See how feminism has perverted many and how it is not of God. www.nopews.blogspot.com

1. Feminism...is not of God
Feminism
Definition: movement for women's rights: the movement
committed to securing and defending rights and
opportunities for women that are equal to those of men
Feminism has been around for many years in various
forms throughout history but it has gained fast momentum
since the suffrage movement in the 1800’s. Since that
time it has taken root in society and has blossomed into
gender ‘equality’ in more than just voting, but to all aspects
from jobs (work) to bodily rights (lesbianism and
abortion). Satan has done a wonderful job of convincing
women that God’s perfect design for the distinct roles for
men and women is not to be desired but abhorred.
God’s Word teaches that women were created for man.
And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man
should be alone; I will make him an help meet for
him. (Genesis 2:18)
(Help meet means a helpful counterpart or mate.)
We also see where God’s Word shows us that women will
(unbiblically) want to be the ruling authority.
Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy
sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring

2. forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband,
and he shall rule over thee.
(Genesis 3:16)
God’s Word teaches women are to submit to their
husbands.
Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own
husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also
may without the word be won by the conversation of
the wives (1 Peter 3:1)
For after this manner in the old time the holy women
also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being
in subjection unto their own husbands (1 Peter 3:5)
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands,
as it is fit in the Lord. (Colossians 3:18)
Wives, submit 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 is the saviour of the
body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ,
so let the wives be to their own husbands in every
thing. (Ephesians 5:22-24)
For after this manner in the old time the holy women
also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being
in subjection unto their own husbands (1 Peter 3:5)

3. But I would have you know, that the head of every
man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man;
and the head of Christ is God. (1 Corinthians 11:3)
God’s Word also tells women of their job responsibilities.
The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour
as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to
much wine, teachers of good things; That they may
teach the young women to be sober, to love their
husbands, to love their children, To be discreet,
chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own
husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
(Titus 2:3-5)
And Proverbs 31:10-31 outlines a detailed list of the
responsibilities of the woman keeping and managing her
home. (See HERE for more details.)
What we see is a beautiful picture of a woman being a
helper in submission to her husband, raising their children
and managing their home, all in the ways of the Lord. A
man is therefore able to focus on his role of husband and
provider, leader and protector of those that the Lord has
entrusted to him.
What we see in contrast to this is modern day feminism of
women seeking to come out from under the authority of
their husbands, passing off the rearing of children to day
care centers or other family members while seeking a
career, and neglecting the management of their home by
shoving off’ half’ (if not more) on their husbands.

4. It doesn’t just stop there; feminists have pushed to
establish female authority in many influential areas such
as the judicial system, protection agencies (military, law
enforcement) and government as well as labor jobs such
as construction, heavy equipment operation and
trucking. Feminists have also established their own
human authority over the ungodly use of their bodies
(homosexuality and abortion) citing freedom of
choice. Choice to commit sexual sin and murder?
This is not the beautiful plan of God, it is the destruction of
satan.
We encourage godly ladies to study the scriptures to see
the perfect plan that God has set up in His order of
creation. To see the blessings of being set free from the
deception of the world and it’s trappings for women. To
enjoy the freedom to serve Him in His ways... there is
nothing in comparison.
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the
lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the
Father, but is of the world. (1 John 2:16)

God's Grace

5. Do you understand and know what God's grace is today?
Part of living a discerning life in Christ is going deeper and understanding the
very concepts that explain who God is, what He has revealed to us and how He
deals with mankind.
Our blog would be missing much if we did not cover the amazing gift of .... God's
grace.
While no words can truly and fully explain His gift of grace; it is important you
know what it is and how it is applied to your life so you can live it out full for His
glory and transfer that truth to others as well. Basically His grace means this: it is
the "unmerited" favor of God on a persons life.
It is that which we cannot earn or buy and it is God alone who can impart it to us.
A good example is being born into a wealthy family. No son or daughter can
EVER brag about such a thing as they had nothing to do with it at all. God's
grace is like that for those who have repented, been born again and have new
life in Christ today. We cannot ever boast about what God has done for us as it is
a gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Eph 2:9
Because we know that man fell into sin ( Adam and Eve in the garden / Genesis
3 ) God had to place His wrath and judgment on all of mankind. It was only
through the Coming Messiah; Jesus Christ that man is then saved or redeemed
through the blood sacrifice of Christ on the cross. He has paid that death penalty
for ONLY those who will seek after Him and find His truth through the new
spiritual birth ( being born again / John 3:3 )
When you think God's Grace think of Christ and His death on the cross for the
sins of mankind.
Sadly many today are walking around loving and claiming the grace of God but
by their own fruits; they don't have a biblical understanding or perhaps even true
new birth in their hearts/ways before God as they live un-regenerated still in their
fallen flesh. This cannot ever please God. Let us remember this; His wonderful
grace is not a license to now be lazy or sloppy about our personal sin killing and
we cannot live in a disobedient carnal manner if we claim His name.
No, the Apostle Paul clearly tells us this in Romans 6:
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

6. If you are truly His by this grace and new birth; you will hate sin and work to
avoid ALL sin.
We are called to be His holy bride and so all sin and error must be removed from
our lives to honor the One who Redeemed us. Not living according to what His
Word teaches us fully and in ALL things is to be living in our flesh and the bible
tells us in Romans 8:8
So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
Let us praise God for the gift of His grace placed upon those who are His own.
Let us live in a fully obedient biblical manner that gives Him glory and honor
because of that free gift He alone has bestowed upon His holy people.
I will place some verses on the grace of God so you can see how it is used in the
Holy Word and then you can meditate on them fully:
Titus 3:7
That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope
of eternal life.
Ephesians 2:8-9
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift
of God
2 Timothy 1:9
Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our
works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ
Jesus
2 Timothy 2:1
Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
Titus 2:11
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men
Titus 3:7
That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope
of eternal life.
Hebrews 2:9
But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering
of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should
taste death for every man.

7. Hebrews 4:16
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy,
and find grace to help in time of need.
James 4:6
But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but
giveth grace unto the humble.
1 Peter 1:13
Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the
grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ
1 Peter 4:10
As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another,
as good stewards of the manifold grace of God
Jude 1:4
For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to
this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into
lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
If you are His faithful servant today; you thankfully walk in that grace and
remember this: while we cannot earn any part of that gift God has freely given;
we are called to obey His Word and follow Christ to the end.
And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them
that obey him;
Hebrews 5:9
If you are not His, repent and believe in Him for new life and see His grace work
in your life today.
Luke 13:3 Jesus said "repent lest you all perish"

8. Christian Liberty. Is It Being Applied
Biblically or Abused?
Recently I had a discussion with a Independant Baptist modern pastor about various biblical issues. One
of the things he kept tossing out there to explain why him, his system of man made religion and his
people don't seem to follow what the bible clearly teaches regarding worship, holiness and non
worldliness and such was a thing called "soul liberty". This doctrine is a Baptist invention but in our
witnessing we find many who often claim this liberty when questioned or asked about how they live out
the biblical life.
When I asked him where is that "soul liberty" taught in the bible, he gave me
Romans 14 and so let us go there.
Here we see Paul talking about what believers have been set free from and it is
indeed "liberty" to us.
But Liberty from what?
Paul tells us from what in the beginning of the chapter:
Verse 2
For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
Verse 5-6
One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike.
Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. He that regardeth the day,
regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth
not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he
that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
In context and historically there was an issue between the Israelites and the
gentiles in the early church. The Jews were holding to the food laws and the
Sabbath that they were taught to observe and the new gentile believers knew no
such ways. This caused much tension indeed. ( Acts 15 tells us "the gentiles"
what to observe and it had no Sabbath or Old Testament food laws in it for
gentiles now grafted into Christ.)
So what Paul is telling us in Romans 14 is that believers have the LIBERTY from
what was in the Old Testament as far as the many rules given to Israel as His
nation. Romans 14 is all about food and holy days and nothing else is taught
regarding that we have liberty from them.
You are FREE to eat what you like and to gather to fellowship and teach when
you want but; you should still be careful to not make a brother stumble over such
things. (Example: if someone doesn't want pork... don't cook it for them or eat it
before them.)

9. Verse 21
It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother
stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.
The reason this chapter "in context" is important is because today we see
denominations, modern pastors and people in the pews are often wrongly using
this LIBERTY of Romans 14 and applying it to all kinds of situations that have
nothing to do with food or holy days. (They have even built an entire doctrine
around it called "soul liberty" ) When I inquire and ask about various unbiblical
ways they teach or ignore in their body; I am told is it their liberty to do so. So
why do I take on this subject and call it out as an unbiblical practice and warn
others about it? Jude 1:3 says to contend for the faith as we strive to do this.
As a teaching moment look at this sad situation I encountered:
This same modern Baptist pastor admitted to me that another pastor has na
unbiblical / weak watered down gospel but; he stated that same man has the
LIBERTY to minister anyway he desires. This is a lie! If you read what Paul says
about another gospel in Galatians 1:8 you ill see a false watered down gospel is
wrong in all cases.
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than
that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
Note: the gospel this Baptist modern pastor teaches is one that says just raise
your hand to receive salvation and you need not repent and leave your old life as
a result, when the bible teaches no such thing at all. This is a false (another)
gospel that Paul warned us about.
If you read this verse (and others) in Galatians you will see that NO man has any
right or liberty to change or alter the Lords gospel! Jesus Christ died and rose
again to give to mankind freedom. But this is taking the liberty that Paul said we
have from "foods and holy days" right into uncharted and very unbiblical waters
that must be rejected out right!
Now they will always toss at us the verse in Romans 14 that says:
Verse 10
But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother?
for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
Again "in context" Paul is saying to NOT judge over food and holy days. This
does NOT mean we are to never judge other believers doctrine/actions as Paul
teaches us in fact "to do that" when open sin and disobedience is involved in

10. many places of God's Word. (See 1 corinthians 5, 2 Thess 3:14, Romans 16:17
to name a few.)
Let me show you some of the areas that the Baptist pastor and I were reasoning
about where he was claiming "soul liberty". I believe you will see that his
denomination, like all the rest, have usurped a wonderful liberty God has given
His true people from the OT law; to now allow an unbiblical, worldly and carnal
lifestyle. I had posed these questions to him and he NEVER could answer them
biblically for me? He just hid from them in silence. ( God's Word is not on his
side. )
Show us where Jesus or Paul ever gathered up people to preach to .... using free stuff or carnal ways?
(They defend giving away guns and free food to draw people to together just to give them a watered
down gospel.)
Please show me where just "raising your hand" but not repenting of your sin
gains anyone eternal life in God's Word? (They give a watered down gospel and
all you need to do is lift your hand to gain eternal life.)
How does your carnal entertainment filled with violent NFL/competitive sports, carnal video games
& immoral movies pass the the Phil 4:8 test? whatever is good and pure and true
(This pastor was a sports / entertainment promoter.)
Where does the bible say believers are to be silly, rowdy, carnal and out of control.... ever?
(They use silliness and rowdy ways to teach their teens.)
Where does the bible say we should "not" be Holy ALL the time? (See 1peter 1:15 )
(They claim you should dress or act one way in life but another when you GO TO
CHURCH?)
Do you teach your body the Lord Jesus owns words "to strive for perfection"? Matt 5:48
(Many church websites brag... "we are not perfect" when Jesus said we are aim for it.)
Where is LOCAL church membership and its man made extra steps in the Word?
(They tell me if I am not part of a local Baptist body... I am not in the body.)
How is denominational names "not" causing division and thus ... it is sin before God?
(They often defend their denomination more than God's Word.)
Why were ALL the men who came before us for 1900 years teaching a "cloth veil on ladies heads" and
today you claim you now have it correct?
(They oppose the biblical teaching of this but wont answer the question.)
Why does James 4:4 say "to be friends with the world is enmity with God" but you seek to be friends
with the world? (They cater to the world and desire for the world to like them and they use the worlds
desire to draw them to their religious building.)
Why don't you practice the priesthood of all believers and the active participation
of the saints in a gathering? (See 1 cor 14:26 where many men stepped up not
just the paid pastor.)
Where is the tithe EVER taught for the NT church?

11. (They often ignore whole bible verses in the NT but they stand HARD on the tithe which is not taught
anywhere for the NT church.)
Where is your modern pastors role ( one man running the entire body ) found in the
New testament? (They fight hard for pastor authority when Jesus said... never lord over
/ Matt 20.)
Can anyone have this soul liberty too, to do as I see fit or is that just made up for Baptist folk?
(They claim this liberty often but deny it for others.)
This man and many like him will claim "liberty" to do just as they please when
God's Word instructs us on so many things we are to practice as His true people
for His glory.
Clearly liberty can be applied in areas the bible does not give "direct input" on.
These may be topics like voting, drinking of some alcohol, your profession or
joining certain clubs / organizations. In these areas, we can simply apply the
concepts of God's Word as a test for the decision we must make about them. (
Phil 4:8 is a great testing verse ) In doing that you will find His Word covers all
topics and gives us godly instruction; even if not by naming them all.
In closing.... please understand this as it is direct from God's Holy Word.
There is no liberty to change the gospel for the fallen itchy ears of the world
(Galatians 1:8)
There is no liberty to be soft on any sin (Matt 5:48)
There is no liberty to be silly and not sober (1 Thess 5:8)
There is no liberty to live a carnal, worldly, disobedient lifestyle. (1 peter 1:15)
There is no liberty to follow a man made vain religious system of man. (Mark 7)
There is no liberty to be friends with the world and enjoy its ungodly
pleasures (James 4:4)
There is no liberty to add or take away from God's Word. (Rev 22:18)
Please make sure that you are reading your bible in context and applying it
correctly in all things.
Learn to discern what it says and seek to apply that to your life ( in ALL areas
) rather than just trusting in modern pastors and their religious systems that man
has invented on his own.
Indeed we have a glorious liberty in Christ!
We are saved by faith alone but many scriptures teach us to obey.

12. And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them
that obey him (Hebrews 5:9)
We have been set free from the keeping of the old law for our righteousness
because of what He has done for all who will seek after Him. ( His Sacrifice )
But you must never take that liberty and begin to place it in areas of your life
where His Word has called you to total obedience and holiness for His glory. By
walking in all of His ways; you will show godly fruit that is the EVIDENCE you are
really His and not just a false religious convert made by man.
Romans 6
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were
baptized into his death?
Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was
raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk
in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his
death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: Knowing this, that our
old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that
henceforth we should not serve sin.
For he that is dead is freed from sin.

Obedience Is Not Legalism
It seems in this culture that if someone claims obedience
to the scriptures that they are immediately labeled as
legalists or accused of imposing legalism on others.

13. The word legalism does not occur in the bible, it is simply
a term Christians use to describe a doctrinal position
emphasizing a system of rules and regulations for
achieving both salvation and spiritual growth.
A Christian adhering to biblical doctrine and teachings is
not legalism, it is obedience because God’s Word teaches
that disobedience to scripture is sin, not legalism. The
Pharisees imposed legalism on the Jews in the manner of
man-made rules.
God’s Word shows us that we cannot work our way to
heaven…
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not
of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest
any man should boast. (Ephesians 2:9)
…but we also see that the New Testament is full of
instructions on obedience from how we are to act, think,
speak, what participate in, promote, approve of, dress,
talk, look at etc.
Paul explains how he was set free from the law through
our Savior Jesus Christ:

14. Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh,
to live after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye
shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the
deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are
led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
(Romans 8:12-14).
"But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the
law" (Galatians 5:18).
Christians are not under the law. Jesus Christ fulfilled the
law thus giving us salvation by grace through faith. With
the guidance the Holy Spirit who indwells born again
believers, God calls us to good works as fruit (biblical
obedience in all things.)
I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh
away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth
it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now ye are clean
through the word which I have spoken unto
you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot
bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more
can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are
the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the
same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can
do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth
as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them,
and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If ye

15. abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask
what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Herein is
my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall
ye be my disciples. (John 15:1-8)
Let’s look at a few issues that are considered ‘legalism’
(according to the disobedient, carnal Christian) and see
what God’s Word has to say.
Headcovering (see link here) is instructed in
1 Corinthians 11.
Clothing (see link here) is defined in 1 Timothy 2:9 and
1 Peter 3:3
Women pastors (see link here) are unbiblical see 1
Timothy 2:12; 1 Corinthians 14:34; Titus 1;1 Timothy 3.
Submission of wives is declared in 1 Peter 3:1; Colossians
3:18; Ephesians 5:21-24; 1 Corinthians 14:34.
Separation from the world (such as sports/NFL click here,
ungodly tv and movies, carnal magazines and novels,
ungodly music etc.) is directed in Romans 12:2; 1 Peter
1:15-16, Matthew 5:48; Ephesians 2:10, 1 John 2:15. One
could also run these activities through Philippians 4:8 to

16. see if they are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good
report, virtuous, and praiseworthy.
Religious holidays such as Halloween, Easter, Christmas
(click here) are condemned in Deuteronomy 12:29-32,
Colossians 2:8, Jeremiah 10:1-5, John 4:24, Revelation
22:14-15, Psalm 119:128, Ezekiel 20:39, Deuteronomy
7:25
Adhering in obedience to scripture is not legalism, it is
simply obedience to God’s commands through His Word.
He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his
commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
(1 John 2:4)
For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith
without works is dead also. (James 2:26)
And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things
which I say? (Luke 6:46)
My little children, let us not love in word, neither in
tongue; but in deed and in truth.
(1 John 3:18)
And being made perfect, he became the author of

17. eternal salvation unto all them that obey
him (Hebrews 5:9)
Those who wish to contradict scripture are in grave danger
and in love; need to be warned.
