Complementarianism is Feminism Lite
Serious students of Scripture, and of the history of Western civilization, know that the biblical position on male and female relations in society, and the position which is the most God honoring, which produces the most stable societies, and the most successful families, is patriarchy.
Patriarchy has been the norm in Christendom for nearly 2,000 times. It was only recently, in the 1920s, that it was challenged and eventually started to wane, with the rise of feminism. The success of feminist thought has been devastating on society and the family.
In recent decades, some notable Christians have been pushing a position on male and female relations called complementarianism. It is a novel and new position which is not rooted in Scripture. John Piper and Wayne Grudem have been pushing it hard. Complementarianism was created to be a compromise position or in-between position between patriarchy and egalitarianism. It is a mushy feel good position and a gateway to feminism.
Scripture is clear that men are to love their wives as Christ loves the Church. And women are to joyfully submit to their husbands.
The husband, in patriarchy, has the higher level of authority. He is responsible for the welfare of his wife and children. The wife should homeschool her children, and instruct them to be modest, to learn how to sew and cook, how to keep a house clean, and the father should lead home worship and bible study.
With the rise of feminism in the past 50 to 60 years, it has challenged patriarchy and has let loose a complete repudiation of patriarchal values. The so-called sexual revolution of the 1960s opened the flood gates of sexual immorality and the total destruction of the family. It also saw the ascendancy of the homosexual movement, which has now become normalized and is found across society.
Complementarianism developed as a via media, a middle way, that was not rooted in patriarchy, which some Christians viewed as too restrictive, unfair, and in general not in line with feminist principles. It viewed patriarchy as too extreme. And yet it liked some aspects of egalitarianism, but that also was viewed as too extreme.
So we have some major Christian authors/pastors/theologians pushing complementarianism as the most biblical position.
This is absolutely false. Patriarchy alone is the most biblical position. In my experience many who start in complementarianism eventually adopt egalitarianism.
I’ve seen the complementarian husbands, and for the most part they are milquetoast and deferential to their wives. Their wives have, in fact, the majority of authority. And it is the wife who is head of the house, not her husband. \
This is disastrous! Children raised in complementarian homes have a high likelihood of becoming feminists once they are adults. And statistics show that complementarian couples divorce at significantly higher rates than patriarchy couples.
The choice is clear, patriarchy is the biblical position. We must teach our children and grandchildren, and model it in our behavior.

The Critical Importance of Sola Scriptura
God’s revelation to man is mediated through the Scriptures. Our faith is predicated on the living Word of God, namely Christ Himself. He is the divine Logos Whom created the universe.
Christ reveals to us all that He wants us to know and do (faith and praxis) through the Scriptures. The Scriptures (God’s Word) are absolutely perfect, authoritative, accurate, authentic, credible, inerrant, sufficient, infallible, θεόπνευστος – theopneustos (God-Breathed), perspicuous (clear), immutable, and complete.
The Apostles wrote Scripture under the direct inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
Any hermeneutic which doesn’t incorporate Sola Scriptura is deficient.
Sola Scriptura is the cornerstone which Reformed theology rests upon.
With the interpretive framework Sola Scriptura provides, and the strictures it imposes on the exegete, there is consistency and balance in rightly handling the Word of God.
Our faith is predicated on God’s Word. It alone has supreme authority.
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
2 Timothy 3:16-17
The churches that don’t follow the principle of Sola Scriptura, namely the Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches, have fallen into gross error in doctrine. They have incorporated the fallacious traditions of men into their teaching.

Mary Considered: A Study on the Biblical Mary Versus the Roman Catholic Mary
August 22nd is the feast day, on the Catholic calendar, of the “Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary” in the Roman Catholic church calendar. Pope Pius XII established this feast in 1954.
This image above is as blasphemous as you can get. It basically elevates Mary to the 4th Person of the Godhead. Christ the Son, God the Father, and the Holy Spirit are all crowning Mary as the “Queen of Heaven”!! This is appalling and a gross distortion and eisegesis of Scripture. Note: this heresy is so bad it has the Triune God subservient to a mere created being. Mary is NOT divine!
In the image above we see Mary being crowned as she sits on a throne in Heaven. In Scripture only God sits on a throne in Heaven! This image is blasphemous! Mary is not God, Mary is not a god, Mary doesn’t answer prayers, Mary doesn’t hear all our prayers. Mary isn’t our mother. Stop worshipping Mary.
There is a book called, “Devotions in Honor of Our Mother of Perpetual Help.”
In the prayer to Mary it says, “Come then, to my help, dearest Mother, for I recommend myself to thee. In thy hands I place my eternal salvation and to thee do I entrust my soul.”
It continues by saying that we need not have any fear for Jesus if we know Mary:
“If thou protect me, dear Mother, I fear nothing; not from my sins, because thou wilt obtain for me the pardon of them; nor from the devils, because thou are more powerful than all hell together; nor even from Jesus, my Judge himself, because by one prayer from thee he will be appeased.“
This odious prayer takes Mary and puts her in the place of Jesus.- Where Jesus is the one who grants us pardon for our sin, this Catholic prayer places Mary as the pardoner of our guilt.
- Where Jesus is the one who destroys the devil and his work, this Catholic prayer says Mary is the one who has the power.
- Where Jesus is the one who appeases the judgment of God, this Catholic prayer says that Mary appeases the Lord’s judgment.
Catholics won’t admit this but in Catholicism, Jesus is subordinate to their unbiblical deified version of Mary. That’s why they pray to Mary because she has authority over Jesus (though they don’t say this directly, only indirectly). Because they are taught that the Catholic Mary can get Jesus to do things He might not ordinarily want to do, regarding answering the prayers of Catholics. Catholics are taught that the Catholic Jesus always obeys Mary.
Christ cannot refuse any request made upon Him! So Mary is actually omnipotent! This is atrocious and blasphemous.
While He was still talking to the multitudes, behold, His mother and brothers stood outside, seeking to speak with Him. Then one said to Him, “Look, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak with You.”
But He answered and said to the one who told Him, “Who is My mother and who are My brothers?” And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, “Here are My mother and My brothers! For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”Matthew 12:46-50
Here Jesus had the perfect opportunity to give praise to Mary, to exalt her spiritual status, and He does no such thing.
And it happened, as He spoke these things, that a certain woman from the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, “Blessed is the womb that bore You, and the breasts which nursed You!”
But He said, “More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”Luke 11:27-28
Once again, here is a perfect opportunity for Jesus to affirm Mary as a special and immaculate person. Instead, Jesus rebukes the woman and declares that those who listen to Christ and obey the Word of God are blessed, not Mary.
If Mary was immaculate and ever virgin, it would be a good bet that Jesus, or one of the Apostles, such as John took care of Mary after Jesus’ death on the cross, would have mentioned something this important, and that under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, one of the authors of Scripture would have recorded Mary’s preeminent and exalted spiritual status.
The Apostles would be shocked and disgusted by the Mary of Roman Catholicism. The so-called Mediatrix of All Graces, the Ever-Virgin, the Immaculate, the Queen of Heaven, the one to be venerated and worshiped. No the Mary of Scripture was a pious Jewish woman who wanted all glory and honor for her Son Jesus, and none for herself.

Hard Truths for Roman Catholic Theology
The more I dig into Roman Catholic theology, the more errors, heresy, blasphemy, and idolatry I discover.
The following are some hard truths that I hope Roman Catholics will hear and if God wills it, they will sincerely repent, believe the gospel, and be truly born again.
Note: this list is not exhaustive. These are the 30 truths that came to me as I was writing them out extemporaneously.
- The Catholic pope is not the vicar of Christ.
- There is no such office as the pope in Scripture.
- The pope is a type of anti-Christ.
- The pope is not infallible when he speaks on faith and morals.
- Mary was not immaculate (sinless). Christ alone was sinless.
- Mary was not ever a virgin. Scripture is clear that Joseph and Mary had sex after Jesus was born. Scripture further explicitly mentions several brothers and sisters of Jesus.
- Mary was not assumed into Heaven. She is buried under a church in Jerusalem.
- The Catholic priest has no power to forgive sins. We are to confess our sins directly to God the Father in Jesus’ Name. There is no need for a human intermediary.
- The so-called Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist is false. The communion gifts are spiritual food, not carnal.
- The Catholic magisterium is not infallible.
- Scripture doesn’t refer to only a certain small number of believers as Saints. It says all believers in Christ are saints. There is no use in giving this label to individual believers.
- Praying to believers who have died is necromancy and is forbidden by Scripture. Thus praying to a special class of so-called Saints is forbidden.
- The so-called Catholic Saints cannot hear your prayers.
- Mary cannot hear your prayers.
- Mary would need divine attributes to simultaneously hear and understand millions of prayers in different languages coming into her.
- There is no such place as purgatory. When we die we are either present with the Lord Jesus or in torment in Hell.
- Contrary to Catholic teaching, salvation is strictly monergistic, not synergistic.
- Salvation cannot be lost if one is regenerated.
- Catholic soteriology is false.
- The Catholic church teaches works righteousness which is false.
- The sacramental model is false.
- The Catholic church teaches semi-Pelagianism.
- All apparitions of Mary are false.
- All of the 5 Solas are absolutely true and biblical.
- All of the 5 points of Calvinism are absolutely true and biblical.
- There is no such thing as apostolic succession. The power to bind and loose was available only to the Apostles.
- Infant baptism is false. There is not a single explicit and unambiguous instance of infant baptism in all of Scripture.
- Worshiping the so-called Saints (veneration) is sinful.
- Worshiping Mary (also known as hyperdulia) is sinful.
- Roman Catholics putting their man-made traditions, as well as the magisterium, on the same level of authority as Scripture is desperately wicked and blasphemous.

Untitled Poem
I am exalted above all men
In 2001 Christ anointed me
In my denThe people around me
Are quite insane
They want to be freeI am lost
In a Roman wilderness
I didn’t know the costI lost my mind
It’s gone
It I must findI often have a psychotic break
I am not of sound mind
It is a mistakeby Zachary Uram

The White Christian Male Race
I am proud to be white
Our race is truly a delightWe have more accomplishments than any other
So much we did discoverWe built Western civilization
We created America this nationWe are the most intelligent race
In fields of endeavor, we set the paceWe have geniuses from J.S. Bach to Isaac Newton
But we are not highfalutinI am a white Christian man
Following God’s master planWe spread the gospel to all the earth
Many repented and had a second birthAmerica grew to be a shining city on a hill
Thanks to our skillEvery field of knowledge we established and grew
There is nothing we did eschewWe built mighty empires from East to West
Our skills were the bestNo other race or religion can claim what we did
While we reigned supreme they cowered and hidWhite Christian men are exceptional in every way
It is still that way todayby Zachary Uram

The Noble Knight
I am a noble knight
I have great mightDragons I shall slay
I’ll live to see another dayDamsels in distress
I will addressI’ll live in a castle grand
In Ireland’s green landI traveled to Jerusalem
Where I slayed many a MuslimI yelled “Deus Vult”
The Saracens were in revoltI charged forth on my white steed
My sword was badly in needFinally, I returned home
No longer did I need to roamI got married to a beautiful Irish lass
We lived in peace until she did passSoon I’ll be with Jesus forever more
My life was grand and full of loreby Zachary Uram

Exceptionality: A Discourse on Race, Societal Worth, and Culture
Many people. in contemporary times, hold it as an article of faith that all societies and cultures are of equal value. I assert this is a myth.
If one is intellectually honest, virtually any metric you apply to evaluate and analyze the strengths and weaknesses, and contributions to the vast fields of knowledge, of societies and cultures, they will see that American society, made up largely of Christian men, which put men on the moon, and advanced God’s Kingdom worldwide, is superior to pagan and primitive societies which practiced animism and ancestor worship, and had not produced anything more advanced than a mud hut.
I argue that America is an exceptional country, favored by God, but sadly America needs to repent, as it has turned its back on Christ. However the fact remains that there is something quite astounding and exceptional when we consider the manifold achievements of those who are:
- white (Caucasian)
- Christian faith
- male
When these particular combination comes together, the results are extraordinary.
Predominantly white Christian men are responsible for our modern Western society. In virtually every single field of human knowledge and endeavor they built these various knowledge domains and literally built our society. Some of the fields in which white Christian men have dominated and in some cases founded:
- mathematics
- logic
- physics
- chemistry
- biology
- anthropology
- history
- psychology
- psychiatry
- medicine
- neuroscience
- robotics
- engineering
- information technology
- programming
- music (especially classical music)
- painting
- sculpture
- business
- economics
- law
- government
- theology
- photography
- optics
- astronomy
- astrophysics
- physiology
- literature
- poetry
- automobiles
- factories
- trains
- boats & submarines
- airplanes
- construction
- architecture
- computing
- video gaming
- philosophy
- art & art history
- theater
- sociology
- media
- journalism
- playwriting
- ecology
- geology
- civil engineering
- electrical engineering
- military
- rocketry
- satellites
- networking (IT)
- the Internet
- cellphones
- graphic arts
- calligraphy
- topography
- meteorology
Note: this list was not exhaustive.
As we can see, white Christian men have established, and/or advanced, our understanding in virtually every single field of knowledge. And they were leaders and innovators in constructing our societies.
Many white Christians will resist the truths in this blog post. They have been systematically and deliberately brainwashed by the government schools (public schools), and taught to hate their race, to be ashamed to be white, to be ashamed to be Christian, to not consider their ancestors’ achievements as having supremacy over other groups. They are woke and intellectually broke! If you dare to say the white race has accomplished magnitudes more than any other race, you will be labeled a racist, a bigot, a white supremacist. Yet at the time, other races such as Asian, Hispanic, and Black are taught to revel in their race’s accomplishments, to have pride in their race, and even to believe in the supremacy and purported superiority of their race!
One would have to be intellectually dishonest, willfully ignorant, and delusional to read the truth I’ve detailed in this blog post, and yet insist there is nothing exceptional about white Christian men, that white Christian men built the fields of knowledge I’ve listed, or that a white man can have pride in his race.
One thing which I’d like to mention is that the single most important factor in regards to white Christian male achievements is the presence of the Christian culture. This culture provided a framework, which allowed our ancestors to flourish. Whether a Michelangelo, a J.S. Bach, or an Isaac Newton, they worked for the glory of God. They were masters of their crafts and true geniuses. This is noticeable in the development of the industrial work ethic.
The elites in academia have created a false narrative of the history and accomplishments of the white Christian race. Specifically on the topic of colonialism, which they have defined as a pejorative vis a vis revisionistic history. This falsity is passed on down the government schools from high school all the way to the grade school level. They start their wicked woke indoctrination even at the kindergarten level!
You may find my post on “A Defense of Western Christian Colonialism” edifying. It is linked below.
Woke policies like DEI (diversity, equity ,and inclusion) which claim to be “anti-racist” (as defined by black intellectuals) are currently implemented in numerous businesses – including virtually all of Big Business. This movement was birthed in academia by CRT (critical race theory). The so-called woke anti-racists answer to anti-black racism, is to enact laws and policies in government, schools, and the general workforce which would actually be anti-white forms of racism. The much touted solution would be disastrous and make whites into second class citizens.
In summary let me say that it is apparent to me that white Christian men are being demonized and ostracized, and are the targets of anti-white racism. I’ve demonstrated that virtually all that we know as modern, advanced, pluralistic, and democratic Western civilization was built by white Christian men. Many fields reached an apotheosis during the past 2,000 years. America especially has been favored by so many thousands of white Christian men which have contributed to fields of knowledge and industry.
