Another gospel

The feminist movement has correctly diagnosed a dysfunctional society, but it has no answer to the problem except the passing of laws to prevent the above. So what is missing?

The major missing link is: original sin, which is the root cause of that dysfunction.

There are now two wills in this world: God’s good and gracious will, and the evil counsel and will of the devil, the world and our sinful self opposing God and fighting Him.

Little mention is being made of the consequences of original sin: slavery to sin; dead in trespasses and sins; blind (Amazing Grace: I once was blind but now I see); deaf; hating God; a candidate for eternity in hell.

No mention is made of the dreadful hopelessness of human nature which is like a dog chasing its tail with no hope of success in removing inequalities; battle of the sexes; lack of rights etc in the world.

No mention (or very little) of the Gospel promised almost immediately after the judgement pronounced on Adam and Eve.

Little mention of the plan that God had in establishing marriage and assigning roles to each husband and wife prior to the fall and re-establishing that after the fall.

No mention is made of God’s marriage to Israel at Mt. Sinai by rescuing her from slavery, providing for her in the wilderness and by giving the promised land (Jeremiah 31 v 32-32; Ezek 16). See the Gospel in there?

No real mention is made of the ultimate in Eph 5 v 21-33 in the comparison between Jesus as head and the husband as head; between the Church’s submission to Christ and a wife submitting to her husband. Note also the Gospel again.

Instead, the demand for equality and rights of women via women’s ordination actually declares they have no equality. This is a denial of the full equality each man, woman and child baptised, reborn, gifted with faith has received and the right to be called children of God, joint heirs with Christ. This simply becomes “another gospel”.

Demanding that what is of the world with all its so-called ”equality, rights, removal of discrimination, same sex marriages, and laws passed by governments have no bearing on what God has given and continues to give via the Gospel and the ‘all authority’ of Jesus. Another gospel!

Failure to recognise these two wills and their mutual exclusion simply becomes “another gospel”. That puts Jesus in a bind! How can he say that He came into the world to conquer the devil and to overcome the world if we are now to adopt what is of the world? That is a contradiction.
