It's Good To Be A Man Pt 1 / Douglas Wilson

“I want to be the cool kind of Christian.” The kind that goes to hell...classic.

It's so reassuring to know that the reason I always feel out of kilter with the world is because I'm being fit for another.

[@donnadeau7619]

You 'feel out of kilter withe world' precisely because you believe in fantasy over reality.

[@donnadeau7619]

To make sure people's reasons and expectations are proportional to reality. What's your motive?

I said as much too. Told Him I wanted to be alone and live far away from people. Lo and behold He puts me in the biggest most crowded church in my town.

Thank you for leading

If anyone could help me out that would be amazing - I’m in the UK and in need of a church with a real backbone, anyone know anywhere that Pastor Doug has been for conferences etc or is friends with over here that align theologically and would be a good place to become a member of?

Its good to lay your life down like Christ did for the church.

[@zapazap]

Remember Friends: The Bible describing a practice does not, it itself, make that practice required or forbidden. It _might_ are most show that the practice is lawful. Some practices of naming described in the Bible appear to me to be of the latter category.

He didn't explain anything on why it's good to be a man. Maybe i didn't understand the message. I got lost when he changed the whole topic to the Gospel of Jesus.

Regarding the wife taking the husband's name, that is a cultural thing, not a Biblical thing. In Hispanic countries, in both Christian and non-Christian marriages, the wife does not take her husband's name when they marry.

[@CanonPress]

It's a Hebraic / Biblical thing: dougwils.com/books-and-culture/s7-engaging-the-culture/a-two-bucket-woman.html

@@CanonPress -- Weak argument (and I say that as one who agrees with the teaching that a wife ought to submit to her husband).

[@CanonPress]

@@gregb6469 You haven't engaged with the argument in either of your comments. Am I to believe you don't have one?

[@gregb6469]

@@CanonPress -- I'm not engaged in an argument. Why are you? All I did was point out that the custom of the wife taking her husband's name upon marraige is a cultural phenomenon, not a Biblical commandment, as evidenced by the fact that one of the planet's major cultural blocks (and one that is it least nominally Christian) does not practice it. The proof text you used to justify the practice is weak, in that it does not speak to the wife changing her name; such a thing must be implied/read into the passage. It is quite possible for a wife to be Biblically submissive to her husband, yet not take his name. But I would say that in a culture where the name change is the custom, a woman refusing to take her husband's name may well be a sign of rebellion on her part.

Greg B I’m Hispanic, live 15 minutes from Mexico and I will agree with you that culturally women in Latin countries don’t take their husband’s name, they add it to the end of their current name. But who wants to model Latin countries anyways lol
