Feminine Movement

Dr. Couch, what is your view about "liberated" Evangelical women who buy into the Feminine Movement? ANSWER:  It is better to get the opinion of a well-educated Christian woman who knows her Bible, like Dr. Lacy Couch. She can't stand the fema-Nazis that are influenced by the culture. We find it funny that they want to appear so liberated but they actually are not. They go along with the crowd and throw the Bible to the wind.    It's like the kids today who want to be so liberated and uninhibited but again, they are not. They do what the crowd dictates and wear what everyone else is wearing.    Dr. Lacy Couch points out that the unsaved women, and the fema-Nazi evangelical women, are really ignorant of Scripture. They mix up the difference between VALUE and ROLES. Men and women  are loved equally by the Lord; they have the same VALUE before Him. But their ROLES are entirely different. And the dumb fema-Nazis can't seem to get that. They actually want to do what the guys do. So far it is 100% of men I talk to in the military who make it clear that the women in the military who try to be like the guys just can't make it! Behind their backs the guys just laugh. They put the gals in the motor pool to change truck tires, which they can't. So they give them the easier jobs and the gals think they are equal but again, they are not! The men just laugh behind their backs.    Statistics and biological facts make the difference. Men have 50% stronger upper-body strength, have 50% more stamina, and can run on the average 50% longer than the little girls. That's facts!     Each sex has its own ROLES. And this is the perfect plan of God. He knew what He was doing! We have concluded that the women just like to be in the company of the men. That's why they want to push the feminist agenda. Dr. Lacy Couch has had many of this kind in counseling and finds that they really have been brainwashed (but they don't think they have been!).    The prophet Isaiah blasts the feminist movement when he writes about what the tribulation will be like. He says "O My people! Their oppressors are children, and women [will] rule over them. O My people! Those who guide you lead you astray" (Isa. 3:12), and, "Seven women will take hold of one man in that day, saying, 'We will eat our own bread and wear our own clothes, only let us be called by your name, takeaway our reproach'" (4:1).    By the way, there are women today who want to keep their maiden names but this last verse points out that the women have always wanted to take the names of their husbands, which has always been done until recently when the fema-Nazis took over!    If you want some books that will really open your eyes, I suggest the classic on the subject, "Evangelical Feminism & Biblical Truth" by Wayne Grudem (Multnomah) and a fully researched volume entitled "Co-Ed Combat" by Kingsley Browne (Sentinel). The book is endorsed by Dr. David Buss, professor of psychology, University of Texas. One endorsement read: "Praise for Kingsley Browne's Biology at Work" volume!    On the issue of the women as Pilot-esses Browne points out "on flying, the highly differentiated sexes, one can only conclude that the temperamental difference between the average fighter pilot and the average women is huge!"    Thanks for asking.    Dr. Mal Couch (10/10)

War Concerning the Teaching of Dispensationlism

Dr. Couch, there seems to a war brewing over the teaching of prophecy among Evangelicals, especially concerning the teaching of dispensationlism. The argument is that we dispensationalists are overdoing it. How do we answer? ANSWER:  The majority of verses in the Bible have to do with prophecy, prophecy already fulfilled and more to be filled in the future. But we are in good biblical company! The Bible gives us the encouragement to teach about end time events. For example:    Paul commended the Thessalonians as to how they were "serving a living and true God, and were waiting for His Son from heaven" (1 Thess. 1:9-10).    About the return of the Lord in the rapture of the church, Paul says he does not want the church "to be uninformed, ignorant (without hope) about the coming of the Lord" (4:13).    Paul reminded the Thessalonians that when he had been with them previously, he taught them about the coming of the Anti-Christ (2 Thess. 2:5).    He says in 2 Timothy 3:1 "But realize (know) this, that in the last days difficult times will come."    The apostle told Titus that he should be "looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus" (Titus 2:13).    The opponents against biblical prophecy are wrong; we are right! I could go on and on with many more verses of Scripture. The passages above are just the start of what Paul says about the importance of eschatology! Don't let them fool you! Study your Bible; this is what the opposition does not want you to do!    Thanks for asking.    Dr. Mal Couch (Oct., 09)

What is the Difference Between a Christian Fundamentalist and an Evangelical?

Dr. Couch, what is the difference between a Christian fundamentalist and an evangelical? 

 

    ANSWER: The term "evangelical" began to be used in the 1940s to describe Christians who believed in the basics of the faith and practiced giving out the gospel, i.e., "evangelism." While some may disagree with my answer, I believe there is no difference except in the area of temperament. By this I mean that there can be some who claim to be "fundamentalists" who are very, very narrow and legalistic in living out their Christian walk. 

    I generally call myself an evangelical. I hold to all of the "fundamentals" of the faith, but I am not a "fighting fundy" who is all stressed out about dress, the KJV Bible only view, and other pretty narrow and uneducated issues. The news media uses the word "fundamentalists" as if we are religious Nazis who would enslave everyone to our views. This is of course a smear tactic to wrongly label what we believe. We are vitally concerned about social and personal morality, as all Christians were some generations back. Christianity influenced the culture and Christian morality was in place in the society. 

    Generally too, those who pride themselves on being called fundamental pretty much hold to an isolationist position. We should be "separate" spiritually from the world but not "isolate" from the society. Christ ate and drank with Publicans (crooked tax-collectors) and sinners (prostitutes) and banqueted with them for days, reclining on couches conversing about spiritual matters. 

    A fundamentalist often believes that the only church is the local church and that one must be baptized in that church alone. Communion also is only for the members of that church. They may have some other views that they hold tightly, that cannot be defended by Scripture. 

    I generally do not trouble myself much about this issue. I have too much to do just trying to teach the "full counsel of God." 

    Great question, and thanks for asking.
