Welcome to The Johannine Philadelphia Church

There is no true biblical way to redeem any of Paul’s writings nor to receive Paul as an apostle. By making men “heads” of women, he has failed every test of honesty and capability to properly teach essential doctrines. Paul has falsely taught against the equal creation of male and female in God’s image as equal children of God. Paul has denied the equal salvation of women. He has taught contrary to the equal discipleship of brothers and sisters in the Lord. Paul has wrongfully tried to steal women’s crowns of dominion by falsely assigning women roles of submission. Paul has taught contrary to the First Commandment by striving to make men God and women men’s churches through lies. Paul embodies treacherous unity with pagan Ancient Rome and Babylon.

We reject Complementarianism. We repudiate The Danvers Statement that falsely calls exaltation of men as God “Biblical Manhood” even as it calls women silenced, subjugated, and dehumanized “Biblical Womanhood”. Ludicrously, Paul defines women as men’s bodies men own. He teaches a pagan creation myth (in Genesis 2-3) that women were originally created as clones from “Adam’s rib.”

And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man [a clone; a body man owns as his body – his bone and flesh]. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. Genesis 2:21-24

…men [ought] to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it… a man [shall] leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. Ephesians 5:28-31

Paul says that women being created as clones means women were created as mens’ bodies men own. Paul extends this logic to say women should be subject to men in everything in unending slavery.

But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God… For a man…is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. 1 Corinthians 11:3;7-9

Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 

For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 

And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. 1 Timothy 2:11-14

Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Ephesians 5:22-24 

Because he says men were created as full persons and women were created as clones, Paul teaches that all women’s true identities are as body parts men own as men’s bodies. Paul says women must become one with men to fully extinguish all semblance of women’s distinct personhood. According to Paul, any appearance of a woman’s personhood as a distinct human being is an illusion because the two become one; man is the head and woman is the body a man owns as his body. So, clearly, the person is the man.

All women, says Paul, are men’s body parts men own because women were originally created as physical clones from “Adam’s rib”.

This doctrine is insane, but it is what Paul teaches.

Paul commands women to pretend to be bodily appendages of men. Paul lies to say that women were originally created as soulless clones as men’s body parts and this means that women cannot be distinct persons in relationship with men in marriage. Paul wills to erase all individual boundary lines of women to erase the personhood of all women. Paul’s false teaching makes women mere bodily extensions of men in marriage.

Conceptually, just as a man has a big toe that is part of his body, likewise men have women as parts of men’s bodies. As the result, a woman exists only as a “role” like a thing has a “role” for the use of a person. In Paul’s false teaching (and the false teaching of the CBMW based on Paul’s false teaching), a woman does not exist not as a full person and human being equal to a man in power of thought, will, speech, decision, and self-expression. Instead, a woman is assigned a “role” as a thing a male person uses to please himself. For example, Paul’s false teaching and the CBMW’s false teaching define womanhood as a “role” rather than defining women as people.

Once womanhood replaces a woman being a person, all doctrine is false. False doctrine strips from woman her identity as a full person and human being. Instead, personhood and humanity of a woman is robbed and taken away from all women then replaced by “womanhood” in a bait and switch of a false teacher. Womanhood is not a female person. Womanhood is a thing. Womanhood as a thing as an assigned “role”. A “role” is not a person. A “role” is a thing. Assigning a person a “role” as their identity fully dehumanizes and enslaves that person. The “role” is the job description and duty list of a slave with associated restrictions that limit the freedom of the slave in a slave role.

In the false teaching of Paul, Genesis 2-3, and the CBMW, women exist only for male use as sex and domestic slaves. This use of women by men in assigned duties as slaves are then renamed “roles”. In this bait and switch, women being created as equal persons in Genesis 1 is erased. Then, “womanhood” (a thing) replaces women (persons). Through this erasure of women as persons and this replacement as a thing called “womanhood”, women are then demanded to be conformed to the image of a man-assigned (not God-created) restrictive slave “role”.

That restrictive slave “role” is robotic. Having defined women as soulless clones via Genesis 2’s false teaching, it seems “right” and “consistent” for Paul to assign women robotic “roles” as men’s sex and domestic slaves. But a tree is only as good as its roots and fruits. Women were never created as soulless clones or things.

Women cannot be properly assigned “roles” as if women are robots, things, or soulless clones. Women are none of the above.

This is the artifice of satan and why none of Paul’s writings can be received as biblical.

It is contrary to all sound doctrine to rob thought, will, speech, decision, and self-expression from a human being to instead assign a “role” absent those equal powers of personhood. Paul’s doctrine (along with Genesis 2-3 doctrine) is basic slave doctrine that redefines humans as things assigned “roles” in duty performance to a slave-owner. There is nothing Christian about slave doctrine that denies the equal humanity and personhood of women in power of thought, will, speech, decision, and self-expression.

As a big toe is not a person. Neither is a woman a person in Paul’s pagan reasonings. The clone doctrine of Genesis 2-3 is used by Paul to strip from women all individuality, autonomy, and personhood.

To Paul, it makes sense that women must be silenced and subjugated to conform themselves to the image of body parts ruled over by a man. As such, Paul assigns women “roles” just as a slavemaster assigns a slave “roles” as their “duty” and “reason for existence.”

According to Paul, male headship is a man in marriage being the head of his own body; and his wife being his body. His wife, per Paul, is not a separate, distinct person. Instead, a wife is the man himself because the woman is his clone: she is body parts the man owns as his own body. Thus, the two become one flesh and the woman is fully erased as a human being and person.

Again, here are the writings of Genesis 2 and Paul:

And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man [a clone; a body man owns as his body – his bone and flesh]. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. Genesis 2:21-24

…men [ought] to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it… a man [shall] leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. Ephesians 5:28-31

But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God… For a man…is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. 1 Corinthians 11:3;7-9

Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 

For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 

And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. 1 Timothy 2:11-14

Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Ephesians 5:22-24 

Paul’s entire reasoning rests on eternally falsely defining women as soulless clones of men. Paul set forth that the first woman was a clone and therefore no female ever since has been a “real person” or a “real human being”. Of course, this does not correspond at all to Genesis 1 wherein God states that male and female human beings are equally created in His image as His equal children. In Genesis 1, both male and female human beings have their own spirits, souls, and bodies. Very clear boundary lines of individuality, autonomy, and personhood are around male and female in original creation and all men and women (all males and females) ever since.

In Paul’s teaching, women are soulless clones that are body parts men own – like biological robots created for men to remote control. As the result, per Paul, women have no true individual personhood. In marriage, man and woman are to become one flesh. Thus women are to be owned by men as the “worshipful slaves of men.”

Paul’s instructions cause women to lose all appearance of personhood by becoming “one” with men. Women who are possessed by men in “oneness” of Paul’s “one flesh” doctrines cease to exist in any semblance of persons.

The Genesis 2-3 pagan myth falsely defines women as soulless clones who were created after man, from man, and for man. Paul extrapolates clone doctrine to build a pagan religion that eclipses women’s humanity and personhood. Women are fully objectified as chattel property slaves men own because Paul has defined women as soulless cloned bodies men own.

Obviously, this is madness. Paul’s expansion of Genesis 2-3 into the resultant fully dehumanizing slave doctrines Genesis 2-3 produce proves to any discerning born again Christian that:

1. Genesis 2-3 is a forged pagan myth wrongly added to the Bible; and
2. Paul is a false apostle.

Ancient Roman pagan pater familias is the pagan male headship doctrine of Paul. Only men exist as persons in such religion. Women are denied full personhood as women are crushed into the role of slaves as objectified bodies men own.

Any person not permitted human rights and demanded to be subject in everything to another human being (as Paul teaches) is a slave and is dehumanized. Slave doctrine that justifies slavery does not allow the target to be a person in state of being. No person could ever be subject to another human being because all vestigages of personhood are denied as “it seems right” to the slave system to redefine the slave as an appliance or robot created for the pleasure, use, and service of the slave owner. Defining women as clones in original creation (made from the rib of a man and thus owing men unending slavery in role) is utterly profane slave doctrine that denies essential salvation doctrine.

Of course, stating that women were originally created as soulless clones who owe men subjection in everything as “worshipful slaves of men” denies the truth that women were created in God’s image as God’s children in original creation. In 1 Corinthians 11:7, Paul denies this truth and replaces the truth with lies that women were created as the glory of men (not in the image of God born of God the Creator’s Spirit and Glory). Redemption in the New Covenant restores us back to our state of being in original creation. By denying that women were born of God’s Spirit in original creation, Paul denies that women are meant to be or can be born of God’s Spirit in the New Covenant.

Paul’s system of theology is an entirely different religion than true Christian faith. Paul’s letters are Ancient Roman and Babylonian paganism passed off as a new Christianity Paul founded. Paul’s Christianity is false Christianity.

The Johannine Philadelphia Church calls this false teaching the apostasy of Rome, Paul, and Whore Babylon. It is by no means “Biblical.” Pagan pater familias falsely makes God the Author of idolatry and slavery in Paul’s pagan Ancient Roman worship of men as God by enslaved women.

Appallingly, Paul uses the forged pagan creation and fall myth of Genesis 2-3 to redefine women as having been originally created as the soulless clones of men rather than children of God born of God’s Spirit (as the true creation story of Genesis 1 authentically states). This is the root of Paul’s apostasy.

Assigning women “roles” subject to men in everything equals assigning women “roles” of domestic, sex slaves. Only slaves are subject to another human being in everything.

Trying to whitewash the sin of assigning women roles as slaves, thus enslaving women, is the work of satan in deception. No emotional arguments that call slave roles “love” can pass the test of sound doctrine. The Lord came to set His people free from all forms of slavery and tyranny. The Lord did not come to enslave women to men as “women’s roles”. We are made free by knowing truth.

God created women in equal dominion in Genesis 1. Male and female were created with the same one word spoken to create both at the same time. It is impossible for woman to have been created after man from man’s rib as the second creation story in Genesis 2-3 lies to say.

 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. And 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 birds of the heavens, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for food: and to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the heavens, and to everything that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for food: and it was so. And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. Genesis 1:26-31

Paul uses the false Genesis 2-3 foundation (that lies to say woman was created as a soulless clone after man, from man, and for man in this so-called “clone creation story”) to require all women today and for all time to be perpetual slaves owned by men as men’s bodies. Paul makes the absurd claim that a “clone creation story” is proven fact, though any such teaching us utterly satanic and completely contradicts Genesis 1. In the Genesis 1 first creation account, both male and female were equally created in God’s image as fully equal human beings (meaning by no means could woman be considered to be a clone). Yet, excluding all truth of Genesis 1 and founding his entire theological system on conflicting Genesis 2-3, Paul makes dehumanizing and abusive demands must be silenced in subjection to man in everything as functional slaves. Genesis 2 and all of Paul’s teachings are an affront to human decency and dignity.

Genesis 2 denies that women were originally created in the same image of God as equally created human beings at the same time by one spoken word, and denies that both male and female were created bodily from the ground. Every person reading the Bible should know that it is not possible to say that woman was created as an equal human being equally created in God’s image as an child of God equal to man while at the same time saying that woman was created as a physical clone of man and as such is a body man owns as man’s body. It is dereliction of duty for Christians to ignore these glaring doctrinal conflicts and affirm that both Genesis 1 and 2 are scripture. They cannot both be scripture. It is profane, immoral, and blasphemous to define woman as a physical clone created bodily from a man as a non-person entity that lacked a soul (because the creator in Genesis 2 breathed into man but not woman) and was created as a body a man owned as a man’s own body.

It is apostasy and blasphemy in gross error to define woman as a soulless clone in original creation as both Paul and Genesis 2 state.

Eliminating the truth that women were equally created in God’s image as equal children of God born of God’s Spirit and instead resting wholly on a false story of the original creation of women as clones, Paul denies women equality with men as equal children of God in the New Covenant.

Paul claims in 1 Corinthians 11 that women cannot even pray to God directly without a sign of women being under men and thus cut off from direct personal relationship with the Lord. Thus, Paul uses false clone creation doctrine to deny women equal salvation in equal direct, personal relationship with God – denying women equal rights and power to pray directly to God in their own direct personal relationships with God.

Genesis 2-3 should never have been considered scripture. Genesis 2-3 cannot rightly exist with Genesis 1 in the same Bible.

We embrace Egalitarianism. We define males and females as equal partners in marriage and life. God alone is exalted.
