The Complementarian Controversy - De-offense-ifying 1 Timothy 2:9-15
August 26, 2019
If you were taking the Bible seriously, how would you make 1 Timothy 2:9-15 non-offensive at your local semi-liberal Christian college? Should you just go ahead and throw the whole Bible out, and start over on creating a more acceptable type of religion? We take a look at the controversy surrounding complementarianism, the accusations of misogyny. . .and find the controversy itself is indicative of a whole wrong way of looking at. . . well. . . everything.

There are the good presidents and the bad presidents in history — but it can be difficult to identify the best presidents. That’s because there are those who say they are Christians but have bad policies, and there are those who don’t profess to be Christians with good policies. Shall we prefer a profession of faith or fruit. . . or both?

The high-profile sex-criminal Jeffrey Epstein seemed a little upset that “criminalizing sex with teenage girls was a cultural aberration.” Indeed, the pagan world in Mesopotamia, Egypt, India, and the Muslim world was saturated in slavery, sexual coercion, and pre-marital fornication. It was a nightmarish world. There is no other word for it. But, when Christ came, He turned on the lights and transformed the way the world looks at marriage and sexual purity. We trace the laws of consent to directly after the Magna Carta and King John’s coercion of the daughters of the lords. It was the Christian world that changed everything - no thanks to the Muslims, the Hindus, the Buddhists, and everybody else.

If the BBC and the Discovery Channel believed in God, how would this change their view of the world and their productions on the wonders of nature? What is the explanation for the ugliness, the cuteness, the wisdom, the intricacies, the variety, the power, and the beauty of the animal world? Why are their poisonous snakes, predators, and parasites in the world around us? Here is a discussion on how we might restore a sense of wonder and purpose, and an eschatological hope into our study of nature all around us.

Fifty years ago, 400,000 young teens and twenty-somethings descended on Max Yasgur’s dairy farm in upstate New York. The gathering signaled a revolution, but not with guns and Molotov cocktails. It was far worse. The devastation is all around us. “Woodstock won.” We contrast the Browns and Johnny Horton of 1959 with Joe McDonald and the F word of 1969. The fallout is still happening.

The abandonment of faith or the concession of shaky faith on the part of Marty Sampson, the Hillsong songwriter leads to a discussion on romanticism and religion. The equation of authenticity to the intensity of emotional outpouring is a fatal mistake committed too often by the new generation. There is the false impression — The most emotionally expressive person is the most pious, holy, genuine, and committed person. That is the worldview of Romanticism. . .and it has infiltrated a great deal of modern religion in the western world. How would you gage authenticity of faith, if you were to leave music to the side?

Beth Moore is backing off calling homosexual sin as sin. We react strongly against a namby-pamby, softy-wofty Christian message — that soft-pedals the law and soft-pedals grace and Christ’s violent work on the cross, destroying sin and death. Why is there such an antipathy towards strong words, certainty, faith, and conviction on the part of the Christian snowflakes?

It was the most publicized martyrdom of the 2000s. Three Christian men were most viciously tortured and killed in Malatya Turkey on April 18, 2007. Today, we interview the widow of martyr, Necati Aydin, and we tell this story that really needs to be told, again and again. How does one recover from this? How can one rejoice and be exceedingly glad after such horrific experiences as this? Shamse Aydin’s testimony is among the most inspiring of our times.

The Jeffrey Epstein conspiracy theory promises to rattle around for a long time, following his reported “suicide” in a NYC prison. His association with two presidents, one prime minister, and a British prince further extenuates the suspicions of perfidy at the highest levels. We offer a biblical view of conspiracy theories, and how Christians must insist on truth and only speak truth in these matters. We react to facts and require a biblical interpretation of those facts.

Apparently, the Boy Scouts are next in line for the scandalous behavior that has surfaced in the Roman Catholic Church and hundreds of other institutions and organizations in America. But, whence comes this scourge? We attempt to explain the worldview shift and the apostasy that underlies the modern, abusive, destructive, horrible, evil plague that fell upon children and society in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. We trace the roots of the sexual autonomy and self-oriented abusive mindset to the Warren Court decision of 1957, when the men in black redefined obscenity to allow for just about everything.

China is removing mentions of God and Christ from children’s classics like ‘Robinson Crusoe’. How is this different from American government-funded schools? The worldview war around the whole world is centered on the children, and the curriculum used for their education? Whether it is communist China or American private and public schools — there is a tug-a-war going on over the hearts and the minds of our children. Who will win?
