    The question is what is the more relevant issue of our current day and age here in 2024: is it closer to the ditch of sinful “feminism” or closer to the ditch of sinful “masculinity”?
    I think the obvious answer in today’s day and age is sinful feminism. So why does Doug Wilson seem to be fighting the dragons of yesteryear?

      "One of the most cowardly things ordinary people do is to shut their eyes to facts. - C.S. Lewis
      Doug is being a coward and that it is basically a crime to notice that Jews own or run most of the major porn companies. That is a fact!
      Consistency Test:
      Me: Islamic radicals throw the most gay people off of the roofs of buildings in the Middle East.
      Douglas Wilson: “……………”
      Me: Jews own and operate most of the major porn companies in the world.
      Douglas Wilson: “JEW HATER!”
      He literally just told us his thoughts pattern ultimately prioritizes how people perceive Jewish people over the truth. That is a fatal prioritization.
      If Doug does not publicly acknowledge, without a word salad before or aft, the fact that Jewish people run most of the porn industry in the world, he is lying.
      Because Doug is releasing a video to tell you why he won’t say it and why you are a bigot for doing so, he is a coward.

    So what about seed oils, and essential oils, and the 19th amendment?
    These are examples that were in the email message that went out. Also, in the discussion on the set of Mr Wilson's neighborhood, the tone of the conversation was related to the right wing of the conservative party without really discussing what that meant. I might be on the right wing of the conservative party because of some things that I have noticed. But I am not a racist and I think that Hitler was a bad guy and that globalism is bad that nations are good and that marriage between cultures is okay among christians.
    Having something about seed oils and essential oils and repealing the 19th amendment, which would be a good thing as reasons for behaving as an Abigail muddy's the waters and Waters down the point.

    I’m 37 with 6 kids. My wife and I both work and time is our most valuable resource. How do men my age have time to pastor a church, create content online, travel and debate while also leading their wives and raising their children in a half decent manner? I don’t know if the men arguing on this issue have the history, experience, time or resources to contend with Doug. It’s sorrowful to see this type of disagreement between men whom I have learned a great deal from. I think it wise, perhaps, for the younger men to open their ears and listen a bit longer before speaking. It sounds as though there is a quite a bit of misunderstanding. I don’t know all of the ins and outs of exactly what is being discussed here, but God has taught me to smell misunderstanding (intentional or otherwise) from miles away. It appears to be the case here.
    This video served as a great opportunity for me to further understand our nature as fallen man. I benefit greatly from this ministry and thank everyone involved. God bless.

      There's nothing submissive about doing the opposite of what your husband said and telling a warlord who thinks you're hot that your husband is a drunk idiot who should be ignored.

    I love how he can be so self-righteous when he knows very well that the pushback is coming because of the bizarre context in which this advice was given. This wasn't in the context of what a woman is do to when she is in an abusive situation. It was in some vague "purely hypothetical, asking for a friend" with some nebulous, (yet oddly specific), situation--"when the husband has gone too far right..." An odd snippet about "moving" and assertion that the daughter knows "more than one lady" in said vague situation. (Blink twice if your husband didn't sign the declaration.) What made it weirder still was that earlier in this awkward conversation was the assertion that it isn't culturally acceptable to ask another woman in Moscow "How are you doing really?" because the Wilsons can read hearts like God can and therefore know a woman would only ask a friend such a question if she was attempting to insert herself in the other woman's marriage and dig for gossip and denigrate the husband. Strange how this daughter should then know any private family problems and...suddenly it's okay to insert oneself and tell her to go to the elders...
    So... now a wife is to police her husband's politics and if he wants to move to....TN? UT? TX? She must appeal to the elders and pray to God they don't bungle things so badly her family becomes Twitter fodder. Should someone also remind the poor woman to check if her elders are in the habit of recording such struggle sessions? Let's ask White and Durbin about that one.

These controversies played out before the world just to have a one up on another is a blemish to what Christ died for. Has any stopped to consider Christ?
    Pastor Doug has been once again and not always misunderstood and it shows in how petty the responses are. Church, judgment starts with us. The Lord loves His own but He will not be mocked. He will bring the refiner's fire. Things like this should cause us to all bow down in shame leading to an Ezra style of repentance.

      Did it occur to you at any point while writing your comment or after writing it that Doug Wilson was arguing for the principle - that there are some conditions when a wife should not go along with her husband's lead - and not "noticing" specifically? Did you miss the part when he drew the comical (I hope) picture of a man naming a bunch of kittens after a bunch of Jews and then stomping on them as an example of the kind "noticing" he takes issue with?

I then walk away and give the silence treatment as recommended by Scripture (better to live on the roof than with a contentious woman)Then "things happen ".
      I don't do anything but react with a grin as her God tips over her house of cards and she apologizes. Sometimes of course it is me who's corrected by our Boss.

    The wife's submission is not conditional but is "as to the Lord" , that is he is to be Christ like , loving her as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her - that is the husband is to practice self sacrifice. Submission is the easy bit, the hard bit is being Christ like - husbands need to concentrate on that and leave their wives to look after the submission.

    As another comment points out; nowhere did Abigail contradict nor rebel against Nabal. He never forbade her to aid David and a wife had a rightful allotment. She merely went around Nabal. That said, there's obviously times a woman must flatly refuse. So wrong use of Scripture but correct point made.
    This is a common pattern with Doug. He gets a moral point dead center right. Then misses Scripture that supports it such "we must obey God rather than men" while misreading other passages.
    This is of course necessary to maintain a Reformed theology and postmillenialism. Gospel correct, good moral compass with defective hermeneutics.

      @@Mr_Gabbles We are all saved by a technicality. What else is substitutionary sacrifice and then imputation but a legal technicality? The only reason Justice and Mercy can kiss in Christ is because of several legal loopholes. Doug Wilson is not a very clear thinker from what I have heard over some time now. Nonetheless he is a godly man who gets not just the crucial points correct but many of the smaller ones also. Now back to the woman who was not comanded to obey Adam until the curse. Adam also did not own her until he named her because that's how it goes. Call it the correct meaning of "name it and claim it" which the prosperity creeps turn into a doctrine of demons.
      That technicality includes the fact that the woman did not TECHNICALLY sin in the garden. That is explicitly stated in 1 tim 2:11 A woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness. 12 But I do not allow a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet. 13 For it was Adam who was first [h]created, and then Eve. 14 And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman was [ thoroughly deceived, apatao ] deceived and [Literally: has come, has become ] became a wrongdoer. 15 But [k]women will be [l]preserved through [m]childbirth-if they continue in faith, love, and sanctity, with moderation. Nowhere is it written who told the woman, who was NOT yet Eve, not to eat of the fruit but we've a strong indication it was Adam as He ADDED to God's command "...neither shall you touch it." much as Pharisees with good intentions added to God's law. Much as Reformers keep adding whatever pieces of Moses suits them to the Law of Christ given in the newest Testament.
      Note, ALL creation fell because of Adam, NOT Eve. All Adam's descendants were then subject to original sin but...not the woman. So we are saved by the technicality that the woman BECAME a sinner though ignorance. As Paul makes abundantly clear in Romans, for God ignorance IS an excuse from the law (Acts 17:30)
      I have way more and none of it is from commentaries. So you know, it usually takes me a weak to go through a single verse and on Titus 1:12 I spent over 2 years.

    And this my friends is what makes Doug so slippery.
    With his words he says agreeable things like this where “the submission should never be absolute.”
    However, with his pastoral actions, he develops Nabals left and right and if the wives get out of line by complaining about any ungodliness, they are first asked if they’ve been as sexually open to their husbands as they ought to be, then blamed for their husbands sin bc it’s usually them who tempted him into it.
    This is because in Doug’s view, husbands have all the power and authority, but when things go wrong the women and the children bear all the responsibility.
    Doug is a snake. If you don’t believe me, look up what happened with Steven Sitler or Jim Nance for starters. After that? Happy worm-holing.

    For all Protestants who disagree with Pastor Wilson on this point (the point of husband’s authority being a limited authority under God). I want you to realize you have just condemned yourself as rebels against God’s Church. If a wife does not have the authority to obey God and resist a disobedient husband, under what guise of authority did Luther or any other reformer hope to appeal to, when they resisted the authority of the Church?
    Hebrews 13:17, “Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls.”
    I am a Presbyterian and not a RC or an EO member, but this is only possible because lawful authority at is best state is a derivative authority. Because it is derivative and not authority in and of itself, it is able to be resisted when said derivative authority acts as an authority unto itself. Understand that if you condemn a wife who resists the authority of her disobedient husband then the only logical progression is to condemn the reformation as well.
    Where does that leave you?

      He is advising wives who are being abused or treated like crap by her husband to seek pastoral help. He is advising blockheaded abusive men to get over themselves and stop treating their wives like property or worse slaves. He is trying to let the abused woman know that she doesn’t have to put up with that crap. The Bible says a woman should submit to her husband, but the man also has the responsibility to love her the way that Christ loved the church. Both verses found in the same portion of scripture but one is often more emphasized than the other. Ephesians 5:22-33. It was actually nice for me to hear a preacher that actually emphasizes the man’s role in the relationship for once, and not just the wives submit to your husband part.
