That's great, and I'm glad that works out for you guys. We have something similar going on here with our homeschool family. There is a caveat though. Now this may be just in regards to the circles I move in of course, but here it is: I have never seen this strength of manhood manifest in a situation where the man's ancestral background is Muslim, Confucian or Dharmic, but he tries to lead the family as a Christian and a Westerner. All too often these men are incurable people pleasers trying to fit in. I have seen it in non-Muslim ancestry men that turn to Islam though, where that embrace helps them be more rooted in that ancestry (like I became more Chinese by doing so for eg). This isn't about saying "Islam is best" or anything so crude and sectarian. It is about saying loyalty to roots might be vital for this masculinity to show up. Salaam.

Women only have male role models to follow. Motherhood, feeding families, keeping families healthy and clean -- all need to be recognized as *the* most important work. Support of single mothers and other "widows" by the community, as proscribed by the church, not by the state. Do not shame single mothers and women will not abort. Etc. When women are fully supported by men, there will be no competition with men. The crisis for women is just as bad as it is for men currently and is about to get much worse, as rates of single motherhood increase and disdain for strong women and equality, ie feminism, becomes the norm in conservative circles. We predict a vast increase in the percentage of educated working women, while men are dropping out of the workforce and marraige.

Yeah there aren't a lot of women in these spaces addressing such issues, and I think it's because of the doctrine of feminism that makes any discussion on "femininity" very difficult to take place. I highly recommend Edith Stein's Essays on Women. She was a philosopher, a highly educated Jewish woman, who converted to catholicism and became a nun and was later killed in a concentration camp. She advocates for women to follow the Mother of God, Mary, who in our tradition is often portrayed as stepping on the head of Satan. A strong woman of virtue, but is so humble that she said to God without question "let it be done to me according to Your will". I also want to add that we have a crisis of religious vocations in the Church, and we need our spiritual mothers to guide us women.

She didn't kiss the Bible because she was wearing lipstick. She told this story with glee and a hint of pride as if it was a significant boon for Christianity and a huge step forward.

It has lost its primary purpose. The masculine part is the meaning, the feminine is the matter, so the right pattern is the Meaning organizing the Matter into a kind of unity, and the Matter simultaneously giving itself up to fill the “blueprints” of Meaning. So when you ask the question “what matters?”, it is like the earth (matter) calling up to the heavens for organization into a unity, asking for blueprints essentially. But if you ask the same question and the earth answers “matter matters” it becomes a constant cycle of asking and getting a (technically) meaningless answer. i.e. “What matters?” “Matter matters” “What’s matter?” “Matter” It just collapses in on itself This is how I understand it so far, but anyone feel free to correct me

Watching modernity's effect on my people's (Chinese), as manifest in my own parents, this is a two way street. Absent tethering to the One that is the Source of the dualities, men can only protect if women nourish, even as women are too anxious and self absorbed to nourish if men do not step up to protection and guardianship. At least for my people's, this mutual relationship depended on loyalty to the roots of our own traditions. There might be an approach to Christianity that enhances rather than attempts to replace that, but it is not the common one as far as I have seen. Hence Asian Christian men as incurable fawning people (and wife) pleasers is much more common in the West than the same as able protectors.

On the topic of the male priesthood, from what I understood universally is that the feminine receives while the masculines gives. The soul is feminine in relation to God because He gives us His Spirit which we receive. The priest is the administer of the sacraments, which are the physical (material) manifestations of God's invisible (spiritual) grace. Even more so, the priest gives us the Blessed Sacrament. Thus the priesthood is inherently masculine because the priest stands in the figure of Christ, and gives us the Body and Blood of Christ in the eucharist.

Excellent conversation! Thank you! The equivocation of egalitarianism is now decades old and the effects evident. Moving to Canada I could not make a circle of male friends in the spirit of brotherhood if not under the suspicion of being homosexual. Individualism and egalitarianism have set the cultural environment for the proliferation of genders and caricatures of human beings. A reference to the community has been lost in the process and petty consumerism has become a self-identifier. In fact, there're so many choices that the undermining of the psychological wellbeing of boys and girls only add to their confusion towards seeing the "caricatures" of themselves as valid options. Good role models are scarce. This not only is a danger for the soul but for society. It is evident to me that at least for four generations a matriarchy has been developed to a point where masculine fatherly figure are almost non-existent. For me, "machismo" is one of the pieces of evidence by which the current matriarchy has created its parasitical expression in the absence of masculine men.

Feminism managed to capture women and the modern age because of the excesses of toxic patriarchy so I'm glad to see someone acknowledging that if you address them and give them the guidance to be positive masculine men the women will follow. I do feel that we should have male exclusive spaces and female exclusive spaces but when dealing with issues that affect both genders mixed spaces are still required. I do disagree with the idea that we cannot have male priests, we should be able to create a role for leading the ceremonies and rituals that doesn't usurp the male role and can also bring the balance symbolism, because otherwise women with the gift of leadership will still not join into the churches and will continue to successfully undermine religion that is a net loss that will not solve the problem. But that is a problem that will take a while to sort out once we agree we cannot shun women with those gifts from the hierarchy. Baby steps.

I can see the female priests are a problem but I don't understand how they lead to revolutionary thinking. Is it because the very act of instituting female priests is revolutionary? Was this not also the case with abolition of slavery? I've been lied to so much by the world so maybe that was a bad thing too.

Father Hans’ ministry is such a wonderful blessing and models Discipleship so well. That said, when they delved into cultural observations they pretty quickly went from beautiful church theological foundations to ungrounded speculation. As an example, they asserted the idea that extreme gender role representations were the result of “parasitic” responses to feminist attempts to break down gender roles?!? It seems far more likely that the main voice of feminist countering, that of the American church, overreacted in pushing extreme views that real men grunt and watch football while their wives are barefoot on the kitchen… Unfortunately, that lacks a level of humility of seeing how your views taken too far are the harm you are critiquing in the world. It’s not so simple as just blaming everything that you dislike in the world on some nameless “other“, rather than on your own shortcomings.

24:10 God is truth. Man is made in the image of God (not woman). Man is considered the bride of Christ. Hence, in relation to God, man's masculinity is considered feminine (bride) as much as women is feminine on earth compared to man.

"Apologetics" is a key problem. Saying "please" when not in a state of imploring, saying "sorry" when not sincere in repentance, and "thanks" when not in gratitude, are all signs of people pleasing or fawning. This is an impediment for owning ones essence in the West and Westernised, for men and women. Perfectionism and repressed rage/vengeance seem to go hand in hand with this fawning. A peculiarly Western lineage problem, of fawning Dr Jekyll and out of control tyrannical Mr Hyde, spread everywhere now to varying degrees since colonialism.

My least favorite topic in this corner, which isn't to say it's not important, but I just see it consistently framed badly: which is to say not framed by looking at Christ, and not understanding the relationship between identity and difference in a Christological way. I will give it a listen and see how Johnathan does.

Ehh I think we need more nuance than that to be honest... We can't fit everyone in the same box no matter how proud we are at the attempt. Some people want things that others don't. Traits, tastes, and attractions being common does not make them objective requirements for everyone.

I say as a Protestant that Jesus came to died to offer himself as a sacrifice for the wrath of God against sin and to defeat Satan, I love he said that because it’s right in the gospels Jesus says “I saw Satan fall like lightning .” Also the end time theology that took over after the Civil War (premillennialism) confused the church on a massive scale. They see the world as waiting for Revelation to happen which is completely incorrect. But because of this they don’t see Satan as defeated and the Kingdom of God being the rock taking over the earth (Psalms 2 )
@JamecBond Жыл бұрын
Premillennialism is the only thing that makes sense, sorry to say, but there has not been a 1000 year reign of Jesus, we are waiting for revelations, when did it occur exactly? Satan is defeated? Buddy have you been paying attention? You call this defeated? How about 1/3 of the earth dying? When did that happen? There is absolutely nothing to suggest postmillennialism/amillennialism is anything other than nonsense. I'd even argue infact your comment alone suggest that Satan isn't defeated as your comment can be seen only as deception. It's true that we've already won, thanks to Jesus, but that is NOT the same thing as Satan being defeated.

Very important aspects indeed, but when they arrive at the freakishness of current culture, I'd say: "First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye." I wished they would familarize with the work of David Deida, perhaps also Ken Wilber since this conversation is completely missing the notion that what is needed is not to restore the old structure (what Jacobse hopes for), but a development/syntheses to a higher order.

It's incredible how vague "being a man" is here. I take Augustine, Gregory the Theologian, and Basil the Great as my models. Aquinas and Anselm, too. If the ordinary American viewer of this interview saw any of these men, they would be sure to call them effeminate. The problem with these sorts of videos from people like Pageu and Peterson is that a certain western European vision of masculinity sneaks in, one that would call the Church Fathers or men in other periods "effeminate." The definition of what a man here is is so general that it applies to all human beings. Defining ones identity and purpose is NOT "masculinity." If it is, then all people need to be masculine. It's gross to suggest this is masculinity.
