I’m at a loss of words on this one, so I’ll let the so-called “pastor” explain.
His rant on the roles of men and women really got interesting somewhere around the 51 minute mark in his sermon, where he went out of his way to explain that men are not better than women. But after making that point, Pastor Steven Anderson of the Faithful Word Baptist Church in Tempe, Arizona explained that he is a dictator in his home and that his wife is happy to play the submissive role. She “was born to be submissive and subject to me,” he said.
Here’s the transcript and the video is below.
When it comes to authority, there is no equality. You say, “How does your home run?” A dictatorship. Any questions? It’s a monarchy, okay? Mono. One boss. Okay? That’s how my home is run. That’s how every biblical home is run, by the way, okay? And you say, “Oh, your wife must hate you!” No, women love that. Because they were born to fill that role. Just like I was born to be the husband and the leader, my wife was born to be the wife and to be submissive and subject to me. And she’s gonna be most happier doing what God created her to do, just like I’m going to be most happy doing what God created me to do!
And, you know, you say, “Well, that’s not true, because I talk to all these women that are just, you know, they just want to be a feminist and stuff…” You know what? Here’s what I’ve found over the years: The women who are screaming the loudest that they want to be a feminist and that they don’t want a man telling them what to do, on the inside, are really screaming the loudest, please tell me what to do. Please put me in my place. And, you know what? If you don’t believe that? You’re just ignorant. It’s that simple.
And, yeah, I’m sure that there are some reprobate lesbians out there that have a different view. But let me tell you something: A normal woman, on the inside, wants to follow a leader. She wants to follow a husband. She wants a man there that she can look up to, not look down on…
Any woman who chooses to be submissive to this simpleton needs a mental examination. It is amazing to me how so many "Christian" leaders can so subvert what God really said and then tell other people thhave to do what he says. Does he think he is God? If he were really submissive t0 God in the first place he could never make those kind of statements. Far too many Americans are turning away from religion because of these charlatans who claim to speak fior God but rfeally only speak for themselves. He can't blame God because he is an idiot. IF you read the Bible carefullyk you will find that a lot fo people claiming the name of God will never seen heaven. Read the part where God asks people certain questions at the judgement mainly about feeding the hungry, taking care of the sick, helping the needy, etc. There are no questions about how many women did you make submissive to you nor how much money did you give to God nor any questions about your political status.
He (s)he done got the beard to prove it.
