God Created the Patriarchy

In this video, I respond to @Paul_Copan’s dismissal of patriarchy as a fallen social structure by applying his own criteria for identifying God’s ideal in Scripture. I demonstrate that patriarchy is rooted in Genesis, upheld throughout the Bible, and not a cultural accommodation but part of God’s good design for human flourishing. If you’ve only heard patriarchy spoken of as oppressive, this video offers a very different perspective.
