Making Christian men masculine, one vid at a time 😎🤜🤛😎

[@randyscottagelife]

Men already rose up in the past. It didn't work out. We blew it. We abused the power we had and still do. We tried to dominate others and abused others. Everyone wants control now to avoid being abused. Subsequently, women, African American people, gay people, etc. rose to positions of power to create balance. Change is, of course, difficult, but we men brought it on ourselves. There's no going back. We have what we have. Lastly, masculine men aren't in church because they are here on this platform showing off their muscles for clicks and views. Masculinity is subjective. There's always another man who is taller, has bigger muscles, a deeper voice, and who is stronger than another man. There are more pressing problems in the world besides masculinity.

What is masculine about being on your knees calling someone dad to forgive you of your sins? I'm not saying don't do that. I'm saying it's stupid ascribing this as a masculine action Because women do the exact same thing

[@VroomNDoom2602]

@@coffeebux It's masculine because someone who does this understands the truth and is doing what is right. We've rebelled against God, Whom is perfect, holy, and infinite in every way. The cost of this rebellion is higher than anyone could ever pay for on this earth. The exception is Jesus, God's Son, Whom is also God Himself, suffered and died to pay that price for us. Here's another way I might explain it. James 2:20-24 talks about Abraham being saved by what he did. When I heard that, I said, "But no, he was saved by his trust in God." I am right to say this, but imagine if Abraham never took Isaac up on the mountain to kill him. He would have proven that he had no faith. If you don't ask the Father for forgiveness, then you don't trust Him at His word. If you don't do it, you are not the man of God you could be and, therefore, lacking in masculinity. Also, real men are humble and face problems head on.

[@jocelynharris-fx8ho]

As a Christian woman who has attended the same church for almost 30 years, allow me to throw in my 2 cents. It's not that there aren't any marriageable people in the church, the problem is that worldly standards are used to select a mate instead of Godly standards. In 1Samuel chapter 16 verse 7 it states: " man looks on the outward appearance but the Lord looks at the heart". Too many base their decision on how someone looks and they don't pay enough attention to Godly character, faithfulness, wisdom, emotional maturity and integrity. There are great people in the church, great Godly people but do they get overlooked because they were married before ? Some people are divorced but not by choice; perhaps a spouse left them. Do they have a health issue like dialysis, or are they physically disabled ? Many people with disabilities are still capable of traveling, being active and leading a full life within their limitations. Are they a different race than what you prefer ? Sometimes I hear women say that men are intimidated by them because they have a college education, or are more accomplished than the men. Discounting someone because of these factors, is a mistake. No one was perfect except Jesus and the reason why many can't find a spouse, is because they lack discernment. Many people in the Bible were just as flawed as we are, but love starts in the heart. The person that you may have overlooked, or dismissed, might have been the one that the LORD chose for you. They may not look like a model but if they love the LORD and love you unconditionally there is nothing better. Looks fade over time but TRUE love, devotion and commitment last a lifetime.

This is the same rhetoric that women lie with that “all that matters is what is on the inside” when even Scriptures show this to be a lie amongst women for the most part (often speaking of how women would chase the comeliest and attractive of men with fervor). What criteria is a large portion of you failing at from the start? To be chaste, to be a virgin. Not to mention ever since the gun was put in your kind’s hands metaphorically to be held against men majority of you pull the trigger and divorce those you made a fickle vow to not separate under unearned means (abuse or infidelity). The grand majority of you act like the world and shame men when not catering to your whims saying that if we refuse to comfort or protect you as a populace we are just scum when the Lord made it known that our duty is to our family, friends, and spouse not to all of you. Be silent and speak no more on this matter for this is the reason why we have left. Yes they should be overlooked for being divorced outside of those two things we mentioned for it shows your unfaithfulness. How shall we in good conscience put ourselves at risk of the same unfaithfulness. You who taint the church with your swell words are what make me find the modern church sickening and unattractive to a good berean as myself and those I fellowship with outside said buildings of Jezebel appeasers.

I have a few sisters that are aware of such eat tickling cravings of women that have been born in the past 50- 60 years and in them I rejoice said sobriety and understanding of which we speak. We are not intimidated by any of you. We are disgusted repulsed and annoyed that you as a general kind have skirt your responsibility as women. Claim misogyny all you wish but everything I speak is truth and Biblical. The way you all try to have authority and instruct men on how we shall be is exactly what is wrong with this western society and inside majority of churches.

One of the problems with why you don’t see masculine men in church is that… PEOPLE TREAT MASCULINITY LIKES ITS FULLY SUBJECTIVE. If you treat it like it’s fully subjective, anyone can change the definition for their own benefit. That’s where you have pastors saying that there’s a difference between masculinity and godly masculinity as if masculinity does not already come from God. Then you will have…”a masculine man is..(insert something that benefits women only)” from those pastors.

One of the hardest and therefore most masculine things to do, especially today is practicing kindness and compassion, being affable and approachable and to smile. It’s a lot easier and therefore effeminate to hate and resent and look down on others and treat them like potted plants all with frowns faces which is all I have experienced from young people both inside and outside of church! Anger is addictive, like most pleasures, it give us dopamine kicks, the hallmarks of effeminacy, at least St. Thomas Aquinas’ definition of such. I rarely see the few young people at church smile or practice kindness or is approachable! I am 38 and suffer from depression and anxiety myself but at least I try to smile and wave to people at church. I notice most older people who had seen a lot, a lot worse stuff than most of us young people have, smile and wave a lot, including at me and I do the same back. Yet I am hardly noticed by my same age peers! I don’t know all of this has anything to do with masculinity vs effeminacy but definitely the damn narcissism among young people is definitely getting out of hand and we as a church need to work on that!

It also happened in the Catholic Church and recently the Catholic Church has finally shaking off all the liberalism and I started become conservative again.

I wish these guys would ask God for forgiveness and become the Godly leaders, husbands and fathers that this world so badly needs. I'm not excusing the woman who seek out non-believing men because the Bible says not to be unequally yoked (tied together) with unbelievers. I'm simply stating what I've seen and heard.

Instead of submitting to the accountability system he put in place, he resigned and went to start a new church, this time without an accountability system.

Nah man, it's this simple: Just be a man. Don't whine, don't worry about the future of the world, don't even worry about masculinity. Just be a man, don't be a girl. Church is not a place where men feel unwelcome, just talk to people, be social, spread love, be strong, and man up.

Something tells me this is more a problem in evangelical churches than Lutheran churches like mine. I felt very welcomed and encouraged as a young man in an ELCA congregation (I know many of you think it’s all extremely progressive, it’s not exactly so). The services are centered around confessing our sins, reciting the Creeds, singing hymns, and hearing the word of God (Scripture and faithful preaching) and then receiving Gods body and Blood freely given to us on the sacrificial altar that is the cross. We are called as men to take up the sword for Gods kingdom to conquest evil.

cool cool story little buddy so if you remove porn will u be prepared to reorganize society back to the 50's so women can keep up with their men's sex drives and are constantly knocked up if your not prepared to do that then you have no argument little buddy prostitution existed even before women destroyed the gender dynamic

[@OneWingedShark]

I have to somewhat disagree with the analysis: there's huge gaps, namely the Boomer and GenX generations. That's *two* post World Wat II generations, and when the men came back that would also be the preachers and chaplains that went overseas. This isn't to say there's no link, but it *is* to say that there's missing links from _there_ to _here_ which are not accounted for and, those older men would *also* know how to transmit masculinity to those boys/young-men that remained behind; so even that reveals some heavy weaknesses in the analysis. *TL;DR* - Blaming WWII only is far too superficial.

[@BigJFindAWay]

True. Especially because the problems were already there with the Silent Generation which were alive during the war but too young to serve or even know what’s going on.

[@ronaldanderson3698]

We were told to be soft not meek. Had our exemplar depicted as a fragile pretty boy instead of a strong man who shapes wood without power tools. They wanted men to be weak so they lied especially to Christian men

[@BraydenSteckler]

It’s the facts bro

[@trueblueclue]

Meekness means controlling your temper and not flying off the handle. To meek is to have emotional discipline but be a pushover. You've been lied to brother please look into the meaning of that word as it pertains to the Bible

Not in the modern protestant churches that's for sure. Definitely in the Lutheran or Calvinists ones though

[@terrencesala5255]

I do Bible Study at home. If your church doesn't go through the Bible chapter by chapter, verse by verse, your wasting your time. Why be there?

[@MogulFarmer]

I attend Mark's church and watch his YT videos regularly. I went home to Colorado this summer and there was no masculinity in the church and the sermons. The church music was so feminine. The pastor and the church leaders are from, wait for it, Texas. It was a huge let down. Jesus was a tradesman. He left the temple, made of whip of cords, then returned to the temple and overturned the tables of the money changers and drove out the animals from the temple. That is not a feminine man. Christianity is meant to challenge us to repent and do the work and focus on being reborn. That's hard work and requires strong messages and strong leaders.

[@BraydenSteckler]

I couldn’t agree more, bro. We need to make Christian men masculine again, for God’s glory!

[@MogulFarmer]

@@BraydenSteckler Thank you for your video, btw. The church needs to be reclaimed by Godly masculine men & you are helping us do that! When I was a kid I always thought Jesus was a weak soft man. Then I became a believer and came to realize he was so strong. Jesus shows us how to also love with strength, courage, & perseverance. And also how to stand our ground when it comes to our Christian beliefs and how to stand strong when we are mocked or criticized. There is a lot of room for men in Christianity. Men will be drawn to the church if we can get the real message out into our communities. After two years of being immersed in my faith, almost daily, I've never felt stronger mentally and physically (lost 6 inches off my waste too) and more at peace and experienced more joy!

[@connorohare229]

Stoicism helped me transition back to Christ

[@StudSnob]

Its an oxymoron. By definition a good christian guy who waits until marriage can not be masculine.

Sermons are optional. If your form of "worship" could not exist without a sermon; it's not worship. Its a TED Talk about God. When you denegrate "worship" to merely X many minutes of talking about God, you've already lost. It's only a matter of time before the TED Talk gets off subject.

[@EriPages]

Dude. Its simple. Feminism.

[@ffic4life]

If your definition of masculinity is tied to suppressing female presence then your message and your issue is not centered on God, it’s on self and your own misgivings. Church is not a place to find YOUR personal preference of representation in the people themselves. It’s to get closer to God and fellowship with fellow Christians for a period of time while learning more about Christ. This is not a gender issue, this is a heart issue. And I pray your heart will be softened so that God can work in your life and begin to show you His truth.

[@garrettstephens91]

Oh yeah, i totally agree with you, but I am Catholic, so I'm a little biased, haha. I really have nothing to compare us to.

Perhaps. But most Catholics believe in works salvation, so it does not help to be masculine if your destination is eternal fire because of works trusting.

[@Mason_88]

@@GiftofGod289 Wrong. Catholic doctrine is true faith leads to good works. If you don't have good works your faith is either false or weak. Read the book of James.
