Jeff Neil, that crazy Armstrongite splinter group leader over at the Worldwide Web Church of God has to be of the most confused Armstrongites out there. He praises HWA, Rod Meredith and Joel Olsteen as men of God. Apparently Joel Olsteen is on par with Rod Meredith. I am sure Meredith will appreciate THAT comparison!
Neil is also another male in the church who thinks he knows all things about women and submission.
Women's Liberation Movement is one of Satan's greatest strokes
against the family, the true fabric of society. Men no longer rule
their homes. Women do. Even in some areas of God's Church. And far
too often now, whenever men in God's Church attempt to exercise their
God ordained authority, the women run to the ministers and the ministers
approve of them leaving their homes and taking their sons and daughters
with them. This is evil and is contrary to the Word of God which says:
"And to the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband!" (1 Corinthians 7:10).
I am not talking about cases where husbands are alcoholics/drug addicts
and wife-beaters, as that is a different matter altogether. But,
generally speaking, when women run and "weep" to the minister that their
husbands are too strict with them and always want them to obey them,
and the minister tells them if that's the case then they can leave them;
just what do you expect? If they were told instead, to go and submit
to their husbands in the Lord, they would no doubt find their husbands
becoming loving to them once again. Remember, it was God, not a bunch
of "male chauvinist pigs," who inspired the scriptures that women should
be in subjection to their own husbands, (I Peter 3:1 & Eph. 5:24).
