Some former Jews who are now Christians still hang on to their “Jewishness” because it makes them feel special. Apparently, Jesus is not enough for them. They want to be set apart. Unfortunately, that is totally NOT biblical.
“There is neither Judahite nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all ONE in Christ Jesus.” Galatians 3: 28
They don’t want to assimilate with other Christians. Instead, they choose to separate themselves by pretending to be Judahites (i.e., by pretending to be more important than the rest of the Body of Christ). They are thus abiding in sin.
“…those liars who say they are Judahites but are not…” Revelation 3:9
They even call themselves Jewish-Christians, conveniently ignoring the fact that being Jewish is being part of a religious group and not part of the once chosen Hebrew race (including Judahites of the tribe of Judah) which no longer exists as a people.
Talmudic Judaism is an evil religion that rejects Christ and used to be known as Pharisaism. How they figure they can be both Jewish and Christian is beyond comprehension.
It’s like a Satanist who becomes a Christian and decides he’s now a Satanist-Christian. Jews For Jesus should be Former Jews For Jesus, just like it would be Former Satanists For Jesus. Can you imagine Satanists for Jesus? Ridiculous, right?
1. Judaism is Pharisaism or Rabbinism. It has nothing to do with the bible. Its central tenets are in a book called the Talmud, a book full of Babylonian superstitions and lies.
2. Jews are NOT the Israelites of the Bible and therefore NOT the descendants of Judah.
That expression (Judeo-Christian) was created and set in motion by Rabbinists (now known as Jews) in order to hoodwink gullible Christians into believing that they are Judahites and that Christianity is an extension of their satanic cult. That way they could proceed with their diabolical plan to steal Palestine without the objection of the Christian world. See How the Ashkenazi Jews Conquered the West.
Next time you find yourself wanting to use that expression, bite your tongue. Instead, just say Christian.
Holiness is twofold: the perfection of God and the sanctification of Christians.
1. God is Holy.
“You are holy.” Psalm 22:3
2. True Christians become Holy because Christ resides in them in order to bring to fruition their sanctification process.
“It is written, ‘You shall be Holy, for I am Holy.’ ” 1 Peter 1:16
“Without holiness no one will see the Lord.” Hebrews 12: 14
The following passage has many confused.
“God said (to Moses). ‘Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.’ ” Exodus 3:5
First, that was in Midian, an ancient region of NW Arabia East of the Gulf of Aqaba, not modern Israel. Is that place also holy today? No. It was holy during the moment God was there touching it. That was the extent of its holiness.
Second, just because Jesus walked somewhere doesn’t make it holy today, no different than that moment when Moses approached God on that patch of ground in Midian. It was temporary.
“Jesus replied, ‘Believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem… But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth… God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth. ‘ ” John 4:21,23,24
Third, the Jerusalem of the Middle East today is NOT the same Jerusalem that Jesus lived and walked in. The old one was razed to the ground by the Roman army in 70 A.D. So those who go there on a pilgrimage to walk where Jesus walked are only fooling themselves.
Every conscientious individual should implement a personal boycott of Israel:
a. Don’t visit it. There’s nothing there to see. As a tourist, all that’s worthwhile seeing is in the West Bank of Palestine – Bethlehem and Jerusalem. So visit the West Bank instead via Jordan. Gaza can also be visited via Egypt.
b. Don’t invest in any company or fund that involves Israel.
c. Don’t buy anything Made in Israel or from companies that support Apartheid in Israel.
“Do not be deceived: ‘Bad company ruins good morals.’” 1 Corinthians 15:33
Hebrew Words in the Old Testament Bible: Yehuwdah: Jehudah or Judah – Yehuwdiy: Jehudite or Judahite
Greek Words in the New Testament Bible: Iouda: Jehudah or Judah – Ioudaios: Jehudite or Judahite or belonging to Jehudah or Judah
We Christians must do our duty and remove the word “Jew” from the translated bible and replace it with Judahite. Find out why here: JESUS WAS NOT A JEW

The world needs to acknowledge and deal with a number of lies and deceptions concerning today’s self-styled Jews, who have arrogantly placed themselves above the rest of humanity by crowning themselves God’s chosen people. In the process, they’ve made a mockery of the spirit of brotherhood our Lord Jesus commanded us to abide in.
“The trouble with lying and deceiving is that their efficiency depends entirely upon a clear notion of the truth that the liar and deceiver wishes to hide.” – Hannah Arendt
Let’s get a clear notion of the truth today’s self-styled Jews are trying to obfuscate through intrigues and stratagems.
That way people could see them as the Chosen People, while they endeavored to steal Palestine and create modern-day Israel without the objection of the Christian world, especially since they were Eastern-European Nomads seeking a new country following the loss of their homeland Khazaria.
Then they – who originally spoke Yiddish – resurrected the dead Hebrew tongue after thousands of years in the dustbin of oblivion to make it Israel’s official language. In so doing, they consolidated in the world’s mind the impression that they were Hebrews rightfully returning home, when in fact they were not.
However, in their lust to deceive the world they got blindsided and completely overlooked the fact that, following the destruction of the Kingdom of Israel in 721 B.C., not even the Hebrews spoke Hebrew. They spoke Aramaic, the language of Jesus.
That’s why Mel Gibson made the movie The Passion of The Christ in that dialect. In turn, the Jews became furious – still on a vendetta against him – because Mel made them look ridiculous, especially as they wanted to be seen as “kinsmen” of Jesus, which they’re absolutely not. See Are Jews the Israelites of the Bible?
Deception: Yids who faked their Hebrew names
Further, as Jewish land thieves disembarked in Palestine in the 1940s to seize Palestinian lands and homes that Zionist terrorist groups – such as the Irgun, the Stern gang, and Haganah – had stolen in order to turn the country into Israel, they adopted Hebrew names to complete their “Hebraization” process – not unlike what they did when they scattered throughout Europe and America and assumed European surnames. See Israel: Land of Impostors
“We all went ‘native’,” admits Uri Avnery, Israeli political commentator. “On reaching the age of 18, we all exchanged our Jewish names for Hebrew Names. (That’s how Uri Avnery came into being.) We started to think of ourselves as a new nation, with a new “soul”, connected to Judaism, sure, but mainly historically.”
2) Are all people in countries where English is spoken of English descent? No. Were all Catholics, who celebrated mass in Latin, Romans? No. A spoken language is not indicative of a person’s ancestry.
Israel is an apartheid country that is revved up by the anti-Christ spirit of “Hate Thy Neighbor.”
“Israel is not a democracy but an ‘apartheid regime’ that enforces Jewish supremacy over all the land it controls,” writes The Guardian.
It has repudiated the Prince of Peace’s message of neighborly love and peace, and has embraced the genocidal spirit of conquest, terror, and subjugation, which has injected into the Middle East a cesspool of conflict and hate that has begun to metastasize worldwide.
Palestinian fortitude in the face of Israeli aggression
Israel also deceptively insists that the Israeli-Palestinian conundrum is the fault of the Palestinians, when nothing could be further from the truth.
The Israeli-Palestinian problem can be easily solved because the solution is very simple. It would be settled tomorrow if Zionist Jewish leaders were not such bloodthirsty thieves.
Of the 12 Hebrew tribes, Judah was the most faithful and the most active in making converts, especially after they teamed up with the Levites.
“For the Levites left their suburbs and their possession, and came to Judah and Jerusalem: for Jeroboam and his sons had cast them offfrom executing the priest’s office unto the LORD.” 2 Chronicles 11:14
Their converts became known as the proselytes (i.e., the ones who prayed to Jehovah, the God of Judah).
The other 10 tribes, collectively known as Israel, separated from Judah and always did evil in God’s eyes.
“Ephraim compasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the saints.” Hosea 11:12
So while Judah was helping the priests in the implementation of their office, Israel was basking in evil. Thus Judah became the one that carried the torch of God’s light unto the nations.
It was a process that would culminate with the advent of Jesus the Christ and His church assembly. Because, just like the Christian Church, the Judahite Hebrew nation was a proselytizing nation that wanted people all over the world to know and pray to the true God of the Universe; even though, at one point, the conversion process had become totally corrupted because of the pharisaic teachings. Let’s hear Jesus:
“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.” Matthew 23:15
Later on, those proselytes, who obviously were not Judahite Hebrews and adhered to the pharisaic teachings, became known as Rabbinists, while their religion was called Pharisaism/Rabbinism, and their “holy writ” was entitled the Talmud, a Babylonian book full of lies and superstitions.
In the 18th Century, those very same Rabbinists hijacked the words Jew and Judaism, in order to change their appellation along with that of their religion (just like when Blacks didn’t want to be called Negroes no more). A change that was purely cosmetic, as their beliefs, which are still found in their enduring and cherished Talmud, did not change one iota.
The idea behind such superficial name changes was to deceive the world into thinking they were the Judahite Hebrews of the bible.
And what was their reason for wanting to hoodwink the world?
Question: Why don’t you have anything extensive about Islam? Like you do about Judaism?
Answer: For the same reason we don’t have anything about Buddhism, Hinduism, etc. We preach the ONLY truth: pure Christianity. That’s enough to get all those of different faiths to ponder on what they should adhere to.
We, however, zoom in on Judaism/Pharisaism and Zionist Israel because they have infiltrated the church with their anti-Christ spirit; the other religions have not.
“They shall raise their voices against the serpents (or malicious ones)…” Mark 16:17
Therefore, we must be obedient to God and raise our voices to warn of the destruction that follows in the wake of Bolshevik/Zionist/Neocon Jews (a parasite by any other moniker is still a parasite):
They did 9/11 and disquieted the world with never-ending terrorism and war.
Jesus’s peace and morality had been steadily increasing throughout the world, until that deadly, persistent Talmudic Ashkenazic Khazarian (aka Jewish) virus, which invariably hates the Prince of Peace and His followers, craves immorality, and engenders wars, began its assault on Christian civilization. But it won’t win.
“The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil.” 1 John 3:8
Albert Einstein’s name has strangely become synonymous with “genius.”
But we couldn’t find one thing that man invented or came up with that made our lives better or that was not a fraud. NOT ONE THING! Even the equation E=mc^2 that is attributed to him is apparently from an Italian named Olinto De Pretto who published it in the scientific magazineAtte in 1903.
Yet everyone knows who Einstein is. His face and name are plastered on everything that hints at “sheer ingenuity.” Even his so-called “accomplishments,” besides being theories to begin with, were unsupported conjectures that amounted and led to NOTHING – especially his Theory of Relativity, stolen from mathematician Henri Poincare and physicist Hendrik Lorentz, along with the GPS & Relativity myth. Nikola Tesla, a real scientific genius, categorized said theory as “the greatest historical aberration of scientific thought.” See Puzzled Scientists.
All of them either invented or contributed to the invention of notuseless theories but of things that improved our lives and catapulted humanity to a higher level of productivity. Yet none of them is uplifted like Einstein. Then again unlike Einstein they were not and are not Jews (some are still alive), so the Jewish-controlled media inflate their own to godlike status – even when they’re fake – in order to propagandize their misappropriated appellation of God’s “Chosen People.”See How the Ashkenazi Jews conquered the West.
“We Jews, we, the destroyers, will remain the destroyers forever.” – Maurice Samuel
If one truly believes the Zionist/Jewish-dominated media, their fake news, and their constant barrage of “Holocaust” movies, one genuinely thinks that there’s only one group of people that everyone on earth hates: Jews. That’s how effective the brainwashing has been.
However, when one wakes up from the media’s induced stupor one realizes that Zionist Jews are themselves the victimizers of the world who camouflage themselves as victims.
Bolshevik Revolution: The Jewish Bolsheviks, who took over the Russian government in the 1910s, killed 66 million Christians, including 200,000 members of the Christian clergy, and destroyed 40,000 churches.
World War 1: Britain was losing the war against Germany. The Zionists stepped in and manipulated President Wilson to get the US into the war to help them. In return, the Jews asked the British Empire to deed them Palestine to create Israel. Their wish was granted in the form of the Balfour Declaration of 1917, which cost the world 18 million dead.
World War 2: The Zionists fomented that war (just like they’re doing today with Iran and other countries in the Middle East), so that European Jews could feel threatened. The deception worked as European Jews fled in droves to Palestine and took over the homes of Palestinians, who were evicted at gunpoint and then either massacred or driven out of their land into neighboring Arab countries. With enough Jews on the ground, Israel was created in 1948 at a cost of 80 million dead.
World War On Terror:Zionist/Jewish neocons, in cahoots with their bought-and-paid-for politicians in the US government, perpetrated their act of terrorism on 9/11. Then they conveniently blamed it on Muslims so as to obtain a green light to destroy the Middle East using the armies of the US and NATO and the terrorist groups they finance, with the ultimate view to creating Greater Israel. So far, the death toll is 27 million, including Christians.
World War 3: With Russia protecting Syria and Iran from Israel’s Machiavellian design, will the Zionists succeed in bringing the world once again to the brink of disaster to create Greater Israel? If they do, will it instead bring about their downfall?
Conclusion: It’s a shame that Jews who stand up to Zionism form a minority. The well-financed and extremely powerful Zionist movement, revved up by a foul and racist ideology, drowns out their voices.
Zionist Jews of all stripes – secular, religious, political – have no concept of God’s commandment to love thy neighbor. Instead, the anti-Christ spirit of hate thy neighbor permeates their souls with a sulfuric stench, while Israel remains the undiluted expression of said diseased spirit – a scourge, a cancer that needs to be dealt with.
Appeal: Every conscientious individual should implement a personal boycott of Israel and everything made there.
Many are under the impression that the chaos that is spreading throughout the Middle East is to protect the petrodollar and secure oil resources for American and Western companies.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
First, the petrodollar is backed by Saudi Arabia and the other Arab countries. Yet, the US Congress recently passed a law that allows victims of “terrorism” to sue the Saudis. See this Post here.
That’s not how one maintains the hegemony of the petrodollar. Besides, if the petrodollar was the concern, Israel would be the first country to go, as most Arab countries do not support the theft of Palestine by the Zionists.
Second, oil resources are available all over the world, including the US; so there’s no need for war to control them. At the beginning of the oil rush it might have been a truism that war was necessary, not anymore.
“Oil and gas are abiotic, [and] can be found deep below the surface of the earth in most parts of the world and in very large amounts,” wrote Vinod Dar in Abiotic Oil and Gas
In general, it is true that wars waged by the US are mostly for American control of natural resources, territorial expansions, and the benefit of the Military Industrial Complex. It is also true that all US imperialistic moves are always meant to benefit the country’s most influential elite of the time.
For instance, the Vietnam war was to favor the elite that controls the Military Industrial Complex, whereas the banana wars were engineered to secure control over banana plantations in South America and the Caribbean for another segment of the American elite. The most blatant of the banana wars were in Honduras where the US intervened seven times between 1903 and 1925. None of these wars was about the US dollar.
Today, the US’s most demanding and most pernicious elite are the Jews, who are only satisfied when Israel takes center stage in US foreign policy.
“It does not take a genius to figure out that the United States is deeply involved in a series of seemingly endless wars pitting it against predominantly Muslim nations even though Washington has no vital interests at stake in places like Syria, Libya and Iraq,” explains Philip Giraldi, former CIA officer.
“Who is driving the process and benefiting? Israel is clearly the intended beneficiary of a coordinated effort mounted by more than 600 Jewish organizations in the U.S. that have at least as part of their programs the promotion and protection of Israel. If America goes to war with Iran, as is increasingly likely, it will be all about Israel and it will be arranged by the political and financial services Washington-Wall Street axis, make no mistake.”
So for the first time in America’s history, US-led wars are being waged to benefit a foreign nation, Israel, by wagging America from within, using the Jewish AIPAC as its whipping mechanism and bribe money as its corrupting influence.
Still, the US does want to maintain hegemony of the US Dollar. It does so through American control of powerful financial institutions worldwide, bribe, globalism, coups d’état, assassination, etc.
However, all current wars, conflicts, and fabricated terrorism in the Middle East are only to benefit Israel, destroy its perceived enemies, and facilitate its expansion plan.
“The fact is, we don’t have to be in the Middle East, other than we want to protect Israel,” said Donald Trump. “We’ve been very good to Israel. Other than that, we don’t have to be in the Middle East. You know there was a time we needed desperately oil, we don’t need that anymore. We have more than they do, isn’t that nice?”
Americans had better wake up before it’s too late! The Israeli parasitic infestation of the US government has reached critical mass.
“That (Jewish) stranglehold has got to be broken or this country is going down the drain,” explained Evangelist Billy Graham to President Nixon.
Urgent Appeal To Christians Who Support Israel: Don’t!
We know deep down no real Christian would support evil.
Notice the Israeli Sniper’s bullet right through the heart of the deceased Palestinian boy
Doing so would be antithetical to everything our Christian faith stands for. Besides, we know that many of you were fed a bunch of lies concerning the ungodly State of Israel, which in turn caused you to sanction its demonic actions that are all contrary to God’s commandments.
Converted Jews of today are NOT the Hebrews of the bible. They’re Eastern European nomads who lost their country Khazaria and were in search of a new land. So they stole Palestine and renamed it Israel pretending to be Hebrews, when all Hebrews are irrevocably dead. See A Brief History of the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah.
a) Modern apartheid Israel is not comprised of the 10 Hebrew tribes like in scriptures; b) the country’s current geographical demarcation is not as delineated by God in the book of Joshua; c) the nation would be called Judah instead of Israel, with the Levites sheltered therein, if Jews today were of the tribe of David; and d) the modern impostor state of Israel is made up of Jewish converts who are not Semitic descendants of Abraham, and more specifically not descendants of Abraham’s 12 grandsons who formed the 12 Hebrew tribes and whose offspring were all cousins to one another.
“To your (Abraham’s) descendants I give this land….” Genesis 15:18
Therefore, as you shake off the falsehoods you were brainwashed with, we ask the following of you.
Stop organizing fund raisers for the Zionist “settlers.” In so doing you’re actually helping these land thieves steal another people’s land, while empowering them to kill the original inhabitants in the process.
Stop lobbying the US government to provide the Apartheid criminal state of Israel with diplomatic cover in the international community.
For the sake of peace, start doing the opposite.
Call your political representative and give him/her a piece of your mind: that Israel should no longer get away with murder, and that Israel should accept a Palestinian State. Then organize mission trips to the West Bank and Gaza. Stop these pussyfooting “Holy” Land tourist trips. Go and help the oppressed. That’s the Christian mandate.
“Learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow’s cause.” Isaiah 1:17
Unfortunately, many of you, poisoned by compromised preachers and their false teachings in reference to converted Jews being “God’s chosen people,” are infected with Israel’s anti-Christ spirit of hate thy neighbor, especially you leaders of the “Christian” media who sold out Jesus and His Love-Thy-Neighbor command to Israel for 30 pieces of Jewish silver. Your unabashed loathing of Arabs and Muslims to please the Jews is shamefully evident to all.
“The companion of fools will suffer harm.” Proverbs 13:20
Remember the words of our Savior when you, with that anti-Christ spirit, call Him Lord – so don’t be surprised on Judgment Day.
“Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” Matthew 7: 15, 22-23
However, you can cure yourselves.
“If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.” Genesis 4:7
The actress/scriptwriter Nia Vardalos in the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding wrote the following line: “The man may be the head of the household, but the woman is the neck, and she can turn the head whichever way she pleases.”
It may be a funny one-liner, but it’s a dangerous one.
Why?
Entertainment and media have a great influence on many people. That one-liner has wormed its way into our society’s consciousness using a comedic wrapper to make it palatable, as well as reinforcing a notion that many women are already inclined to develop.
Some preachers even use it to make their audience laugh, but in truth it’s no laughing matter.
MAN IS THE HEAD. PERIOD.
“But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ.” 1 Corinthians 11:3
The head of woman is man, not Jesus. The head of an unmarried woman is her father, or the elder brother if dad is deceased. The head of a married woman is her husband, or whomever the husband puts in charge after his passing, usually the elder son who has the right of the firstborn.
“He shall acknowledge… the firstborn (male), by giving him a double portion of all that he hath: for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn is his.” Deuteronomy 21:17
From the very beginning, in the Garden of Eden, the woman managed to usurp the man’s authoritative role, and the result has been the catastrophic state of sin we currently find ourselves in.
The Serpent knew what he was doing when he approached the woman.
“And he said to the woman, ‘Indeed, has God said, ‘You shall not eat from any tree of the garden’?’ ‘ ” Genesis 3:1
The most cunning of all creatures, he discerned that woman was the weaker vessel and therefore not built to withstand his attacks, and that man for all his bravado could not long endure a woman’s pleading eyes. He was certain that man’s ingrained chivalry would get the best of him.
He was right.
Eve fell and then induced Adam to fall. Quite the bull’s-eye on both counts for the Serpent! In other words, he caused Eve to become the neck that turned Adam’s head, and voilà!
Since then women everywhere, way before Nia Vardalos penned that “funny one-liner,” have been trying to “neck around” their husbands or have actually been doing precisely that.
The consequences of such a disposition are disastrous.
Women who embrace said frame of mind end up being these nagging and manipulative creatures that drive their husbands crazy or angry.
Many of these men bottle up their anger until one day they explode and divorce their wives. Some morph into these feeble, castrated individuals who are trapped and cannot move forward, while others are in a permanent state of resentment as they continually butt heads with their wives.
When God says that man is the head, He means it.
“Wives,respect and obey your husbands…” 1 Peter 2: 1
“Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.” Ephesians 5: 22
DESTRUCTIVE FEMINISM
Feminism has conditioned most women, even many Christian ones, to rebuff the above-mentioned biblical laws. To masquerade their unbecoming behavior, these women usually use the following nonsensical statements about their husbands – with our rebuttal.
But he’s doing the wrong thing. Rebuttal: Then advise him.
But he doesn’t listen. Rebuttal: Then the onus is on him, not on you.
But he’s leading our family to disaster. Rebuttal: Then why did you marry him?
But I thought I could change him. Rebuttal: Did you, now? Is the bride of Christ the one who changes to accommodate Him, or is it the other way around?
But he’s gonna fail if I don’t take over. Rebuttal: Then let him fail. There’s nothing wrong with failure. Failure sobers a man up and gives him wisdom. Moses failed to convince Pharaoh over and over until his persuasive argument won the day.
But he’s gonna bring shame to me and my family. Rebuttal: Ah-ha! It’s your ego, then. Shade of Eve.
But he can’t make up his mind. Rebuttal: Then wait until he can.
But he’s lazy. Rebuttal: Then why did you marry him?
But I thought I could change him. Rebuttal: Aren’t we going in circle here?
A woman can help her husband, advise him, encourage him, build him up when he’s down, etc., but in the end final decisions are up to him. God is the one who put him in charge, and therefore he’ll have to answer to Him.
When a woman takes upon herself the man’s responsibilities, she takes upon herself duties that were not assigned to her, and sooner or later the result will be a frustrated wife who’ll end up disrespecting, even despising her husband.
Job’s wife is a great example of how a woman can step out of her supportive role and be putty in the devil’s hand. She could not see God’s purpose in Job’s trials, so instead of comforting and showing respect to her husband she cursed him (and God) instead.
“Why don’t you curse God and die?” Job 2:9
Likewise, most women prefer to nag and nag until they get what they want, not unlike female characters in many movies who insolently mouth off at their husbands or at their fathers. Such a devastating sinful trait will drive a family to ruin, just like Eve drove her family out of the Garden.
“It is better to live in a corner of the housetop than in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife.” Proverbs 21:9
“It is better to live in a desert land than with a quarrelsome and fretful woman.” Proverbs 21:19
“A continual dripping on a rainy day and a quarrelsome wife are alike; to restrain her is to restrain the wind or to grasp oil in one’s right hand.” Proverbs 27: 15-16
Women like these grind down a man’s self-esteem. They are the reason many run away from their wives and into the arms of those who indulge and respect their God-appointed position.
“Your adornment must not be merely external– braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on dresses; but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God. For in this way in former times the holy women also, who hoped in God, used to adorn themselves, being submissive to their own husbands.” 1 Peter 3: 3-5
MEN OF GOD
Now, to you guys. Be men, godly men! Not sissies, nor brutes.
Husbands must work hard and provide for their families in every aspect: financial, spiritual, emotional, in knowledge, in wisdom, in decision-making, etc. In other words, they must become real men, leaders of their homes.
“But if someone doesn’t provide for their own family…They are worse than those who have no faith.” 1 Timothy 5:8
“Husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.” Ephesians 5:28
“Fathers, do not anger your children, but rear them in the discipline and in the teaching of Our Lord.” Ephesians 6: 4
Some husbands actually cause their wives to become the necks that turn their heads, and then they wax all hot and bothered, even angry.
There’s nothing uglier than a man who’s not a man, meaning a man who does not fulfill his responsibilities. If that’s you, then it’s about time you took back your role as head of your family and applied God’s principles to turn your situation around.
But, in so doing, remember to exercise loving firmness and patient understanding, especially if your wife has already settled in the neck-turning-the-head role.
“Husbands, dwell with your wives with understanding, giving honor unto the wife as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers be not hindered.” 1 Peter 3:7
CONCLUSION
What if Adam had put his foot down and told Eve to behave?
What if he had said, “Now listen darling, God said it’s a no-no to eat of the forbidden fruit. Now throw it away because I’ll have none of it. Quickly go and ask God to forgive you!”
Do you think we’d all be in different circumstances right now?
In short, guys, be biblical men!
And you, ladies, be biblical women!
Your lives will be better for it.
“But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” James 1:22
