Rev. Aaron Mize & His Gaia Worship

“Scripture never presents patriarchy as the created or redeemed norm. It is a feature of the fallen world Christ overturns, not a structure he institutes.”

1.) Not as the created norm? Is this why we are told that Eve was to be a “Helpmeet” to Adam? Is this why Adam was the one who gave Eve her name? (Naming was a sign of authority.) Is this why, after the fall, Eve is told that “Adam shall rule over you”? Is this why Sarah called Abraham “Lord?”

2.) Not as the redeemed norm? Is this why Paul tells Titus that women in the Church are to be submissive to their own husbands? Is this why Paul teaches that women are to be “silent in the church?”

3.) Note that what Mize is teaching here is that a woman who is fulfilling the Biblical and traditional role as wife, mother, and homekeeper, who is submitting to her husband as he love his wife is in sin because, as Mize writes, this kind of patriarchy and hierarchy is a feature of the fallen world Christ overturns. If a woman is living in a world Christ has overturned, as seen in her role as wife, mother, and homekeeper, what can she be living in except sin?

4.) Patriarchy … is not a structure that Christ institutes? Is this why Christ chose 12 male disciples? Is this why the Church chose 7 male deacons? Is this why all those who wrote every book of the Bible were men? Is this why all family heads in the OT were male? Is this why the Aaronic Priesthood was all male?

It beggars the imagination that any clergy in any putative Reformed church could write the sentence, “Patriarchy is a feature of the fallen world Christ overturns, not a structure he institutes.”

I am a Pastor of a small Church in Mid-Michigan who delights in my family, my congregation and my calling. I am postmillennial in my eschatology. Paedo-Calvinist Covenantal in my Christianity Reformed in my Soteriology Presuppositional in my apologetics Familialist in my family theology Agrarian in my regional community social order belief Christianity creates culture and so Christendom in my national social order belief Mythic-Poetic / Grammatical Historical in my Hermeneutic Pre-modern, Medieval, & Feudal before Enlightenment, modernity, & postmodern Reconstructionist / Theonomic in my Worldview One part paleo-conservative / one part micro Libertarian in my politics Systematic and Biblical theology need one another but Systematics has pride of place Some of my favorite authors, Augustine, Turretin, Calvin, Tolkien, Chesterton, Nock, Tozer, Dabney, Bavinck, Wodehouse, Rushdoony, Bahnsen, Schaeffer, C. Van Til, H. Van Til, G. H. Clark, C. Dawson, H. Berman, R. Nash, C. G. Singer, R. Kipling, G. North, J. Edwards, S. Foote, F. Hayek, O. Guiness, J. Witte, M.

It is my hope that people will be challenged to reconsider what are considered the givens of the current culture. Your biggest help to me dear reader will be to often remind me that God is Sovereign and that all that is, is because it pleases him.

  1. Yep. I’ve been told by someone who knows him that his wife wears the pants in their marriage. So, to see him go full egalitarian isn’t suprising. This is the stuff that made me tell that session that I was leaving as I wasn’t going to have Aaron as my pastor.

  2. Perhaps they’ve set aside Eve as the mother of all living, and gone back to the rabbinic tradition of there having been a “Lilith” – who Adam rejected because she would not submit to his headship.
