patriarchy, like camels, deserts and romans in togas, is part of the backdrop of the bible not the point of it. pat is a result of the fall and jesus came to fix that. but there seems to be a great big divide between christians. those who believe in male hierarchy, that women should obey submit and be silent and never pastor or preach. But that is not God's will nor what the bible truly says. And it only took Jesus 3 years to teach the 12 disciples how to treat women. They were steeped in OT patriarchy but the saw how the Master treated women, protected, them, healed them, even talked with them. Jesus broke a lot of rules when it came to women. . And since God chose women to be the first to see and tell of the risen Christ it was important that these men believe what the women were saying. Because in those days testimony from women was not allowed. So by the time Jesus died and resurrected, and the woman came to tell what they had seen, 11 of the 12 believed, I think Jesus did a great job in preparing men for how important women would be in spreading the gospel. (Thomas, shame on you!)
It's only talking to you if you're delusional...
Spider-Man comics are better fiction than the Bible
Nothing wrong with being being a non believer but u have to be a miserable person to mock someone's religion and belief
@@Marcus27536 same goes for the folks that push their religion everywhere
Exactly. Why would the Bible be better fiction?
@@zombihudson this is a platform used for whatever you want to publish. You're literally on a Christian page complaining about Christianity brother
@@Marcus27536 it popped up on my feed brother and because it is a public social media app I can say what I want like you can too
I am so grateful for your video. I thought of saying all of these things. This is the perfect confirmation. God bless you.
Only a progressive liberal College freshmen would debunk the truth of the Bible.
Something tells me this "church" doesn't take turning from your sins "literally"..
You learn from a wound you dont learn being swindled
1 Timothy 2:12 “But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.”

It's called tough love. If they didn't care they would let drown in your own tears, not pull you out of the hole you are in !!!

@@wisdom1611 thank you for correcting me
@@lilmonkeboi And thank you for referencing a verse that this woman really needs to read!
Yeah he’s saying get off the stage and honor his words that say for a man to be teaching the congregation in : 1 Timothy 2:12 English Standard Version 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet. It is not ambiguous or difficult to understand.
where we be with out grace praise god
Women should be silent in church according to St. Paul
Looks like a dude
1st Timothy 2:12. Seems to not apply here
The Bible clearly states there should not be women preachers. I would leave this place in a hurry.
Most bum’s will tell you they are happier living on the streets.
He also promised that the unhoused will be with you always
Thanks for sharing this video. It was very informative and helpful. 😊
Well said
You rock!
I was raised Christian. I never took the Bible literally, the stories were just stories to help you understand things. Now, as an adult, I just can’t support it. I do believe there are those that use religion the “right” way and genuinely live kindly. But for so many, they misinterpret religion as a way of justifying awful behaviors, such as the oppression of non-believers. This woman claims you have to take everything into context. Well, one issue I have with this context is that prior to the spread of patriarchal religion, there were many cultures that reveared female deities too. When Christianity (and other religions) came along, women were painted as demonic, unbalanced, uncontrolled, witches, property, slaves, etc. This may have occurred in earlier cultures too, but patriarchal religion certainly catalyzed these beliefs. Based on my understanding, these founding religious zealots did not show any favor to women. Even the virgins they desired were not treated well, albeit less poorly than those who were seen as unclean/impure/possessed (i.e. disobedient or outwardly emotional/distressed/dissatisfied in some way, I’m assuming). It’s just crazy to me that women, especially, can buy into these doctrines. I understand in many other cultures, women have no choice but to obey. And we do live in a patriarchy here in the US, but we women still have so much more freedom to step away from these destructive beliefs here. We have access to the internet, libraries, higher education… and a quick google search will show you the hypocrisy and bigotry that makes the Bible what it is. I suppose that deeply ingrained fear of hell and a vengeful God has brainwashed people into thinking they’ll suffer for eternity for not obeying “god’s” word, having premarital sex, getting tattoos, smoking weed, choosing not to give birth to an unexpected (and unwanted) child (such as rape victims), etc. It’s just mind boggling to me. I still pray. To the universe, to my deceased loved ones. But I do not believe in a vengeful God, nor do I pray to a giant white guy in the sky. If humans can be capable of boundless and unconditional love, acceptance and patience with their children, why would God be any different? Wouldn’t he do it even better than we can? If this god loses his temper when we “disobey,” doesn’t that make him bound by earthly weakness? If that’s the case, why should I obey this weak and emotionally disturbed figure? If god made us all and makes no mistakes, then did he just make trans, gay, promiscuous people, etc so he’ll have someone to punish? Sounds like a psychopath to me. I am agnostic and have great respect for many Christians I’ve known. But I cannot support Christianity personally. As far as I know, the Bible and all its rules were dictated by violent, conservative, Caucasian, male bigots. As a black, liberal, female, that doesn’t sit well with me.
That’s it Dyfin! You got it right! Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added to you. I love you brother! This is your friend and brother Abraham Otu
You my friend need to leave the bible alone... You have no understanding
The only one who doesn't understand is you.
@@PokeMaster03 I bet you believe that Jesus is White, God is White, Angels are White and God Chosen People are White... LOL
@@victorraye57 maybe you're right. Jesus probably was white but remember this. Jesus was a Jew and middle-eastern men and people in the middle east are brown So he's very likely that Jesus was a brown guy But in the end it doesn't matter because he still died for our sins. What color of skin Jesus was doesn't matter what matters is what he did for us.
@PokeMaster03 In Revelation says that Jesus was a very, very dark skin man... As if his skin burned in a furnace... He is a so-called Black Man... The bible says all the Nations are going to mourn when they see him and fight him because they don't want a black man ruling over them...
@@victorraye57 One thing we do know for sure is that Jesus is a Jew and Jews are Middle Eastern. So whether Jesus was a brown man or a black man or a white man, It doesn't matter in the end because Jesus died for the sins of the whole world.
Delusion is sad
Women are not to preach. Read your Bible
Democrats!
Why is a women preaching?
Too true, no substance, just theatrics!
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Please could someone pray for me? I'm struggling with bad thoughts
Amen! Great to see this in my shorts feed!
Right, lets just ignore facts. What a great argument.
Amen 🙏

Holy Orthodoxy has the answers you seek. ☦️
It has made it this far via torture and death. The crusades, the inquisition et all. Over 35 million dead in the 'holy' wars. On it's own it would have gone no where.
The first thing I would suggest is, don't put your faith in christiondom. They have misled people for over 2000 years. They are harlets that have misled the political powers for so long that they convinced government to make them tax-exempt.
God bless you
No offense but you’re putting white people in the crosshairs. Not loving those who were hurt by good meaning people
Thank you Pastor Don. I'm about to say goodbye to grandma but I know I will see her again.
I love the pastoral duds, Eric! They add class for us old boomers who tire of holy jeans and very casual attire.
"Promo SM" 😋
God bless this partnership
