Anthony
Dream Johnson spews forth in his piece called Women Are Destroyers, [1] the kind of
garbage that only serves to cause needless division between men and women. The kind of misogynistic rhetoric that
Johnson writes in his piece is every bit as contemptible as the kind of
misandristic rhetoric spewed forth by the most extreme factions of the feminist
movement.
Both
misandrists and misogynists view their respective gender as being somehow
morally superior to the other and that those of the gender opposite of theirs are
somehow inherently evil and the irony of this is that they are both right in
the sense: Both men and women are inherently wicked for as it is written,
“there is none righteous, no, not one,” (Rom. 3:10) Both are inwardly defiled
(Mt. 15:11, 18-20) and both have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God
(Rom. 3:23) but both misandrists and misogynists, by their own
self-righteousness, are blind to their own moral failings and the moral
failings of their own respective gender.
Both
men and women lie, cheat, betray, steal, kill, and destroy.
Both can harbor hatred and grudges.
Both are selfish.
Both can lack compassion and empathy.
Both can abandon their own children.
Both rebel against authority they should be respecting and submitting to.
If
either gender was morally superior to the other, what would we expect to see?
We should expect to see the morally superior gender to hate less, love more and love better, be more forgiving, extend more grace, be more merciful, be more law-abiding, show themselves more faithful and trustworthy, be more morally upright altogether, less rebellious, and more at peace with their Creator.
If
women were morally superior to men, then I should expect to see more women in
Heaven than in Hell and more men in Hell than in Heaven. And if men were morally superior to women,
then I should expect to see more men in Heaven than in Hell, and more women in
Hell than men, but the broad path and the wide gate that leads to destruction
are taken by multitudes of both men and women and few of either choose the
straight and narrow that leads to everlasting life (Mt. 7:13-14)
If
the misogynist were made aware of his own moral failings and would admit that
men are just as guilty of the same things they accuse women of, he could no
longer be a misogynist because then he would have to admit that he is not
morally superior to the women he despises and therefore could no longer be a
misogynist.
If
the misandrist was made aware of her own moral failings and those of other
women and there are women that are as guilty of the same things they accuse men
of, she could no longer be a misandrist because then she would have to admit
that she is not morally superior to the men she despises and therefore could no
longer be a misandrist.
There
are some men out there who treat their wives and girlfriends better than some
women treat their own husbands and boyfriends and then there are women who
treat their boyfriends and husbands better than some men treat their wives and
girlfriends.
There
are fathers who love and treat their children better than some mothers do.
And there are mothers who love and treat their children better than some fathers do.
There
are male employers who treat their workers better than some female employers
and then there are female employers who treat their workers better than some
male employers.
There
are men in power who rule more justly than some women in power who do and then
there are women who rule more justly than some men in power do.
When
both genders admit that they are not morally flawless, that both have done and
are capable of doing evil and victimizing others and admit to committing acts
of injustice against each other, you will see an end to both misogyny and
misandry because it would shatter the moral superiority complex that both rest
on and the reason why both genders are inherently evil is because both genders
are cut from the same cloth; they both descend from one man and one woman into
whom that corruption first entered but before that corruption entered into them
they were created by God in a pure form and state, just as He created the
entire world and everything in it in a state of purity which is why after each
day of creation, God said it was good (Gen. 1), meaning there was nothing in
that creation that went against what He initially designed it to be. There was no death, no suffering, no evil, no
decay, no pain, no grief, and no sorrow of any sort. There was just a perfect peace and harmony
until the day that the first man Adam and his wife Eve whom God created
committed an astronomically fateful consequential act of disobedience when they
did something that God had forbidden them to do and that was the eating of a
fruit from a certain tree called the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,
having been warned of God that in the day that they ate thereof, they would
surely die (Gen. 2:16-17, 3:3) but instead of heeding the warning, they
disobeyed the prohibition and ate of that forbidden fruit and when that
happened, they became inwardly corrupted by what the Bible calls sin and when
sin entered into them, the sentence of death of which they had been warned was
pronounced upon them. (Gen. 3:19)
Men
and women were never created to be divided against each other but to be in
perfect unity and bound together in a perfect love for one another but in and
ironic twist, they also became united in listening to the voice of a lying
spirit rather than the voice of God.
They became united in their disobedience to God, united in the sin that
entered into them as a result of the eating of that forbidden fruit, and as a
consequence, both the man and the woman now share the sentence of death and the
lying spirit who led Adam and Eve into that fateful act of disobedience had
once been an angel named Lucifer who had served at the throne of God as a
covering cherub until the day that he had become so lifted up in pride that he
thought that he could become like God and as a consequence for attempting to
make himself equal with God, he and all who sided with him against God were
cast from their places in Heaven (Is. 14:11-21, Ezek. 28:12-19) and it was in
that day that Lucifer became known as Satan or the Devil and what he could not
accomplish in Heaven, he sought to accomplish on the earth which he did by
causing Adam and Eve to eat of that forbidden fruit which they were told by God
to not eat which then caused sin to enter into them both and which brought
death to them both but the consequences of that act of disobedience did not
stop with Adam and Eve, but were extended to the rest of mankind who are
descended from them for it is from Adam and Eve that the sin that entered into
them was inherited by all of mankind (Rom. 5:12) sin being defined not by just
an evil act or ill-spoken words but by the corrupted condition of our nature
which not only influences our outward behavior and what we speak, but it also
influences our thoughts, motives, and attitudes which then, if given into,
produce what is said and the acts that are done which is why it is written that
we are not defiled by what comes from without but what is from within (Mt.
15:11, 18-20) and which is why that we all sin and fall short of the glory of
God (Rom. 3:23) which in turn subjugates us to death which is why it is written
that the wages of sins is death (Rom. 6:23) but the consequences of Adam and
Eve’s disobedience still does not stop with even mankind, but extends to all of
creation and is why death, sin, suffering, pain, sorrow, grief, anguish, and
evil abound in this present world and throughout all of creation which is why
it is written that the entire creation groans and travails in pain to this day
(Rom. 8:19-22) but not only did the disobedience of Adam and Eve bring sin and
death to mankind and subjugate creation to the curse brought upon it due to the
entry of sin into the world, it also gave Satan justification to claim lordship
over the kingdoms and nations of the world (Mt. 4:8-9, Lk. 4:6-7) which is why
he is called the prince of this world (Jn. 12:31, 16:11) and he reigns through
the power of sin and death and he builds and retains his power upon lies and it
was by a lie that he led the first man and the first woman into that fateful
act of disobedience by which sin, death, evil, and every kind of grief,
suffering, and hardship came into world, and by that same lie he subjugated
mankind to sin and death and the entire creation to the death, decay, pain and
suffering that is witnessed and experienced in it today, and it was that very
same lie that made Satan the father of lies and which also made him a murderer
(Jn. 8:44) and not only is Satan a liar and a murderer, but he is also the
thief who comes to kill, steal, and destroy (Jn. 10:10)
By sin he murders and destroys and through deceit, he diminished the dominion mandate that was initially given to man (Gen. 1:26) and now has made himself lord and ruler over the entire world and continues to deceive multitudes with his lies, leading them to eternal destruction.
By a lie, he ruined that perfect unity that once existed between God and man and it was by that very lie that Satan had used to lead Adam and Eve into that fateful act of disobedience which brought sin, death, and all kinds of pain and suffering into the world that he had sown disunity and division that continues to this day and the division and the disunity that we witness and experience in the world today did not begin between people and it did not begin between men and women, but it began between man and God because the sin that entered into mankind caused a separation and an estrangement between man and his Maker and then afterwards that division and discord which began between God and man eventually became extended to the household between two brothers which resulted in one killing the other (Gen. 4) and this same division and discord that extended to the children has now not only put siblings at odds with one another but it has also put children at odds with their parents, has set neighbor against neighbor, nation against nation, kingdom against kingdom, and has set those who should be enjoying a perfect and uninterrupted unity and fellowship with one another against each other and this same spirit that is responsible for racial division, class warfare, wars between different nations, kingdoms, and factions, political divisions, generational discord, is also responsible for the gender gap crisis as well.
What God intended to be united in a bond of a lasting matrimonial deep and intimate love is now divided by pride, conceit, selfishness, vanity, and self-righteousness, bitterness, envy, and hatred and it ought not exist anymore than any other form of division.
God
offers to all of us restoration and reconciliation because He is not willing
that any should perish but that all would come to repentance (2 Pet. 3:9) and
the restoration and reconciliation that He offers is first a reconciliation of
man to Himself and then afterwards a restoration of unity between people and
the restoration of that unity that he created to exist and to last between the
man and the woman and one that is founded only in a pure and genuine
self-sacrificing love for each other which begins in Christ Jesus our Lord and
Savior whom God sent into the world to offer Himself up on our behalf for our
sins and to take away the sins of the world which He did by His death on the
cross upon which He was crucified whose sinless blood purchased redemption on
behalf of sinful man and after having purchased in His death our redemption,
was raised again from the dead so that we, if we will but place our faith in
Him for the forgiveness of our sin and for the salvation of our souls, will be
made justified in Him in the sight of God the Father. (Rom. 4:25)
And it is the redemption of our souls that we receive in us an inward transformation (2 Cor. 5:17) that causes us to no longer desire to follow after selfish and worldly pursuits but after those things that pertain to the Kingdom of Heaven,
to no longer take pleasure in those things that are evil and displeasing in the sight of the Lord, but in that which is good, right, and pleasing in His sight,
to no longer desire to walk in the lies of this present world, but only in the truth that comes from Christ Almighty who is the source of all truth, (Jn. 14:6)
no longer placing our hopes in the things of this present world, but looking forward to that new and better world to come, (Rev. 21-22)
to no longer rely on worldly resources, men, or even our own power, abilities, skills, and wisdom for our needs and provision but upon God who is able to meet all of our needs, recognizing that the resources of this world and even the people He brings into our lives are but instruments and vessels through which God meets our needs and that the skills, power, knowledge, and wisdom by which we might acquire our provision are provided and instilled in us by God, (Mt. 6:25-33)
to no longer fear what men can do to us, but rather fearing the God before whom we will have to one day give an account for how we lived our lives, (Mt. 10:28)
to no longer look to corruptible institutions within our society for direction and order in our lives but to God who, by His written Word has given us laws and precepts to be applied to our lives and which serve to produce and maintain an ordered life, and who, by His Holy Spirit which comes to dwell within us upon repentance, establishes in our lives a course and direction in our lives to pursue for His glory,
to no longer seek our own glory but the glory of God,
to no longer rally behind corruptible men, but instead behind the incorruptible God in Heaven bearing in mind that those men and women God raises up for our edification are but instruments and servants of His for that respective purpose to which He has called them,
to no longer seek to align ourselves with the things of darkness but only with the things of the light,
to no longer trust in the wisdom of the world but only on the wisdom and knowledge that comes from above, (Jas. 1:5) nor depend on corruptible earthly authorities to swiftly administer justice, but only in the power of God to deliver us from evil.
Men and women have a choice to make: Unity, reconciliation, and restoration under Christ Jesus or a rejection of the grace and redemption He offers to both which will result in a continual division by sin against each other and not only that, an eternity of an unrelenting torment in the darkness and fires of Hell where there is no love, no mercy, and no reconciliation.
But if any of you out there who have yet to call upon the name of the Lord Jesus for the forgiveness of sins desire restoration, reconciliation, and an end to needless conflict and division in your life, then I urge you today to call upon His name for the forgiveness of sins and in sincere repentance because reconciliation and restoration begins with our Creator. It is just a simple sincere prayer of repentance away:
"Lord Jesus I need you.
I realize that I am a sinner
who has fallen short of the glory of God
and that my goodness falls short
of your standard of Moral perfection.
Please forgive me of all of my sins.
Come into my heart and into my life
to be the Savior and Lord of my life.
Make me into the servant and follower
that you want me to be.
In your name Lord Jesus, I pray.
Amen."
Know that God is not concerned with the words that you use to call upon Him forgiveness, but with the attitude of your heart and if you have, with all sincerity, have asked Christ to forgive you of your sins, placing your trust in Him only for your salvation and in nothing else, then your sins are forgiven and your place in Heaven is certain.
