Lin,

CBMW is consistently pointing to “creation order” but has failed time and time again to provide one iota of proof that Adam was created to rule over Eve or that Eve was created to be under the rule of her husband.

Here we go again with creation order. Start with a wrong premise and end with heresy.

Amen!  This is what happens when we allow the doctrines of men to become established without a challenge.  They present their wrong premise as if it is a fact and then build a house upon sand.  In the end they have dishonored the Lord Jesus who bought them in order to lift themselves up as males who have a special unique spiritual calling.  We must fight the good fight of faith without wavering because Jesus is being deprived of his full equality in the Godhead.

I cannot thank you guys enough for making this DVD that is so clear and simple to follow…and backed up with nothing but the Word.

Thank you Lin for such wonderful words of praise.

Our goal was to present the biblical doctrine of the Trinity using only the Bible as our source.  While it is tempting to argue the Trinity by the creeds and the early Church Fathers, the Bible is the only reliable source.  We have already seen how Bruce Ware and other CBMW leaders have distorted the words of the church fathers and so our desire was to let the Bible speak for itself.  The absence of Old Testament scriptures that teach the eternal subordination of the Lord of Hosts but do teach in his amazing equality of essence and function defeats hands down CBMW’s reliance on using only New Testament scriptures that focus on the humanity of Jesus Christ.  Their silence on the Old Testament record of the Trinity is most telling and should be shouted from the housetops to sincere bible believers that CBMW and crew have given a distorted partial picture of the Trinity while claiming to present a clear eternal picture of Jesus.  Their arguments follow the pattern of the cults and after seeing the distortions of Jesus in the cults since the 1980’s (for me) and since the 1970’s (for Lorri) we could hardly hold back our dismay and our determination to expose these false views that have entered the church that belongs to Jesus.

I was also a bit surprised to see that Ware is using 1 Corin 11 as his foundation for the eternal subordination of Jesus Christ. Once again, we see Kephale being interpreted as meaning ’ruler and authority’ when it does not mean that at all. Starting with presuppositions that are not true and ending up with Jesus as eternally subordinated.

Ware has ripped scripture from its context and he has done this before thousands of pastors who should know better but who have kept silent.  We are guilty of idolizing men and refusing to call them to account because they are popular and speak with authority.  Those who should be protecting the flock are letting false teaching in without lifting a finger to stop it.  We trust that our efforts in this DVD set will awaken godly pastors who have been deceived into thinking that the earthly subordination of Christ is an eternal truth. Wake up oh men of God and take the Word of God as a sword of the Spirit to fight for truth.  Once Jesus is allowed to be placed in an unequal position of unequal authority and unequal honor, every other essential doctrine of the church is ripe to be distorted and destroyed.  If pastors will not stand up for Jesus, the sheep are going to go around the pastors.
