And Ben, I wanna start with my sermon title this morning
is Don't Believe All Women.
Don't Believe All Women.
Now point one of the sermon is based on verse 10.
The Bible says who can find a virtuous woman?
Plainly the text is indicating that virtuous women are rare
and that is not a common occurrence
and yet there is a societal pressure to act as if
all women are somehow virtuous
and all women are good and kind-hearted
and should be believed.
There was a campaign several years ago
or a few years ago really, not that long
that was hashtag believe all women.
In fact, there were several people in our government,
representative Carolyn Maloney that said, quote,
we stand with Dr. Christine Blazy Ford, Deborah Amirez
and Julie Swetnick, hashtag believe all women.
Republican Catherine Clark is funny, you know,
or representative, sorry, she's a Democrat.
Representative Catherine Clark, Democrat from Massachusetts
said, quote, democracy in action, hashtag we believe
Christine, hashtag believe all women.
Another Senator, Democrat from Hawaii, Mazzie Hirano
said during the hearing she said, quote,
men need to just shut up and step up.
Senator Kamala Harris said, quote,
I believe you and I believe many Americans
across this country believe you.
Now, what's funny is that this has became
kind of a national mantra for a lot of different people
of this quote, just believe all women
and that we should just trust all women
and that women are good and by and large,
whereas this is directly contrasted
with the biblical narrative and the biblical text
saying that virtuous women are rare.
Not that they're the norm, not that virtuous women
are what we see as the common experience,
but rather virtuous women are not common,
are not normal, are very hard to find.
I mean, the text is just saying like,
who can we even find it?
Like, where can we even find this example?
And then you have all of these people in our politics
and our government just saying hashtag believe all women,
which is nonsense and of course, you know,
these people love to have their cake, you need it too,
because whenever Amber Hurd and Johnny Depp
went in this public hearing,
then comedians like Chris Rock were saying,
hashtag believe all women except Amber Hurd.
And so it's like, you know,
it's always just a fit whatever narrative they have
at the time, but it's a really silly idea
to try to act as if women are more believable than men.
You know, I mean, and again,
I'm not gonna sit here and say men
are more trustworthy than women.
I think that the Bible teaches that we should just have,
you know, really kind of a skeptical view of humanity
in general, and that specifically when it comes to women,
the Bible does not teach that they're just more virtuous
or better than men.
The Bible does not teach that whatsoever.
And so to then suggest hashtag believe all women,
what is the implication?
It's like women are more reliable
in their testimony than men.
This is not true.
And the Bible does not support such an idea
and we should not be prejudice against men for women.
That is not a biblical narrative.
It's not what the Bible teaches.
Go to Ecclesiastes chapter seven,
Ecclesiastes chapter seven.
Now I'm not trying to create attention
to say the opposite.
I'm not trying to say women can never be trusted
and men should be trusted.
We should be skeptical of both,
but we should have a healthy level
of skepticism in this world.
And what I find is, you know,
the Bible says the simple believe with every word
we need to have a healthy skepticism in life
and not be trusting by and large.
We should be skeptical of this world
because this world is wicked.
This world is very sinful.
Our culture is very sinful and very wicked.
And so we need to make sure that we're careful
in who we're trusting, careful in who we're listening to.
And the Bible has a lot of warnings
about certain kinds of women.
Of course, there are virtuous women in this world.
I'm not saying that the virtuous women don't exist,
but in the biblical text of Proverbs 31,
the Bible says that her husband does safely trust in her.
Isn't it interesting?
She's married and she's married.
And specifically, according to the text,
she's in submission to her husband.
And really that is the biblical models
that women should just submit to their husband
and we should have men leading women in general.
And, you know, why should we not just believe all women?
Well, number one, because it's just super rare.
And here's another biblical text to prove,
you know, some of these points.
Look at verse number 26,
and I find more bitter than death, the woman.
Now, this is where some men, or women hating men
will stop the verse, okay?
It's not saying all women are bad, all right?
It kind of sounds like it though,
but it's not saying that.
It says whose heart is snares and nets
and her hands is bands who please of God
shall escape from her,
but the sinner shall be taken by her.
I believe in context and comparing with other proverbial texts,
this is talking about a woman that's laden with sins
in a bedroom sense or in a fornication sense.
So a woman that's permissive,
a woman that's very loose is this type of woman
that the Bible really warns about
and how she's a snare and how she's a trap
and she will not actually give you her heart
even though she may flatter you
and pretend like she wants to give you her heart.
And the Bible is saying that the person
that pleases God is gonna escape her.
You know, how does that work?
I don't think that this is really trying to say that,
you know, you're just gonna magically
not find the wrong woman.
I think it's by studying the Bible as a young man
and paying attention to the signs
of a permissive woman versus a godly woman,
you can avoid this type of woman.
Through going through biblical directives,
biblical principles, that's how you escape it.
I don't think that it's just,
you know, you're gonna go for this woman
and God's gonna intervene magically.
I think it's the Bible saying you follow biblical principles,
you'll avoid this type of woman.
You don't follow biblical principles.
You'll end up getting taken away with the flattery,
with the deceit, with just this bad stuff.
And notice that the Bible almost is indicating
that bad men, bad men are punished with a bad woman.
I mean, isn't that what the Bible's saying here?
It says, who so pleaseth God, shall escape from her,
but the sinner shall be taken by her.
It's almost saying like a bad guy will end up having
this just like horrific wife potentially
or a girlfriend or toxic relationship
because he's a bad person.
You know, it's like we can sit here
and feel bad for quote Johnny Depp,
but it's like was Johnny Depp looking for the right woman
with Amber Heard?
You know, it's like, oh, we can feel bad for Elon Musk,
but is he really looking for the right woman
when he gets entrapped with this like Jewish woman
who ensnares him and gets pregnant by him
and is like trying to sue him for all this money
and just like some kind of an influencer?
It's like, obviously he was finding the wrong women
in the wrong place.
And the Bible is saying like God's gonna punish people
when they're looking for the wrong woman
in the wrong place because it's rare
to find the good woman, okay?
And again, this is a bad person to be caught by.
It says in verse 27,
behold this have I found say the preacher
counting one by one to find out the account
which yet my soul seeketh but I find not
one man among a thousand have I found
but a woman among all those have I not found.
Lo, this only have I found that God has made me an upright
but they have sought out many inventions.
So let's unpack this passage for a moment
because this is a very important package here.
Number one in verse 29, God is saying
that he did not make men bad or women bad or anybody bad.
God made man upright.
So you can't say like, oh, well God just made women bad.
False.
God made women upright.
God made man upright.
God made everybody to be good and to do right
and we all have the capability
and the opportunity to do right
but because of sinful natures that we have,
we end up choosing selfish things and sinful things.
That's what it's saying.
They sought out many inventions.
We're going after evil.
We're coming up with bad ideas.
You know, we can't blame all the evils of this world on God
because God made man upright
but man ended up coming up with bad ideas
and venting all kinds of evils and doing wrong.
So God gives us all the opportunity to do right.
We of our own selfish ambition and nature
have sought out wicked devices
but we also want to at least consider
what the guy is saying here.
He's saying he like, did this audit?
Did this like human audit?
He's like an anthropologist studying humanity
and trying to understand the gender
and trying to understand men and women
and he's like, I decided to get my Excel spreadsheet out
and I'm listing names
and I'm putting in data and stats
and I'm charting
because I mean, think what he's saying.
He's like, I was counting one by one
to find out the account.
This is an accountant.
So he's like, here's a name and here's a name
and here's this person.
I'm counting them one by one.
So that's diligent.
And he's like, I couldn't find a virtuous woman.
Is what he's saying out of a thousand.
So it's like, all right, here's the list
of every single person in our district, our area,
our kingdom or whatever.
And he's just like, he's just got thousands,
imagine he just has thousands of names,
just thousands and thousands of names of people.
And he's just like, all right, we have,
and again, just for sake of argument,
we'll throw some numbers.
He's like, I have 100,000 men
and he's like, here's the guys that I think are virtuous.
And he's like, it's about a thousand to one ratio.
Like he's like, he plugged it in
and he put it in the calculator
and it's like 0.1% of the men.
And he's like, on the women category, it was less.
And it's not saying that it doesn't exist.
He's just saying even one out of a thousand.
Now again, I'm not saying that this is reflective of today.
I don't even know.
But he is putting an actual number to it.
He is saying statistically,
he can't even find one out of a thousand women
that are virtuous.
Is what he's saying, that would be an upright woman
that's seeking the Lord.
And again, he then, what would be the accusation?
Think about it.
If you said, I've studied, I've done the measurements,
I've calculated, I did a huge sample
and statistically, not even one out of a thousand women
is a virtuous woman, then what would be the implication?
Well, God, why did you make women so bad?
But then he clarifies and says, no, no, no, no, no.
God made them upright.
God gave them the opportunity to do right.
God didn't do anything wrong here.
They sought out many inventions.
God made them perfect in the garden.
God made them male and female.
And he said everything he created was very good.
Yet the woman was deceived.
The woman went after the advice of the serpent.
She took of that forbidden fruit.
She did that of her own volition, of her own accord.
And so, what is the Bible painting this picture though?
Why would I say hashtag believe all women
when one out of a thousand isn't even virtuous?
I mean, you can't even find one out of a thousand
statistically.
And again, these numbers don't necessarily
seem to be that off from what we even see in the world today.
And sorry to wake you up to reality,
but that is what the biblical text is saying.
And we see even similar parallels in our society today.
And so, we should be very careful
when we have these ideas of just quote,
believe all people, when the Bible's saying,
man, it's statistically a train wreck.
Now I wanna go to Ephesians chapter five,
go to Ephesians chapter number five.
So then, if women are, by and large, not that virtuous
and having this particular statement
being made about them, what should women do then?
I mean, this is gonna affect most people.
It's like, you know what they should do?
They should get married and submit to their husband.
That's what they should do.
Ephesians chapter five, look at verse number 22,
Wives, submitting yourselves unto your own husbands
as unto the Lord, for the husband is the head of the wife,
even as Christ is the head of the church
and he's the savior of the body.
Therefore, as the church is subject unto Christ,
so let the wise be to their own husbands in everything.
You know, the Bible says from a biblical default,
women are just to submit and do whatever their husband says,
not believe all women, what it should be,
women should submit to their husband.
That's the biblical model.
That's how we should actually view society.
Look at verse Timothy chapter two
and we'll probably come back to this
for a different point as well,
but there's no harm in repeating myself this morning.
For you it is safe, all right?
We don't wanna turn into Mexico.
Did you hear the testimony about Mexico?
Man.
First Timothy chapter two, look at verse 11,
let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
But I suffer not a woman to teach,
nor you serve authority over the man,
but to be in silence.
For Adam was first formed, then Eve,
and Adam was not deceived,
but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
The Bible is saying the woman transgressed through deception.
She was deceived and she transgressed.
And so what is the point though,
what is the bigger point that's being made?
Number one in verse 11, a subjection,
re-emphasize in verse number 12
that she's not to use serp authority.
That's what subjection means.
And then the Bible says why?
Why is it that a woman would not be in charge?
Why is it that a woman should not use serp authority?
Why is it that the biblical order
is that a man and then a woman?
And then it gives a specific reason.
Verse 13, because she was formed second
and then another reason is because
she was deceived and Adam was not, okay?
That's just what the Bible clearly says.
And again, of course, in this sermon,
I'm pointing out that number one,
the Bible teaches that it's rare
to find a virtuous woman.
It's rare to find this woman
and so therefore women should submit to their husbands.
That is what the Bible teaches.
Go back to Proverbs, Proverbs chapter five.
And we need to make sure that we understand
that God is giving us instructions
that permeate all timelines.
This isn't like, oh, this used to be a problem back then
or culturally, we have to understand this.
No, culturally, men and women have been the same.
And he's talking to young Timothy,
think about the timeline here.
He's talking to young Timothy in a first century context
and he's bringing up Adam and Eve.
That's pretty far removed.
That's a pretty different civilization.
And he's saying, hey, because of what happened
in the garden, this is how y'all
are supposed to behave yourself now.
Then why would I think that whatever the Bible's teaching
in the first century wouldn't apply now?
I mean, there's gotta be, there's probably more parallel
to our society in first century
than the first century in the garden, okay?
The garden doesn't have civilization and towns
and all this other stuff.
It's just a dude and his wife in the garden, okay?
Like that's a pretty different culture.
That's a pretty different environment, okay?
But then he's saying, just like it was then,
you need to do it now.
So then I would also agree that first century applies to today.
Why there's no new thing under the sun?
Everything's the same.
And it's the same circumstances, same life situations.
That's why jokes can be funny to a broad audience
about marriage because we all go through the same stuff.
People that make marriage jokes, everybody's laughing
because we all kind of go through the same things,
the same cycles, the same events.
There's no new thing under the sun.
It's not like, oh, well, you know,
my wife is different than otherwise.
Not really.
By and large, they all kind of have
the same shared experiences, the same things.
You're gonna experience relatively similar events.
Now, my second point of why we wouldn't want
to believe all women, and this is really kind of
aimed towards young men, is that the Bible warns
that there are certain women that are very permissive
and they don't take virginity seriously.
And these are very dangerous women in the Bible, okay?
And it's not only that you get entrapped in fornication
and the consequences of fornication,
it's that when they're loose in this area
of their morals, they're loose in all morals.
The same woman that'll commit this kind of a sin
is the same kind of woman that'll lie and steal
and commit murder and just all kinds of horrific traps
that also are conjoined in this particular area.
So that's why you wanna stay far away
from this kind of woman.
Look at Proverbs chapter five, verse three,
for the lips of a strange woman drop as in honeycomb
and her mouth is smoother than oil,
but her end is bitter as warmwood.
Sharp as a two-edged sword, her feet go down to death,
her steps take hold on hell.
So according to the Bible, there's a danger
associated with a permissive woman or a promiscuous woman.
Look at chapter seven, verse 21.
With her much fair speech, she caused him to yield.
With the flattering of her lips, she forced him.
He goes after her straightway as an ox goeth to the slaughter
or as a fool to the correction of the stocks
till a dart strike through his liver
as a bird hasteth to the snare and knoweth not
that it is for his life.
Now notice again, the Bible's painting this picture
of like you go and lie with this permissive,
promiscuous woman and you die.
Like there's death associated with this type of woman
and this is a reality.
This is why you wanna stay far away
from these type of women.
It says till a dart strike through his liver
and as a bird hasteth to the snare
and knoweth not that it is for his life.
Notice again, it's like, oh, bird thinks
that this little food in this cage is gonna be nice.
He eats the food.
It's not that the food's bad.
In fact, the food's probably great.
I mean, my dad has set up a lot of traps
and time passed, especially when he catch squirrels,
you know, not necessarily birds but squirrels
and he would take like acorns and stuff
and they love acorns and they like slather
and peanut butter and stuff.
And for whatever reason, squirrels love peanut butter
and I'll be honest with you,
it probably was the greatest acorn
that these squirrels have ever enjoyed.
Like because it was designed that way.
I mean, it's like, hey, this is smoother than oil.
Like this experience may be
the best experience you've ever had
and it might be the sweetest experience you've ever had
but here's the thing, it's fake.
It's not real.
Most acorns are never gonna be like that
because they don't fall out of the tree
with peanut butter on them
because the peanut butter was a trap.
This is why it's also dangerous
to commit a lot of fornication when you're young
is because a lot of that fornication is fake
and it's not real
and it's not even representative of what marriage
or a healthy relationship would be.
And so then people are chasing
peanut butter coated acorns the rest of their life
but they don't, they're not real.
They don't exist.
It's fake.
It's not a legitimate experience.
It's a hyped up, built up, fake experience
where she's just flattering you
and she's like, oh, you're just so amazing and so awesome.
Like you're around this woman
and she's like, you're just awesome
and so handsome and so amazing.
Like if you think going into marriage,
your wife's gonna talk to you like that every day,
you're lying to yourself.
Okay.
Now look, if you can, as a wife, sustain such a,
you can coat every acorn with peanut butter, go for it.
But let's just be honest, it's not real, okay?
And it's like men and women,
they get trapped thinking like this dating phase
where they had someone lying to them and deceiving them
and going through experiences
that are not genuine and sincere.
Like that's gonna be permeated.
It's like, why is Hollywood
getting divorced and remarried every few years
or constantly swapping women
because they're chasing this not real situation, okay?
And it's not that the experience
you'll think was a bad experience.
It was a peanut butter coated acorn that tasted so good
but the problem was it was a trap.
The trap and the trap is gonna kill you.
And of course for the man, it's like,
hey, oh, I like this experience
but it's gonna kill you, it's gonna harm you,
it's dangerous, you don't wanna go down that road.
And so as a young man, you know what you need to do?
Stay away from bars, stay away from casinos,
stay away from gentlemen's clubs,
stay away from the restaurants
that are advertising women and loose clothing
or in revealing clothing.
Just stay away from those places,
stay away from the woman that's looking like a whore
and dressing like a harlot.
You just don't go around these type of situations
because it's not that you won't be enticed
by the acorn, you will.
It's not that you wouldn't even enjoy it.
You probably would, that's the whole point.
I don't have to warn you about things
that you're not tempted with.
You know, it's like, you're not gonna be tempted
with something that you don't wanna do.
It's something you do want to do.
It's something that comes naturally.
It's something that is enticing, it's seducing.
That's the whole point.
Just like the tree that had the fruit on it
of the tree of knowledge of good and evil
that you're not supposed to eat,
I guarantee the fruit looked good.
I wouldn't even say, you know,
there's nothing in the biblical record
that says that when Adam ate eight of the tree,
that they were like, wow, that tasted gross.
There's nothing to say
that they didn't even enjoy the fruit that they ate.
And because of the fact that it's silent,
I would almost think it almost sounds
like it probably did taste good.
There's probably nothing about it
that necessarily was a bad experience,
but you know what the bad experience was?
The guilt, the shame, and the consequence
from eating such a fruit.
Okay, now maybe it was rotten.
I have no idea.
I can't prove that either way.
But what I would say is that the Bible teaches
that there's the pleasures of sin.
And so if the general principle is the pleasures of sin,
I would venture to believe that this fruit
probably even tasted good.
But you know what?
Just because it tastes good or feels good
doesn't make it right.
And that's what most people are using.
Oh, this fornication is so good
and I enjoyed it so much.
Why would God want to keep me away from this?
The same way that if a squirrel had a brain in its head
and actually understood things,
it wouldn't want to go into the trap
and eat the acorn with peanut butter
because it's gonna kill him.
Is the same way that God's trying to prevent you
from going into a trap and destroying yourself.
And it's not he's trying to withhold you from pleasure.
He's trying to withhold you from being destroyed.
He's trying to withhold you from flattery
and insincere motives and a bad heart
and something that's gonna cause a lot of emotional damage
from this particular woman.
Verse 24.
Harken unto me now therefore you children
and attend to the words of my mouth.
Let not thine heart decline to her ways.
Go not astray in her paths
for she hath cast down many wounded,
yet many strong men have been slain by her.
Her house is the way to hell
going down to the chambers of death.
Notice many strong men
and I don't think it's even just limited
to physical strength, mental strength, financial strength.
Just men of great power influence.
Probably the most clear example in the Bible
would be that of Samson.
And let's go and read a little bit about that story.
Go to Judges chapter 16.
So you know what?
Young men do not believe all women.
When a woman says to you, you're so handsome.
You're so strong.
It's like you can't even bench press the bar.
Don't believe her, okay?
It's like every woman in my entire life
has been turned off by me
and like runs in the other direction.
But this woman says that I'm Brad Pitt.
Be skeptical of that, okay?
Don't believe all women
because there's a lot of women
that will entice young men and lie to them
and flatter them and tell them things
that are insincere, okay?
And so men need to guard themselves against horrors,
against the flattery, against the deception
that's out there and say, you know what?
I want a woman that genuinely loves me
and cares about me and is realistic about that.
You know, if you're going on a date
and occasionally she makes some jokes at your expense,
it's probably better
than if she's just flattering you constantly.
And the Bible warns about the flattery,
it warns about these things.
You know, a woman that's saying, hey,
I'm saving myself for my husband,
it's much safer than saying,
oh, you know, I wanna be with you
because you're so amazing and you know, whatever.
Hey, a woman that will kiss you on the first date
will kiss any guy on the first date.
But here's what men wanna believe.
No, no, no.
She would only kiss me because I'm so awesome.
I'm so handsome.
Like, I know like all the other guys,
she's just like dweebs,
but he's just, he's a superstar.
You know, it's a lie.
It's a lie.
She's like, if she's so into you on the first date,
she would be into virtually any guy on the first date.
And it's hard for you to wanna admit that,
but sometimes we have to have a humble view of ourselves.
We have to have a lowly view of ourselves
and realize, hey, this woman,
while it sounds nice to believe
that a woman likes you so much, it's not real.
It's not genuine.
It's not sincere.
You know, praise God.
I mean, my mom always told me about,
like my mom was always harping on this.
I didn't believe it at all, okay.
Like, my mom's just constantly like,
John, there's gonna be these women
that are gonna act like they really like you
and they're fake and they're not sincere.
And I just kept thinking like,
where are all these women at?
You know, like, she's like, what is she talking about?
But it's real that there are permissive,
promiscuous women in this world
that will entrap young men
and they just have bad motives, bad ideas
and they just wanna corrupt people.
And, you know, of course,
if you struggle with conceit a little bit, you know,
you're probably more prone to this.
You know, if you're a guy
that is, you know, a little bit more handsome
or has some money or is good-looking or athletic,
you're probably just even more prone
to believing those kind of the statements.
And so, you know, you should be very careful
with being around this type of woman.
Don't just believe them.
Be careful.
Make sure this woman actually does really like you.
And there's plenty of ways to test these things,
like time, you know, not necessarily
just giving her lots of money or incentives.
You know, take her on cheap fund dates,
take her to church.
Like, if she's coming to church with you,
you know, and you're not even like
paying for these elaborate meals or something,
she probably likes you, you know?
If it's just like you're taking her five-star restaurants
and just, you know, buying her gifts and stuff like that,
you may not be able to discover what her real motives are.
You want to be careful, you know,
and identifying does this person really love you?
Do they really care about you?
And of course, Samson is kind of the poster child
for a guy who doesn't really think with his heart, okay?
Now, judges chapter 16, look at verse four.
And it came to pass afterward that he loved a woman
in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.
And the Lord of the Philistines came up under her
and said in her, entice him and see,
wearing his great streak lyeth.
And by what means, we may prevail against him,
that we may bind him to afflict him
and we will give the every one of us 1100 pieces of silver.
Now, this was kind of sad about the story.
I believe that when the Bible says
that Samson loved Delilah, that it's sincere.
Like, I think that Samson would have probably been
with Delilah for the rest of his life,
like if she reciprocated and she wanted to be with him.
So I don't think that he necessarily dislikes her,
I think he really genuinely likes her, he loves her.
In fact, he loves her so much,
at one point he's willing to reveal his secret under her,
which is a pretty important thing, like to him.
It's not something that he would tell some woman lightly.
So he must have strong feelings and affections
for this woman that he cares about so much.
You know, you can almost see, and it's to a fault in a sense
that he's gonna end up being punished
and have to suffer for this.
You know, you kind of almost could see some parallels
with Jesus Christ and Samson
and like Delilah being like Israel
and how Israel's is constantly betraying him
and stabbing in the back and he just loves her anyways.
And even after revealing the secret, like the gospel,
then she ends up killing him
like the Jews end up killing Jesus Christ.
And of course, Jesus is kind of picture
through Samson's sacrifice and he pushes the pillars,
kind of almost a foreshadowing of the gospel
and him being on the cross.
So while Samson's kind of a messed up, screwed up character
and he doesn't have the same virtuous attributes
as Jesus Christ, there's still some parallels there
and you can kind of see.
And so I would liken in his love under Delilah
as kind of how Jesus loves Israel
even though they don't reciprocate,
even though they betray him.
And that's how Israel was, they betrayed Jesus
and she betrays him.
But we can still learn from the Cardinal Trues here
and still realize even though that's a great spiritual truth,
like the Cardinal Trues are still like,
don't make these decisions and don't be like Samson, okay?
Because Samson's still making mistakes here
and doing bad things, but he loves this woman
and think about this, she's kind of got the best guy.
I mean, there's not really a better guy.
In a sense that he's the strongest guy,
he's probably doing okay financially
because he's able to just slaughter Philistines
and take a lot of their goods.
So he's probably doing okay financially.
He's the strongest guy, he's the most godly of anybody.
He's a judge and he's just kind of like,
he's kind of like the bad boy.
You would think like this is the guy,
like every girl wants to be with Samson.
I mean, he's the dude.
And yet she still loves money more than Samson.
Why? Because she was the wrong kind of woman.
Even if given the right guy,
the wrong woman will destroy him too.
Like there's not like, oh, well,
she just needs to find her soulmate.
Her soulmate was money because she's just a lover of herself.
She's the selfish woman that doesn't love any man
because she kind of has the best guy
and she's still not satisfied with the best guy.
The Elizabeth Taylor, seven husbands.
It's just like you can't be satisfied
with some guy that's a hunk and has money.
It's just like these type of women will never be satisfied.
And that's why you have to be careful
with this kind of a woman that would sell you out.
I mean, look, the promiscuous woman,
notice she will sell you for money to be killed.
She would sell your soul
and allow you to be destroyed, tortured and murdered
just for money.
And again, I do believe we see modern day parallels
of women like this, like the Amber Heard,
a woman that would probably sell out whoever man,
whatever man she is for money,
just simply murder and allow him to die.
If we skip to verse 16,
says,
And it came to pass when she pressed him daily
with her words and urged him
so that his soul was vexed and to death
that he told her all his heart.
So she's lying to him saying,
I just want to find out what's going on,
like tell me because I want you to prove your love to me.
But she was lying.
She wanted the secret to be used against him.
And that's why you don't believe all women
and don't believe the promiscuous woman.
Don't believe the woman
that is not going to be saving herself for marriage
and be that virgin woman or virtuous woman
because by and large, most of the time,
they have ulterior motives
and they don't have your heart and mind
and they would betray you.
And I'm not saying that every woman
that's committed fornication will kill you.
I'm not saying that they're all going to sell you out.
But at the end of the day,
this is the type of woman to stay away from,
the Bible's warning,
the Bible's saying the sinner is going to be destroyed
by this particular person
and not just evil people,
just even a godly person that becomes a sinner,
Samson,
a godly person that goes down a sinful path,
being with a lot of women,
committing a lot of fornication.
And of course, as a result of that,
he ends up being with the wrong woman.
He kind of has this problem his whole life.
First wife, bad marriage, bad relationship,
she dies, she's burnt with fire.
Then it's like he just lays with harlots.
Then it's like now we meet Stalila.
He's just on a crash course.
And I think there's a lot of men on this crash course
and because of it, they never even hear the gospel.
They're not even interested
and that's why they die and go to hell.
And so that's why you should just avoid this type of woman.
Even if you are saved,
just avoid it because,
hey, she might vex you
until she just gets all your secrets, all your money
and then just takes you.
And look, there's a lot of women in society today
that commit adultery in America
and then sue their husband
and take all their alimony,
all their child support
and it was some other dude
just vexing them every day of their life
because she was the wrong kind of woman.
It's a scary thing.
It's a scary, scary thing.
That's what you need to stay away from
that kind of a woman.
It says, in a cane to passman,
she pressed him daily with her words
and urged him so that his soul was vexed into death,
that he told her all his heart
and said into her,
there had not come a razor upon my head
for I have been a Nazarite under God
from my mother's womb.
If I be shaven, then my strength will go from me
and I shall become weak
and be like an other man,
be like any other man.
And when Delilah saw that he told her all his heart,
she sinned and called for the lords of the Philistines
saying, come up this once,
for he hath showed me all his heart,
then the lords of the Philistines came up under her
and brought money into their hands.
So again, from a spiritual perspective,
you kind of see like
he's never violated this commandment,
kind of like how Jesus never sinned.
And then he's shaven,
which makes him weak
in the sense that Jesus then bears the sins
of all the people becomes weak
and is capable of dying.
And of course he dies in our place on the cross.
So there's all kinds of different spiritual parallels here,
but he tells her a secret.
Here's another lesson you should learn, men.
Don't tell women that you're not married to your secrets.
Don't just give her the keys to the kingdom
because she could use that against you.
You know, if you're not, think about it,
you can't even get married
and then you're gonna tell her
the most important secret you could possibly tell her.
You know, and we even struggle with this in our government
where you have these women
that are enticing some of our foreign officials
to literally get government secrets out of them.
It's got like being honey potted,
or they basically, it's fang fang.
You know, they just have these like Chinese women
coming in pretending that they like these politicians
just to get national secrets
and just to somehow swoop in there
and find out kind of government secrets.
Like, this is a reality.
And it's the same playbook as they did with the Lila.
It should just be called Operation Delilah.
You know, going in and just getting these secrets.
And of course, they don't like these guys
because they're handsome or they actually care about them.
They're just flattering them
and using them for secrets and attention.
And you know what?
Do not give secrets to a woman you're not married to.
Don't share all your heart to a woman you're not married to.
You know, there's some things,
there's some levels of intimacy
that are reserved for marriage.
And you want to be careful with who you marry
and marry a godly woman.
You know, the virtuous woman,
the heart of her husband does safely trust in her.
The heart of a hooker, of a whore, of a harlot?
No.
Of a prostitute?
No.
Of this kind of a woman?
No.
And you know what?
It's crazy to think about the story
and I know we skipped it.
But it's like, how many times did she lie to him already?
It's like, look, especially,
I mean, this woman's lying to you repeatedly
and you're catching her in her lies.
Why would you then reveal a secret to her?
Why would you then do this?
But you know, the Bible had said in Proverbs 7
that like, after a much fair speech, she forced him.
It's almost like they still have some kind of control.
That's why you just don't give your strength
unto women, as Proverbs 31 told us.
And you know, we see Samson literally
giving his strength unto Delilah
and she uses it against him
and causes him to be a captive.
His eyes get poked out
and he becomes someone that's just grinding
and just in the prison house until his death.
Now, I looked at some modern examples of this
because it's really important
that we don't just quote, believe all women.
And there are modern examples
of women doing this kind of stuff.
And so, you know, if you for some reason
decide to say, I don't care what Pastor Shelley said,
I'm gonna go to the bars.
I'm gonna go to college
and I'm gonna go to the fraternities
and I'm gonna go to the sorority houses
and I'm gonna go to all the parties
and I'm gonna hang out with these permissive women.
Well, you might end up becoming
someone that gets falsely accused.
Not only would you not necessarily say,
well, I won't make that mistake.
Okay, but you know what?
You could be around a woman like Potiphar's wife
and you say, I don't even wanna do that
and you were virtuous,
but you were just in the wrong place
and then she falsely accuses you.
So like, not only are there men
that commit fornication and destroy themselves,
there's men that don't commit fornication
but just decided to ignore my advice,
ignore the Bible's advice,
ignore God's word
and just go in the wrong place
around the wrong people
and then they lie about you.
Now, here's an example.
It was like 2005 in New York
and I'm gonna mispronounce her name.
I don't know, it's Bernie Poguerro
and I'm probably mispronouncing her name,
but she falsely claimed
that she was forced by a knife point,
by a construction worker named William McCaffrey
and two other men.
And then McCaffrey was convicted
and served four years in prison
until DNA evidence came out
and overturned the conviction
and it found out that she completely lied about it
and she was guilty of perjury
and fabricated the entire story.
So some dude just literally in prison
for four plus years
because some woman
just completely fabricated an entire story about him.
Another girl, Crystal Mangum,
she was at Duke University
and she was going to parties with the La Crosse team.
So these guys that were playing La Crosse,
she accused multiple players
of forcing her at a party
and then the players were indicted.
It became a national media incident
and then later it found out
that she was completely lying about it
but it ruined these guys' reputations,
it disrupted their college experience
like all this crazy stuff
and of course once you get labeled by the media
as a rapist,
it's pretty hard to continue playing La Crosse,
it's pretty hard to continue going to school
and getting a job and anybody liking you.
I mean, that's hard to get away from the stain
of that particular accusation.
This same woman,
so she falsely accuses
multiple La Crosse players of doing this, right?
Just a few years later,
she ends up murdering her boyfriend
and then she's in prison,
then she came out and publicly admitted
that she had lied about the whole story
of the La Crosse players
and that it was totally fabricated.
It's like, hey, this woman that's really permissive,
I met this girl at a party.
Well, she might lie about you.
She might even kill you, literally.
Okay, don't think like, oh, but she said I'm so handsome
and she said she likes me and you know what?
It's a lie, it's flattery.
Don't believe these promiscuous,
whorish women,
stay away from the parties,
stay away from the bars,
stay away from these areas.
You know, you should just realize
that women can be a trap.
And it's a hard lesson because you just kind of think,
no, women are so sweet and they're so kind
and they're so gentle and they would never lie
and you know, women just,
they have a heart of gold.
It's like, the Bible doesn't pay this picture.
The Bible paints a picture
that mankind in general is very sinful.
Mankind in general is a liar
and that according to the Bible,
a virtuous woman is actually very rare.
It's not common, it's rare.
Meaning that young men should be searching hard for a wife,
not just taking whatever comes their way.
Not just taking some flusy that lies to them
and flatters them,
but actually being diligent in the search.
Go back to 1st Timothy chapter two,
go back to 1st Timothy chapter two.
So what have we learned so far?
Number one, that virtuous women are rare.
Number two, that permissive women are very dangerous
and young men need to not believe
the promiscuous woman.
A woman that's dressed like a whore or a hooker.
Don't believe it when she says that she's super into you.
She's probably lying.
You know, the Bible says the adulterous
will hunt for the precious life.
And this doesn't go just for single men.
Hey, you married men,
don't think that that adulterous woman
is somehow into you.
She's willing to commit adultery.
And you, oh, but she wouldn't lie to me.
Come on, really?
Lying is way less and way more likely
than committing adultery.
A woman that will commit adultery with you
will do all manner of things.
And in fact, in some cases,
I think that their only goal in life is just to ruin people.
It's just destroy people.
You know, you don't want to be around Potiphar's wife.
Potiphar's wife, she just wants to commit adultery.
Nope, she's willing to lie about it
and commit Joseph to prison for the rest of his life.
She didn't even know if it was prison.
He could have died.
They could have just executed him.
Potiphar could have just killed Joseph on the spot.
I mean, you know, if some guy came home
and the wife is like, you know,
in a distressed position with garments that are ripped
or whatever and said, this guy was trying to force me.
I mean, a lot of guys would just kill the guy on the spot.
Especially a guy of status against a slave.
I mean, you would think that there's,
it's probably even just legal.
I mean, he could probably just kill a slave if he wanted.
It seemed like maybe he was a little skeptical.
I don't know.
Like, I don't know why he just put her in prison,
put him in prison,
because in most cases you'd probably just be like,
just kill him, you know,
or let me kill him or something.
Obviously he was upset about the situation.
And obviously from a public perspective,
he kind of has to just believe his wife.
But you know what?
You don't have to just believe Potiphar's wife
and you don't stay away from her.
Men stay away from the bars, stay away.
You know, if you work in an environment
where you're around other women,
don't get chummy with them.
Don't try to form some weird relationship with them.
You know, I worked in a lot of places
where there's a lot of women earlier in my careers,
you know, working in banks and working in these institutions.
And women would go around and joke.
This was a common thing.
Teachers and women in the banking system,
they would joke about a guy at work
being their work husband.
Who's ever heard this before?
They're quote, work husband.
Look, it is a wicked and adulterous environment out there.
And you don't get you a work husband
or a work wife or whatever nonsense.
There was a bank that was kind of known
as the White Swapping Bank that when I was working there
was just like constant, just adultery
and constant nonsense going on.
Unfortunately, a lot of people I've known personally
that I thought were good people.
Like I like the person.
They seem like a pretty good person.
I've known they committed adultery.
Their wives committed adultery on them.
They're now divorced.
They're just all kinds of train wreck.
I mean, it is, it is common.
Don't believe it.
Stay away from it.
And you know, even if there is an exception,
almost every time they would always admit to me
like it was not worth it.
It's ruined their lives, that they're so distressed.
Like they're not just like,
oh, I committed adultery is the best thing
I've ever done in my life or now I'm so happy.
Like it was always a train wreck,
always a disaster.
In most cases they're like trying to still like
stay with their spouse.
Like they commit adultery and then they realize,
wow, I didn't want to be with that woman.
She was, she's psycho.
She's crazy.
I wish I could just go back and be with my wife.
You know, I wish I could go back and be with my husband.
I wish I could have this relationship prepared again.
And unfortunately a lot of times
it's hard to put that genie back in the bottle.
So you just don't believe it.
Don't believe it.
Stay away from it.
It's dangerous.
And our society is becoming more adulterous
and more promiscuous by the second.
It's scary.
First Timothy chapter two, look at verse 11 again.
We're reading this again.
Let the woman learn in silence is all subjection,
but I suffer not a woman to teach
nor assert authority over the man, but to be in silence.
For Adam was first formed then Eve
and Adam was not deceived,
but the woman being deceived is in the transgression.
I would say that the Bible is teaching two points here.
Number three would be that women are,
biblically speaking, a little bit more gullible
by and large than men.
I mean, that's just what the Bible is saying here.
Now am I saying that all women are more gullible
than all men?
No, but generally speaking,
the Bible is saying that women
are a little bit more gullible here.
And if you look at chapter, I think it's,
yeah, second Timothy, just flip the page.
Second Timothy chapter three.
Here's another text that we could look at.
Verse six.
For of this sort are they which creep into houses
talking about false prophets
and lead captive, silly women laid in with sins,
led away with divers lust.
So the Bible says like,
who are the people that are most likely to be deceived?
It's the silly women.
The Bible talks about beguiling, unstable souls.
It's been an old adage that the vacuum salesman
would try to capture a lady that's alone at home
while her husband's at work
to sell her a bill of goods.
That the used car salesman or a car salesman
or a mechanic would take advantage of the housewife
just because she's not as knowledgeable and more trusting.
And I think by nature, it's not so much
that women are just gullible, it's that they're trusting.
And it's that God inherently created women
to be a very trusting person
because she's supposed to be led by her husband
and she's supposed to be putting all that trust
and all of that reliance into her husband.
But unfortunately, when any kind of man
is speaking very confidently with a lot of authority,
it can be very believable to a lot of women.
And that's why it's very dangerous
and that's why you should be very careful.
But of course, not only that, even just women today,
because they become so influential online
with TikTok, social media, influencers
that now a lot of women are listening
to a lot of women online and they're falling victim of this.
And it's not even just the man at False Prophet,
it is there's literal women preachers now.
And women pastors and they're just leading
all kinds of other women astray.
You have all these non-denominational churches
like Lake Point with Josh Houghton,
he's boasting of 30, 40,000 people
going to his church on a weekend.
30, 40,000 people are going to church
and he has women preachers coming into their church
all the time.
They have women events where they're just having
a woman get up there and preach whatever nonsense
to the women and these churches.
And of course, a lot of these women,
a lot of these churches, they're lifting up
people like Candice Owens, lifting up people
like Ali Bestucky and other women podcasters
and influencers out there and just listening
to all this, there's just all this information
going out there and they're being led astray.
They're being deceived just like the serpent,
the guile Eve in the garden and women,
silly women, which is meaning
they're not taking things seriously
and they're easily led astray.
They're laden with sins, a lot of divorces
and what I've noticed and I'm not saying it's all
but what I've noticed is a lot of these women podcasters
and women influencers, when you look at the comment section,
when you look at the people liking
and supporting these posts, it is disproportionately
filled with women that are divorced,
separated from their husbands, just hardcore feminists.
It is attracting a certain type of woman
which is abort them and bolster them
and they're looking for someone to itch those,
to scratch those itching ears in a sense.
They want to hear this kind of information
but here's the problem is these women preachers,
these women influencers are preaching
and saying a lot of lies.
It's like Candace Owens, first of all, she's a Catholic.
Case closed, don't listen to her ever again, okay?
Not only is she a Catholic, I mean,
I listened to some clip at one point
where she was just like interested in the flatter theory
and she's like, I can't say that she was like
saying she for sure believed it
but she's like, I've just been really looking into it.
It's really interesting and I'm thinking it's fascinating
and I think we should all be looking into it.
No, we shouldn't be looking into it, okay?
Nonsense, not only that, more recently
there's been a hot button case of a woman
who murdered three of her children
and by her own defense attorney in court
admitted that she did it.
Okay, so unless you think that I'm just falling for lies,
I don't know why your defense would admit that
in open court when it wasn't true.
And then look, I've been in proceedings
where the defense is pretty bad
but like that's really bad, okay, if you didn't.
But Candace Owens is going out there online saying
she's obviously not guilty.
What do you mean obviously
when your defense attorneys are saying that you did it?
Again, from a defense perspective
they're just trying to say she did it but she's crazy.
And I was like, of course she's crazy, she killed her kids.
Like why is that even, why is that even you get off
for murder because you're crazy?
I would think that that would make it more like,
hey, well we need to put you to death then
because you're crazy, like, you know.
Oh, this one's crazy.
We'll put her back in society, you know.
It's like, no, I'd rather take the rational woman,
you know, like, and again, like, it's like,
oh, she killed a fag intruding into her house.
Like, okay, normal, right?
She's crazy and killed her own kids.
It's like, wow, put her to death.
Like who's more dangerous in society
than a woman that would kill her own kids?
Because there's no one in this planet
that she would love more than her own kids.
And it's like a woman that what,
lied about guys committing a capital punishment crime,
rape, what does the Bible say is the punishment
if you lie about a capital punishment crime?
Death, but then we didn't
and then she kills her boyfriend.
Just kills another guy, some other sucker,
some other gullible man, okay.
A woman that kills three of her kids,
why would you not put this woman to death?
That is insane.
I mean, our society is crazy.
Our society's weird.
And then it's this case of someone's,
oh, drug companies are bad.
And it's like, well, yeah, drug companies are bad,
but I'm not gonna sit here
and say that they're murdering children.
Okay, because this woman did it.
You know, that's a weird side effect.
And I've seen a lot of side effects in the commercials.
I've never seen that as a side effect.
You know, it's just like, it's weird.
And again, I guarantee, I guarantee that Candace Owens
in the next 12 months will promote some product,
some medical product on her show.
She's gonna sit here and claim big pharma butter.
I guarantee there'll be some sponsor
that's promoting some medical thing
that she'll be doing 12 months there
because people are giant hypocrites.
You know, is she gonna go on a campaign
for the next 12 months denouncing all drugs
and all medications and everything?
Is she gonna do that for us in real life?
No, it's just a convenient talking point
because she wants more people to listen to her,
more women to come and just be like,
we believe Candace, hashtag believe all women,
you know, women can murder their children
and it's no big deal.
And look, I don't know
what's gonna be the ramifications.
I hope that she's found guilty.
But you know, if she was found not guilty
of this particular case,
you know that she could serve a minimum of 40 days
in a psychiatric ward
and then be released back in the public?
And I'm not saying that would happen,
but just based on the law,
if she was found not guilty of this,
even though admitting like, I killed three of my kids,
but I was crazy.
They could say, okay, well,
we'll put you in a treatment facility.
After 40 days, we'll do an assessment
and if we deem you as not dangerous,
then we could release you back in the public
or then they can just do certain,
then there's all kinds of options here.
They could say, well, we wanna extend it
for this period of time and reevaluate.
And that's just basically how it works.
You just put in a psychiatric hold
and then they just evaluate you in different time periods,
six months at a time or 12 months at a time or whatever.
And they just keep reevaluating
and then eventually if they deem you as non-harmful,
then they just release you back into society.
Which, you know, there's probably a lot of other reasons
why they would release you like,
oh, the beds are full, we're not getting enough money
or whatever or they just release these people.
I mean, who knows why they would be making these decisions.
You know, this is a weird thing.
We're in the Bible, does it say,
put the crazy people in a building
with other crazy people until they become normal
and then bring them back into society.
You know, and then think about it.
What do they typically do?
When you put you in a psychiatric hold,
what is the fear and what is the thought
that most people think they're gonna do to you?
Like what is the common thing?
What do they do when they put you
in the psychiatric hold?
What do they give you?
Drugs, but isn't the whole case
built around the fact that the drugs made her crazy?
So now I'm supposed to believe we're gonna put her
in a building with crazy people
and give her more drugs
and she's gonna become normal again?
Like this is the logic of our world today.
Hey, these drugs made you crazy
and made you kill your kids.
We'll put you in a building with different drugs
and they'll magically make you good again.
Why didn't we give her the good drugs the first time?
Because that doesn't even exist, okay?
And look, I'm not trying to say
that people can't have hormone issues.
I'm not saying that people don't need medication.
I'm not trying to give you a medical lecture here.
I don't even care about that kind of stuff.
What I do care about is the fact
that if you murder your kids,
you should be put to death period.
It's just that simple, okay?
Apart from being like an actual accident
or unintentional, you know,
when you are purposely killing your kids,
it's over.
And even a biblically speaking,
if you were to kill someone
and it was through negligence, it's the death penalty.
Negligent slaughtering is also the death penalty.
You have an animal that was known to push in times past
and you allow that animal to slaughter someone,
you still get the death penalty, okay?
So we don't wanna sit here
and capitulate to this nonsense
and allow people like Candace to give this opinion.
And look, there are many women today,
right now, that'll still say, I think the husband did it.
Why?
Because they've listened to weird videos on TikTok
or whatever of women claiming,
oh no, the husband secretly did this all
and manipulated her or whatever.
And it's just like, why would the defense attorney
then again claim that she's guilty
if that was the legit angle here?
If that was the legit thing?
Because I believe in justice, I believe in innocence.
Like if someone really didn't do this,
why would you ever wanna admit?
Like why would any woman want to admit
she killed her three kids if she didn't?
I don't think anyone would do that,
apart from being like literally tortured for confession.
I don't think any woman of her own volition
would ever agree to such a thing, okay?
This is crazy, it's weird the world that we live in
and we should understand that, hey,
women can be deceived
and they need that authority over them
and whenever women are in a biblical marriage,
as a husband, you should be saying,
hey, don't listen to Candice Owens.
Yes, I believe that a husband has every right
to tell his wife she can or cannot listen to certain people.
Now I've gotten accused of being crazy
for believing this.
I taught this years ago
and I was considered crazy for believing this kind of stuff
but I still believe it.
Go over to 1 Corinthians chapter 14.
And this is what I get, you know, I always get mislabeled
because what I'm saying is just what the Bible says.
So they'll be like, oh, you're saying
that a husband is the only person
that can give advice to his wife.
No, I've never said that and I don't believe that.
I believe that the husband is the gatekeeper
for what information is coming in and out of his household
and he should be vetting what information is coming
into his household, his wife's brain and his wife's head.
You know, you could argue in my opinion
is that maybe Adam should not even let Eve
have had such a long conversation with the snake.
Okay, I mean, I think that's a reasonable thought.
Like what if Adam just never let her talk to the snake?
Maybe we wouldn't have gone down that road.
Okay, and I get that somehow screws up
the entire thing of the Bible
but I'm just saying in general, like as men,
maybe we should vet which snakes they're listening to.
It's like, hey, and maybe just make a rule.
Just don't talk to snakes.
Okay, but you know, there's people
that are kind of snakey and as men,
we should be like, hey, this is a snakey person.
You should stay away from this kind of a person
as a husband.
Look at 1 Corinthians 14, verse 34.
Let your women keep silence in the churches
for it is not permitted unto them to speak
but they are commanded to be under obedience
as also sayeth the law.
And if they will learn anything,
let them ask their husbands at home
for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
Now some people will obviously just
ignore this entire verse.
Like, I mean, almost every church
that's a non-denominational church
just throws this into the trash and just ignores it
because then they'll literally bring women up
and they just preach to the whole congregation.
Then there's kind of like a hybrid
where there's a lot of churches where they say,
well, we don't want women teaching the men
so we'll just have women Bible studies,
women Sunday school classes, women conferences
and they just have women getting up
and just teaching the Bible only to women.
I still think that this is a violation of this
because why wouldn't it just say,
hey, women keep silence in the churches
for it's not permitted unto them to speak?
It says, if they will learn anything,
let them have a private women's Bible study.
I mean, could they not?
I mean, they have the facilities obviously,
they're meeting at these places.
They have way more time on their hands than men
in a sense because men are going out and laboring.
Like you don't think they have the opportunity
to have a women's Bible study before church or something?
They of course could.
They said, hey, if they want to learn anything,
let them ask their husbands at home.
Okay, so I don't want to set up a women's Sunday school
at church.
I don't want to set up a women's convention
where we're going to have my wife doing exegesis
through the book of Proverbs or something like that.
Now look, I believe that my wife would probably
do a great job.
I don't even think that she would do a bad job
and my wife's really smart.
I'm sure people could learn things.
But you know what, it's just not what the Bible teaches.
And I'm just not going to do it.
I'm not going to set that up.
I don't want to facilitate that.
Here's a third way then people would interpret this
is they would say, well, this is only church.
It's okay for them to have just all these other places
where they're teaching women,
as long as it's just not quote church
or at church physically.
So they can have a Bible study on the internet
or they can have a Bible study in their home.
I don't think it was the location that was the problem.
I think it's the facility of facilitating
this type of an environment.
It's like where should the woman be learning?
It's from her husband.
It's from the husband authority.
Again, does that mean the husband knows
literally everything?
No, but you know, maybe this could be the question.
Hey husband, do you know this?
No, why don't you go ask this person
or why don't you go look this up?
That's a very reasonable conversation.
But instead of her just seeking out answers on her own,
she's allowing her husband to be a gatekeeper
and preventing her from getting information
from bad sources.
Because here's the reality of the internet.
Here's the reality of people in your personal life
is that every single opinion is out there.
There is a literal opinion on everything
in every direction.
There's milk is good, bad, ugly,
horrific, awesome, whatever.
It's like, how do you know
if you should even drink milk?
And look, this is a literal conversation.
I mean, me and my wife went to a pediatrician
where almost every visit, the pediatrician
is trying to tell my wife not to drink milk.
And she's like giving, she's like quoting the Bible.
It was like, I didn't ask you, you know?
It's like, we're here to like measure our kid
or whatever.
And she's just like, well, you know,
in the garden, they weren't having milk
or whatever and said what chapter and verse, you know?
And she's just saying, you know,
we're like the only species
that has other species milk, you know?
Cause every other species just only has its own milk
or whatever.
And it's like, okay, well, you know,
every other species doesn't have a soul
and is not going to go to heaven or hell.
Like I don't really give a rip, you know?
They're also not cooking steaks.
Like I've never seen two bears out in the woods
grillin' a steak, okay?
How far are we gonna take this logic?
You know, it's like, but I'm not joking.
We're going there.
And it's like after every visit I'm just like,
tell my wife like, you're gonna drink milk.
I don't give a rip.
Like, and she's just trying to like brainwash my wife
and me and the not drinking milk.
And you know what?
Praise God, I went to those visits
and it was not easy because I worked.
So I had to take off time from work
to go with her to the pediatrician.
What if I wasn't going there
and I'm not even asking her about that visit?
Well, she could just be getting this weird advice
and just start getting these weird ideas.
Like why is God giving you the landflown of milk and honey
when you shouldn't even be drinking it?
And you might sit here and think like,
oh, well, she's just a doctor.
Yeah, but then she's somehow preaching her doctrine
and her theology in a doctor's visit.
And you know, people really have a hard time
separating their theology from their advice.
So, you know, it's thinking like,
oh, this is a secular advice.
Many times it's very religious.
There's a lot of religiosity in these statements.
So that's why it's important to think
about who you're listening to.
You know, me and my wife, early in marriage,
she was, she would listen to, you know, or I guess read.
I guess read certain pod blogs or something.
And she didn't necessarily do this faithfully,
but she was reading sometimes a Matt Walsh blog.
And she liked some of the things he was saying.
And I was like, okay, so I read some of the articles
that she read that she liked.
Hey, you know, some of the things he was saying,
I was kind of like, oh, this is okay.
But then I'm like, so the same as I'm like,
this is a weird statement.
And then I'm like, I'm gonna look this guy up
and it's like, oh, he's a Catholic.
And I'm like, oh, that's exactly why he said that
because he's a Catholic
and he has this weird theology and whatever.
And I just said, hey, I don't really want you
to be reading his blog regularly
because, you know, I'm afraid
of whatever Catholic influence he's gonna have
and he has bad ideas and whatever.
Just don't, I don't want you to read that.
Why? Because of what the Bible teaches.
And it's not because I hate my wife.
It's not because I'm trying to hide
Matt Walsh from my wife or something like that.
It's because he's a bad influence.
And look, there's a lot of bad influences out there.
And there's a lot of women preachers
and women influences that are bad influences
that teach a lot of bad stuff.
And look, I'm not saying that women can't be educational,
that women can't teach good things,
that women don't have their places
and roles in society.
But what I am saying is that men should be
vetting this information.
And you know what?
I don't want my wife listening to a woman
that's constantly giving her theological opinion.
That's constantly expounding on her biblical attitudes.
You know, she's out there seeing some woman
explain to her how to cook some cookies or whatever.
She's like, has she got chocolate chips in it?
All right, I like this recipe.
You know what I mean?
Go team.
She's reading a recipe about how to make chili
with beans in it.
This is false doctrine.
You know what I mean?
Like, hey, I'm gonna vet this source or whatever.
And hey, I have preferences when it comes to food.
I don't know if you know that about me.
It's like, hey, you know,
when it comes to lasagna or whatever,
it's just like, I don't want the ricotta cheese version.
I want either a becamo sauce or something else.
So it's like, hey, you know,
reject this one and accept this one, right?
I want things prepared a certain way,
certain ingredients.
I don't really like sour cream.
I don't really like cream cheese.
There's certain recipes of foods
that my wife would make that have a cream cheese recipe
and she knows she has to reject it.
Or she lies to me about it, okay?
You know, it's one of the two, all right?
She'll be like, she's like, do you like that?
And I'm thinking like, what did she put in this?
You know.
It's like, but I can reject it
in the day that I hear it of, you know?
It's like, hey, don't do that.
It's like a game or something, you know?
Hey, I love my wife
and my wife is super smart
and she's super intelligent.
But here's the thing,
biblically speaking, I am supposed to be a gatekeeper
and I am supposed to protect her
and I'm supposed to, hey, have rules for her.
And you know what?
I think part of that is making sure
that she's not listening to bad voices out there
and not listening to bad information out there.
And look, we're all susceptible.
I'm not saying men can't be gullible.
I'm not saying men can't be deceived.
I'm not saying men can't be led astray.
But you know what?
As men, we're supposed to protect and guide our homes.
And you know, we should teach our wives
and teach the women in our lives.
Hey, don't believe all women.
Don't believe Candace.
Don't believe all these women podcasters.
Sorry, Lindsay Clancy, if she's getting to murder her children,
I'm not gonna believe that she's being honest
when she says she's insane.
And even if she was, that's not a defense.
She's probably lying about it.
She's probably a murderous psychopath
and she needs to be killed.
She needs to be put to death.
And I'm not gonna believe it.
Go to one more place, go to Titus chapter two
because this is what I also get falsely accused of is,
well, you just don't even believe the Bible
because the Bible says that women
are supposed to literally teach other women.
And they'll point to Titus chapter number two
as this reference.
But I think a careful reading of this text
will explain what the Bible's really meaning here.
It says here in verse number three,
the aged women likewise that they be in behavior.
Notice that the initial aspect
of this particular commandment is not teaching its behavior.
It's saying, hey, older women need to be in good behavior.
As we come with holiness, not false accusers,
not giving them much wine, teachers of good things.
So they'll say, oh, look,
notice they are a teacher of good things.
Verse four, that they teach the young women to be sober,
to love their husbands, to love their children,
to be discreet, chase keepers at home,
good, obedient, thrown husbands
that the word of God be not blasphemed.
Now, this is why I reject this,
is because this idea that this is a formal instruction
is that none of these classes make sense.
I mean, I don't see how this is a formal instruction
of like, hey, let's have a class on how to be sober.
What does that look like?
Is she gonna get up?
Don't go to the bar.
All right, let's all go home.
I mean, like, what do you mean be sober?
There's not really a formal instruction on this.
You don't need to really learn anything.
She's like, stay away from drugs and alcohol, case.
But what do you think is more important?
A woman having a 30 minute lecture on this,
or a woman just never drinking and having drugs
and alcohol in her life?
Which one do you think is gonna teach more
to the younger women?
It's talking about their example.
Them being sober is gonna be the lesson,
not a 30 minute instruction,
or a 30 minute formal instruction.
I mean, it wouldn't even really matter.
People are gonna hear what they wanna hear anyways.
It's by example that's important.
I mean, think about just love your husband.
What does that class look like?
That's a weird, weird, love your children to be discreet.
Is that gonna be a really quiet classroom?
You know, it's an almost counterintuitive.
It's like you're teaching a class on discretion
by being a public figure
and having this formal instruction on being discreet.
It's like, you know how you be discreet?
You're just discreet.
And you're teaching the younger women to be discreet.
Whereas if the older women
are always blowing off their mouth,
are always going online.
And you know what I've noticed is the women,
like the pastor's wives,
that love to just have all their podcasts
and all their blog posts and all their videos
and all the things they're constantly doing,
that the women that follow them
are the most obnoxious online too.
Isn't that interesting?
It's almost like what they're teaching
is to not be discreet because they're not discreet.
So then they're following,
and sometimes their followers are in more excess
than their master.
Their master's over here,
commenting, you know, five posts a day,
and then their followers are 500 posts a day.
And then it's like the woman that's never online,
the ladies in her church are rarely online too.
Isn't that interesting?
No formal instruction on discretion,
and then all the women in this group are discreet.
Formal instruction and none of them are discreet.
I feel like I'm seeing a pattern.
I feel like I'm noticing how this Bible
is actually interpreting the text here for us.
Chased, keepers at home.
You know, again, there's a lot of women
that it's just always a picture
or a video of them not at home.
Just like, here's me at this restaurant,
here's me at this place,
and here's me out doing this activity.
Here's me doing this whatever.
And then it's like, but the Bible is saying
there's supposed to be teachers being at home.
Keepers at home, keeping the home,
doing a good job at home.
And look, if there's a lady out there
that made a video about something
that's an educational purpose,
God bless her.
I'm not, I'm just trying to tear down women.
I'm not trying to say women can't be smart.
I'm not saying that every video
or every social media post is bad.
What I am saying is that I do not believe
the Bible is giving a commandment
for women to be going online and teaching other ladies.
I don't think that's what it's saying at all.
I think they're saying, hey, by your behavior
you should be teaching other ladies.
You should have a good behavior
and we want the older ladies to be in behavior
so the younger ladies will be in behavior.
They can set that good example.
Good, obedient to their own husbands
that the word of God be not the blaspheme.
Not going online and embarrassing your husband constantly.
Making your husband look bad,
speaking for your husband.
And again, just from a statistical perspective,
in America today, 61% of women are pro-choice
whereas only 41% of men.
That's a 20 point gap.
Abortion is morally acceptable to 50% of women,
only 40% of men.
When it comes to Democrats,
women are over 10 points more likely to vote Democrat.
When it comes to black women,
they voted 91% for Kamala Harris.
I mean, this is a problem.
And again, oh, well there's some women out there
that would vote well.
I believe it.
But you know what, by and large,
they're more susceptible to these issues
and they need to just submit to their husband.
What do we need as a society?
We need more women to submit to their husband
and just obey their husband.
And you know what, as a general principle,
we should not just believe all women
because they're very rare.
The woman that's being permissive and promiscuous
don't believe her, men.
The woman that is this woman, pastor,
or online influencer don't believe her.
And unfortunately, a lot of women
are more susceptible to lies
and being, you know, globally led astray.
And so, you know what?
Put all of your trust in your husband
and in the word of God, okay?
Put the trust in this, not in Candace Owens.
Not in some pastor's wife.
Is the pastor insufficient enough to teach you the Bible
that you have to have the wife tell you?
Well, my husband would never speak on women's issues.
Well, you know what?
I will speak on women's issues.
I don't need my wife to speak on the women's issues.
I can do it.
Well, you're not a woman.
Good, I don't want to be.
You know why I'm gonna speak on women's issues?
Because God wants me to speak on it and not a woman.
So I actually believe the Bible.
Okay, it didn't say, oh, let's get the women
to speak on women's issues
because only women can understand it.
No, the Bible says, hey, if they will learn anything,
let them ask their husbands at home is what the Bible says.
That's what the Bible clearly teaches.
And you know what?
We need men that are not afraid of women
and will say, hey, I will speak on women's issues.
Hey, I will say we should repeal the 19th Amendment.
Hey, I hope that we turn back feminism,
not just 50 years or 100 years, 200 years.
I like zero waves of feminism.
I've heard Baptist pastors get up
and say the first and second wave had some good things.
No, I disagree with it.
I do not want to become Mexico.
Did you hear?
I don't want to become communist.
And you know what's necessary for communism?
It's feminism.
I mean, read the Communist Manifesto.
Read Karl Marx.
Read all of these Jewish figures.
And they say, in order to get there,
we have to first start with feminism.
We have to first get the women voting.
And we have to first get the women
having self-determination.
We have to first get, you know,
usurp the authority of the woman over the man,
which is a satanic agenda
to then usher in communism.
And look, at the end of communism,
women are not gonna be happy they got there.
Eve was not happy that she ate of the tree
of the knowledge of good and evil.
Women have a self-destructive habit here
of going in this direction,
and especially the silly women laid with sins,
they will drag the entire group down with them.
And you know what we need strong men to say no.
We need strong men to tell their wives no.
And we need strong men to call out these influencers
and these women pastors and say no.
And we need to stop them from having influence
in our country, stop being our governors
and politicians and running for president
and being cops and being police officers
and having positions of authority.
And look, if they kill their children,
put them to death immediately.
I mean, if you were in a trial
and the defense stands up and says she did it,
it would be like we are immediately moving to execution.
It's over.
Why waste any more taxpayer dollars?
And you know what?
We should probably go and interview all the women
outside, you know, championing or whatever.
Like, did you get an abortion and did you like it?
All right, you can line up after her.
He's vicious, disgusting, bloodthirsty women.
And let me tell you something.
Our society is getting weird
because the Bible warns that in the last days,
perilous times will come
because there'll be people without natural affection.
And it is crazy
that a woman would harm her child
because women by nature would harm themselves
in so many ways to protect their child,
would throw their lives into danger
to protect their children, is the natural reaction.
And to pretend like this is something that's happening,
that women are just contemplating murdering their children
as somehow a normal reaction or a normal hormone,
you're crazy.
And you're capitulating to rep-bates.
And why would I care about rep-bates anyways?
Put them to death.
Let's close in prayer.
Thank you Heavenly Father so much for your word.
Thank you so much for this biblical order.
I pray that people wouldn't be offended by your design
that men would realize their role
and they would step up into a leadership position.
I pray that you'd help guard the minds
and the hearts of young men to not be trapped
by seductive, evil, flatterous, adulterous women.
I pray that you would just help the women
and this church to have great faith
and to trust in their husbands,
to love their husbands, to do good under their husbands.
I pray that you would help men to have a desire
to protect their wives and to vet the information
coming in and out of their household
and protect them from lies and from the serpent.
And I pray that you would allow our church
to be a good example of the biblical roles
of male and female and of a husband ruling over his wife
and wife submitting their husband.
In Jesus' name we pray.
Amen.
