When we compare what Jesus was like with the kind of man Emerson Eggerichs is advocating for, what do we see? They’re polar opposites!
- Jesus loved, but Eggerichs says only women love naturally.
- Jesus told others to take responsibility for their actions, but Eggerichs blames women for men’s affairs.
- Jesus came to serve, while Eggerichs says men need hierarchy and authority.
- Jesus was humble, while Eggerichs says men’s honor code makes humility difficult–including the humility to care for a baby.
