Organized religion requires a government from the top down, priests and laity, etc. Christianity starts in the family with the husband as the priest.
One does not go to church to find God. One goes to church as a family because the family unit of two or three or more is the church or the living organism of the body of Christ. This is pure Christianity.
I do believe in politics that the family should be the most powerful organism that controls the organization of government. It starts at the bottom or family. The family is more important than any other bureaucracy.
Goldwater is an icon to me. I have never seen a person scare so many people, even though he was quite logical and believed in choice. I cannot understand why so many liberals fear libertarians and Christians when both seek to live and let live for others.
Many of the laws in this United States we have today do more damage to the family unit and especially the patriarchs than any other nation that I know of. Every left-wing government seeking, power hungry liberal and controller that I have ever met seeks to undermine the basic foundation of our country, the family unit.
God's laws made it hard for a woman to divorce her husband. There was a good reason for this. She could not rebel against God's authority in her husband without consequences. God never tried to control the prodigal. A godly husband will never try to keep a wife from leaving. That is her choice. She may learn from her mistake. The prodigal made it home. Some do not.
The lawyers and the legalist judges tempt women to usurp authority over their husbands and to empower themselves. Lawyers and moneychangers are very evil people at times. The politicians tempt women also by seemingly giving them power and telling them they are equal.
It is woman's influence that is powerful. She can wield that influence for good or for evil. When she wields it for evil, she will sometime receive her just dues, a weak and submissive husband.
Christ was our Heavenly Father in Spirit and the Son of God in His human nature. His church is the bride represented by ten virgins. A good husband knows how to be, in a sense, the spiritual father that his wife may have never had or he may be the spiritual father that she did have in principle from her natural father and continuing in the marriage.
Sometimes our wives need to be entreated as daughters. The problem comes when liberal men want their wives to replace momma and the whole family gets out of kilter. Sarah, in the bible, called her husband, lord(master). Today, that phrase is laughable when viewed by a liberal woman of progressive thought. No one lords it over me. Yeah, except those in government that you have elected to make sure you get your way, MS. whoever you are.
Everyone has a leader. A liberal woman looks to the law of man and the government for her needs, the bureaucracy. This is what went wrong with Israel. She started looking into the system and fornicating with the idols of power. It cost her a great deal but her husband did not try to hold her back.
There are many more older women in the world today that are very lonely. There are very few older men that cannot find a young bride or an older one if they have respect for him and like his authority and spirit and care.
No fault divorce has ruined these united States and turned them into the United States. The top has become the bottom and the bottom has become the top. Evil is called good and good is called evil.
