Recovering the Masculine Mind | Doug Wilson 

We're all in the same bucket and it makes me sad.

God’s judgement usually takes the form of God just leaving us alone to reap the consequences of our own bad decisions. It’s a lot more educational, convincing, and efficient

@@WideMouth Apparently Doug is unaware that prior to 1980, the vast majority of Protestantism was pro-choice. It was only when Jerry Falwell and Paul Weyrich decided to make it a political issue, that it became one.

@@manager0175lol

​@@manager0175 is there any documentation for this?

”Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?“ ‭‭Jonah‬ ‭3‬:‭9‬

You said: "This one however sounds great in theory but pretty hopeless in reality". You are correct. And we are better off without Doug's notions.

@@manager0175 Matthew 7:14 "...straight is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." Because people have not chosen love of Truth for their salvation, and the truth has not been modelled to them, they fall victim to subtle lies. Each subtle lie grows up and over us like a great bow and they mesh together until they block the light of truth from shining through from above into our consciousness. The result is we read certain scriptures and we can't see how they could possibly mean what they say, so because we are desperate for security and acceptance and love and respect, we go along with whatever our peer group claims to be the explanation for such scriptures so that we don't have to face our subversion and mal-socialisation. We are up against the common mind-set, which is Satanic-Matriarchal-Feminist-Macho-Bullshit, - in that order. We have to weed out one lie at a time and replace it with the best concept we can. Eventually you come out from under the common mind-set and the scriptures become definitive and authoritative. Then you're out on a limb because almost everyone is under the common mind-set to one degree or another. We have to become real believers not just professing Christians under a mind-set.

You said: "May the LORD greatly bless Pastor Wilson, and may the Kingdom be grown through his ministry". I agree. Let Doug stay in his Idaho sheltered enclave. But as he seeks political powers, I will work against him at every step.

​@@manager0175 why?

@@Theonly_Onyx Christian with political power has a very incompetent, sad, violent and destructive history. Take a look at the "European Wars of Religion" as a prime example. If you want more reasons, I can provide more.

@@Theonly_Onyx You are asking a question of someone who is possessed by a demon. The answer to your question is simple, manger0175 is evil. Review the other comments manager0175 has made on this site and you will understand.

In the US Constitution is the supremacy clause (Article VI, Paragraph 2..). Federal law supersedes state laws and state constitutions. You talk of "limited government". There is nothing more intrusive than governmental powers deciding what medical decisions can be made by women and their doctors.

As the government should when the subject is baby murder.

Wow, misogyny, racism, and dis--information in one entry. Well done. I am sure Doug would be proud. Does Doug want to take away women's right to vote? I know Jarret does.

You said: "If we return to covenant thinking.." Covenant thinking? I really do not care how you think. I care about what you do. And if history is an indication of what "covenant thinking" does, we only need to refer to the European Wars of Religion. Millions upon millions of Christians killing each other for centuries.

Exactly 👍

🤣 Quite a not you created, while twisting your words.

This sums up where we’re at today. The knowledge of how to actually do this hasn’t been passed down for a few generations. I think Doug and his friends do more than others to explain it out, but I also feel a long way off from the ideal

@@johnbillings2283 You said: "The knowledge of how to actually do this hasn’t been passed down for a few generations.". It all started with WWI. Everything we are dealing with today started then. As one big example: The Sykes Pecot Agreement (and Balfor Declaration) is what started the problems in the Middle East that continue today.

Romans 13, not 8.

Thanks, my bad

Widows became heads of households in such cases where they were confirmed as widows (see Paul's unpacking of this in 1 Timothy 5:9-16) They would be exceptions to the rule, not norms.

@@AndrewAdcock Yes, widows became heads of their households in lieu of a husband. Wilson is talking about representation in a congregational setting ( ie church or state relations ). In this case who represents their house in the assemblies?

@@BossBattle21 in the church, Pastor/Elders represent her household. In the State, the elected officials - all of which would be men who are heads of their own households. Their Fatherhood should produce a connection with the widows in the meaningful way that they seek the same ends - i.e. the promotion of the family and its well being.

@@AndrewAdcock Ok, with the state representation. Obviously it doesn't matter if it's widows or full families we have representatives fulfilling their duty for a large number of families. With the church though, depending on how the congregation is governed, putting all of the widows and their families under the authority of an elder (or possibly deacon) effectively disenfranchises those families from any kind of independent opinion.

Maybe the problem is thinking that families should be imposing “independent opinion” on the church…

Yes, that is the implication of his Patriarchialism.

Despite what people think, voting was reserved to those who had a stake in society. Property owners were generally the only ones allowed to vote because it was believed they wouldn't vote against the interests of society. Once people figured out they can vote themselves the rights to what other people have worked for, it was over. That is why women were not allowed to vote. They think with their emotions, not their logic. It has nothing to do with patriarchy. If feminists were as smart as they think they are they would realize how valued women are. The day you let Betty Friedan convince you that a man opening the door for you was sexist, it was over.

@@davidrisselada6199 Wait till they figure out "She is Risen" is the logical implication of preterism and the resurrection fulfilled. Talking about collapsing the entire Moscow project from the preterism they promote. So ironic.

He's a nut case as well as dangerous. His views of women are sick and shocking. He also believes that men should be able to rape their wives. “Of course a husband is never trespassing in his own garden.” A “woman receives, surrenders, accepts”. Evil!

This is the old covenant pattern that is at the heart of the Moscow Project. Nailed it!

No connection whatsoever. Morris was vv o k e

@@cosmictreason2242I don’t know about him being woke, but his theology was deceived

@@cosmictreason2242 how was Morris woke?? He was one of Trump’s spiritual advisors!

@@aallen5256 i don't know a single solid Christian pastor that was his spiritual advisor

@@cosmictreason2242 oh right, so how was Morris woke??

That view of Hosea 6:7 seems to be the minority view. The MT reads כְּאָדָם (keʾadam, “like Adam” or “as [sinful] men”); however, the editors of BHS suggest this reflects an orthographic confusion of בְּאָדָם (beʾadam, “at Adam”), as suggested by the locative adverb שָׁם (sham, “there”) in the following line. However, שָׁם sometimes functions in a nonlocative sense similar to the deictic particle הִנֵּה (hinneh, “Behold!”). The singular noun אָדָם (ʾadam) has been taken in several different ways: (1) proper name: “like Adam” (כְּאָדָם), (2) collective singular: “like [sinful] men” (כְּאָדָם), and (3) proper location: “at Adam,” referring to a city in the Jordan Valley (Josh 3:16), emending comparative כְּ (kaf) to locative בְּ (bet, “at”): “at Adam” (בְּאָדָם). BDB 9 s.v. אָדָם 2 suggests the collective sense, referring to sinful men (Num 5:6; 1 Kgs 8:46; 2 Chr 6:36; Jer 10:14; Job 31:33; Hos 6:7). The English versions are divided: KJV margin, ASV, RSV margin, NASB, NIV, TEV margin, NLT “like Adam”; RSV, NRSV, TEV “at Adam”; and KJV “like men.” So, you have to change the text of Scripture to get LOCATION. - I'd be interested in reading what the LXX says though.

Okay, interesting, the LXX translates as "they are as a (sinful) man" - not locative. αὐτοὶ δέ εἰσιν ὡς ἄνθρωπος παραβαίνων διαθήκην ἐκεῖ κατεφρόνησέν μου

@@AndrewAdcock you are absolutely right right sir. It is the minority view. Most reformed folk today are covenantalist, and thus I reflects that very few would argue for my position, however if you look at the passage carefully, you'd see that two other geographical places (a city and region) are named and the city of Adam was right in the middle of both. You couldn't get from one to the other without crossing the city of Adam. As for the Masoteric text, I am of the thought that the dead sea scrolls (which support my position) are far more reliable, ancient and faithful to the original text, but again that's also a minority position.

All of those things died off with WWI, and were completely destroyed by 1925. They will never return. And we are better off without them.
