-
And Ben, I wanna start with my sermon title this morning
-
is Don't Believe All Women.
-
Don't Believe All Women.
-
Now point one of the sermon is based on verse 10.
-
The Bible says who can find a virtuous woman?
-
Plainly the text is indicating that virtuous women are rare
-
and that is not a common occurrence
-
and yet there is a societal pressure to act as if
-
all women are somehow virtuous
-
and all women are good and kind-hearted
-
and should be believed.
-
There was a campaign several years ago
-
or a few years ago really, not that long
-
that was hashtag believe all women.
-
In fact, there were several people in our government,
-
representative Carolyn Maloney that said, quote,
-
we stand with Dr. Christine Blazy Ford, Deborah Amirez
-
and Julie Swetnick, hashtag believe all women.
-
Republican Catherine Clark is funny, you know,
-
or representative, sorry, she's a Democrat.
-
Representative Catherine Clark, Democrat from Massachusetts
-
said, quote, democracy in action, hashtag we believe
-
Christine, hashtag believe all women.
-
Another Senator, Democrat from Hawaii, Mazzie Hirano
-
said during the hearing she said, quote,
-
men need to just shut up and step up.
-
Senator Kamala Harris said, quote,
-
I believe you and I believe many Americans
-
across this country believe you.
-
Now, what's funny is that this has became
-
kind of a national mantra for a lot of different people
-
of this quote, just believe all women
-
and that we should just trust all women
-
and that women are good and by and large,
-
whereas this is directly contrasted
-
with the biblical narrative and the biblical text
-
saying that virtuous women are rare.
-
Not that they're the norm, not that virtuous women
-
are what we see as the common experience,
-
but rather virtuous women are not common,
-
are not normal, are very hard to find.
-
I mean, the text is just saying like,
-
who can we even find it?
-
Like, where can we even find this example?
-
And then you have all of these people in our politics
-
and our government just saying hashtag believe all women,
-
which is nonsense and of course, you know,
-
these people love to have their cake, you need it too,
-
because whenever Amber Hurd and Johnny Depp
-
went in this public hearing,
-
then comedians like Chris Rock were saying,
-
hashtag believe all women except Amber Hurd.
-
And so it's like, you know,
-
it's always just a fit whatever narrative they have
-
at the time, but it's a really silly idea
-
to try to act as if women are more believable than men.
-
You know, I mean, and again,
-
I'm not gonna sit here and say men
-
are more trustworthy than women.
-
I think that the Bible teaches that we should just have,
-
you know, really kind of a skeptical view of humanity
-
in general, and that specifically when it comes to women,
-
the Bible does not teach that they're just more virtuous
-
or better than men.
-
The Bible does not teach that whatsoever.
-
And so to then suggest hashtag believe all women,
-
what is the implication?
-
It's like women are more reliable
-
in their testimony than men.
-
This is not true.
-
And the Bible does not support such an idea
-
and we should not be prejudice against men for women.
-
That is not a biblical narrative.
-
It's not what the Bible teaches.
-
Go to Ecclesiastes chapter seven,
-
Ecclesiastes chapter seven.
-
Now I'm not trying to create attention
-
to say the opposite.
-
I'm not trying to say women can never be trusted
-
and men should be trusted.
-
We should be skeptical of both,
-
but we should have a healthy level
-
of skepticism in this world.
-
And what I find is, you know,
-
the Bible says the simple believe with every word
-
we need to have a healthy skepticism in life
-
and not be trusting by and large.
-
We should be skeptical of this world
-
because this world is wicked.
-
This world is very sinful.
-
Our culture is very sinful and very wicked.
-
And so we need to make sure that we're careful
-
in who we're trusting, careful in who we're listening to.
-
And the Bible has a lot of warnings
-
about certain kinds of women.
-
Of course, there are virtuous women in this world.
-
I'm not saying that the virtuous women don't exist,
-
but in the biblical text of Proverbs 31,
-
the Bible says that her husband does safely trust in her.
-
Isn't it interesting?
-
She's married and she's married.
-
And specifically, according to the text,
-
she's in submission to her husband.
-
And really that is the biblical models
-
that women should just submit to their husband
-
and we should have men leading women in general.
-
And, you know, why should we not just believe all women?
-
Well, number one, because it's just super rare.
-
And here's another biblical text to prove,
-
you know, some of these points.
-
Look at verse number 26,
-
and I find more bitter than death, the woman.
-
Now, this is where some men, or women hating men
-
will stop the verse, okay?
-
It's not saying all women are bad, all right?
-
It kind of sounds like it though,
-
but it's not saying that.
-
It says whose heart is snares and nets
-
and her hands is bands who please of God
-
shall escape from her,
-
but the sinner shall be taken by her.
-
I believe in context and comparing with other proverbial texts,
-
this is talking about a woman that's laden with sins
-
in a bedroom sense or in a fornication sense.
-
So a woman that's permissive,
-
a woman that's very loose is this type of woman
-
that the Bible really warns about
-
and how she's a snare and how she's a trap
-
and she will not actually give you her heart
-
even though she may flatter you
-
and pretend like she wants to give you her heart.
-
And the Bible is saying that the person
-
that pleases God is gonna escape her.
-
You know, how does that work?
-
I don't think that this is really trying to say that,
-
you know, you're just gonna magically
-
not find the wrong woman.
-
I think it's by studying the Bible as a young man
-
and paying attention to the signs
-
of a permissive woman versus a godly woman,
-
you can avoid this type of woman.
-
Through going through biblical directives,
-
biblical principles, that's how you escape it.
-
I don't think that it's just,
-
you know, you're gonna go for this woman
-
and God's gonna intervene magically.
-
I think it's the Bible saying you follow biblical principles,
-
you'll avoid this type of woman.
-
You don't follow biblical principles.
-
You'll end up getting taken away with the flattery,
-
with the deceit, with just this bad stuff.
-
And notice that the Bible almost is indicating
-
that bad men, bad men are punished with a bad woman.
-
I mean, isn't that what the Bible's saying here?
-
It says, who so pleaseth God, shall escape from her,
-
but the sinner shall be taken by her.
-
It's almost saying like a bad guy will end up having
-
this just like horrific wife potentially
-
or a girlfriend or toxic relationship
-
because he's a bad person.
-
You know, it's like we can sit here
-
and feel bad for quote Johnny Depp,
-
but it's like was Johnny Depp looking for the right woman
-
with Amber Heard?
-
You know, it's like, oh, we can feel bad for Elon Musk,
-
but is he really looking for the right woman
-
when he gets entrapped with this like Jewish woman
-
who ensnares him and gets pregnant by him
-
and is like trying to sue him for all this money
-
and just like some kind of an influencer?
-
It's like, obviously he was finding the wrong women
-
in the wrong place.
-
And the Bible is saying like God's gonna punish people
-
when they're looking for the wrong woman
-
in the wrong place because it's rare
-
to find the good woman, okay?
-
And again, this is a bad person to be caught by.
-
It says in verse 27,
-
behold this have I found say the preacher
-
counting one by one to find out the account
-
which yet my soul seeketh but I find not
-
one man among a thousand have I found
-
but a woman among all those have I not found.
-
Lo, this only have I found that God has made me an upright
-
but they have sought out many inventions.
-
So let's unpack this passage for a moment
-
because this is a very important package here.
-
Number one in verse 29, God is saying
-
that he did not make men bad or women bad or anybody bad.
-
God made man upright.
-
So you can't say like, oh, well God just made women bad.
-
False.
-
God made women upright.
-
God made man upright.
-
God made everybody to be good and to do right
-
and we all have the capability
-
and the opportunity to do right
-
but because of sinful natures that we have,
-
we end up choosing selfish things and sinful things.
-
That's what it's saying.
-
They sought out many inventions.
-
We're going after evil.
-
We're coming up with bad ideas.
-
You know, we can't blame all the evils of this world on God
-
because God made man upright
-
but man ended up coming up with bad ideas
-
and venting all kinds of evils and doing wrong.
-
So God gives us all the opportunity to do right.
-
We of our own selfish ambition and nature
-
have sought out wicked devices
-
but we also want to at least consider
-
what the guy is saying here.
-
He's saying he like, did this audit?
-
Did this like human audit?
-
He's like an anthropologist studying humanity
-
and trying to understand the gender
-
and trying to understand men and women
-
and he's like, I decided to get my Excel spreadsheet out
-
and I'm listing names
-
and I'm putting in data and stats
-
and I'm charting
-
because I mean, think what he's saying.
-
He's like, I was counting one by one
-
to find out the account.
-
This is an accountant.
-
So he's like, here's a name and here's a name
-
and here's this person.
-
I'm counting them one by one.
-
So that's diligent.
-
And he's like, I couldn't find a virtuous woman.
-
Is what he's saying out of a thousand.
-
So it's like, all right, here's the list
-
of every single person in our district, our area,
-
our kingdom or whatever.
-
And he's just like, he's just got thousands,
-
imagine he just has thousands of names,
-
just thousands and thousands of names of people.
-
And he's just like, all right, we have,
-
and again, just for sake of argument,
-
we'll throw some numbers.
-
He's like, I have 100,000 men
-
and he's like, here's the guys that I think are virtuous.
-
And he's like, it's about a thousand to one ratio.
-
Like he's like, he plugged it in
-
and he put it in the calculator
-
and it's like 0.1% of the men.
-
And he's like, on the women category, it was less.
-
And it's not saying that it doesn't exist.
-
He's just saying even one out of a thousand.
-
Now again, I'm not saying that this is reflective of today.
-
I don't even know.
-
But he is putting an actual number to it.
-
He is saying statistically,
-
he can't even find one out of a thousand women
-
that are virtuous.
-
Is what he's saying, that would be an upright woman
-
that's seeking the Lord.
-
And again, he then, what would be the accusation?
-
Think about it.
-
If you said, I've studied, I've done the measurements,
-
I've calculated, I did a huge sample
-
and statistically, not even one out of a thousand women
-
is a virtuous woman, then what would be the implication?
-
Well, God, why did you make women so bad?
-
But then he clarifies and says, no, no, no, no, no.
-
God made them upright.
-
God gave them the opportunity to do right.
-
God didn't do anything wrong here.
-
They sought out many inventions.
-
God made them perfect in the garden.
-
God made them male and female.
-
And he said everything he created was very good.
-
Yet the woman was deceived.
-
The woman went after the advice of the serpent.
-
She took of that forbidden fruit.
-
She did that of her own volition, of her own accord.
-
And so, what is the Bible painting this picture though?
-
Why would I say hashtag believe all women
-
when one out of a thousand isn't even virtuous?
-
I mean, you can't even find one out of a thousand
-
statistically.
-
And again, these numbers don't necessarily
-
seem to be that off from what we even see in the world today.
-
And sorry to wake you up to reality,
-
but that is what the biblical text is saying.
-
And we see even similar parallels in our society today.
-
And so, we should be very careful
-
when we have these ideas of just quote,
-
believe all people, when the Bible's saying,
-
man, it's statistically a train wreck.
-
Now I wanna go to Ephesians chapter five,
-
go to Ephesians chapter number five.
-
So then, if women are, by and large, not that virtuous
-
and having this particular statement
-
being made about them, what should women do then?
-
I mean, this is gonna affect most people.
-
It's like, you know what they should do?
-
They should get married and submit to their husband.
-
That's what they should do.
-
Ephesians chapter five, look at verse number 22,
-
Wives, submitting 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's the savior of the body.
-
Therefore, as the church is subject unto Christ,
-
so let the wise be to their own husbands in everything.
-
You know, the Bible says from a biblical default,
-
women are just to submit and do whatever their husband says,
-
not believe all women, what it should be,
-
women should submit to their husband.
-
That's the biblical model.
-
That's how we should actually view society.
-
Look at verse Timothy chapter two
-
and we'll probably come back to this
-
for a different point as well,
-
but there's no harm in repeating myself this morning.
-
For you it is safe, all right?
-
We don't wanna turn into Mexico.
-
Did you hear the testimony about Mexico?
-
Man.
-
First Timothy chapter two, look at verse 11,
-
let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
-
But I suffer not a woman to teach,
-
nor you serve 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.
-
The Bible is saying the woman transgressed through deception.
-
She was deceived and she transgressed.
-
And so what is the point though,
-
what is the bigger point that's being made?
-
Number one in verse 11, a subjection,
-
re-emphasize in verse number 12
-
that she's not to use serp authority.
-
That's what subjection means.
-
And then the Bible says why?
-
Why is it that a woman would not be in charge?
-
Why is it that a woman should not use serp authority?
-
Why is it that the biblical order
-
is that a man and then a woman?
-
And then it gives a specific reason.
-
Verse 13, because she was formed second
-
and then another reason is because
-
she was deceived and Adam was not, okay?
-
That's just what the Bible clearly says.
-
And again, of course, in this sermon,
-
I'm pointing out that number one,
-
the Bible teaches that it's rare
-
to find a virtuous woman.
-
It's rare to find this woman
-
and so therefore women should submit to their husbands.
-
That is what the Bible teaches.
-
Go back to Proverbs, Proverbs chapter five.
-
And we need to make sure that we understand
-
that God is giving us instructions
-
that permeate all timelines.
-
This isn't like, oh, this used to be a problem back then
-
or culturally, we have to understand this.
-
No, culturally, men and women have been the same.
-
And he's talking to young Timothy,
-
think about the timeline here.
-
He's talking to young Timothy in a first century context
-
and he's bringing up Adam and Eve.
-
That's pretty far removed.
-
That's a pretty different civilization.
-
And he's saying, hey, because of what happened
-
in the garden, this is how y'all
-
are supposed to behave yourself now.
-
Then why would I think that whatever the Bible's teaching
-
in the first century wouldn't apply now?
-
I mean, there's gotta be, there's probably more parallel
-
to our society in first century
-
than the first century in the garden, okay?
-
The garden doesn't have civilization and towns
-
and all this other stuff.
-
It's just a dude and his wife in the garden, okay?
-
Like that's a pretty different culture.
-
That's a pretty different environment, okay?
-
But then he's saying, just like it was then,
-
you need to do it now.
-
So then I would also agree that first century applies to today.
-
Why there's no new thing under the sun?
-
Everything's the same.
-
And it's the same circumstances, same life situations.
-
That's why jokes can be funny to a broad audience
-
about marriage because we all go through the same stuff.
-
People that make marriage jokes, everybody's laughing
-
because we all kind of go through the same things,
-
the same cycles, the same events.
-
There's no new thing under the sun.
-
It's not like, oh, well, you know,
-
my wife is different than otherwise.
-
Not really.
-
By and large, they all kind of have
-
the same shared experiences, the same things.
-
You're gonna experience relatively similar events.
-
Now, my second point of why we wouldn't want
-
to believe all women, and this is really kind of
-
aimed towards young men, is that the Bible warns
-
that there are certain women that are very permissive
-
and they don't take virginity seriously.
-
And these are very dangerous women in the Bible, okay?
-
And it's not only that you get entrapped in fornication
-
and the consequences of fornication,
-
it's that when they're loose in this area
-
of their morals, they're loose in all morals.
-
The same woman that'll commit this kind of a sin
-
is the same kind of woman that'll lie and steal
-
and commit murder and just all kinds of horrific traps
-
that also are conjoined in this particular area.
-
So that's why you wanna stay far away
-
from this kind of woman.
-
Look at Proverbs chapter five, verse three,
-
for the lips of a strange woman drop as in honeycomb
-
and her mouth is smoother than oil,
-
but her end is bitter as warmwood.
-
Sharp as a two-edged sword, her feet go down to death,
-
her steps take hold on hell.
-
So according to the Bible, there's a danger
-
associated with a permissive woman or a promiscuous woman.
-
Look at chapter seven, verse 21.
-
With her much fair speech, she caused him to yield.
-
With the flattering of her lips, she forced him.
-
He goes after her straightway as an ox goeth to the slaughter
-
or as a fool to the correction of the stocks
-
till a dart strike through his liver
-
as a bird hasteth to the snare and knoweth not
-
that it is for his life.
-
Now notice again, the Bible's painting this picture
-
of like you go and lie with this permissive,
-
promiscuous woman and you die.
-
Like there's death associated with this type of woman
-
and this is a reality.
-
This is why you wanna stay far away
-
from these type of women.
-
It says till a dart strike through his liver
-
and as a bird hasteth to the snare
-
and knoweth not that it is for his life.
-
Notice again, it's like, oh, bird thinks
-
that this little food in this cage is gonna be nice.
-
He eats the food.
-
It's not that the food's bad.
-
In fact, the food's probably great.
-
I mean, my dad has set up a lot of traps
-
and time passed, especially when he catch squirrels,
-
you know, not necessarily birds but squirrels
-
and he would take like acorns and stuff
-
and they love acorns and they like slather
-
and peanut butter and stuff.
-
And for whatever reason, squirrels love peanut butter
-
and I'll be honest with you,
-
it probably was the greatest acorn
-
that these squirrels have ever enjoyed.
-
Like because it was designed that way.
-
I mean, it's like, hey, this is smoother than oil.
-
Like this experience may be
-
the best experience you've ever had
-
and it might be the sweetest experience you've ever had
-
but here's the thing, it's fake.
-
It's not real.
-
Most acorns are never gonna be like that
-
because they don't fall out of the tree
-
with peanut butter on them
-
because the peanut butter was a trap.
-
This is why it's also dangerous
-
to commit a lot of fornication when you're young
-
is because a lot of that fornication is fake
-
and it's not real
-
and it's not even representative of what marriage
-
or a healthy relationship would be.
-
And so then people are chasing
-
peanut butter coated acorns the rest of their life
-
but they don't, they're not real.
-
They don't exist.
-
It's fake.
-
It's not a legitimate experience.
-
It's a hyped up, built up, fake experience
-
where she's just flattering you
-
and she's like, oh, you're just so amazing and so awesome.
-
Like you're around this woman
-
and she's like, you're just awesome
-
and so handsome and so amazing.
-
Like if you think going into marriage,
-
your wife's gonna talk to you like that every day,
-
you're lying to yourself.
-
Okay.
-
Now look, if you can, as a wife, sustain such a,
-
you can coat every acorn with peanut butter, go for it.
-
But let's just be honest, it's not real, okay?
-
And it's like men and women,
-
they get trapped thinking like this dating phase
-
where they had someone lying to them and deceiving them
-
and going through experiences
-
that are not genuine and sincere.
-
Like that's gonna be permeated.
-
It's like, why is Hollywood
-
getting divorced and remarried every few years
-
or constantly swapping women
-
because they're chasing this not real situation, okay?
-
And it's not that the experience
-
you'll think was a bad experience.
-
It was a peanut butter coated acorn that tasted so good
-
but the problem was it was a trap.
-
The trap and the trap is gonna kill you.
-
And of course for the man, it's like,
-
hey, oh, I like this experience
-
but it's gonna kill you, it's gonna harm you,
-
it's dangerous, you don't wanna go down that road.
-
And so as a young man, you know what you need to do?
-
Stay away from bars, stay away from casinos,
-
stay away from gentlemen's clubs,
-
stay away from the restaurants
-
that are advertising women and loose clothing
-
or in revealing clothing.
-
Just stay away from those places,
-
stay away from the woman that's looking like a whore
-
and dressing like a harlot.
-
You just don't go around these type of situations
-
because it's not that you won't be enticed
-
by the acorn, you will.
-
It's not that you wouldn't even enjoy it.
-
You probably would, that's the whole point.
-
I don't have to warn you about things
-
that you're not tempted with.
-
You know, it's like, you're not gonna be tempted
-
with something that you don't wanna do.
-
It's something you do want to do.
-
It's something that comes naturally.
-
It's something that is enticing, it's seducing.
-
That's the whole point.
-
Just like the tree that had the fruit on it
-
of the tree of knowledge of good and evil
-
that you're not supposed to eat,
-
I guarantee the fruit looked good.
-
I wouldn't even say, you know,
-
there's nothing in the biblical record
-
that says that when Adam ate eight of the tree,
-
that they were like, wow, that tasted gross.
-
There's nothing to say
-
that they didn't even enjoy the fruit that they ate.
-
And because of the fact that it's silent,
-
I would almost think it almost sounds
-
like it probably did taste good.
-
There's probably nothing about it
-
that necessarily was a bad experience,
-
but you know what the bad experience was?
-
The guilt, the shame, and the consequence
-
from eating such a fruit.
-
Okay, now maybe it was rotten.
-
I have no idea.
-
I can't prove that either way.
-
But what I would say is that the Bible teaches
-
that there's the pleasures of sin.
-
And so if the general principle is the pleasures of sin,
-
I would venture to believe that this fruit
-
probably even tasted good.
-
But you know what?
-
Just because it tastes good or feels good
-
doesn't make it right.
-
And that's what most people are using.
-
Oh, this fornication is so good
-
and I enjoyed it so much.
-
Why would God want to keep me away from this?
-
The same way that if a squirrel had a brain in its head
-
and actually understood things,
-
it wouldn't want to go into the trap
-
and eat the acorn with peanut butter
-
because it's gonna kill him.
-
Is the same way that God's trying to prevent you
-
from going into a trap and destroying yourself.
-
And it's not he's trying to withhold you from pleasure.
-
He's trying to withhold you from being destroyed.
-
He's trying to withhold you from flattery
-
and insincere motives and a bad heart
-
and something that's gonna cause a lot of emotional damage
-
from this particular woman.
-
Verse 24.
-
Harken unto me now therefore you children
-
and attend to the words of my mouth.
-
Let not thine heart decline to her ways.
-
Go not astray in her paths
-
for she hath cast down many wounded,
-
yet many strong men have been slain by her.
-
Her house is the way to hell
-
going down to the chambers of death.
-
Notice many strong men
-
and I don't think it's even just limited
-
to physical strength, mental strength, financial strength.
-
Just men of great power influence.
-
Probably the most clear example in the Bible
-
would be that of Samson.
-
And let's go and read a little bit about that story.
-
Go to Judges chapter 16.
Judges 16 chapter mention
-
So you know what?
-
Young men do not believe all women.
-
When a woman says to you, you're so handsome.
-
You're so strong.
-
It's like you can't even bench press the bar.
-
Don't believe her, okay?
-
It's like every woman in my entire life
-
has been turned off by me
-
and like runs in the other direction.
-
But this woman says that I'm Brad Pitt.
-
Be skeptical of that, okay?
-
Don't believe all women
-
because there's a lot of women
-
that will entice young men and lie to them
-
and flatter them and tell them things
-
that are insincere, okay?
-
And so men need to guard themselves against horrors,
-
against the flattery, against the deception
-
that's out there and say, you know what?
-
I want a woman that genuinely loves me
-
and cares about me and is realistic about that.
-
You know, if you're going on a date
-
and occasionally she makes some jokes at your expense,
-
it's probably better
-
than if she's just flattering you constantly.
-
And the Bible warns about the flattery,
-
it warns about these things.
-
You know, a woman that's saying, hey,
-
I'm saving myself for my husband,
-
it's much safer than saying,
-
oh, you know, I wanna be with you
-
because you're so amazing and you know, whatever.
-
Hey, a woman that will kiss you on the first date
-
will kiss any guy on the first date.
-
But here's what men wanna believe.
-
No, no, no.
-
She would only kiss me because I'm so awesome.
-
I'm so handsome.
-
Like, I know like all the other guys,
-
she's just like dweebs,
-
but he's just, he's a superstar.
-
You know, it's a lie.
-
It's a lie.
-
She's like, if she's so into you on the first date,
-
she would be into virtually any guy on the first date.
-
And it's hard for you to wanna admit that,
-
but sometimes we have to have a humble view of ourselves.
-
We have to have a lowly view of ourselves
-
and realize, hey, this woman,
-
while it sounds nice to believe
-
that a woman likes you so much, it's not real.
-
It's not genuine.
-
It's not sincere.
-
You know, praise God.
-
I mean, my mom always told me about,
-
like my mom was always harping on this.
-
I didn't believe it at all, okay.
-
Like, my mom's just constantly like,
-
John, there's gonna be these women
-
that are gonna act like they really like you
-
and they're fake and they're not sincere.
-
And I just kept thinking like,
-
where are all these women at?
-
You know, like, she's like, what is she talking about?
-
But it's real that there are permissive,
-
promiscuous women in this world
-
that will entrap young men
-
and they just have bad motives, bad ideas
-
and they just wanna corrupt people.
-
And, you know, of course,
-
if you struggle with conceit a little bit, you know,
-
you're probably more prone to this.
-
You know, if you're a guy
-
that is, you know, a little bit more handsome
-
or has some money or is good-looking or athletic,
-
you're probably just even more prone
-
to believing those kind of the statements.
-
And so, you know, you should be very careful
-
with being around this type of woman.
-
Don't just believe them.
-
Be careful.
-
Make sure this woman actually does really like you.
-
And there's plenty of ways to test these things,
-
like time, you know, not necessarily
-
just giving her lots of money or incentives.
-
You know, take her on cheap fund dates,
-
take her to church.
-
Like, if she's coming to church with you,
-
you know, and you're not even like
-
paying for these elaborate meals or something,
-
she probably likes you, you know?
-
If it's just like you're taking her five-star restaurants
-
and just, you know, buying her gifts and stuff like that,
-
you may not be able to discover what her real motives are.
-
You want to be careful, you know,
-
and identifying does this person really love you?
-
Do they really care about you?
-
And of course, Samson is kind of the poster child
-
for a guy who doesn't really think with his heart, okay?
-
Now, judges chapter 16, look at verse four.
Judges 16 chapter mention
-
And it came to pass afterward that he loved a woman
-
in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.
-
And the Lord of the Philistines came up under her
-
and said in her, entice him and see,
-
wearing his great streak lyeth.
-
And by what means, we may prevail against him,
-
that we may bind him to afflict him
-
and we will give the every one of us 1100 pieces of silver.
-
Now, this was kind of sad about the story.
-
I believe that when the Bible says
-
that Samson loved Delilah, that it's sincere.
-
Like, I think that Samson would have probably been
-
with Delilah for the rest of his life,
-
like if she reciprocated and she wanted to be with him.
-
So I don't think that he necessarily dislikes her,
-
I think he really genuinely likes her, he loves her.
-
In fact, he loves her so much,
-
at one point he's willing to reveal his secret under her,
-
which is a pretty important thing, like to him.
-
It's not something that he would tell some woman lightly.
-
So he must have strong feelings and affections
-
for this woman that he cares about so much.
-
You know, you can almost see, and it's to a fault in a sense
-
that he's gonna end up being punished
-
and have to suffer for this.
-
You know, you kind of almost could see some parallels
-
with Jesus Christ and Samson
-
and like Delilah being like Israel
-
and how Israel's is constantly betraying him
-
and stabbing in the back and he just loves her anyways.
-
And even after revealing the secret, like the gospel,
-
then she ends up killing him
-
like the Jews end up killing Jesus Christ.
-
And of course, Jesus is kind of picture
-
through Samson's sacrifice and he pushes the pillars,
-
kind of almost a foreshadowing of the gospel
-
and him being on the cross.
-
So while Samson's kind of a messed up, screwed up character
-
and he doesn't have the same virtuous attributes
-
as Jesus Christ, there's still some parallels there
-
and you can kind of see.
-
And so I would liken in his love under Delilah
-
as kind of how Jesus loves Israel
-
even though they don't reciprocate,
-
even though they betray him.
-
And that's how Israel was, they betrayed Jesus
-
and she betrays him.
-
But we can still learn from the Cardinal Trues here
-
and still realize even though that's a great spiritual truth,
-
like the Cardinal Trues are still like,
-
don't make these decisions and don't be like Samson, okay?
-
Because Samson's still making mistakes here
-
and doing bad things, but he loves this woman
-
and think about this, she's kind of got the best guy.
-
I mean, there's not really a better guy.
-
In a sense that he's the strongest guy,
-
he's probably doing okay financially
-
because he's able to just slaughter Philistines
-
and take a lot of their goods.
-
So he's probably doing okay financially.
-
He's the strongest guy, he's the most godly of anybody.
-
He's a judge and he's just kind of like,
-
he's kind of like the bad boy.
-
You would think like this is the guy,
-
like every girl wants to be with Samson.
-
I mean, he's the dude.
-
And yet she still loves money more than Samson.
-
Why? Because she was the wrong kind of woman.
-
Even if given the right guy,
-
the wrong woman will destroy him too.
-
Like there's not like, oh, well,
-
she just needs to find her soulmate.
-
Her soulmate was money because she's just a lover of herself.
-
She's the selfish woman that doesn't love any man
-
because she kind of has the best guy
-
and she's still not satisfied with the best guy.
-
The Elizabeth Taylor, seven husbands.
-
It's just like you can't be satisfied
-
with some guy that's a hunk and has money.
-
It's just like these type of women will never be satisfied.
-
And that's why you have to be careful
-
with this kind of a woman that would sell you out.
-
I mean, look, the promiscuous woman,
-
notice she will sell you for money to be killed.
-
She would sell your soul
-
and allow you to be destroyed, tortured and murdered
-
just for money.
-
And again, I do believe we see modern day parallels
-
of women like this, like the Amber Heard,
-
a woman that would probably sell out whoever man,
-
whatever man she is for money,
-
just simply murder and allow him to die.
-
If we skip to verse 16,
-
says,
-
And it came to pass when she pressed him daily
-
with her words and urged him
-
so that his soul was vexed and to death
-
that he told her all his heart.
-
So she's lying to him saying,
-
I just want to find out what's going on,
-
like tell me because I want you to prove your love to me.
-
But she was lying.
-
She wanted the secret to be used against him.
-
And that's why you don't believe all women
-
and don't believe the promiscuous woman.
-
Don't believe the woman
-
that is not going to be saving herself for marriage
-
and be that virgin woman or virtuous woman
-
because by and large, most of the time,
-
they have ulterior motives
-
and they don't have your heart and mind
-
and they would betray you.
-
And I'm not saying that every woman
-
that's committed fornication will kill you.
-
I'm not saying that they're all going to sell you out.
-
But at the end of the day,
-
this is the type of woman to stay away from,
-
the Bible's warning,
-
the Bible's saying the sinner is going to be destroyed
-
by this particular person
-
and not just evil people,
-
just even a godly person that becomes a sinner,
-
Samson,
-
a godly person that goes down a sinful path,
-
being with a lot of women,
-
committing a lot of fornication.
-
And of course, as a result of that,
-
he ends up being with the wrong woman.
-
He kind of has this problem his whole life.
-
First wife, bad marriage, bad relationship,
-
she dies, she's burnt with fire.
-
Then it's like he just lays with harlots.
-
Then it's like now we meet Stalila.
-
He's just on a crash course.
-
And I think there's a lot of men on this crash course
-
and because of it, they never even hear the gospel.
-
They're not even interested
-
and that's why they die and go to hell.
-
And so that's why you should just avoid this type of woman.
-
Even if you are saved,
-
just avoid it because,
-
hey, she might vex you
-
until she just gets all your secrets, all your money
-
and then just takes you.
-
And look, there's a lot of women in society today
-
that commit adultery in America
-
and then sue their husband
-
and take all their alimony,
-
all their child support
-
and it was some other dude
-
just vexing them every day of their life
-
because she was the wrong kind of woman.
-
It's a scary thing.
-
It's a scary, scary thing.
-
That's what you need to stay away from
-
that kind of a woman.
-
It says, in a cane to passman,
-
she pressed him daily with her words
-
and urged him so that his soul was vexed into death,
-
that he told her all his heart
-
and said into her,
-
there had not come a razor upon my head
-
for I have been a Nazarite under God
-
from my mother's womb.
-
If I be shaven, then my strength will go from me
-
and I shall become weak
-
and be like an other man,
-
be like any other man.
-
And when Delilah saw that he told her all his heart,
-
she sinned and called for the lords of the Philistines
-
saying, come up this once,
-
for he hath showed me all his heart,
-
then the lords of the Philistines came up under her
-
and brought money into their hands.
-
So again, from a spiritual perspective,
-
you kind of see like
-
he's never violated this commandment,
-
kind of like how Jesus never sinned.
-
And then he's shaven,
-
which makes him weak
-
in the sense that Jesus then bears the sins
-
of all the people becomes weak
-
and is capable of dying.
-
And of course he dies in our place on the cross.
-
So there's all kinds of different spiritual parallels here,
-
but he tells her a secret.
-
Here's another lesson you should learn, men.
-
Don't tell women that you're not married to your secrets.
-
Don't just give her the keys to the kingdom
-
because she could use that against you.
-
You know, if you're not, think about it,
-
you can't even get married
-
and then you're gonna tell her
-
the most important secret you could possibly tell her.
-
You know, and we even struggle with this in our government
-
where you have these women
-
that are enticing some of our foreign officials
-
to literally get government secrets out of them.
-
It's got like being honey potted,
-
or they basically, it's fang fang.
-
You know, they just have these like Chinese women
-
coming in pretending that they like these politicians
-
just to get national secrets
-
and just to somehow swoop in there
-
and find out kind of government secrets.
-
Like, this is a reality.
-
And it's the same playbook as they did with the Lila.
-
It should just be called Operation Delilah.
-
You know, going in and just getting these secrets.
-
And of course, they don't like these guys
-
because they're handsome or they actually care about them.
-
They're just flattering them
-
and using them for secrets and attention.
-
And you know what?
-
Do not give secrets to a woman you're not married to.
-
Don't share all your heart to a woman you're not married to.
-
You know, there's some things,
-
there's some levels of intimacy
-
that are reserved for marriage.
-
And you want to be careful with who you marry
-
and marry a godly woman.
-
You know, the virtuous woman,
-
the heart of her husband does safely trust in her.
-
The heart of a hooker, of a whore, of a harlot?
-
No.
-
Of a prostitute?
-
No.
-
Of this kind of a woman?
-
No.
-
And you know what?
-
It's crazy to think about the story
-
and I know we skipped it.
-
But it's like, how many times did she lie to him already?
-
It's like, look, especially,
-
I mean, this woman's lying to you repeatedly
-
and you're catching her in her lies.
-
Why would you then reveal a secret to her?
-
Why would you then do this?
-
But you know, the Bible had said in Proverbs 7
-
that like, after a much fair speech, she forced him.
-
It's almost like they still have some kind of control.
-
That's why you just don't give your strength
-
unto women, as Proverbs 31 told us.
-
And you know, we see Samson literally
-
giving his strength unto Delilah
-
and she uses it against him
-
and causes him to be a captive.
-
His eyes get poked out
-
and he becomes someone that's just grinding
-
and just in the prison house until his death.
-
Now, I looked at some modern examples of this
-
because it's really important
-
that we don't just quote, believe all women.
-
And there are modern examples
-
of women doing this kind of stuff.
-
And so, you know, if you for some reason
-
decide to say, I don't care what Pastor Shelley said,
-
I'm gonna go to the bars.
-
I'm gonna go to college
-
and I'm gonna go to the fraternities
-
and I'm gonna go to the sorority houses
-
and I'm gonna go to all the parties
-
and I'm gonna hang out with these permissive women.
-
Well, you might end up becoming
-
someone that gets falsely accused.
-
Not only would you not necessarily say,
-
well, I won't make that mistake.
-
Okay, but you know what?
-
You could be around a woman like Potiphar's wife
-
and you say, I don't even wanna do that
-
and you were virtuous,
-
but you were just in the wrong place
-
and then she falsely accuses you.
-
So like, not only are there men
-
that commit fornication and destroy themselves,
-
there's men that don't commit fornication
-
but just decided to ignore my advice,
-
ignore the Bible's advice,
-
ignore God's word
-
and just go in the wrong place
-
around the wrong people
-
and then they lie about you.
-
Now, here's an example.
-
It was like 2005 in New York
-
and I'm gonna mispronounce her name.
-
I don't know, it's Bernie Poguerro
-
and I'm probably mispronouncing her name,
-
but she falsely claimed
-
that she was forced by a knife point,
-
by a construction worker named William McCaffrey
-
and two other men.
-
And then McCaffrey was convicted
-
and served four years in prison
-
until DNA evidence came out
-
and overturned the conviction
-
and it found out that she completely lied about it
-
and she was guilty of perjury
-
and fabricated the entire story.
-
So some dude just literally in prison
-
for four plus years
-
because some woman
-
just completely fabricated an entire story about him.
-
Another girl, Crystal Mangum,
-
she was at Duke University
-
and she was going to parties with the La Crosse team.
-
So these guys that were playing La Crosse,
-
she accused multiple players
-
of forcing her at a party
-
and then the players were indicted.
-
It became a national media incident
-
and then later it found out
-
that she was completely lying about it
-
but it ruined these guys' reputations,
-
it disrupted their college experience
-
like all this crazy stuff
-
and of course once you get labeled by the media
-
as a rapist,
-
it's pretty hard to continue playing La Crosse,
-
it's pretty hard to continue going to school
-
and getting a job and anybody liking you.
-
I mean, that's hard to get away from the stain
-
of that particular accusation.
-
This same woman,
-
so she falsely accuses
-
multiple La Crosse players of doing this, right?
-
Just a few years later,
-
she ends up murdering her boyfriend
-
and then she's in prison,
-
then she came out and publicly admitted
-
that she had lied about the whole story
-
of the La Crosse players
-
and that it was totally fabricated.
-
It's like, hey, this woman that's really permissive,
-
I met this girl at a party.
-
Well, she might lie about you.
-
She might even kill you, literally.
-
Okay, don't think like, oh, but she said I'm so handsome
-
and she said she likes me and you know what?
-
It's a lie, it's flattery.
-
Don't believe these promiscuous,
-
whorish women,
-
stay away from the parties,
-
stay away from the bars,
-
stay away from these areas.
-
You know, you should just realize
-
that women can be a trap.
-
And it's a hard lesson because you just kind of think,
-
no, women are so sweet and they're so kind
-
and they're so gentle and they would never lie
-
and you know, women just,
-
they have a heart of gold.
-
It's like, the Bible doesn't pay this picture.
-
The Bible paints a picture
-
that mankind in general is very sinful.
-
Mankind in general is a liar
-
and that according to the Bible,
-
a virtuous woman is actually very rare.
-
It's not common, it's rare.
-
Meaning that young men should be searching hard for a wife,
-
not just taking whatever comes their way.
-
Not just taking some flusy that lies to them
-
and flatters them,
-
but actually being diligent in the search.
-
Go back to 1st Timothy chapter two,
-
go back to 1st Timothy chapter two.
-
So what have we learned so far?
-
Number one, that virtuous women are rare.
-
Number two, that permissive women are very dangerous
-
and young men need to not believe
-
the promiscuous woman.
-
A woman that's dressed like a whore or a hooker.
-
Don't believe it when she says that she's super into you.
-
She's probably lying.
-
You know, the Bible says the adulterous
-
will hunt for the precious life.
-
And this doesn't go just for single men.
-
Hey, you married men,
-
don't think that that adulterous woman
-
is somehow into you.
-
She's willing to commit adultery.
-
And you, oh, but she wouldn't lie to me.
-
Come on, really?
-
Lying is way less and way more likely
-
than committing adultery.
-
A woman that will commit adultery with you
-
will do all manner of things.
-
And in fact, in some cases,
-
I think that their only goal in life is just to ruin people.
-
It's just destroy people.
-
You know, you don't want to be around Potiphar's wife.
-
Potiphar's wife, she just wants to commit adultery.
-
Nope, she's willing to lie about it
-
and commit Joseph to prison for the rest of his life.
-
She didn't even know if it was prison.
-
He could have died.
-
They could have just executed him.
-
Potiphar could have just killed Joseph on the spot.
-
I mean, you know, if some guy came home
-
and the wife is like, you know,
-
in a distressed position with garments that are ripped
-
or whatever and said, this guy was trying to force me.
-
I mean, a lot of guys would just kill the guy on the spot.
-
Especially a guy of status against a slave.
-
I mean, you would think that there's,
-
it's probably even just legal.
-
I mean, he could probably just kill a slave if he wanted.
-
It seemed like maybe he was a little skeptical.
-
I don't know.
-
Like, I don't know why he just put her in prison,
-
put him in prison,
-
because in most cases you'd probably just be like,
-
just kill him, you know,
-
or let me kill him or something.
-
Obviously he was upset about the situation.
-
And obviously from a public perspective,
-
he kind of has to just believe his wife.
-
But you know what?
-
You don't have to just believe Potiphar's wife
-
and you don't stay away from her.
-
Men stay away from the bars, stay away.
-
You know, if you work in an environment
-
where you're around other women,
-
don't get chummy with them.
-
Don't try to form some weird relationship with them.
-
You know, I worked in a lot of places
-
where there's a lot of women earlier in my careers,
-
you know, working in banks and working in these institutions.
-
And women would go around and joke.
-
This was a common thing.
-
Teachers and women in the banking system,
-
they would joke about a guy at work
-
being their work husband.
-
Who's ever heard this before?
-
They're quote, work husband.
-
Look, it is a wicked and adulterous environment out there.
-
And you don't get you a work husband
-
or a work wife or whatever nonsense.
-
There was a bank that was kind of known
-
as the White Swapping Bank that when I was working there
-
was just like constant, just adultery
-
and constant nonsense going on.
-
Unfortunately, a lot of people I've known personally
-
that I thought were good people.
-
Like I like the person.
-
They seem like a pretty good person.
-
I've known they committed adultery.
-
Their wives committed adultery on them.
-
They're now divorced.
-
They're just all kinds of train wreck.
-
I mean, it is, it is common.
-
Don't believe it.
-
Stay away from it.
-
And you know, even if there is an exception,
-
almost every time they would always admit to me
-
like it was not worth it.
-
It's ruined their lives, that they're so distressed.
-
Like they're not just like,
-
oh, I committed adultery is the best thing
-
I've ever done in my life or now I'm so happy.
-
Like it was always a train wreck,
-
always a disaster.
-
In most cases they're like trying to still like
-
stay with their spouse.
-
Like they commit adultery and then they realize,
-
wow, I didn't want to be with that woman.
-
She was, she's psycho.
-
She's crazy.
-
I wish I could just go back and be with my wife.
-
You know, I wish I could go back and be with my husband.
-
I wish I could have this relationship prepared again.
-
And unfortunately a lot of times
-
it's hard to put that genie back in the bottle.
-
So you just don't believe it.
-
Don't believe it.
-
Stay away from it.
-
It's dangerous.
-
And our society is becoming more adulterous
-
and more promiscuous by the second.
-
It's scary.
-
First Timothy chapter two, look at verse 11 again.
-
We're reading this again.
-
Let the woman learn in silence is all subjection,
-
but I suffer not a woman to teach
-
nor assert 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 is in the transgression.
-
I would say that the Bible is teaching two points here.
-
Number three would be that women are,
-
biblically speaking, a little bit more gullible
-
by and large than men.
-
I mean, that's just what the Bible is saying here.
-
Now am I saying that all women are more gullible
-
than all men?
-
No, but generally speaking,
-
the Bible is saying that women
-
are a little bit more gullible here.
-
And if you look at chapter, I think it's,
-
yeah, second Timothy, just flip the page.
-
Second Timothy chapter three.
-
Here's another text that we could look at.
-
Verse six.
-
For of this sort are they which creep into houses
-
talking about false prophets
-
and lead captive, silly women laid in with sins,
-
led away with divers lust.
-
So the Bible says like,
-
who are the people that are most likely to be deceived?
-
It's the silly women.
-
The Bible talks about beguiling, unstable souls.
-
It's been an old adage that the vacuum salesman
-
would try to capture a lady that's alone at home
-
while her husband's at work
-
to sell her a bill of goods.
-
That the used car salesman or a car salesman
-
or a mechanic would take advantage of the housewife
-
just because she's not as knowledgeable and more trusting.
-
And I think by nature, it's not so much
-
that women are just gullible, it's that they're trusting.
-
And it's that God inherently created women
-
to be a very trusting person
-
because she's supposed to be led by her husband
-
and she's supposed to be putting all that trust
-
and all of that reliance into her husband.
-
But unfortunately, when any kind of man
-
is speaking very confidently with a lot of authority,
-
it can be very believable to a lot of women.
-
And that's why it's very dangerous
-
and that's why you should be very careful.
-
But of course, not only that, even just women today,
-
because they become so influential online
-
with TikTok, social media, influencers
-
that now a lot of women are listening
-
to a lot of women online and they're falling victim of this.
-
And it's not even just the man at False Prophet,
-
it is there's literal women preachers now.
-
And women pastors and they're just leading
-
all kinds of other women astray.
-
You have all these non-denominational churches
-
like Lake Point with Josh Houghton,
-
he's boasting of 30, 40,000 people
-
going to his church on a weekend.
-
30, 40,000 people are going to church
-
and he has women preachers coming into their church
-
all the time.
-
They have women events where they're just having
-
a woman get up there and preach whatever nonsense
-
to the women and these churches.
-
And of course, a lot of these women,
-
a lot of these churches, they're lifting up
-
people like Candice Owens, lifting up people
-
like Ali Bestucky and other women podcasters
-
and influencers out there and just listening
-
to all this, there's just all this information
-
going out there and they're being led astray.
-
They're being deceived just like the serpent,
-
the guile Eve in the garden and women,
-
silly women, which is meaning
-
they're not taking things seriously
-
and they're easily led astray.
-
They're laden with sins, a lot of divorces
-
and what I've noticed and I'm not saying it's all
-
but what I've noticed is a lot of these women podcasters
-
and women influencers, when you look at the comment section,
-
when you look at the people liking
-
and supporting these posts, it is disproportionately
-
filled with women that are divorced,
-
separated from their husbands, just hardcore feminists.
-
It is attracting a certain type of woman
-
which is abort them and bolster them
-
and they're looking for someone to itch those,
-
to scratch those itching ears in a sense.
-
They want to hear this kind of information
-
but here's the problem is these women preachers,
-
these women influencers are preaching
-
and saying a lot of lies.
-
It's like Candace Owens, first of all, she's a Catholic.
-
Case closed, don't listen to her ever again, okay?
-
Not only is she a Catholic, I mean,
-
I listened to some clip at one point
-
where she was just like interested in the flatter theory
-
and she's like, I can't say that she was like
-
saying she for sure believed it
-
but she's like, I've just been really looking into it.
-
It's really interesting and I'm thinking it's fascinating
-
and I think we should all be looking into it.
-
No, we shouldn't be looking into it, okay?
-
Nonsense, not only that, more recently
-
there's been a hot button case of a woman
-
who murdered three of her children
-
and by her own defense attorney in court
-
admitted that she did it.
-
Okay, so unless you think that I'm just falling for lies,
-
I don't know why your defense would admit that
-
in open court when it wasn't true.
-
And then look, I've been in proceedings
-
where the defense is pretty bad
-
but like that's really bad, okay, if you didn't.
-
But Candace Owens is going out there online saying
-
she's obviously not guilty.
-
What do you mean obviously
-
when your defense attorneys are saying that you did it?
-
Again, from a defense perspective
-
they're just trying to say she did it but she's crazy.
-
And I was like, of course she's crazy, she killed her kids.
-
Like why is that even, why is that even you get off
-
for murder because you're crazy?
-
I would think that that would make it more like,
-
hey, well we need to put you to death then
-
because you're crazy, like, you know.
-
Oh, this one's crazy.
-
We'll put her back in society, you know.
-
It's like, no, I'd rather take the rational woman,
-
you know, like, and again, like, it's like,
-
oh, she killed a fag intruding into her house.
-
Like, okay, normal, right?
-
She's crazy and killed her own kids.
-
It's like, wow, put her to death.
-
Like who's more dangerous in society
-
than a woman that would kill her own kids?
-
Because there's no one in this planet
-
that she would love more than her own kids.
-
And it's like a woman that what,
-
lied about guys committing a capital punishment crime,
-
rape, what does the Bible say is the punishment
-
if you lie about a capital punishment crime?
-
Death, but then we didn't
-
and then she kills her boyfriend.
-
Just kills another guy, some other sucker,
-
some other gullible man, okay.
-
A woman that kills three of her kids,
-
why would you not put this woman to death?
-
That is insane.
-
I mean, our society is crazy.
-
Our society's weird.
-
And then it's this case of someone's,
-
oh, drug companies are bad.
-
And it's like, well, yeah, drug companies are bad,
-
but I'm not gonna sit here
-
and say that they're murdering children.
-
Okay, because this woman did it.
-
You know, that's a weird side effect.
-
And I've seen a lot of side effects in the commercials.
-
I've never seen that as a side effect.
-
You know, it's just like, it's weird.
-
And again, I guarantee, I guarantee that Candace Owens
-
in the next 12 months will promote some product,
-
some medical product on her show.
-
She's gonna sit here and claim big pharma butter.
-
I guarantee there'll be some sponsor
-
that's promoting some medical thing
-
that she'll be doing 12 months there
-
because people are giant hypocrites.
-
You know, is she gonna go on a campaign
-
for the next 12 months denouncing all drugs
-
and all medications and everything?
-
Is she gonna do that for us in real life?
-
No, it's just a convenient talking point
-
because she wants more people to listen to her,
-
more women to come and just be like,
-
we believe Candace, hashtag believe all women,
-
you know, women can murder their children
-
and it's no big deal.
-
And look, I don't know
-
what's gonna be the ramifications.
-
I hope that she's found guilty.
-
But you know, if she was found not guilty
-
of this particular case,
-
you know that she could serve a minimum of 40 days
-
in a psychiatric ward
-
and then be released back in the public?
-
And I'm not saying that would happen,
-
but just based on the law,
-
if she was found not guilty of this,
-
even though admitting like, I killed three of my kids,
-
but I was crazy.
-
They could say, okay, well,
-
we'll put you in a treatment facility.
-
After 40 days, we'll do an assessment
-
and if we deem you as not dangerous,
-
then we could release you back in the public
-
or then they can just do certain,
-
then there's all kinds of options here.
-
They could say, well, we wanna extend it
-
for this period of time and reevaluate.
-
And that's just basically how it works.
-
You just put in a psychiatric hold
-
and then they just evaluate you in different time periods,
-
six months at a time or 12 months at a time or whatever.
-
And they just keep reevaluating
-
and then eventually if they deem you as non-harmful,
-
then they just release you back into society.
-
Which, you know, there's probably a lot of other reasons
-
why they would release you like,
-
oh, the beds are full, we're not getting enough money
-
or whatever or they just release these people.
-
I mean, who knows why they would be making these decisions.
-
You know, this is a weird thing.
-
We're in the Bible, does it say,
-
put the crazy people in a building
-
with other crazy people until they become normal
-
and then bring them back into society.
-
You know, and then think about it.
-
What do they typically do?
-
When you put you in a psychiatric hold,
-
what is the fear and what is the thought
-
that most people think they're gonna do to you?
-
Like what is the common thing?
-
What do they do when they put you
-
in the psychiatric hold?
-
What do they give you?
-
Drugs, but isn't the whole case
-
built around the fact that the drugs made her crazy?
-
So now I'm supposed to believe we're gonna put her
-
in a building with crazy people
-
and give her more drugs
-
and she's gonna become normal again?
-
Like this is the logic of our world today.
-
Hey, these drugs made you crazy
-
and made you kill your kids.
-
We'll put you in a building with different drugs
-
and they'll magically make you good again.
-
Why didn't we give her the good drugs the first time?
-
Because that doesn't even exist, okay?
-
And look, I'm not trying to say
-
that people can't have hormone issues.
-
I'm not saying that people don't need medication.
-
I'm not trying to give you a medical lecture here.
-
I don't even care about that kind of stuff.
-
What I do care about is the fact
-
that if you murder your kids,
-
you should be put to death period.
-
It's just that simple, okay?
-
Apart from being like an actual accident
-
or unintentional, you know,
-
when you are purposely killing your kids,
-
it's over.
-
And even a biblically speaking,
-
if you were to kill someone
-
and it was through negligence, it's the death penalty.
-
Negligent slaughtering is also the death penalty.
-
You have an animal that was known to push in times past
-
and you allow that animal to slaughter someone,
-
you still get the death penalty, okay?
-
So we don't wanna sit here
-
and capitulate to this nonsense
-
and allow people like Candace to give this opinion.
-
And look, there are many women today,
-
right now, that'll still say, I think the husband did it.
-
Why?
-
Because they've listened to weird videos on TikTok
-
or whatever of women claiming,
-
oh no, the husband secretly did this all
-
and manipulated her or whatever.
-
And it's just like, why would the defense attorney
-
then again claim that she's guilty
-
if that was the legit angle here?
-
If that was the legit thing?
-
Because I believe in justice, I believe in innocence.
-
Like if someone really didn't do this,
-
why would you ever wanna admit?
-
Like why would any woman want to admit
-
she killed her three kids if she didn't?
-
I don't think anyone would do that,
-
apart from being like literally tortured for confession.
-
I don't think any woman of her own volition
-
would ever agree to such a thing, okay?
-
This is crazy, it's weird the world that we live in
-
and we should understand that, hey,
-
women can be deceived
-
and they need that authority over them
-
and whenever women are in a biblical marriage,
-
as a husband, you should be saying,
-
hey, don't listen to Candice Owens.
-
Yes, I believe that a husband has every right
-
to tell his wife she can or cannot listen to certain people.
-
Now I've gotten accused of being crazy
-
for believing this.
-
I taught this years ago
-
and I was considered crazy for believing this kind of stuff
-
but I still believe it.
-
Go over to 1 Corinthians chapter 14.
1 Corinthians 14 chapter mention
-
And this is what I get, you know, I always get mislabeled
-
because what I'm saying is just what the Bible says.
-
So they'll be like, oh, you're saying
-
that a husband is the only person
-
that can give advice to his wife.
-
No, I've never said that and I don't believe that.
-
I believe that the husband is the gatekeeper
-
for what information is coming in and out of his household
-
and he should be vetting what information is coming
-
into his household, his wife's brain and his wife's head.
-
You know, you could argue in my opinion
-
is that maybe Adam should not even let Eve
-
have had such a long conversation with the snake.
-
Okay, I mean, I think that's a reasonable thought.
-
Like what if Adam just never let her talk to the snake?
-
Maybe we wouldn't have gone down that road.
-
Okay, and I get that somehow screws up
-
the entire thing of the Bible
-
but I'm just saying in general, like as men,
-
maybe we should vet which snakes they're listening to.
-
It's like, hey, and maybe just make a rule.
-
Just don't talk to snakes.
-
Okay, but you know, there's people
-
that are kind of snakey and as men,
-
we should be like, hey, this is a snakey person.
-
You should stay away from this kind of a person
-
as a husband.
-
Look at 1 Corinthians 14, verse 34.
-
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 sayeth the law.
-
And if they will learn anything,
-
let them ask their husbands at home
-
for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
-
Now some people will obviously just
-
ignore this entire verse.
-
Like, I mean, almost every church
-
that's a non-denominational church
-
just throws this into the trash and just ignores it
-
because then they'll literally bring women up
-
and they just preach to the whole congregation.
-
Then there's kind of like a hybrid
-
where there's a lot of churches where they say,
-
well, we don't want women teaching the men
-
so we'll just have women Bible studies,
-
women Sunday school classes, women conferences
-
and they just have women getting up
-
and just teaching the Bible only to women.
-
I still think that this is a violation of this
-
because why wouldn't it just say,
-
hey, women keep silence in the churches
-
for it's not permitted unto them to speak?
-
It says, if they will learn anything,
-
let them have a private women's Bible study.
-
I mean, could they not?
-
I mean, they have the facilities obviously,
-
they're meeting at these places.
-
They have way more time on their hands than men
-
in a sense because men are going out and laboring.
-
Like you don't think they have the opportunity
-
to have a women's Bible study before church or something?
-
They of course could.
-
They said, hey, if they want to learn anything,
-
let them ask their husbands at home.
-
Okay, so I don't want to set up a women's Sunday school
-
at church.
-
I don't want to set up a women's convention
-
where we're going to have my wife doing exegesis
-
through the book of Proverbs or something like that.
-
Now look, I believe that my wife would probably
-
do a great job.
-
I don't even think that she would do a bad job
-
and my wife's really smart.
-
I'm sure people could learn things.
-
But you know what, it's just not what the Bible teaches.
-
And I'm just not going to do it.
-
I'm not going to set that up.
-
I don't want to facilitate that.
-
Here's a third way then people would interpret this
-
is they would say, well, this is only church.
-
It's okay for them to have just all these other places
-
where they're teaching women,
-
as long as it's just not quote church
-
or at church physically.
-
So they can have a Bible study on the internet
-
or they can have a Bible study in their home.
-
I don't think it was the location that was the problem.
-
I think it's the facility of facilitating
-
this type of an environment.
-
It's like where should the woman be learning?
-
It's from her husband.
-
It's from the husband authority.
-
Again, does that mean the husband knows
-
literally everything?
-
No, but you know, maybe this could be the question.
-
Hey husband, do you know this?
-
No, why don't you go ask this person
-
or why don't you go look this up?
-
That's a very reasonable conversation.
-
But instead of her just seeking out answers on her own,
-
she's allowing her husband to be a gatekeeper
-
and preventing her from getting information
-
from bad sources.
-
Because here's the reality of the internet.
-
Here's the reality of people in your personal life
-
is that every single opinion is out there.
-
There is a literal opinion on everything
-
in every direction.
-
There's milk is good, bad, ugly,
-
horrific, awesome, whatever.
-
It's like, how do you know
-
if you should even drink milk?
-
And look, this is a literal conversation.
-
I mean, me and my wife went to a pediatrician
-
where almost every visit, the pediatrician
-
is trying to tell my wife not to drink milk.
-
And she's like giving, she's like quoting the Bible.
-
It was like, I didn't ask you, you know?
-
It's like, we're here to like measure our kid
-
or whatever.
-
And she's just like, well, you know,
-
in the garden, they weren't having milk
-
or whatever and said what chapter and verse, you know?
-
And she's just saying, you know,
-
we're like the only species
-
that has other species milk, you know?
-
Cause every other species just only has its own milk
-
or whatever.
-
And it's like, okay, well, you know,
-
every other species doesn't have a soul
-
and is not going to go to heaven or hell.
-
Like I don't really give a rip, you know?
-
They're also not cooking steaks.
-
Like I've never seen two bears out in the woods
-
grillin' a steak, okay?
-
How far are we gonna take this logic?
-
You know, it's like, but I'm not joking.
-
We're going there.
-
And it's like after every visit I'm just like,
-
tell my wife like, you're gonna drink milk.
-
I don't give a rip.
-
Like, and she's just trying to like brainwash my wife
-
and me and the not drinking milk.
-
And you know what?
-
Praise God, I went to those visits
-
and it was not easy because I worked.
-
So I had to take off time from work
-
to go with her to the pediatrician.
-
What if I wasn't going there
-
and I'm not even asking her about that visit?
-
Well, she could just be getting this weird advice
-
and just start getting these weird ideas.
-
Like why is God giving you the landflown of milk and honey
-
when you shouldn't even be drinking it?
-
And you might sit here and think like,
-
oh, well, she's just a doctor.
-
Yeah, but then she's somehow preaching her doctrine
-
and her theology in a doctor's visit.
-
And you know, people really have a hard time
-
separating their theology from their advice.
-
So, you know, it's thinking like,
-
oh, this is a secular advice.
-
Many times it's very religious.
-
There's a lot of religiosity in these statements.
-
So that's why it's important to think
-
about who you're listening to.
-
You know, me and my wife, early in marriage,
-
she was, she would listen to, you know, or I guess read.
-
I guess read certain pod blogs or something.
-
And she didn't necessarily do this faithfully,
-
but she was reading sometimes a Matt Walsh blog.
-
And she liked some of the things he was saying.
-
And I was like, okay, so I read some of the articles
-
that she read that she liked.
-
Hey, you know, some of the things he was saying,
-
I was kind of like, oh, this is okay.
-
But then I'm like, so the same as I'm like,
-
this is a weird statement.
-
And then I'm like, I'm gonna look this guy up
-
and it's like, oh, he's a Catholic.
-
And I'm like, oh, that's exactly why he said that
-
because he's a Catholic
-
and he has this weird theology and whatever.
-
And I just said, hey, I don't really want you
-
to be reading his blog regularly
-
because, you know, I'm afraid
-
of whatever Catholic influence he's gonna have
-
and he has bad ideas and whatever.
-
Just don't, I don't want you to read that.
-
Why? Because of what the Bible teaches.
-
And it's not because I hate my wife.
-
It's not because I'm trying to hide
-
Matt Walsh from my wife or something like that.
-
It's because he's a bad influence.
-
And look, there's a lot of bad influences out there.
-
And there's a lot of women preachers
-
and women influences that are bad influences
-
that teach a lot of bad stuff.
-
And look, I'm not saying that women can't be educational,
-
that women can't teach good things,
-
that women don't have their places
-
and roles in society.
-
But what I am saying is that men should be
-
vetting this information.
-
And you know what?
-
I don't want my wife listening to a woman
-
that's constantly giving her theological opinion.
-
That's constantly expounding on her biblical attitudes.
-
You know, she's out there seeing some woman
-
explain to her how to cook some cookies or whatever.
-
She's like, has she got chocolate chips in it?
-
All right, I like this recipe.
-
You know what I mean?
-
Go team.
-
She's reading a recipe about how to make chili
-
with beans in it.
-
This is false doctrine.
-
You know what I mean?
-
Like, hey, I'm gonna vet this source or whatever.
-
And hey, I have preferences when it comes to food.
-
I don't know if you know that about me.
-
It's like, hey, you know,
-
when it comes to lasagna or whatever,
-
it's just like, I don't want the ricotta cheese version.
-
I want either a becamo sauce or something else.
-
So it's like, hey, you know,
-
reject this one and accept this one, right?
-
I want things prepared a certain way,
-
certain ingredients.
-
I don't really like sour cream.
-
I don't really like cream cheese.
-
There's certain recipes of foods
-
that my wife would make that have a cream cheese recipe
-
and she knows she has to reject it.
-
Or she lies to me about it, okay?
-
You know, it's one of the two, all right?
-
She'll be like, she's like, do you like that?
-
And I'm thinking like, what did she put in this?
-
You know.
-
It's like, but I can reject it
-
in the day that I hear it of, you know?
-
It's like, hey, don't do that.
-
It's like a game or something, you know?
-
Hey, I love my wife
-
and my wife is super smart
-
and she's super intelligent.
-
But here's the thing,
-
biblically speaking, I am supposed to be a gatekeeper
-
and I am supposed to protect her
-
and I'm supposed to, hey, have rules for her.
-
And you know what?
-
I think part of that is making sure
-
that she's not listening to bad voices out there
-
and not listening to bad information out there.
-
And look, we're all susceptible.
-
I'm not saying men can't be gullible.
-
I'm not saying men can't be deceived.
-
I'm not saying men can't be led astray.
-
But you know what?
-
As men, we're supposed to protect and guide our homes.
-
And you know, we should teach our wives
-
and teach the women in our lives.
-
Hey, don't believe all women.
-
Don't believe Candace.
-
Don't believe all these women podcasters.
-
Sorry, Lindsay Clancy, if she's getting to murder her children,
-
I'm not gonna believe that she's being honest
-
when she says she's insane.
-
And even if she was, that's not a defense.
-
She's probably lying about it.
-
She's probably a murderous psychopath
-
and she needs to be killed.
-
She needs to be put to death.
-
And I'm not gonna believe it.
-
Go to one more place, go to Titus chapter two
-
because this is what I also get falsely accused of is,
-
well, you just don't even believe the Bible
-
because the Bible says that women
-
are supposed to literally teach other women.
-
And they'll point to Titus chapter number two
-
as this reference.
-
But I think a careful reading of this text
-
will explain what the Bible's really meaning here.
-
It says here in verse number three,
-
the aged women likewise that they be in behavior.
-
Notice that the initial aspect
-
of this particular commandment is not teaching its behavior.
-
It's saying, hey, older women need to be in good behavior.
-
As we come with holiness, not false accusers,
-
not giving them much wine, teachers of good things.
-
So they'll say, oh, look,
-
notice they are a teacher of good things.
-
Verse four, that they teach the young women to be sober,
-
to love their husbands, to love their children,
-
to be discreet, chase keepers at home,
-
good, obedient, thrown husbands
-
that the word of God be not blasphemed.
-
Now, this is why I reject this,
-
is because this idea that this is a formal instruction
-
is that none of these classes make sense.
-
I mean, I don't see how this is a formal instruction
-
of like, hey, let's have a class on how to be sober.
-
What does that look like?
-
Is she gonna get up?
-
Don't go to the bar.
-
All right, let's all go home.
-
I mean, like, what do you mean be sober?
-
There's not really a formal instruction on this.
-
You don't need to really learn anything.
-
She's like, stay away from drugs and alcohol, case.
-
But what do you think is more important?
-
A woman having a 30 minute lecture on this,
-
or a woman just never drinking and having drugs
-
and alcohol in her life?
-
Which one do you think is gonna teach more
-
to the younger women?
-
It's talking about their example.
-
Them being sober is gonna be the lesson,
-
not a 30 minute instruction,
-
or a 30 minute formal instruction.
-
I mean, it wouldn't even really matter.
-
People are gonna hear what they wanna hear anyways.
-
It's by example that's important.
-
I mean, think about just love your husband.
-
What does that class look like?
-
That's a weird, weird, love your children to be discreet.
-
Is that gonna be a really quiet classroom?
-
You know, it's an almost counterintuitive.
-
It's like you're teaching a class on discretion
-
by being a public figure
-
and having this formal instruction on being discreet.
-
It's like, you know how you be discreet?
-
You're just discreet.
-
And you're teaching the younger women to be discreet.
-
Whereas if the older women
-
are always blowing off their mouth,
-
are always going online.
-
And you know what I've noticed is the women,
-
like the pastor's wives,
-
that love to just have all their podcasts
-
and all their blog posts and all their videos
-
and all the things they're constantly doing,
-
that the women that follow them
-
are the most obnoxious online too.
-
Isn't that interesting?
-
It's almost like what they're teaching
-
is to not be discreet because they're not discreet.
-
So then they're following,
-
and sometimes their followers are in more excess
-
than their master.
-
Their master's over here,
-
commenting, you know, five posts a day,
-
and then their followers are 500 posts a day.
-
And then it's like the woman that's never online,
-
the ladies in her church are rarely online too.
-
Isn't that interesting?
-
No formal instruction on discretion,
-
and then all the women in this group are discreet.
-
Formal instruction and none of them are discreet.
-
I feel like I'm seeing a pattern.
-
I feel like I'm noticing how this Bible
-
is actually interpreting the text here for us.
-
Chased, keepers at home.
-
You know, again, there's a lot of women
-
that it's just always a picture
-
or a video of them not at home.
-
Just like, here's me at this restaurant,
-
here's me at this place,
-
and here's me out doing this activity.
-
Here's me doing this whatever.
-
And then it's like, but the Bible is saying
-
there's supposed to be teachers being at home.
-
Keepers at home, keeping the home,
-
doing a good job at home.
-
And look, if there's a lady out there
-
that made a video about something
-
that's an educational purpose,
-
God bless her.
-
I'm not, I'm just trying to tear down women.
-
I'm not trying to say women can't be smart.
-
I'm not saying that every video
-
or every social media post is bad.
-
What I am saying is that I do not believe
-
the Bible is giving a commandment
-
for women to be going online and teaching other ladies.
-
I don't think that's what it's saying at all.
-
I think they're saying, hey, by your behavior
-
you should be teaching other ladies.
-
You should have a good behavior
-
and we want the older ladies to be in behavior
-
so the younger ladies will be in behavior.
-
They can set that good example.
-
Good, obedient to their own husbands
-
that the word of God be not the blaspheme.
-
Not going online and embarrassing your husband constantly.
-
Making your husband look bad,
-
speaking for your husband.
-
And again, just from a statistical perspective,
-
in America today, 61% of women are pro-choice
-
whereas only 41% of men.
-
That's a 20 point gap.
-
Abortion is morally acceptable to 50% of women,
-
only 40% of men.
-
When it comes to Democrats,
-
women are over 10 points more likely to vote Democrat.
-
When it comes to black women,
-
they voted 91% for Kamala Harris.
-
I mean, this is a problem.
-
And again, oh, well there's some women out there
-
that would vote well.
-
I believe it.
-
But you know what, by and large,
-
they're more susceptible to these issues
-
and they need to just submit to their husband.
-
What do we need as a society?
-
We need more women to submit to their husband
-
and just obey their husband.
-
And you know what, as a general principle,
-
we should not just believe all women
-
because they're very rare.
-
The woman that's being permissive and promiscuous
-
don't believe her, men.
-
The woman that is this woman, pastor,
-
or online influencer don't believe her.
-
And unfortunately, a lot of women
-
are more susceptible to lies
-
and being, you know, globally led astray.
-
And so, you know what?
-
Put all of your trust in your husband
-
and in the word of God, okay?
-
Put the trust in this, not in Candace Owens.
-
Not in some pastor's wife.
-
Is the pastor insufficient enough to teach you the Bible
-
that you have to have the wife tell you?
-
Well, my husband would never speak on women's issues.
-
Well, you know what?
-
I will speak on women's issues.
-
I don't need my wife to speak on the women's issues.
-
I can do it.
-
Well, you're not a woman.
-
Good, I don't want to be.
-
You know why I'm gonna speak on women's issues?
-
Because God wants me to speak on it and not a woman.
-
So I actually believe the Bible.
-
Okay, it didn't say, oh, let's get the women
-
to speak on women's issues
-
because only women can understand it.
-
No, the Bible says, hey, if they will learn anything,
-
let them ask their husbands at home is what the Bible says.
-
That's what the Bible clearly teaches.
-
And you know what?
-
We need men that are not afraid of women
-
and will say, hey, I will speak on women's issues.
-
Hey, I will say we should repeal the 19th Amendment.
-
Hey, I hope that we turn back feminism,
-
not just 50 years or 100 years, 200 years.
-
I like zero waves of feminism.
-
I've heard Baptist pastors get up
-
and say the first and second wave had some good things.
-
No, I disagree with it.
-
I do not want to become Mexico.
-
Did you hear?
-
I don't want to become communist.
-
And you know what's necessary for communism?
-
It's feminism.
-
I mean, read the Communist Manifesto.
-
Read Karl Marx.
-
Read all of these Jewish figures.
-
And they say, in order to get there,
-
we have to first start with feminism.
-
We have to first get the women voting.
-
And we have to first get the women
-
having self-determination.
-
We have to first get, you know,
-
usurp the authority of the woman over the man,
-
which is a satanic agenda
-
to then usher in communism.
-
And look, at the end of communism,
-
women are not gonna be happy they got there.
-
Eve was not happy that she ate of the tree
-
of the knowledge of good and evil.
-
Women have a self-destructive habit here
-
of going in this direction,
-
and especially the silly women laid with sins,
-
they will drag the entire group down with them.
-
And you know what we need strong men to say no.
-
We need strong men to tell their wives no.
-
And we need strong men to call out these influencers
-
and these women pastors and say no.
-
And we need to stop them from having influence
-
in our country, stop being our governors
-
and politicians and running for president
-
and being cops and being police officers
-
and having positions of authority.
-
And look, if they kill their children,
-
put them to death immediately.
-
I mean, if you were in a trial
-
and the defense stands up and says she did it,
-
it would be like we are immediately moving to execution.
-
It's over.
-
Why waste any more taxpayer dollars?
-
And you know what?
-
We should probably go and interview all the women
-
outside, you know, championing or whatever.
-
Like, did you get an abortion and did you like it?
-
All right, you can line up after her.
-
He's vicious, disgusting, bloodthirsty women.
-
And let me tell you something.
-
Our society is getting weird
-
because the Bible warns that in the last days,
-
perilous times will come
-
because there'll be people without natural affection.
-
And it is crazy
-
that a woman would harm her child
-
because women by nature would harm themselves
-
in so many ways to protect their child,
-
would throw their lives into danger
-
to protect their children, is the natural reaction.
-
And to pretend like this is something that's happening,
-
that women are just contemplating murdering their children
-
as somehow a normal reaction or a normal hormone,
-
you're crazy.
-
And you're capitulating to rep-bates.
-
And why would I care about rep-bates anyways?
-
Put them to death.
-
Let's close in prayer.
-
Thank you Heavenly Father so much for your word.
-
Thank you so much for this biblical order.
-
I pray that people wouldn't be offended by your design
-
that men would realize their role
-
and they would step up into a leadership position.
-
I pray that you'd help guard the minds
-
and the hearts of young men to not be trapped
-
by seductive, evil, flatterous, adulterous women.
-
I pray that you would just help the women
-
and this church to have great faith
-
and to trust in their husbands,
-
to love their husbands, to do good under their husbands.
-
I pray that you would help men to have a desire
-
to protect their wives and to vet the information
-
coming in and out of their household
-
and protect them from lies and from the serpent.
-
And I pray that you would allow our church
-
to be a good example of the biblical roles
-
of male and female and of a husband ruling over his wife
-
and wife submitting their husband.
-
In Jesus' name we pray.
-
Amen.
