Q: Some feminists say that there is no distinction to be made between male and female. Is this what you believe?<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A: One of the biggest deceptions that Satan has brought into the women’s issue is that equality = sameness. That is not what we believe or teach. You may have noticed in the last section of WIM that I say that equality does not mean unisex<\/u>. Women are different than men and that is the way that God planned it. Woman was created to meet a man’s need<\/u>. Men need women because women are different than men and were made to complement him and to complete him. A man and a woman together in marriage are a union of two equals but not<\/u> a union of two of the exact same things. Women think differently, react differently and have different emotional needs. Satan has confused matters by bringing ungodly women into the secular women’s movement who not only have hijacked that movement and taken it onto a pathway of evil but who usurp God’s authority in creation and teach that men and women are the same. By their ungodly and unnatural teaching,they uphold the sinful position of those who want to propagate same-sex unions. Again the lie of the devil is that equality = sameness.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
