To who should we submit?

My son has just refused to wear a white ribbon. He is annoyed that others tell him what to think. I said that I refuse to wear a white ribbon until they stop blaming men for all violence and start acknowledging the violence of women.

The entire site is misandrist. It is part of the current ideology — which worships  women and the feminine.  But to oppose this is to be isolated… to be shunned. You have to wear the ribbon.

Like my son, I will not submit to them. My submission belongs elsewhere.

Psalm 123

1 To you I lift up my eyes, O you who are enthroned in the heavens!2 As the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the LORD our God, until he has mercy upon us.3 Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us, for we have had more than enough of contempt.4 Our soul has had more than its fill of the scorn of those who are at ease, of the contempt of the proud.

Revelation 18:9-20

9And the kings of the earth, who committed fornication and lived in luxury with her, will weep and wail over her when they see the smoke of her burning; 10they will stand far off, in fear of her torment, and say, “Alas, alas, the great city, Babylon, the mighty city! For in one hour your judgment has come.”

11And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn for her, since no one buys their cargo anymore, 12cargo of gold, silver, jewels and pearls, fine linen, purple, silk and scarlet, all kinds of scented wood, all articles of ivory, all articles of costly wood, bronze, iron, and marble, 13cinnamon, spice, incense, myrrh, frankincense, wine, olive oil, choice flour and wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, slaves — human lives.

I’m reflecting on what Grerp and Alte have both said… that feminism requires prosperity. In hard times, it takes two adults, working to exhaustion, to support a family. At present, we have enough money to support in some comfort the weak, the sick and the lazy. And solo mothers. Many women have divorced their husband or left their lover and now are wage slaves of the state.

Babylon is also a place of luxury. It trades everything from spices and wine to the souls of people.  But we cannot submit to this. We cannot submit to the spirit of this age.

As men, we should submit to God, in humility. In Christ, we submit to each other. We have duties to our wives… to love them, to not oppress them. to be faithtul to them. . wifes have duties to their husbands. parents to their children, children to their parents… but our core obedience goes to God.

And that will get us into trouble. For the feminists want our mind, not our bodies, and that is a deeper form of slavery.
