“I am appalled at the silence of shepherds who are not speaking out.”
“Everything is about male leadership and male superiority even when the wife needs help, but it is not so when God helps us. It totally mind boggles me to think that people swallow this kind of stuff without an understanding how God is being dethroned and the male is elevated in the process of this false doctrine.”

It’s about power and authority being kept in the hands of men. But when this happens even the men find themselves in precarious positions because in a hierarchy the one above you can take away your spot below him and make you start at the bottom again. Thus, when one finds a spot that they can move in, they must always be sure to give enough deference and homage (obeisance) to the one above to keep them happy with them.

The hierarchist picture of the obeisance of Christ to God forgets that God the father gives God the Son the SAME deference, honor and respect. It is NOT one way as they want it to be. Thus they never talk about how God/Eloheim or God/Father applauds the power and authority of the Son. And of course the Holy Spirit is pretty much left out of this picture. It’s all about the Father and Son. One would think that God is either only the Father with His side kick Son or that God is only two persons instead of three. The Holy Spirit just doesn’t have a place in their efforts to bind all power and authority to the Father. This may be because according to Scripture from Genesis to Christ, it is the Holy Spirit that carries power as His primary job.
