a big difference 🙂✌️❤️
Just beautiful ❤️
A counter cultural discourse, indeed.
I think God made women a little less warrior-like so men would automatically want to protect women. In turn, we woman need physically stronger 'warriors' and/or 'wealth building' men so we can feel secure as we have and raise our children. Of course there are exceptions to typical males and females, and we need to have room in our society for 'misfits' without making them feel wrong or lesser creatures. Humans, religious or humanist, tend to like to 'cull' misfits out of their 'tribe'. This is wrong of course, but, a very real human tendency.
So good
You ever done a study of the word cherish? Where is the balance to where you cherish a wife without tipping scale in making her feel like she is now to be reverenced and become the center of universe?
Brilliant explanation.
Amazing
Wonderful explanation.
Love this topic
I believe in the inerrant scriptures, but its rather hard to apply the weaker vessel theology in the US in 2023. Its been my experience that that women are hardly weak now. Most men I know are terrified of their wives who have the whip hand over them thanks to the divorce laws. Men are ciphers in the home and have no power at all. My fine Christian wife divorced me for failing to obey her orders and virtually ran off with my last penny after being viscious with me for years. Maybe the weakness the apostle was talking about was the half-insane emotions and irrationality that most women are burdened with.
I am truly sorry to hear that. May God lead your wife in repentance from her sin. The weakness in mind is certainly a part of what the apostle is speaking about. Women are not only weaker physically. They are more easily damaged by stress, more easily afraid, and more easily deceived by the devil. They need clear male guidance, in marriage and elsewhere. Sadly they often get the opposite, and have their misguided notions encouraged. Fathers, husbands, and pastors all need to turn this around.
Good stuff.
I've always understood that this passage shouldn't focus just the word weaker, but must include the vessel as well. Thus "weaker vessel" is not so much about the "weakness" of women as much as comparing a sturdy but rather dull clay jar (men) to a finer, more valuable but fragile porcelain jar (women). Thus honoring the wife is not about her weakness, but her value.
Biblically the husband (the man) is NOT seen as a dull crude "jar" as compared to the fine porcelain of a woman. Biblically, the man is seen as the prototype of the human from which the woman is drawn. Man is, therefore, the glory of God, whereas woman is the glory of man. This concept is so strong in the Bible that St. Paul states that it is offensive for women to uncover their heads in God's holy presence in the church. Of course, Protestant Evangelicals, being such strong "Bible believing Christians" that they ignore this strong biblical teaching and allow women to flaunt their uncovered heads in God's presence in worship. St. Paul indicates that this offends the angels, but modern Christians are more immersed in Fourth Wave Feminism than Biblical Christianity.
No, it's just her weakness. Nice job twisting scripture to make it more palatable....no one ever did that before.
It's implying that man is a vessel too.
So thus the difference is weakness
@@democratpro that makes no sense lol
How do you honour weakness?
And yes it is about value, as we see throughout the bible a wife is valuable.
beautiful.
Weak in
resisting temptation.
Can be easily deceived.
In physical and mental strength.
In decisiveness.
It is complementary to a man.
Well said!
Love it thank you
I agree with your destination, but differ a bit with your route. The word is not weak-ness, but weak-er. One of you in this video is looking for "the weakness." The idea is delicate, fragile. She is more like a valuable and delicate piece of China than a plastic tumbler. Think of the handling of and uses for each. Quite a difference. Clearly one is special, the other, common. Honor, protect from violence, take special care for. I think: Weak-er in certain ways, but strong in ways we men often do not take note of.
Not only a great explanation of the text, but a way to understand why Christian men would rather remain single than marry a feminist.
Truth
This is not trolling, but at 5:22 I am nodding impatiently and waiting for the substance, the quiet part that needs to be said. Any man worth a lick knows to walk on the road side :). Say the hard part please. We have lost sight of it completely even in Christendom.
Not true. What’s he going to do, save her from being hit by a car by throwing his own body at it?
Even if so, it’s easier to pull out and fling out of the way than push.
Far more likely to have something done by the passerby in the middle of the sidewalk.
I’ll use logic and reason, you can use tradition. Lol
Chivalry tradition is mostly just show. Just like God, women don’t like a works based relationship either…at least not mine.
The origin of the tradition of the man walking on the outside is twofold.
1. The streets were muddy and full of manure, the person on the outside was far more likely to be splashed.
2. In the event of trouble, it is far easier to protect someone who is between you and the wall, than someone between you and the attacker.
It is not perfect, but it is a custom that reminds us of the principle that the function of strength is to protect and preserve, not to make life easier for the strong.
The fragile fine china gets honor in the cabinet.

Acts4 If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the _impotent_ man, by what means he is made whole.
1Cor11 For this cause many are _weak_ and sickly among you, and many sleep.
Heb7 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the _weakness_ and unprofitableness thereof.
Romans5 For when we were yet _without strength,_ in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

"God chose the weak things of this world to shame the strong."
"He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man or the strength of a horse, but the LORD delights in those that fear Him, who put their hope in His unfailing love."

It does not mean that she is more gullible. If she has the Holy Spirit she is as wise and discerning as any man. And when it comes to this passage of scripture, she is more wise and discerning than some men here.

My wife and I have been married 25 years as of last week. Why? My mother told me that if I do what my wife tells me to do, everything will be fine.
I asked if she had to do what I asked. My mother said, "No, because she's in charge."
That's not good advice. That sounds (at face value) as a relationship involving a weak man, which women instinctively hate. Even Genesis talks about how after the fall women will wish to rule and hold authority over men. (Or at least their husbands)

My mother set him straight.
Also, my mother the yellow-dog Republican turned my father, who grew up in a Democrat house, into a Goldwater/Reagan fanatic.
Also, one reason why I feared my mother, was that she had the checkbook. I picked one of the most expensive colleges in the country to attend. Needless to say, I did what my mother told me, lest she wouldn't pay tuition. My father just took away my set of keys to their car.

It pains me to suffer through your videos. The feminized Church has been shaped by the world and has diverged so far from the word of God that it can only be described as heresy. Personally, I don't know a single Christian, man or woman, who would not be offended by your videos. I don't know a single Church whose leadership would not cringe at your "confrontational" approach. Women, we are told, are strong and independent. Women don't need a man or want chivalry. Even the women who claim to reject feminism are more feminist than Christian. Our culture has become so feminized that it is like water to a fish. Few people realize just how many feminist ideas (anti-Biblical) they have absorbed. Feminism is killing, not just the West's Judeo-Christian heritage, but the Church itself.
I'm a Christian man. I don't get offended by anything. We need to guide and protect our women like God and Christ guide and protect Men. Women are more easily deceived by Satan as the weaker vessel.
@@exorius Who is really the weaker vessel? Need I remind that Adam also disobeyed God and followed the so-called "weaker vessel"? We don't need protection. We need to be treated as equals, even if we are weaker. We deserve respect just as much. Think about all the hardships we have to go through just to bring life into the world, and really, it's our choice. Even if men can forcibly impregnate us, we can easily abort. We're able to survive larger amounts of stress and famine longer. While you have physical strength, we have endurance. Yes, physical strength was given to males to protect the female during childcare to ensure reproduction, but that was it. When we're not giving birth or caring for a child, we don't need that. We're independent, and we can fight our own battles, because we're not in the vulnerable state of pregnancy. Our immune systems, endurance, and stress capacity is higher because we're designed to survive it all for the sake of being able to care for offspring. As for more surviving females in the womb with less chance of genetic disorders, that just has to do with having two x chromosomes. Having just one is essential for life. The longer lifespan has to do with multiple factors and the fact that females take less risks, because we know health is important for beating offspring. Even for those of us who aren't bearing offspring, that natural instinct and those abilities are still in us today.

Anecdotal evidence doesn't disprove the rule.
Because you are fearful does not mean your mother was strong. It means you are weak and need to forgive your mother for turning you away from God. And forgive your father for not protecting you.
@@exorius A. The reason I feared my mother was she had the checkbook. I heard threats such, "I could not pay the extra cost for you on the car insurance," or "Would you like to pay for college yourself?"
B. My mother made sure I was a Methodist. She also turned my father into a Methodist. He was never baptized or taken to church because my grandmother (a Presbyterian) and my grandfather (a Baptist) would never set foot in each other's churches. Since my grandfather wouldn't let my grandmother drive, she couldn't go to church by myself.
The thing is that women are strong, because the need to be strong. Think Margaret Thatcher or Golda Meier.
Men are often strong because they think they need to be macho.
Just because something is in the Bible doesn't mean it applies in the 21st Century. After all, many a Biblical figure owned slaves. Yet, the abolitionist movement before the Civil War was very much a Christian movement.

JLP?
If we take the Scripture seriously then we should notice in the creation story that woman was made for man and not the other way around. St. Paul, of course, reiterates this. Hence, the woman's divinely appointed role is to help and assist the man. Modernity gets this exactly backwards and contemporary Christian teaching buys into the secularist notion that a man is to serve his wife and meet her needs. This is a prescription for societal disaster. At least Muslims are right on this issue.
You are not correct. If you look at Paul's instructions to men - a man is to care, nurture, feed, clean, even give up his life for her. A woman being a help meet is more than "assistant", it is his rescue. If you value how an errant religion treats women, you really are on the wrong track.
@@edbenjamin5136 How, according to Scripture does woman rescue man? By the way, have you ever noticed the Apostolic statements that a godly wife is to "obey" her husband, to dress modestly, to have a quiet and gentle demeanor and spirit (not contentious), and to manage her household and children in a godly fashion? Have you noticed the Apostolic statement that a woman will be "saved through" faithfulness in child bearing and rearing? These were not idle statements by the Apostles meant only for the ancient world.
And yet the apostle said that older widows were happier if they remain single. Women do not have to be married to please God. Men also do not have to be married to please God. God made marriage for man and woman, he did not make man and woman for marriage. I think this Wilson cult makes a god out of marriage.
@@bestpossibleworld2091 It's the same word God uses to describe how he rescues people. Meanwhile, have you noticed the command for men to not be angry, contentious, divisive, but to lift up holy hands in worship? To stop suckling milk and eat spiritual meat? That husbands must be willing to do domestic style activities to love, feed, care for, and nurture their wives? To respect the wife as co-heir so a man's prayers are not hindered? To sacrifice his very life for her? These are not idle statements.
@@bestpossibleworld2091 Don't forget in Ephesians 5 that husbands are to wash their wives in the word. This means that one of the requirements of headship is being able to guide your family spiritually which is to apply God's standards. There's a reason Paul compares the Christ/church relationship with the husband/wife relationship.
Oh, swing and a miss. "Can't you read?" says Doug, as he fails to read.
Paul does not say to honor women as weaker vessels. It says to live according to understanding with them as weaker vessels. We honor them as fellow heirs of grace. This is NOT honoring a fragile vase because the honor is tied to its value as a fragile item.
Different translations use honor. Such as the geneva Bible.
It would be helpful if you extracted the distinction and explained why you think Doug is incorrect.
@@skimble62 The distinction is as I said. The reason is as I said.
Doug is claiming that the text says to honor the woman as the weaker vessel. It does not. We honor her as a fellow heir, but we "live according to knowledge" with her as the weaker vessel.
The distinction is that honor is not tied to her being weaker. Doug uses a fragile artifact as an example of something we honor because of its characteristics. But that is not what the text is saying. We honor her because she is a co-heir, not because she is weaker. Her weakness is tied to man's obligation to live with her in an understanding way.
"Live with an alcoholic in an understanding way, honoring him as a brother in Christ." That doesn't mean I honor him because he's an alcoholic. It means I need to be understanding of his situation. The honor is tied to him being a Christian.
Here’s a tip for you: if you actually want other Christian people to listen to a correction you’re trying to make, then maybe try following your own advice. Should you not also show honor to those who are fellow heirs of grace? Anyway, any point you tried to make us nullified by your poor presentation. By the way, it was Peter, not Paul. Who’s not reading now?
@@makobean just to reiterate. The text does say honor in other translations than ESV. I like ESV as well, but it’s clearly translated differently in different English versions, I’m curious what the Greek says.
I've encountered some female marines and army personnel and I'd love to watch you call them a weaker vessel. Not to mention a 16 year old Yazidi girl who picked up an AK to fight isis.
Have you noticed that units with mixed sexes perform worse the units with “all men” too? This is basic biology, man.
@@Parks179-h if they're brave enough to go some of the places I've put them I'm not going to call them weak. Yeah your average chick probably can't ruck or lift like most men but some will surprise you and when a 16 year old girl has enough cajones to do what quite a bit of dudes probably wouldn't I get a little put off by people dismissing women in general as weak. Especially this lardo holy roller on TH-cam.
@@graysonwilcox8015 you’re misunderstanding something. No one said women are weak. That’s absurd. The statement is that they are the “weaker vessel” comparatively speaking.
I get your point that women are strong in many ways and would agree if we were to get into the specifics of it all. However, to send a woman into war when their enemies are men, is to give our enemy a thing to exploit, which is in the case, basic biology. What you have formed is a straw man. A misrepresentation of what have formally been given in argument. You have not addressed the actually problem here. You have only appeared too. Nevertheless, a husband is to honor his wife as a weaker vessel.
The fact that this country believes they ought to send women to the frontlines in a war says more about the degradation of this country than it does about women.
@@Parks179-h what I have a problem with is this messed up ideology that wants to put a theological basis behind women being inherently inferior to men when I've seen it to be demonstrably untrue. It's at best a generalization that people take way too far and at worst an excuse to treat people differently based on what they have between their legs. This is an all volunteer force nobody is shipping women off involuntarily to fight on the front lines women are now allowed into combat roles that they previously weren't allowed into. And regardless of what Doug wilson or you or me or anybody else thinks about it some women can hack it. Anybody that can hack it and is willing to gear up and do what I've seen them do is not weak. If they put on the uniform and head out to play with the boys, I've seen firsthand some of them do alright. If that rubs somebody the wrong way because of their preconceived notions of what men and women are capable of they can build a bridge and get over it. People are people and they're very different. Men and women are different, but what qualities define what somebody is capable of comes down to a lot more than just your private bits or upper body strength including in warfare.
You're delusional. Compared to male marines, the females are indeed the weaker vessel. Besides, tons of Yazidi women were raped and enslaved because their men couldn't protect them from Isis. Just take a look at what the Taliban are doing with the women in Afghanistan. You're the typical big mouth, sheltered, protected, and entitled Western feminist. Instead, to be triggered by the truth, why don't you instead go to Afghanistan and play the female Rambo there? You can prove to the Taliban that women are not the weaker vessel. Face the facts, you wouldn't last a second with your feminist antics in Afghanistan. It's clear as day, you're a protected and spoiled Western woman, that is clueless about what it means to be a woman in a highly patriarchal society.
Men in this culture are very intimidated by the lack of weakness in women, we are life givers, far mentally more capable than men as well as mentally and emotionally stronger. Men are physically stronger. That’s it 😂
So when you get enough intimidated men together, you get this tripe.
Why are you here if you disregard the Lord?
The view that women are mentally and emotionally stronger than men would not, in the least way, be sexist, would it?
These men are talking about Biblical truth, not their own inventions of ideas.
@@bk1bennett Biblical truth is an oxymoron. Nothing in the Bible is or ever will be true.
Sooo true! The apostle is merely talking about physical weakness. She is the weaker vessel physically, that's it.
This is an unserious position, just more “rah rah feminism” garbage.
This is the most BS explanation non explanation. Dancing around the topic like a politician. Spoke for 7 minutes and said rubbish.
I believe his intention was to have the listener consider the topic for themselves.
@@reillyliner thank you for being kind. You get a high five.
Exactly. All I heard was “I’m a man and I’m better than a woman and let me spew nonsensical fluff but oh yeah women are weak.”
Women aren't only weaker physically but also spiritually. That's how the serpent deceived Eve. Men are to guide and protect Women as God and Christ guide and protect Men.
LIES! Women are not spiritually weaker. They have the same Holy Spirit as a man. They have all of the gifts of the Spirit. They are members of the one and same body. Women along with men are a royal priesthood, a holy nation. They are as fully equipped spiritually as men are. They lack NOTHING!
She can't keep a good secret like the Gospel to herself. She's liable to spread it around too far. She's going to gossip her way into the neighbor's love. Um, she can't be good and philosophical when emotion is called for? Her-meneutics? I dunno. Do I have to watch another Doug Wilson video?
Weaker vessel... Man I don't see guys pushing out a watermelon sized being out of their lower hole.... Also have you seen guys try and key word TRY to handle a woman's period cramp.... Its beyond funny
Women always bragging about their curse like it's a good thing 😂
@@exorius judge much?
@@Ellier215 how is that judging? God cursed women with the pain of child birth and they think it's a good thing
@@exorius they don't brag about being on their period... It's normally guys who whenever a chick gets pissed she's automatically on her period... Despite sometimes its the guy being a douche
@@lukekarahan5758 more referring to the pain of childbirth not just periods.
This guy personifies what we don’t need in this world,mysoginistic,sexist and not Christlike
@Michael Lloyd Merichko you have no concept
Oh, no! A man dares to say that a woman needs provision and protection! How awful! How misogynist! Won't somebody save women from such a man!
I don’t know if this guy talks about the evil tribe, but if y’all ready for the next step go to Tru News podcast. It will name by actual name the evil people.
The spirit molecule within the mtDNA man receives comes from woman. Proverbs 3:18 Grab hold of wisdom fir she is the tree of life. Revelations 22:17 The spirit and the bride same come. All see life come from her body. Her spirit lives. When women awaken to what man has dine men will see strength is in the spirit not him
He’s talking about the woman being the weaker vessel because she is not a believer (weaker in faith), thus the “likewise” in verse 1 and 7. Not because she’s a weaker human being than a man is. 🤦🏼♀️ Good grief. You’re really grasping at straws to maintain power and control over women. (By using Scripture, ie. spiritual abuse) This is not what Christ would do. He actually loved women equally and cherished them mightily.
Did you listen to what he said? When did he say that we should love and cherish women? Did you not hear him say the exact opposite, that we should love and cherish women because of the difference in strength?
Adam Love - I was referencing Scripture. 1 Peter 3:7
@@bonnievoves3360 Yes, I know. This entire discussion is about that passage. You seem to claim that Mr. Wilson is not loving and cherishing women equally when you say "[Jesus] actually loved and cherished them mightily." And I'm saying that if that's what you thought Mr. Wilson's message was then you've entirely missed the point.
- all with love, God bless
What BS.
REFORMED THEOLOGY:✝️
Evangelical, toxic gynocentric, blue pill
🐂💩, to be exact! 👊😒🙄😤
I stumbled upon this video by accident. How delusional can you be? Also, who in here has spoken to Peter or anyone in the Bible you follow from thousands of years ago? I’d love to know.
//How delusional can you be?//
We can be very delusional, every one of us.
But to ask a question is not to make a claim; at most it is to insinuate a claim. Have you a claim you wish to make?
Cheers!
What part is delusional and what is the truth in relation to which it to be deemed ‘delusional’?
I also do not understand the relevance of the last question. Though we can’t speak to him, he spoke (wrote) to us.
Amen
