WOMEN
By Karl C. Priest September 12, 2016 (revised 3-25-18)
Women are wonderful. Those three words summarize this essay.
No one admires and appreciates women more than I do. I personally know or have known my wife, daughter, granddaughter, mother, grandmother, aunts, girlfriends, friend girls, nieces, female cousins, female students, female teachers, female neighbors, and female colleagues. A mother’s love, a wife’s love, and a daughter’s love are second only to God’s love.
Women are God’s gift to men. “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” (Genesis 1:27) The details of the creation of man and woman are in Genesis Chapter 2 where God said (in verse 18), “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet (1) for him.”
Satan wants to destroy whatever good thing God does. This was obvious when he led Eve astray in the Garden (Genesis 3:4-5). At this time in history, Satan is stressing his subversion of God’s plan for women. It began with the so-called “women’s liberation” movement. A major example of that world view is women in the armed forces. Besides physical limitations, the obvious issues of menstruation and lactation makes military life very difficult for women. The military began to be destroyed when women went on warships. (2) I served in the Navy and can attest that life aboard ship is rough. No father should want his daughter exposed to that life. Ignoring the failure with the Navy, liberals pushed their evil agenda on the Army. (3) It is terrible to see our sons return from war emotionally traumatized and physically disfigured. It is insane to encourage our precious daughters to go to war zones as combatants.
Isn’t it interesting that pro-sports leagues (such as the NFL) are not recruiting females?
Anyone in touch with reality easily sees that women are different than men. Besides their plumbing differences, women walk, talk, sound, think, and act differently than men. Women are not the same as men and thank God for that fact!
God’s plan for women is perfect. That fact rankles those perverted by the satanic leadership of liberalism. There are specific instructions, which if followed, will make life better for women and men.
Sissy-boy men have not performed their God-given duties in families and churches. The result is tragic for corrupting for children and crippling for churches. Women have done commendable jobs of trying to cover for cowardly men both as parents and as church leaders. Regarding the home and church, God set a standard for women to follow.
1. Women are not to take authority oven men. (4)
2. Women are to learn spiritual matters from their husbands. (5)
3. Women should submit to the husband as head of the home. (6)
Those three requirements do not mean a woman is a slave or second-class to a man. If a man fulfills his responsibility (See the red font in footnote 6.), a woman will be fulfilled and very happy.
A God-given guideline for all women (married or unmarried) is to dress modestly. (7)
A man who finds a woman who meets God’s standards is truly blessed. “Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. Read the rest of Proberbs 10:10-31.

(1) The Hebrew meaning is “help, succour”. The definition of succour is “something that you do or give to help someone who is suffering or in a difficult situation.” God knew what was ahead for Adam.

(3) In 2015 the Army mandated that commanders set up lactation stations. The idiocy of this idea is well expressed at the Tree of Liberty website: “Where are women going to express milk in the field? Are they going to have armored vehicles or special tents for them to do this while the field exercise is going on?” “The warrior ethos is fading and with it the US Army.”
(4) Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety. 1 Timothy 2:11-15
(5) Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church. I Corinthians 14:34-35
(6) Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband. Ephesians 5:22-33
Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear. Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands: Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement. Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour 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 3:1-7
Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. Colossians 3:19
(7) In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works. Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety. I Timothy 2:9-15

Harassment and Abuse of Women
It is easy to misconstrue the “#metoo” movement that sprang up in 2017 as a result of widespread sexual harassment against women. Like a lot of things, liberals twist it and use it for their evil purposes.
Hollywood hound dogs are haters of holiness (Christian values) and (just think of the term “casting couch”) have extensively harassed and abused women. Nevertheless, the elephant in the room is why the women waited so long to respond. The reasons given (“no one would believe me”, for example) are weak excuses. Could it be that some remained mum in order to peruse their goal such as (but not limited to) a movie part? The argument that they were not strong enough defeats the purpose of the liberal feminist description of females. Of course, the Celebrity Cesspool does not excuse any man, especially Christian men, from engaging in inappropriate behavior with women.
Had the women followed the biblical standards of chastity and the men followed the biblical examples of respect for women, the major problems would not exist. Gentlemen and godly men (a latter is the former) should rise up to protect women.
The result of the 2017 incidents has, like anything used by liberals, been perverted. Males are now considered guilty until proven innocent and it can be nearly impossible for a man to prove his innocence. If a woman flirts with him and he reacts with pursuit or rejection, the woman can easily accuse him of inappropriate behavior based on whatever whim the woman wants.
In my case, having taught school for 34 years, I have taught hundreds of girls. I never came close to doing anything illegal or inappropriate with any of them. But, if one accused me of having done something, it would be almost impossible to prove the accusation was false. This applies to any teacher scout leader, coach, and other similar relationships.
It is a sad situation—for women and men. The only hope is for both sexes to practice biblical standards and use commonsense.
