Last week, I read an article in The Wall Street Journal that profiled Douglas Wilson, pastor of Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho, who is described in Wikipedia as a “public proponent of postmillennialism, Christian nationalism, covenant theology and biblical patriarchy.”
The article in question, “Douglas Wilson Wants the U.S. to be a Christian Republic. MAGA is Listening,” proclaims, “The incendiary pastor calls for taking away women’s right to vote and barring non-Christians from holding office.”
I found many things in the article with which I disagree profoundly with Rev. Wilson. However, one statement I found so appalling and offensive that I felt compelled to take up my pen to refute it.
In the midst of describing Wilson’s views on women’s subservient roles to men, the article quotes from Wilson’s book Fidelity,where he wrote that:
“The sexual act cannot be made into an egalitarian pleasuring party: A man penetrates, conquers, colonizes, plants. A woman receives, surrenders, accepts.”
This description of Holy Matrimony, especially from a minister of the Gospel, is so at odds with God’s revealed design for marriage that it can only be adequately described as blasphemous, defined as “sacrilegious, against God on sacred things, profane.”
