Things That Bernie Sanders Does NOT Want You to Know About Socialism

I thought about writing this piece, but then just left it in drafts.  I figured that most people understand about Socialism.  But then I felt that it might be a good resource for people who have grown children who are “feeling the Bern” and are all in for Bernie Sanders and his Socialism.

Sanders is just the kind of person who Benjamin Franklin was thinking of when he answered a woman as he came out of the Constitutional Convention. She asked him what kind of government we had.

He answered her:  “A Republic, if you can keep it.”

I believe that most of us have read Franklin’s statement above.

But today I found the speech Benjamin Franklin made at the Constitutional Convention. Being 81 years old at the time of the convention, he had another member read it.

Here is a part of the speech:

“In these sentiments, Sir, I agree to this Constitution with all its faults, if they are such; because I think a general Government necessary for us, and there is no form of Government but what may be a blessing to the people if well administered, and believe farther that this is likely to be well administered for a course of years, and can only end in Despotism, as other forms have done before it, when the people shall become so corrupted as to need despotic Government, being incapable of any other. I doubt too whether any other Convention we can obtain, may be able to make a better Constitution. For when you assemble a number of men to have the advantage of their joint wisdom, you inevitably assemble with those men, all their prejudices, their passions, their errors of opinion, their local interests, and their selfish views. From such an assembly can a perfect production be expected? It therefore astonishes me, Sir, to find this system approaching so near to perfection as it does; and I think it will astonish our enemies, who are waiting with confidence to hear that our councils are confounded like those of the Builders of Babel; and that our States are on the point of separation, only to meet hereafter for the purpose of cutting one another’s throats. Thus I consent, Sir, to this Constitution because I expect no better, and because I am not sure, that it is not the best.”  (emphasis added)

I must say that I was astounded at the wisdom and foresight of Franklin as he articulated his thoughts in this speech.  I also have a new appreciation for his well known words to the woman as he emerged from the Constitutional Convention. Benjamin Franklin knew much about the heart of man and the evils that lurk within.

Franklin had people such as Bernie Sanders in mind when expressing his fears that America’s government would be administered for a number of years, but eventually  end in Despotism.

Bernie Sanders would argue that Socialism is not an authoritarian government (despotic) but Sanders is no fool.  He knows history and he knows that Socialism as he and others perceive it, has never worked. It invariably evolves into Communism. Many would say “But look at the Nordic countries – it works there!”  That will be addressed further on in this piece.

I hope that many of my readers will print this article out and give it to members of their families who are feeling the “Bern.”

5 things Bernie Sanders doesn’t want you to know about socialism

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., announced the official launch of his 2020 presidential campaign on Tuesday, and within just 24 hours, he managed to raise a whopping $6 million. Although Sanders joins a crowded field of contenders, many analysts say the 77-year-old Sanders is the frontrunner to be the Democrats’ choice to challenge President Trump.

Sanders, who nearly defeated Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination in 2016, is a self-described socialist who has been peddling destructive collectivist policies for decades—everything from single-payer health care to punitive taxes and radical climate change agreements. Make no mistake about it, Sanders, who honeymooned in Soviet Russia, wants to fundamentally alter American society and impose a socialist agenda on tens of millions of Americans who want the federal government to stay out of their homes and businesses.

Sanders is undoubtedly hoping that his candidacy will benefit from the recent rise of socialism in the United States. According to a February Fox News poll, one-quarter of U.S. voters have a favorable view of socialism, and the number is even higher for millennials. Similarly, a 2018 Gallup survey found 57 percent of Democrats support socialism, while only 47 percent said they have a favorable view of capitalism.

Although the popularity of socialism has clearly increased in recent years, it’s largely because most Americans don’t understand what socialism is or its long history of failure around the world. It’s up to those of us who support individual liberty and free markets to tell our friends, neighbors, children, and grandchildren the truth about the dangers of socialism. Below are five facts to help you spread the word.

1. Socialism has never worked.

One of the most damning evidences against socialism is that despite the fact numerous countries around the world have attempted to create societies in which many, most, or all industries are collectively owned and managed, those countries have never prospered.

The ultimate goal of socialism, according to Karl Marx and his followers, is to create a society in which all people share wealth equally. But whenever socialism has been attempted, it has always resulted in tyranny.

The reason for this is simple: In order for a society to collectively share wealth, a ruling class first has to be established that will take wealth away from those who have it. That necessitates giving significant power to a centralized authority, the government. Once government has this power, it’s reluctant to give it up, resulting in the sort of oppression we see today in Cuba, North Korea, and Venezuela.

2. Tens of millions have died at the hands of socialist and communist parties.

Because regimes attempting to create socialist utopias inevitably turn to violence, socialism and communism have caused more death and destruction than any other political or religious ideology in the past century.

In research I conducted, relying on numerous scholarly studies, of 12 countries led by socialist or communist parties over the past 100 years—including parties in China, Cuba, North Korea, and the Soviet Union—I found there have been more than 167 million people who have been killed, murdered, or exiled in the pursuit of socialism. It would take roughly 56,000 terrorist events as deadly as the tragic attack by radical Islamic terrorists on September 11, 2001, to match the misery caused by socialists and communists.

3. Scandinavian countries do not have socialist economies.

For many years, American socialists have misled the public about Scandinavian countries like Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. Sanders and others, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., routinely refer to these nations as “socialist,” even though the evidence clearly shows they are not.

The world needs more wealth, not wealth redistribution, and history has proven repeatedly that you don’t create wealth by stealing it from some to give it to others.

For example, in the Heritage Foundation’s 2019 Index of Economic Freedom, Denmark’s economy ranked 14th, only two spots behind the United States. And in several categories—including “business freedom,” “monetary freedom,” and “property rights—Denmark’s economy ranked much higher than America’s.

It’s true Denmark, Norway, and Sweden have some large social welfare programs and high individual tax rates, but they also have very little debt, few regulations, and require all people in society, not just the wealthy, to pay a hefty tax burden. Further, the corporate tax rates in all three of these Nordic countries is only slightly higher than the current U.S. rate of 21 percent and much lower than the American corporate tax rate prior to the passage of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

Perhaps most importantly, Scandinavians are not better off than most Americans. They pay much higher tax rates; earn, on average, lower salaries; and pay significantly more for housing and basic goods and services.

4. Taxing the wealthy won’t pay for Bernie’s socialist plans.

Socialists like Sanders say that they can pay for their massive, multi-trillion-dollar programs by raising taxes on the wealthiest earners, but research shows this claim is false.

The Tax Foundation recently studied the potential revenues that would be gained by imposing a 70 percent tax rate on income above $10 million—a proposal backed by Ocasio-Cortez—and found that it would raise, at most, $291 billion over 10 years. That’s not enough revenue to cover even 10 percent of the estimated cost of Sanders’ “Medicare for All” health care proposal, which the Mercatus Center says would require $32 trillion in its first decade.

5. We need a wealthier world, not wealth redistribution.

Socialists like Bernie Sanders focus nearly all of their time talking about redistributing wealth, but what they never tell you is that research shows that even if the world’s wealth were totally redistributed, it would result in all people being relatively poor.

According to a 2018 report by Credit Suisse, “one of the world’s leading banks,” the total wealth of all the world’s households is about $317 trillion. If we were to divide that wealth among all adults, it would only leave about $63,000 per person—and that includes the value of the person’s car, home, land, and all possessions. In other words, everyone would be poor by American standards.

It’s evident from these figures that the world needs more wealth, not wealth redistribution, and history has proven repeatedly that you don’t create wealth by stealing it from some to give it to others.

The only way to help the world’s impoverished is to enact policies that promote innovation and enhance quality of life for all people. Thanks to relatively free markets and capitalism, that’s been occurring over the past 200 years at breakneck speed. The last thing we need is a socialist like Bernie Sanders getting in the way. source

However Bernie Sanders spins it, Socialism is the LAST thing our country needs.

I pray that this article will help the reader in the months to come. As of right now, Bernie appears to be the front-runner to challenge President Trump in the 2020 Elections.

We must continue to pray for our leaders and for the people in America. God’s will be done. He knows what has to happen to fulfill Bible prophecy.

Common Core Taught Our Children to Be Obedient Globalists: Is it Any Surprise That Most Millennials are “Feeling the Bern?”

“Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness;
Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”  (Isaiah 5:20).

This article is in no way meant to depress or bring a sense of hopelessness to the body of Christ. My hope is that the readers will begin to understand that we have arrived at this point in history because God ordained it.  Satan is at work to corrupt the minds and hearts of our children.

We must be on our knees daily for our children, the media, our government, educational institutions; and all other mediums which affect our children.

Systematic and well thought out plan

None of this happened by chance. It is well thought out and has been systematically implemented in our children’s schools.  Common Core was introduced in 2009 (during the reign of Obama) and now we are seeing the results. All we have to do is to look at millennials and see that which they are willing to fight for – SOCIALISM.

44% of young people in the millennial category are all in for Socialism. They are anti-Capitalists and anti U.S. Constitution.  I believe that the greater percentage of these young people do not truly understand “Socialism” nor do they know that most Socialist countries have morphed into full blown Communism.

They have been fed a steady diet of anti-Capitalism, Globalism, anti-Christian propaganda and a host of other un-American – pro Socialist dogma.

It used to be more of a concern on our college campuses.  We knew all about the predominance of Leftist professors lying in wait to pounce upon the Christian students – to belittle them in front of their peers. It happened in our family and I’ve heard stories from readers that they experienced this with their own children.

It is devastating.

But now, with Common Core Standards having been implemented in most of our schools – K-12th grade since 2009, the wolves (professors) on college campuses have a much less challenging mission. Many of their students from Christian homes have already been brainwashed and turned from their faith. This is NOT happenstance, brethren.   This is a systematic plan which has unfortunately been quite successful.   It is diabolical.

Common Core  AKA Commie Core

I wrote a piece on Common Core back in 2015.  We had noticed that our very bright grandson was suddenly struggling in school.

Some excerpts from that article:

The globalists at the UN have been very busy, openly plotting to impose what many call the “World Core Curriculum” and at the same time, eugenicists are working to drastically reduce the world’s population. Don’t you find it interesting that these globalists, and their plans for our world, are not exposed by the National news media?

I think it’s time for those of us who do care about these NWO initiatives, to state the truth – that the people who report the news are TOLD what to say. They are given the narrative, and commanded to stick to it.

We hear people say that George Soros controls the news. That is not heresay – it’s TRUTH! The billionaires DO control what is divulged to the public. The useful idiots are there to do the bidding for those who own them. If you are not using the Internet, and credible Conservative websites to get the REAL news — you are deluded.

COMMON CORE WAS PUT IN PLACE FOR KIDS TO FAIL

That’s a pretty strong statement, right? I will prove this to be true.

On January 22 of this year, the Washington Post ran a story on a teacher who is finally speaking out about Common Core. Jennifer Rickert is a 6th grade teacher of 22 years in NY State. She has had it with the curriculum, and she is speaking her mind. She may very well pay a high price for doing so. I have the utmost respect for this woman.

The title of the article in the Washington Post is:

“TEACHER: COMMON CORE TEST SET KIDS UP TO FAIL”

“Clearly, this is a set-up for the kids to fail. As students learn, they make sense out of new information through schema. Schemata are cognitive frameworks to which they can add to, or modify, as they learn new information. One could compare the requirement for children to understand these passages to expecting them to master algebra before establishing number sense; there is no foundation to build knowledge upon.”

Over the last few years, I have seen many parents cry about their child’s New York State test scores, and I have seen students cry because they can’t complete the tests. I began to question the validity of the assessments as they became more and more daunting for my students, but I believed that if I continued to incorporate the Common Core Learning Standards and provide the highest quality instruction, my students would be evaluated fairly. During this period, I kept the faith in our great state of New York and our educational leaders, hoping that there would be a fair resolution for the children.

Optimistically, I thought that if I remained professional, continuing to comply with the mandates, eventually things would change. So, I remained quiet. ​Today, I am a broken woman.”  source    Remember brethren – this is from the Washington Post!  Even THEY get it!

Distancing Parents and Children

“A recent study found that the Common Core model of education results in parents who are less engaged in their kids’ education and express more negative attitudes about schools and government. Does it need to be noted that kids desperately need their pre-existing, natural bond with their parents to get a good start in life, and anything that attacks this is bad for both the kids and society?”

“UN, Obama, and Gates Are Globalizing Education Via Common Core”

“For over a year now, Americans have been up in arms over the Obama administration’s unconstitutional efforts to bribe and bludgeon state governments into surrendering control over K-12 education through the controversial so-called “Common Core” national standards — and the outrage is still growing. A peek beneath the surface, however, reveals that the nationalization of American schools is actually just one component of a much broader global agenda being pushed by the Obama administration, the United Nations, Bill Gates, and others: the globalization of education.”

In fact, just this week, an invitation-only conference hosted by former Florida Governor and pro-Common Core ringleader Jeb Bush entitled “Globalization of Higher Education” took place in Texas. Among the attendees: Hillary Clinton, U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan, former World Bank President Robert Zoellick, UNESCO officials, university presidents, and more. While higher education appears to be the next target of reformers, the globalization of K-12 schooling is on the verge of completion — at least if the American people do not rise up and stop it.”  source

Watch what happens to a parent who questions Common Core

A women destroys Common Core Standards in 3 minutes!

Children in the U.S. are now ranked 40th in the world in Math, 24th in English and 25th in Science:

More from my article from 2015:

MOLDING THE CHILDREN OF AMERICA TO BE GLOBALISTS

You see, Common Core is all about molding and re-shaping the children of America to be “obedient globalists.” The rights and interests of the individual are pushed aside, and the students are being indoctrinated and brainwashed to believe that they must only consider themselves part of the greater good.

We know that this “greater good” is the coming New World Order. Global warming and Green energy are merely a means to an end. The “end” here refers to the sustainable world order; a world where the population is controlled (under 500 million) and the minds of the people are also controlled by the coming One World Government.

This is why faith in God is in direct conflict with Agenda 21 and Common Core Initiative. Why would a government which plans to control the people, want to compete with a belief in, and allegiance to God? That is why all communist governments demand that their people be atheists. They want complete CONTROL over the masses.

“To prepare humanity for their vision, however, requires a new form of “education,” globalists admit. UNESCO calls it “Education for Sustainable Development.”

On its website, UNESCO, the self-styled global education agency, actually boasts of its plans. “The UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005-2014) seeks to mobilize the educational resources of the world to help create a more sustainable future,” the UN outfit explains.

“Many paths to sustainability… exist and are mentioned in the 40 chapters of Agenda 21, the official document of the 1992 Earth Summit. Education is one of these paths. Education alone cannot achieve a more sustainable future; however, without education and learning for sustainable development, we will not be able to reach that goal.” Before the term “sustainability” was in vogue, the late UN Deputy Secretary General Robert Muller, the architect of UNESCO’s “World Core Curriculum,” also offered some insight into the purpose of UN-led, globalized pseudo-education.

The goals:
“Assisting the child in becoming an integrated individual who can deal with personal experience while seeing himself as a part of ‘the greater whole.”

Ideology of the Common Core

For a long time, Americans have perceived that student achievement levels have been falling behind those of other nations and that we need to do something about this. One effort to bring about improvement, led by the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers, resulted in the creation of the Common Core Standards in 2009. Wyoming has joined 44 other states in adopting the standards, which are set to be implemented by 2014.

While it remains questionable whether or not the Common Core will actually achieve the goal of improving education performance, and whether or not it’s part of an effort to nationalize education, there is another aspect to consider: Beneath the debated aspects over federalism and effectiveness, the Common Core is a weapon of ideology. The writers of the Common Core have an opportunity to shape the way of thinking of a generation of Americans. An analysis of the English standards show the framers have chosen to use this chance to indoctrinate students with a very leftist ideology.

The Common Core is not meant to produce individuals willing to take initiative and innovate in the model of our successes over more than 200 years. Instead, it is designed to produce a graduate who is more willing to fit into a collectivist model. It teaches a heavily revisionist history in which America’s past consists of almost nothing but slavery, segregation, and other forms of racial oppression. These distortions impede the maintenance of a free and democratic America.

Brethren, as Christians we see the implications of the systematic indoctrination of our children to Marxist/Socialist thinking.  It goes without saying that there is no room for the Christian faith in this indoctrination.  It is quite the opposite. The children are taught that Christianity is a stumbling block for the NWO to come to fruition.

We must pray like we have never prayed.  But we also must understand that the Lord has allowed all of this to happen, and nothing surprises Him.  We are in the last of the last days and we know how this story ends.

I am still praying for unbelieving friends and family. But the closer we get to the end, the harder the hearts become of the Lost.

God is able to do anything He wishes to do!

President Trump: Your Global Campaign Should Be For the Unborn Babies

To say that I am disappointed in our president for his announcement about decriminalizing homosexuality globally would be a gross understatement.

With all the publicity about the “Wall” and then the recent law in NY which allows killing mills to murder babies up to the day of delivery; I was hoping to hear outrage from President Trump over this, and an announcement of a campaign to STOP late term abortion.

Instead, we hear that he will fight for the LGBTQ cause and decriminalize this across the globe.  Is he going to the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman,  and demand that homosexuality be decriminalized in that Muslim country?

I seriously doubt that. 

So, what would prompt our president to suddenly become a spokesperson for the rights of homosexuals?  A writer from wnd.com, Scott Lively says this:

“President Trump has put his conservative base in a terrible situation by allowing openly homosexual U.S. Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell to lead a campaign to “decriminalize homosexuality” around the world. This gut-punch of a news story is being spun as a response to Iran’s recent execution of a homosexual man. While I believe I speak for most conservatives in saying I do not condone that execution, or capital punishment for any sexual crimes anywhere, I believe the Iran incident is simply a pretext for perpetuating the “All-In” Obama doctrine on LGBT issues by the U.S. State Department, and I think President Trump has been persuaded to cooperate on the false argument that doing so will mitigate leftist hatred of his administration here at home.

I have some bad news for President Trump: LGBTs and their surrogates in media, academia and government are IMPLACABLE. He will get no credit from the left, but will instead empower a small army of Trojan Horse “conservatives” among his base who are really progressive change-agents in disguise.” source

The wnd.com writer nailed it, and the reader can see the rest of his article here

If President Trump believes that he will be instrumental in the protection of gays in sharia ruled Muslim countries, then he is either extremely gullible or something else is going on here.

Votes over Conviction or is there NO Conviction?

When a sitting president makes an announcement such as this one, it is usually because he has been counseled by one of his advisors that doing so will help the Republican party in future elections.

Has this president forgotten that Conservatives voted him into office in 2016? Does he not know his own base?  As a Christian Conservative, I am outraged at his proclamation which tells the world that he believes that homosexuality is not only legitimate  – but in actuality he is saying that it is not sinful.

This has sent out mixed messages to both the Conservative base and the Left.

The Bible says this:

“he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways” (James 1:8).

Female Genital Mutilation (FGM)

I would have had more respect for this president if he had come out in defense of the millions of women from Muslim countries who suffer this torturous procedure. It is inhumane.

If the reader does not know what FGM is, here is a website which explains the procedure:  From the standard.co.uk   <click here to read

Mr. President: HOW ABOUT THE BABIES?

When we saw footage of the cheering amongst the NY State Legislature, when the bill passed which would allow babies to be murdered right up to the day of delivery; we (Conservative Christians) were shocked and saddened.

Personally, I hoped and prayed that President Trump would be as shocked and sickened as the rest of us.  Evidently, he does not feel that this new law which is spreading to other states, is worthy of his time.  Very disappointing.

Perhaps he did not watch the abortion performed on a full term baby which went viral on the internet. Perhaps he felt that it would be too graphic.  THAT is the problem.  People need to see the brutality and barbarism of late term abortion!

ALL abortion is wrong.  Late term abortion is both wrong and barbaric.

A friend said that these laws which will inevitably spread to other states should be called the “Gosnell Law” – named after the serial killer Kermit Gosnell. He is an abortionist who loved murdering babies. He even kept trophies in formaldehyde – hands, feet and various parts of his “kill.”

He is in jail.  A movie was made about this madman; but now I wonder if his attorneys are taking another look at his conviction.  They probably are asking this question:

“What did Kermit Gosnell do that is not now being considered the norm?”

Watch as the new law in NY is signed by Andrew Cuomo – the cheering is absolutely demonic:

Maybe this is a wakeup call for those Conservatives who feel that President Trump can do no wrong.  He is merely a man.

Did I vote for him?   Yes I did, but that vote was actually a vote AGAINST Hillary Clinton.  I know that there were and are many “Never Trumpers” and people such as myself were scorned by these people. They told us that we should NOT vote for Trump.

The Lord only knows where the U.S. would be if Clinton had prevailed.  As much as we resemble Sodom and Gomorrah, an America under a President Hillary Clinton may have been severely judged by this time.

Who knows what may have happened?  A devastating natural disaster or maybe a nuclear strike from Russia?

I cringe as I think about the presidential elections in 2020. Is true Conservatism now dead in the U.S.?

Will our votes matter?  Maybe not, but I will still vote for the person whose beliefs are closest to mine.  My trust is in the Lord and Him alone.  HE is in control, and if America votes in a Leftwing liberal, then that was what our God allowed.

Remember brethren, we are swiftly entering times in which a One World Government and Religion will be in place.

Come Lord Jesus. Come quickly…….

What Needs to Be Said About Women: From the Garden of Eden to the Present Day

I realize that this article will not be one of my most popular.  I have wanted to write it  for a long time, but because of the controversial nature of what I am going to say – I have procrastinated.

This has been on my heart so heavily in the past few days. I believe that the Lord told me that it is time.

The Temptation in the Garden of Eden

 “Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?”

 And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’ ”

 Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die.  For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.  Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings.

 And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.

 Then the Lord God called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?”

 So he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.”

 And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?”

 Then the man said, “The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.”

 And the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?”

The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”

 So the Lord God said to the serpent:

“Because you have done this,
You are cursed more than all cattle,
And more than every beast of the field;
On your belly you shall go,
And you shall eat dust
All the days of your life.
 And I will put enmity
Between you and the woman,
And between your seed and her Seed;
He shall bruise your head,
And you shall bruise His heel.”

 To the woman He said:

“I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception;
In pain you shall bring forth children;
Your desire shall be for your husband,
And he shall rule over you.”   (emphasis added)

 Then to Adam He said, “Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it’:

“Cursed is the ground for your sake;
In toil you shall eat of it
All the days of your life.
Both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you,
And you shall eat the herb of the field.
In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread
Till you return to the ground,
For out of it you were taken;
For dust you are,
And to dust you shall return”  (Genesis 3:1-19).

Brethren, I know that we have read this passage of Scripture so many times. But I believe that there are truths in these words which clearly show the dynamic between men and women; and how this has affected all of history up to these last days.

When God said to Eve “Your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you”  God was not speaking of a physical desire in this instance. He was telling Eve that she would desire to rule over Adam, but that Adam would rule over her.

From gotquestions.org

Question: “How is a woman’s desire for her husband a curse (Genesis 3:16)?

Answer: As God pronounces judgment on Eve for her part of the transgression in Eden, He says, “Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you” (Genesis 3:16). This verse causes some puzzlement. It would seem that a woman desiring her husband would be a good thing, and not a curse.

The Hebrew phrase in question does not include a verb and is literally translated “toward your husband your desire.” Since this judgment is predictive, the future tense verb “will be” is added for clarity: “Your desire will be for your husband.” The most basic and straightforward understanding of this verse is that woman and man would now have ongoing conflict. In contrast to the ideal conditions in the Garden of Eden and the harmony between Adam and Eve, their relationship, from that point on, would include a power struggle. The NLT translation makes it more evident: “You will desire to control your husband, but he will rule over you.”

God is saying that Eve would desire to rule over her husband, but her husband would instead rule over her. Replacing the mutually interdependent relationship the Lord had created was a desire for one spouse to lead the other. Sin had wrought discord. The battle of the sexes had begun. Both man and woman would now seek the upper hand in marriage. The man who was to lovingly care for and nurture his wife would now seek to rule her, and the wife would desire to wrest control from her husband.

It is important to note that this judgment only states what will take place. God says that man and woman will live in conflict and their relationship will become problematic. The statement “he shall rule over you” is not a biblical command for men to dominate women.

In the New Testament, God affirms His ideal relationship between man and woman in marriage. Christ-like qualities are emphasized. What the curse of sin created, believers in Christ are called to correct by living according to God’s Spirit. Ephesians 5 says that the wife should willingly submit to her husband’s authority in the home, in essence, refusing to scratch the curse-fueled itch to seize control (verses 22-24). Husbands are to love their wives unconditionally and sacrificially, just as Christ loves the Church (verses 25-30). The whole passage begins with an emphasis on mutual submission to one another: “Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ” (verse 21).

From the beginning, God’s focus has been love and respect between husband and wife. Though sin has tainted the original beauty of this relationship, God commands believers in Christ to pursue this ideal relationship between husband and wife, an ideal perfectly illustrated in Christ’s relationship with the Church. -source

This Sinful World 

When God pronounced the curses which would now come upon men and women, this was certainly not his Perfect Will.  Adam and Eve had perfection in the Garden until Eve was deceived by the devil and disobeyed God. Eve confessed that she was deceived.

Adam sinned willfully and ate from the tree when Eve offered it to him. I always wonder if the love he had for the woman God had given him became a stumbling block for Adam. The Word does not say that Adam was deceived. It only says that he ate.

Jezebel

King Ahab and Queen Jezebel served as leaders of the northern kingdom of Israel during a time of much evil in the land. King Ahab was an Israelite king who married a Sidonian woman named Jezebel and became involved in worshiping Baal, the god of her people. Ahab built a house to Baal in the capital city of Samaria and made an Asherah pole as a tool of pagan worship. We are told, “Ahab did more to provoke the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger than all the kings of Israel who were before him” (1 Kings 16:33).

Jezebel was likewise known for her evil actions. She was the daughter of Ethbaal, king of the Sidonians. After her marriage to Ahab, her first recorded action was cutting off the prophets of the Lord (1 Kings 18:4). Obadiah, a God-fearing officer in Ahab’s court, noted that Jezebel killed many prophets, despite Obadiah’s efforts to save them: “Has it not been told my lord what I did when Jezebel killed the prophets of the LORD, how I hid a hundred men of the LORD’s prophets by fifties in a cave and fed them with bread and water?” (1 Kings 18:13–14).   (emphasis add).

Certainly, Jezebel from the Bible was an extreme case of a woman wanting to rule and reign.  I have heard many use the expression “Jezebel spirit” as they speak of a woman who asserts her authority over men, over women – over everyone.

.In Revelation 2:20 Jezebel’s reputation lives on as Jesus speaks against the church at Thyatira: “But I have this against you, that you tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess and is teaching and seducing my servants to practice sexual immorality and to eat food sacrificed to idols.” The woman’s name in Thyatira was probably not literally “Jezebel,” but her immorality and idolatry in preying upon God’s people was very Jezebel-like.

Both Ahab and Jezebel were leaders of God’s people who forsook the Lord and served other gods. The royal couple earned a reputation for sin and violence, and they both suffered violent deaths as part of God’s judgment on their actions. source

Fast forward to present times

Do you remember in the 1960’s when the Feminist movement really took off?  Gloria Steinem and Bella Abzug along with many other feminists burned their bras and told women that they didn’t need men any longer.

These women encouraged mothers to get out of their kitchens  – let someone else care for their children, because they should be in boardrooms across the nation. They told women that being a homemaker was demeaning and things were going to change.

I remember when this was happening. Men didn’t even know how to act anymore. They were unsure of their role in the home. They were afraid to open a door for women, fearing the they would be read the riot act!   My husband always holds doors for me and opens the car door.  I love it!

Margaret Sanger

Do you remember Margaret Sanger?  The Leftist liberals worship her memory and even give a “Margaret Sanger” award each year. Hillary Clinton received it.  What did Margaret Sanger do?  She started Planned Parenthood – she was a eugenicist. She organized what was known as the “Negro Protect.”  She recruited Black ministers to come on board with her. Her plan was to place Planned Parenthood clinics on many street corners of predominantly Black neighborhoods.

Sanger brought the Black ministers along with her to make everything look “kosher.” After all, she didn’t want the Black communities to actually understand that she wanted to bring the Black population down substantially. She was a RACIST.  She was an evil woman.

Madalyn Murray O’Hair

Do you remember Madalyn Murray O’Hair? Back in the 1960’s, she was successful in getting all prayer taken out of schools. She and one of her children died a grisly death and were found years later.

I remember reciting the Lord’s prayer in school. There I was, a Jewish kid, but I must say that saying that prayer in the morning in school was the highlight of my day!

Abortion

Are you as sickened as I am when you see thousands of women marching for the right to kill their unborn babies? The leaders of the Pro-Death movement are telling women to be proud  of their abortions – to “shout” about them. This is so satanic, it is almost beyond belief.   These women are so deceived – they follow a person like Linda Sarsour, a Muslim who would NEVER consider aborting her child.   But she became the Pied Piper for the “Women’s” movement.

The Pro-Death leaders also speak for the women who follow them, and say that women do not regret their abortions. This is just not true. Look at Silent No More Awareness website and you will see many women who grieve over their abortions.

Women pastors

Brethren, have you noticed that in the mainline denominations, there are actually more women pastors than men? Look up the Methodist church and the Presbyterian Church USA – you will see.

And what do the mainline churches (dead churches) believe in?  They HATE Israel. They affirm abortion and gay marriage and transgenderism. Can you say “Deceived?”

Even the Evangelical churches have famous (infamous) women pastors.  Think about Beth Moore and Joyce Meyer’s errant and often heretical teachings!

I wrote an article a couple of years ago about a time then hubby and I visited a Baptist church. We found out the the head pastor ordained women as pastors in that church.

That morning they were have baby dedications.  There was a woman pastor blessing the babies. Then they presented to the parents – NOT a Bible, but the book “Jesus Calling!”   We never went back.

The Bible is Clear about Pastors Being Men

The Word says that women should not have authority over men in the church. But you say to me “Jesus said that we are all equal.”  Yes – we are equal in His eyes but we have different roles.

the older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things—  that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,  to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed”  (Titus 2:3-5).

In marriage the covering of the woman is her husband. His covering is Jesus. I will tell you right now that I have fought those feelings of desiring to be in control in my marriage.  But then my husband and I will go back to the Word, and I will realize that this is my sinful flesh trying to gain control.  Am I saying that husbands should be mean-spirited towards their wives. Of course not!

When my husband and I go back to the Word, we both realize that the Lord wants us to be kind and respectful to one other. But I immediately remember that my husband is my covering. Sometimes  as we talk things over, he will see points which I have made and take them into consideration.  Anyway, we go before the Lord and invariable I will see wisdom in my husband and I will submit to him.

 “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her”  (Ephesians 5:25).

“I desire therefore that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting;  in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing,  but, which is proper for women professing godliness, with good works.  Let a woman learn in silence with all submission.  And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence.  For Adam was formed first, then Eve.  And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression.  Nevertheless she will be saved in childbearing if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control” (1 Timothy 2:8-15).

As I said in the beginning of this piece, I know that there will be readers who are not enthralled with the content of this article.

I consider myself a writer of truth.  The ONLY place where I look for absolute Truth is from the Word of God.

If you feel that I have been somehow “unfair” to women, please go before the Lord and ask Him to show you Truth from His Holy Word.

How Can I Be Saved?

Shalom b’Yeshua
