PATRIARCHY
​
The first thing we must understand is; GOD is a FATHER
​
This will be the most controversial topic that you will ever discuss in Christianity. God is a father and operates through a patriarchal (masculine) system, not a matriarchal (feminine) system. This will ruffle many feathers, but who cares. This will be proven without a doubt by the end of this article. At that point, you can choose whether you will follow God's ways or your own ways; God's ways or the world's ways. There is one thing that I can guarantee you is this: after reading this, when you face Jesus naked and alone one day, you will not be able to say, I didn't know or I was not told.
The very first scripture that we must start with is this: Romans 12: 1-2 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2. And be not conformed to this world, but be you transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
As we can see from these scriptures, the very first thing we must do is not to let our mind be controlled by this world. This will be the hardest aspect of Christianity. Why? Because from the time we were born, everything we have learned comes from television, movies, newspapers, school, radio etc.. This means that your mind is being informed from the time of your birth by the world and not by God. No wonder it has become so hard to get Christians to operate in and follow God's ways. This is because the wicked one, who is the prince of this world has been controlling our mind from birth.
​
Let's explain how this happens, you go to school, watch television, watch the news, read books etc.. seven days a week, then your parents take you or you go to a church on Sunday for one hour, one day a week. Now from what I just said, when you go to church or just go through everyday life, do you believe that you are following God or the voices of this world? If you have half of a brain you will have realized from what was said above that it is impossible for you to be following God's ways. Let's go one step further, at 20 years old you would have only 1,040 hours of hearing what God wants and 116,480 hours of listening to the world. How did I arrive at these figures: Church ~ 1 hour/week x 52 weeks/year = 52 hours, x 20 years, = 1,040 hours in twenty years of your life of hearing about God. Your life ~ 16 hours/day x 7 days/week = 112 hours/week, x 52 weeks/year = 5,824 hours/year, x 20 years = 116,480 hours in twenty years of your life listening to the world!!
​
Now once again, when we walk into the church or go out into the world, are we walking in God's ways or the ways of the world? It is totally impossible to be walking in the ways of God. What you are doing is: you are incorporating the world's ways into God's ways and corrupting the ways of God. This is the reason that our churches are so divided. This is the reason that Christians are not united. This is why Christians have different thoughts on God's ways and why the gospel has been totally perverted. This also is the reason why it has become so hard to get Christians to accept the truth of God's word. Now let's prove through scriptures, that God knew this would happen. Then we will show how to correct or try to correct this problem for those who have ears to hear.
God knew: 2 Timothy 3: 1-7 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous (greedy), boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3.Without natural affection, trucebreakers (breakers of contracts), false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good 4. Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5. Having a form of Godliness, but denying the power thereof; from such turn away. 6. For of this sort are they which creep into houses and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts. 7. Ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
All these things are of the world, but today they are also inside the churches. Someone please tell me how these things got into the churches. I will tell you how, we have brought all these things in from the world. The world says, you must first love yourself before you can love anyone else; what resulted from this, we became lovers of ourselves. The world says don't spank your kids; what resulted from this, kids are disobedient to their parents. Watching programs like the Lifestyle of the Rich & Famous; what resulted from this, we became greedy and selfish. The world says, a woman can do anything a man can do; what resulted from this, woman pastors have become popular in today's churches. If you believe this very last one is ok in God's system, then explain 1 Timothy 2: 11-14 below.
​
1 Timothy 2: 11-14 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 13. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
​
How can you be a woman Pastor without teaching a man, or without being in authority over a man? Please, someone who believes in God explains this one to me. Christians do not want to hear what God has said. They only want to hear what the world or Devil has taught them. They are only interested in self exalting and self satisfaction. But, God knew this time would come.
​
2 Timothy 4: 1-4 I charge you therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom. 2. Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season: reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 3. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears (that teach what you want to hear, not what God is saying); 4. And they shall turn away their ears from the truth and shall be turned unto fables.
​
Now you may begin to understand when I say, that God works through patriarchy, why so many Christians will lose their mind. Most people do not understand that much of the stuff we see and hear in church today comes from the world and is man's traditions and not of God. Please remember this; "Jesus said, your (man's) traditions will make the word of God of none effect. Man's traditions have taken over the church, and now today we call it God. After the world has told us men and women are equal; that you can do and be anything you put your mind to; a woman can do anything a man can do. We believe this even tho it comes from the world and not from God. When I begin to prove to you that from the beginning of the bible (Genesis) to the end (Revelations) God has used His men. Some people will get extremely mad, and even seeing that the proof has been presented, they will still refuse to see the truth. That's ok. Because when the world tells us that men and women are equal and you believe it, even when your eyes tell you different. Examples: take the world fastest female sprinter and put her up against the fastest male sprinter; take the world best male boxer and put him in against the world best female boxer etc.. Even when our own eyes show us these things we still follow the lie that the world tells us. But please don't get me wrong, am I saying a woman can not be as smart as a man? No, that's not what I am saying. I know women can be smarter than men in many, many areas. I am just saying don't let anyone convince you that we are the same (we are not). Maybe when you look from the eyes of the world you are, but in God's system we are not. One of the first things we must understand is that God is not fair. God is just. Fair would mean that God was trying to please us. Just means, God set's a system that is available for everyone, and it's up to us to please Him. 2 Peter 3: 9 states that, God is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. John 3: 16 states, for God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. We can see from these two scriptures that God is just. He laid His system out for us, and it's up to us to repent or believe on His Son.
​
When I say in Genesis 1: 26 God said let Us make man in Our image and after Our likeness. Don't get mad at me. If you have a problem with it, take it up with God. If you don't believe this, then go to 1 Corinthians 11: 7 for a man indeed ought not to cover his head, for as much as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. Now let's start from the beginning and work our way to the end (the book of Revelation). Genesis 2: 7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. This is the word of God, and not my words; they are His. Now let'ss see what Genesis 2: 21-22 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof. 22. And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
​
I could stop this study right here because anyone with or without a brain can see from this, that man and woman are not the same. If you do not believe in God, Jesus or do not believe in the creation, then I am not talking to you, nor do I care what you believe in. I am talking to Christians and those that say they are Christians. I truly can not understand anyone who say they are Christians, but not believe or trust in what God has said or done. If we are not going to believe God and Jesus, then we are not Christians. I don't know what you are, but you are not a Christian, I don't care how you try to twist it.
​
After Adam there was Cain and Abel; Abel is killed by Cain. Then in Genesis 4: 25 Adam had another son named Seth in Abel's stead. In Genesis 5: 3 says, Seth was in Adam's image and likeness. Seth had a son whose name was Enos, then men began to call on God again. Then God named all the sons, all the way down to Noah; even though there were daughters born, He only named the sons. Why? Because sons are the only one who can plant a seed and continue a blood line lineage. God then flooded the earth and saved Noah and his sons: Ham, Shem and Japheth and their wives. Shem then lead us to Abraham, to Isaac and then to Jacob. Jacob had twelve sons and a daughter in the mist of them. These were his children in Genesis chapter 30: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, "Diana", Joseph, Benjamin. If God was not a God of patriarchy, why did He not name a tribe after Diana? Even though Diana is born of Leah the first wife and not of the concubines, she still was not named among the tribes. There are going to be many that say, the men that wrote this were women haters. Once again, why would you say, you are Christian, if you do not believe what God has inspired to be witten? This only means that you want to Change God's ways to your ways. If this is the case, you are not believing in God anymore, but in yourself. So don't be mad at me, you have just become like those in 1 Samuel. You are not rejecting me, you have rejected God from ruling over you. If I show you what God has said, and you don't like it. You have just rejected God!!!
​
1 Samuel 8: 7 And the Lord said unto Samuel, hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto you, for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me, that I should not rule over them.
​
God said, I am the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. We have never heard God say, I am the God of Sarah, Rebecca and Rachel or (Leah). Why? Because He is a God of patriarchy, that's why. God then choose Moses and then Joshua. When we get to the book of Judges, God choose all men judges and one female judge. Many will not speak the truth about why Deborah was chosen. Just as God will use the Gentile to provoke the Jews to jealousy, He used the woman Deborah to try to provoke Barak to jealousy. When they talk about Deborah, they will not talk about what she said;
Judges 4: 6-9 And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedesh-naphtali, and said unto him, Has not the Lord God of Israel commanded, saying, Go and draw toward mount Tabor and take with you ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun? 7. I will draw out to you Sisera, the commander of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his many troops to the river Kishon, and I will give him into your hand. 8. Then Barak said to her, if you will go with me, then will I go; but if you will not go with me,I will not go. 9. She said, I will surely go with you, nevertheless, the honor shall not be yours on the journey that you are about to take. For the Lord will sell Sisera into the hands of a woman. Then Deborah arose and went with Barak to Kedesh. Also many do not know that Deborah was Barak's wife.
​
There are two things that we must examine in these scriptures: First, Deborah let us know that God had already spoken to Barak, and let him know that he was going to deliver Sisera into his hands. Barak had failed to respond to God's calling. Second, Barak still refused to go and do what God said by himself, he wanted to take Deborah. Even though God told him that Sisera would be delivered into his hands, he still wanted Deborah to go. God then told him, because he did not do what God said, nor did he trust Him. God then said, because of this, a woman was going to get the honor. This was all done to provoke Barak, but it did not work. These are things most Christians are afraid to talk about or discuss.
When we move into the book of Ezra and Nehemiah, when Israel came back from captivity, God named only the 42 thousand males that returned. All God's major prophets are male. Jesus came on the scene and chose 12 male disciples, and after that, Paul was chosen. When we get to the book of Revelations, God chooses the last 144,000 male preachers.
​
Revelations 14: 1-4 And I looked and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with Him an 144,000 having his Father's name written in their foreheads. 2. And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder; and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: 3. And they sung as it were a new sung before the throne, and before the four beast, and the elders: and no man could learn that sung but the 144,000, which were redeemed from the earth. 4. These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These were redeemed from among men, being the first fruits unto God and the Lamb.
​
We can continue to play games with the word of God if we want, or we can choose to do what God says. In Romans 12 Paul says, do not conform to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of our mind. God wants our mind on His ways and on His things. God does not want us changing His word into what we think it should be, but to follow what He said. Listen at what He shows us in Revelation 21: 10-14 that the holy city, that new Jerusalem. As it desends down from heaven, it has twelve gates, and at the twelve gates, twelve angels, which the names written are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel. Also, the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
From Genesis to the book of Revelations, God shows us that He is a God of patriarchy and Christians don't want to believe it. Why? Because they have been listening to what the world says, and not what God says. Can someone please explain to me why, when we get to the book of Revelations, that if God has changed, why did He not name one of the gates or one of the foundations after one of the women in the bible? Please tell me why He did not choose a woman as one of the 144,000. There are only two choices to believe here, either man is wrong or God is wrong. I chose to believe man is wrong, as a matter of fact, I am 100% positive that God is correct. If we as Christians are not willing to do what Paul says in 2 Corinthians, we will never fulfill what God desires.
​
2 Corinthians 10: 5-6 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. 6. And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
The conclusion is this: if the imaginations of your mind, exalt themselves above what God is saying, then you are wrong. If your thoughts do not line up with what Jesus has said, you are wrong. We have to become like Paul who said, all things gain to me in this life, I count as dung, that I may win Christ. We have to forget what the world says to us, in order that we may hear Jesus. Trust in God, not in yourselves. Fulfill God desires, not your own.
God in the beginning said in Genesis 17: 10-12 This is My covenant which you shall keep, between Me and your seed after you; every man child among you shall be circumcised. 11. And you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant between Me and you. 12. And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generation. Why did God say, all the males? Because it takes a male to cover or to redeem. This is the law of the redeemer.
​
Genesis 1: 11-12 Then God said, let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees on the earth bearing fruit after their kind with seed in them; and it was so. 12. The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit with seed in them, after their kind; and God saw that it was good.
​
Genesis 1: 24-25 Then God said, let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind: cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth after their kind; and it was so. 25. God made the beast of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and every thing that creeps on the ground after its kind; and God saw that it was good.
​
As we can see, all God's creation has seed within itself. The seed is in the man, and not in the woman. The woman can produce, but she can not plant a seed. We see this through many scriptures in the bible, but I will use some from Genesis 38:
​
Genesis 38: 6-10 And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was Tamar. 7. And Er, Judah's firstborn was wicked in the sight of the Lord; and the Lord killed him. 8. And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto your brother's wife and marry her, and raise up seed to your brother. 9. And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground; unless that he should give seed to his brother. 10. And the thing which he did displeased the Lord; therefore the Lord killed him also.
​
We can see from these scriptures why God is a God of patriarchy, because it is the seed that is important. Everything starts from the seed. The name is carried by the seed; (this is why God said, I am the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob). God placed His seed in Mary, and Jesus was known as the Son of God, not the Son of Mary. Jesus was also known as the Seed of Abraham, and by Jesus we became seeds of Abraham by the implanting of the Holy Spirit. God through Jesus placed His seed in us and we become known as Sons of God. This is why our wives and our children carry the last name of the father, and this is why all children carry the blood line of their father. This is also why the world is trying so hard to get women to keep their own last names when they marry. The world and the devil want to corrupt God's ways and His system. God's ways were to bring a male lamb or bullock without spot or blemish, Jesus was the Lamb without spot or blemish. God's system is not hard to understand; it is about -- do you want to follow God's ways or the ways of the world? Check out Genesis 6: 11-13 man had corrupted God's ways on the earth, so we see the same happening today.
​
Also, we see in Exodus 23, God says in verse 17. Three times a year all your males shall appear before the Lord God. God said they are not to appear before Him empty. They must bring an offering for His feast days. So, it does not matter if we start in Genesis or end in Revelations, God has not changed. Why? Because only a man can be a redeemer, a woman can not redeem a man. Read my lesson on Redeemer, then you will know why God had to send His only begotten Son, Jesus, a Male, to redeem us. Please don't become like the world in Genesis chapter 6, if we continue going this way God will be pissed (wax hot), for you religious people. If there is one thing the bible shows us consistently, God wrath comes when we corrupt his ways on the earth.
​
What's wrong with Christians? Do we not hear God? Or, are we so rebellious that we don't want to do anything He says? If we say, God is the Creator; if we say He is our Father; if we say He is our Lord and Saviour; and if we say we believe in Him; why is it so hard to believe in what He said or do what He asks? If He truly is your God, please understand this; Isaiah 55: 8-9, For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, says the Lord. 9. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.
