Korach 5768 – Feminism in the Gears

Sunday, June 22nd, 2008

Numbers 16:5
…even him whom he hath chosen…
God constructed the world to function in a certain manner. Like any complex machine, Creation’s functionality degrades as its components cease to function according to design. The extent of the disfunction can be difficult to measure. For example, an automobile without brakes might travel along an uncrowded highway without incident. The driver only realizes his trouble when it becomes necessary to slow or stop. So it is with family structure, church organization, and civil government. As Western nations become more and more feminized, they are beginning to come apart at the seams. As backwards as the Muslim nations appear, they have a very distinct advantage in that feminism has not taken a significant hold within their borders or cultures. As these two civilizations clash, the conclusion appears to be foregone. The superior technology and wealth of Europe and North America enable them to win many battles as their borders are flooded with Muslim and other immigrants who have no interest in adapting themselves to the existing cultures. Instead they bring their own culture with them and destroy Western Civilization by forfeiture. Our politicians say that we are fighting them over there so we don’t have to fight them over here. Anyone with eyes to see can tell that they have no need to fight us anywhere. Until we excise the cancer of feminism from within our own people, we are committing cultural suicide.

The military adventures of the Bush-Clinton cabal are the death throws of a very broken machine, and the Muslims need only bide their time to win.

Fruitiness Verbotten

Did you know that trees can be male and female? And that male trees don’t grow fruit?

The lesson to be learned is that men are not supposed to be fruity. ;-)

Sh’lach 5768 – Men’s Work

Saturday, June 14th, 2008

Numbers 13:2

Send thou men… God commanded Moses to send only men into Canaan as spies. The absurdity of radical feminists who say that women can do anything men can do hardly needs refutation. God’s purpose in sending men and not women is obvious. Notice also that he once again referred to the divinely ordained patriarchal structure of Israel: “Of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man…”

God wanted chief men, who were probably beyond their physical prime. The mission was not to be a surprise attack, but rather a fact finding expedition, requiring wisdom and intelligence as much as strength and stealth. Perhaps more importantly, they were sent to lay claim to the land, and only men of authority could act in the name of the tribes. Notice that no man of Levi was included in the twelve. This is because Levi had no inheritance in the land, and so no Levitical leader was required to seal their claim.

New law prompts Calif. county to halt all weddings

(AP) Heterosexual couples are rushing to get married in a conservative California county that plans to halt all civil wedding ceremonies as gay marriage is set to be legalized.

Kern County Clerk Ann Barnett says Friday is the last day the county will perform civil weddings.

Starting Tuesday, when the California Supreme Court’s order legalizing same-sex marriage takes effect, Kern will issue new gender-neutral marriage licenses as required by law. But couples seeking to get hitched will have to go somewhere else for the ceremony.

Barnett says the increased demand for ceremonies would overwhelm her staff and pose office security risks. She made the announcement after learning she could not marry only couples of her choosing.

They’ve stopped performing marriage ceremonies. (Someone is bound to sue. People can’t be content to just live their own lives. They have to force everyone else to participate.) Now they need to stop issuing marriage licenses altogether. Then we’ll really be getting somewhere positive.

Creation-Evolution Headlines

Tuesday, June 10th, 2008

Creation-Evolution Headlines is one of the coolest sites on the Web. David Coppedge must put an incredible amount of effort into this project. He reviews the science news for articles related to creation and evolution, summarizes them, analyzes them, and explains what it all means in language most of us can understand. I contributed a couple of articles a few years back, but didn’t have the time to keep it up. It’s hard work. Check it out.

Behaalotecha 5768 – The Light of Knowledge and Faith

Tuesday, June 10th, 2008

The furniture within the Tabernacle corresponds to the primary roles within a family. (To other things as well, but marriage and the family are my focus for now.) The Ark and the High Priest represent different patriarchal roles which can be inherited separately. For example, Judah inherited the kingship of Israel, while Levi inherited the priesthood. The Menorah represents the role of wife and mother. The Showbread Table represents the firstborn son, while the loaves on the table represent all the children.

Numbers 8:2
When thou lightest the lamps…
The Tabernacle priest’s duty is to light the seven lamps of the Menorah, as it is a husband’s duty to instruct and guide his wife.
…the seven lamps shall give light over against the candlestick. The individual lamps of the Menorah represent different aspects of the Holy Spirit’s role among God’s people and of a wife’s role in her family. “Over against the candlestick” refers to those things on the other side of the tabernacle. If you were to walk into the tent, you would see the Menorah on the left and the Showbread Table on the right. The Altar of Incense would be straight ahead and the Holy of Holies beyond that. The Menorah gave light to the whole interior, but especially to the Showbread Table and the loaves of bread, which, in the context of the family, represents the firstborn son and the other children, respectively. Part of a wife’s duty is to teach her young children and to exemplify God’s Spirit and her husband’s laws in his house.

Naso 5768 – If Who Goes Aside?

Sunday, June 1st, 2008

Numbers 5:12
If any man’s wife go aside…
God pointedly does not say, “If any woman’s husband go aside…” The same pattern is evident in all biblical discussions of marriage, sex, and adultery. Our modern Western concept of adultery is not the same as the ancient Hebrew concept.
