It was the fiftieth anniversary of the Emmanuel Baptist Church of San Jose, California I had gone to enjoy in October 2015 as a member from 1980-85. Under the leadership of Dr. Willie T. Gaines as pastor, the church had experienced phenomenal growth and was widely recognized throughout the Southern Baptist Convention. It had encouraged and supported the seminary education of as well as sent out many into the Lord’s work. I was among them and remain grateful. My tears flowed as I reflected back on those days seated among hundreds in the sanctuary for the closeout service after a rousing choir performance and introduction of the speaker.
While I had already come to grips with how much the church had changed since I was a member complete now with a staff of women associate ministers outnumbering the men, I was still surprised by the male speaker’s opening remarks condemning sexists in the church (this was not his topic). The alleged sexists, of course, would be mostly men and preachers like me who hold to God’s program for mankind to include His order of authority in the home and His house as it is written in His Word! Truly, as the church son never invited back to preach or teach for fear biblical truth in love would be declared as it will be in this blog, I marveled at how unabashed the speaker and the church among the many falling away from God’s Word were standing in what is obvious rebellion.
Happy Mother’s Day to all of the faithful Christian women married to male husbands who still appreciate what an awesome blessing God has bestowed upon you through your natural body to conceive and bring forth new human life! On this Mother’s Day 2016, as the Lord leads I want to commend you for submitting to God’s will for you as a female in this present, mortal age. This divine will is clearly seen in your natural body with the roles, corresponding order of authority and responsibilities He has assigned consistently taught throughout the whole Bible and upheld by me in my book, The Strong Man Of God: Back To Basics. Rightly, with all else the celebration of Mother’s Day is, it is unavoidably also a celebration of God and His handiwork in the natural body of women!
Indeed, proponents of evolution should just give it up because in order to make your theory work with the intricacies involved in the reproduction of all earth’s creatures down to the cellular, you must ascribe to the supposedly non-sentient creation, the attributes of deity which is idolatry. Why foolishly do this when the living God has already revealed Himself to you through billions of proofs in the cosmos and your own natural body (Psalm 14:1; Romans 1:18-25) as well as declared in His Word He is the Creator of all along with man, His chosen ruler over all (Isaiah 40:18-26, 45:12; Hebrews 2:5-8)? As Creator, it is written and confirmed by the Son of God that God made mortal man male and female (Genesis 1:27; Matthew 19:4).
In creating the female gender or sex if you will, God makes human motherhood possible as the first woman’s husband commemorates in the name he gives her (Genesis 3:20). So, now, is God sexist because He is the originator of the physical sexes? Being a mother is the central and noble work of help a woman gives to her husband in God’s purpose of human procreation right down to this hour and the reason He created a female in the first place (Genesis 1:28, 2:18-20; 1 Timothy 2:15). Is God sexist for assigning roles with the corresponding order of authority and responsibilities to His creatures in accord with their sex? Secular atheist feminists boldly say yes on all accounts!
Ah, but the professing Christian accusers of God rightly fearful of His Person, dare not accuse Him directly of being sexist. Instead, they turn their demonically spun accusation on His faithful messengers claiming that in upholding His Word on male and female roles as it is written, we have somehow missed Him or more wickedly, missed their fabricated assertion the immutable God has changed His program from ancient times in favor of this more so-called progressive day. Please; the absurdity of both of these suppositions is beneath the presentation of anyone claiming to intimately know God and fully exposes the demonic origins as foretold of such doctrines in these latter days (1 Timothy 4:1-2).
Either God has established the roles of males and females in their natural bodies with the corresponding order of authority and responsibilities in the home for all mortal time, or He has not. His Word plainly establishes that He has! Therefore, all men or women that are disgruntled about the way they are made have a complaint and are ultimately striving against their Creator in arrogance and rebellion (Isaiah 29:15-16, 45:9-10; Romans 9:20)! For God has established the foundation of male, female, marriage, procreation, family and yes, His order of authority in the home and His house in accord with His sovereign will to bless and give mankind stability quite apart from the growing chaos of rebellion unfolding today.
As it concerns His house--the Church too is the creation of God (Matthew 16:16-18; Ephesians 2:8-22), while the eternally just God calls and gifts women to serve with spiritual gifts, we are taught that those gifts do not dismantle His order of authority from the beginning. Thus, in consistency with God’s order of authority from creation, the apostle Paul instructs the men as leaders and women in the churches in conformity with it (Genesis 3:16; 1 Corinthians 11:2-16, 14:26-40; 1 Timothy 2:11-14). Every soul professing to know and love Christ honors that instruction with obedience (John 14:15, 21, 23; 1 John 2:3-6). Otherwise, your disobedience is understood by Him as nothing but what it is: rebellion which God is already judging in the churches (1 Peter 4:17-18)!
For the record, are there sexist men operating outside of divine instruction to their destruction without repentance? Yes! Sinful males have historically oppressed, mistreated and dealt unfairly with their female counterparts in wages, for example. However, all this truth shows is the equally true reality that the problem is with men as sinners; there is nothing wrong with God’s program and order of authority! God’s remedy in Christ and the Gospel is salvation with heart change. But like Eve in the garden, Satan has deceived even many professing Christian females today into resisting God’s will because they assert, it is unfair to keep them from having something; namely, the same level of authority and responsibility as males in this present, mortal age (Genesis 3:1-6). Truly, this selfish, maniacally defiant and eternally destructive ambition is very familiar (Isaiah 14:12-15).
Neither God nor His faithful preachers are sexists! All women with compliant men making this satanically inspired and worldly aligned accusation have placed themselves in great peril without immediate repentance since you contend with your Creator as a rebel. The world in philosophy guilty professing Christians have forsaken the righteous way in Christ to follow will not be able to deliver you from the Lord’s judgment in progress among the churches or the coming Day of His wrath to put down the rebellion of all rebels, for there is no place for rebels against the divine will in His Kingdom (Psalm 2:4-12; Isaiah 30:1-14; Ezekiel 20:33-38; Matthew 7:21-23; Hebrews 2:1-4, 12:25-29; Revelation 6:12-17)! The risen, living Christ continues His cry among American churches, “Who is on the Lord’s side?”
On the heels of such an incredible journey through God’s Word tracking Christ’s post-cross activity and resulting promise of the Christian’s glorious destiny in Him just concluded in the April 2016 blog reposts, my great desire is to continue on. Lord willing, I will return soon to the subject of the resurrection and immortality of faithful Christians. However, my focus has been painfully diverted momentarily from the glories to come to the currently escalating rebellion against God that is participated in even by many professing Christians and their churches falsely claiming He has changed His program for mankind in this present, mortal age (Malachi 3:6; Hebrews 13:8).
Amazingly, from the question of to whom does it belong to what one’s rights are with it, the human body is at the center of this very open rebellion against God in these latter days. And why would this not be so? If human beings are going to rebel against their Creator, then it stands to reason that everything, absolutely everything including the human body tied to His will for them would be the object of resistance as is fully implied in His foretold Word about this rebellion (Psalm 2:1-3). I have been down this road a few times in my blogs, but the May 2014 posts, "The Body Beautiful," Pt. 1 and 2 under the same category as this blog, God’s Creatures, serve as excellent related posts.
Those posts and this edited 2013 repost are intended to state again briefly what God from His Word instructs as a foundation about males, females, their natural, mortal bodies and corresponding roles and responsibilities in this present age written not for worldly rebels as a first priority, but those professing to be Christians in the churches so they might repent before it is too late. For if we as fallen creatures are ready to visit punishment on our children for rebelling against our instructions, how much more the living, just and holy God our Creator (Isaiah 13:11-12)? This repost also forms the basic underpinning for next week’s blog and those to come discussing the immortal body.

Men and women have natural bodies designed by God to fulfill the divine will and purposes for this present, mortal age. Their bodily forms follow the respective functions male and female have in the divine purposes of governance and procreation (Genesis 1:26-28). God created Adam the male first making him the federal head of the human race. He then created the woman by taking a rib from Adam and dividing him functionally into two, bringing them back together as one in marriage (Genesis 2:7, 21-24). From His actions as Creator, clearly, God is the Owner of the human body and the soul that inhabits it! As a result, human beings cannot just do as they please with their bodies and lives in opposition to the divine will without consequences (Genesis 2:16-17; Ezekiel 18:4).
Concerning men as males and women as females, as I write in my book, The Strong Man Of God: Back To Basics, they are “different by design.” For example, in general historically, men are geared in brain function toward logic, reason and objectivity critical for problem solving, take charge leadership. Women, on the other hand, major in multi-tasking as managers and are more subjectively inclined. These and all other seemingly distinctive behavioral characteristics of males and females are those of the one man, Adam, divided and accentuated in each by God’s intentional design of their respective natural bodies in accord with His will. Thus, individually and together male and female are man (Genesis 2:23)!
In the image and likeness of God who alone "gives life to all things" (1 Timothy 6:13a, NKJV), Adam as a male was equipped in his body with the means to initiate human physical life. The testicles of man produce, store and deliver living seed that not only initiates human physical life, but also powerfully determines whether that life will be male or female. God gave the man a sex organ which is a perfectly designed instrument for the pleasurable delivery of his seed during the course of intimacy with his wife. While biologically it is possible for unmarried males and females to procreate, this occurs outside of God’s will that children be conceived in the context of marriage (Genesis 4:1).
So concerned was God that a man be interested in sex that leads to procreation, He also designed his testicles to produce a hormone called testosterone that in cooperation with his brain gives him a highly intense desire to have intercourse with his wife. Barring reproductive issues in either the man or his wife, lots of sex would yield lots of children in accord with the divine purpose for fruitful procreation affirmed after Noah’s flood and again following the wrath of Christ’s Second Coming among surviving mortals beginning with the Jewish remnant (Genesis 9:1; Deuteronomy 30:1-10; Isaiah 65:20-25; Jeremiah 31:1-9, 27-28; Ezekiel 36:7-15, 37-38; Romans 11:25-27; Revelation 7:1-8).
The reproductive system in the natural body of the woman is more involved than the man’s. God designed her body to enjoy intimacy with her husband and to also produce hormones that heighten her sexual interest. Not only does she receive her husband’s sex organ by way of a special body cavity that dually serves as a birth canal, but God gave her the apparatus to produce living seed to conceive after mingling with his. When a woman of childbearing ability does not become pregnant, her seed dies and God designed her body to expel it during a menstrual cycle.
God designed the woman’s body to have a womb in order to host a newly conceived human being for nourishment and development in its protective walls until time for birth. Upon birth, God designed the woman to be able to feed up to two babies at once with milk from her breasts that have been awakened for service by hormones in her body. Plainly, to the glory of God as the male body is purposely constructed to initiate human physical life, the female body is purposely and intricately built for conceiving and bearing that life! In the image and likeness of God too, the woman as a mother bonds with and nurtures her children (Genesis 3:8-9; Deuteronomy 32:9-12; Matthew 23:37).
Tragically, because of sin, the natural body does not always form as designed nor does it or the human soul that inhabits it function perfectly. In fact, the body begins to undergo decay leading to death after only a relatively short time (Genesis 3:16-19). Males with no or malfunctioning testicles and women that have been barren, missing reproductive parts of the body or that miscarry are seen throughout history. Too, in willful rebellion against God’s purposes men and women driven by a corrupt lust for pleasure have selfishly misused the sexual function of their natural bodies and murdered its fruit justly bringing divine wrath upon themselves (Romans 1:18-32). The risen, living Christ continues His cry among American churches, “Who is on the Lord’s side?”
