Why does satan hate genders?

[nebula]

Maybe not so much needing an answer, but I think it valuable to discuss this topic.

Satan's war against women

Reducing women to sex objects. The loss of innocence. Men treating women as second-class or property. The fashion industry, Hollywood, pop-culture, etc. focusing on body image - it needst ohave "sex appeal" - in other words, your figure and how you dress needs to provoke lust (low cut, cleavage, exposed midriff, tight pants, Daisy dukes, as little covered as possible). Girls thinking they have to look and dress provocatively to find male-acceptance and attention, find their self-worth. "Reproductive rights" is the code phrase for promoting illicit sex and abortion (I hear these words advocated whenever they talk about their rights to sex and abortion).

Satan's war against men

Manhood is hated, discouraged, and belittled - the strong defender, the warrior, the risk-taker, the adventurer. Men need to be "sensitive" like women (note: this is different from leading with their hearts). They shouldn't be competitive. Men should be subservient.

The devaluing of gender-identity

With women supposed to be like men and men supposed to be like women, now it is praised for men to deny their masculinity and women to deny their femininity. Homosexuality and lesbianism is one aspect of this. But we have little boys be taught by mothers to enjoy "girly things". Another child is being raised androgynous so that the child can "choose" his/her gender.

Thoughts? Additions? Etc.?

I think Satan is working toward destroying gender identity the way God intended it to be; corrupting the family unit & nullifying the command of God to "be fruitful & multiply".

I think it also causes a self-loathing (even if only subconsciously) within people that reinforces the thought that they are unworthy to be loved & accepted by God.(I believe God imparts to each of us the "breath of life" (part of Himself) when we are born & that we are all inherently aware that He IS, whether or not we ever acknowledge Him as God.)

God Says

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. Genesis 1:27-28

satan is working in that way ...so that mankind can fall into ..sin.

He is using anything he can to bait a person . It may be pleasing to the eyes, ears, or to a feeling ...of ones' fleshly body.

satan can put thoughts,to our mind , and those thoughts if acted upon ...can lead to sin.

That is why people have to be careful of lust , or anything that is not godly.

The demon behind homosexuality,porn and lust is , the spirit of perversion.

Grace and peace to all,

That " other one" is against GOD, not us or gender, or whatever.

But first:

There is no way for us to get out of sin if we keep talking about sin.

Yet we are taught more curiousity towards sin from that of a child.

Everything you mentioned is watched, that can be NOT WATCHED!!

AS JESUS says:

MATTHEW 6:22-23

“The eye is the lamp of the body.

If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light.

But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness.

If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!

“No one can serve two masters.

Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other.

You cannot serve both God and money

yes, we may seem very different when we talk this way, but that's what JESUS says, " Deny me, the will deny you!!"

Everyone pray for GOD's strength to be more courageous in speaking HIS word, not the other's deeds to be able to speak HIS WORD. Because then, we are serving two masters, we are lukewarm.

If you want to take care of sin, then, like JESUS, catch it in the act, and rebuke it.

Afterwards, don't even speak about it, because even that is sinful; as that sin rebuked can influence someone or make them curious to the sin.

Be careful.

Satan doesnt hate any gender or man.

He is just going against GOD.

Humans are in the middle.

We are the playground.

Remember, we weren't there when he was cast out of heaven.

We are not special for him to waste his time.

This is all a holy war, so, he will use anything to go against GOD; us in the form of; teachers, lawyers, doctors, and any form of authority that can manipulate masses at one. Satan will also use nature, angels, etc.....He is against GOD. It's bigger than us.

JESUS says here about what we should watch for how satan is using us:

MATTHEW 23:1-4

Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples:

“The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat.

So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach.

They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.

What we see we talk about.

This is the real trick of the adversary.

If you have more time to talk about sins you see, then you are talking less about the love of CHRIST.

THis is why JESUS says, " Be in the world, not of the world".

Once HE comes and gets us, it's for us to get out. Dont look, don't speak about the world!! GET OUT!!

Or else, you continue the process of the world and what the adversary wants.

This all depends on our hearts.

Grace and Peace

Satan is the God of this world.

His works are based off one single lie, you can become a god. With the 'eyes' of our understanding opened as of the original sin we simply became 'like' God in the one way we previously were not. We were faced with moral judgments and possessed the ability to judge things for ourselves based upon our limited knowledge of things.

That said, in order to be god of this world, Satan merely needs us to act upon our own judgments/opinions. He does not care one lick whether we do things as God would do or not as long as we do them because 'we' think it is right based upon our own judgment and not simply accepting Gods word for it. Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil and take away the sin of the world. That sin is judging for ourselves without knowing what God says is right.

So the 'gender' war as it appears is not actually a gender war. Satan does not hate manly men or feminine women. He could care less. He just wants to be god and emulating him by deciding for yourself instead of relying upon God to understand good and evil makes Satan your idol and friend, thus your god. Let God be true and every man a liar.

In Jesus Name,

ok. gender confusion tends to lead to homosexuality. men and women in marriage is a direct image of god. that is why satan hates marriage. destroy that and even if theres a church around the message is warped.

compare a bible believing married couple to a bible believing single parent. both are sanctified but the laters kids will have issue with their marriages if they marry at all.

I'm not sure what I think about this exactly. What the ideal 'man' and 'woman' is does tend to change from century to century, sometimes to a huge extent, and doesn't account for individual differences in personality and interest. That being said, there are some differences between men and women in average abilities and interests in different areas, but as is the case when dealing with these sorts of curves there are plenty of outliers. How that relates to what is objectively good or bad though isn't clear to me at all. Does God care if a woman enjoys taking risks, say, enjoys extreme rock climbing? Or enjoys being competitive? Is a man lesser if he doesn't like that stuff as much as his wife?

I was afraid I might not have explained things right.

I was trying to recall how things were expressed in the book Wild at Heart, by John Eldredge

Overview

Every man was once a boy. And every little has dreams, big dreams, dreams of being the hero, of beating the bad guys, of doing daring feats and rescuing the damsel in distress. Every little girl has dreams, too: of being rescued by her prince and swept up into a great adventure, knowing that she is the beauty. But what happens to those dreams when we grow up? Walk into most churches, have a look around, and ask yourself: What is a Christian man? Without listening to what is said, look at what you find there. Most Christian men are . . . bored.

John Eldredge revises and updates his best-selling, renowned Christian classic, Wild at Heart, and in it invites men to recover their masculine heart, defined in the image of a passionate God. And he invites women to discover the secret of a man's soul and to delight in the strength and wildness men were created to offer. John Eldredge is the director of Ransomed Heart

soldiering takes care of that hero thing for me.

This is an ideal subject and why I coach Youth League Football. Eldridge is right, young men are bored and in specific, young Christian men. They need role models and church leaders who are men, passionate men.
