The more I come across this men/women issue in the spiritual realm, the more I realized how I, as a man, should live biblically and be a role model to my wife and kids so that this simple biblical men and women role doesn't confuse my next generation and no twist and turn can fool my future generations. Cultures may change but God's words won't change. As a man and a father, I always try to encourage other men to get back to their manhood role which was designed by God which is the head of men is Christ, not to hind under women otherwise we, the men, will end up confusing our women and that's the perfect weak spot the Satan is waiting for.

This is the first time I've heard a pastor explain the fall of mankind without blaming the woman, or saying women are more prone to temptation and sin than men. Very well explained. God bless

[manlydaily]

this message turned my world upside down, I don't like it but I can not argue against it. David Guzik presented scripture and kept his own opinions out of it as best I can tell. This is a message that has to be digested and thought about, It goes against the culture and my personal feelings. But God is God and this is his world not mine

[janeecejjf]

This video certainly brought out the naysayers! People rejecting scripture and attacking the messenger.
Thank you for not cowering to society and for continuing to teach the Word of God as it is.

[jamesrogers]

As a gospel preacher, i really appreciated your approach, your simplicity in dealing with this section of scripture.

[priscila]

Thank you, Pastor Guzik, for a very thorough explanation of these scriptures, as they are written. You are clearly led by the Holy Spirit. Glory to God!

[FragenUndGlauben]

I think this is one of the best and objective talks on this subject I ever heard.

[thewordforlife]

Wow! This is the best biblical explanation and application I've ever listened to on this problematically and confusingly misunderstood passage.

[joanallennyakato]

For sure this was really good, I am blessed. I repent where i exercised authority over male authority in the Church...i ask God to help me be submissive to the male authority in the Church and in my marital home when the time comes in Jesus' Name

[kathymarie]

Thank you for your honest and godly exposition of the word. I was recently told i dont love Jesus and i was a heretc. Some guy made a comment on a video and i said he was wrong and he said i needed to be quiet because no woman should have authority over him yours is the best teaching i have heard so far on this topic. Ty i use your commentary all the time on blue letter bible.

[sherrykoziolhlad]

Explanation perfect. God has Gracefully Blessed you Pastor

[nancygrubaugh]

I believe this was the best I ever heard on wemen having authority 0ver men as pastors .🙏

[jubeidahfortuin]

Amen! This is what the Lord has ministered to my husband and myself and we just fully stand on His Word, the only Truth! We have to remain in His Word, regardless of what is happening in the world and in the church!

[carlettemoser]

I would have loved to hear Corrie Ten Boom speak; it would have been the cherry on the top of my day !

[svytps]

Thank you for this excellent exegesis of God’s Word … Well done!

[CampbellBond]

One of the very best on this topic. Respect to you

[krystallynnart]

Thank you for this teaching! You are very easy to follow and come across very respectful and kind.

[igbodiegweizuogu]

The word of God is very clear. Its either you receive it or not. Unforfortunately in today's church, the opposite seems the case. However, Blessed are those who hear the word of God and obey it. ❤

[robertagabor]

I expect that when Corrie Ten Boom spoke, she was not teaching or preaching but relating her experience in the second world war and how God was with them and helped them get through an awful time. She gave testimony to God, s faithfulness to them during that time. She was not teaching, she was telling, or relating her own experience.

[Kathleen]

It is so sad that even people in the Church are in such rebellion that this teaching has to be approached with kid gloves. Oh how society has been so disrupted by modern philosophical, psychology and yes humanistic thought. Let's pray that we as the church are in complete submission to our Father God and His laws and ordinances.
