    34:39 Perhaps one reason that abortion became such a central, uniting issue to Evangelicals was its ties to second-wave feminism, which offended the sensibilities of pro-family, pro-patriarchy conservatives. In past generations, abortion would most likely have been practiced to save the mother's life, to prevent the birth of children a family couldn't afford, or to avoid the social embarrassment of a daughter bearing a child out of wedlock, while opposition was more likely to be motivated (at least by Protestants) by the dangers of available procedures. With the advent of second-wave feminism, the Sexual Revolution, and Roe v. Wade, however, the main attention of abortion fell on women who were getting pregnant outside of marriage, shunning traditional roles of wife and mother, and seeking to define themselves apart from (and often in opposition to) men. Opposition to abortion thus became a means of opposing feminism while claiming an ethical high ground at a time when social and religious conservatives were frequently accused of trampling on the rights of others.

    The Deutsche Christen movement in Nazi Germany also promoted the idea that Jesus was sort of a rugged, man's man.

    I would have appreciated some insights into the role "The Left Behind" series might have played in the movement. I do see how the anti-masking movement if an outpouring of a masculine movement. I look forward to part 2 of this program. Good job by all presenters!!!

    I’ve heard the Church in Africa described as being a mile wide and an inch deep. I haven’t seen a whole lot of difference between the Church in Africa and the Church in America. I would be willing to bet that the majority of professing Christians in America, including Evangelicals could not recite Ten Commandants.

      The 10 Commandments are NOT the essence of Christianity or of morality. Most Christians get their views on the Bible from watching movies like ' The Ten Commandments"and "Ben Hur", along with the cheesy, fake-pious "Christian" movies.
      Most American Christians frankly disagree with the teachings of Jesus, regarding them as unmanly and impractical.

      Wanna make a bet? Theyre not Christians if they cant! Not true Christians, those are our laws! No gods, thou shall love your God, love thy neighbor thou shall not. Covet they neighbor, no steal, no kill, no false witness, no images, remember sabbath, no name in vain, no adultery

      ​​@@leezaslofsky4438 umm i dont think so,, what blasphemous thoughts you, have! Yes, the ten commandments are the basis of our beliefs and morals! Jesus revised them and we listen and learn from him and his teachings We also learn from the bible with the holy spirit in us... All others that have no holy spirit, are not Christians!

      @@Leon-Servant-of-Christ The blasphemy is all yours.
      There are 613 commandments in the first five books of the bible (the Torah). Many of them have to do with how to slaughter animals, which animals are OK to eat (nothing that has its skeleton on the outside, like a crab), what to do with a witch, how to live each day as God commands, how to observe the Sabbath, when to pray, when to wash, what women should do after they menstruate, how it is unclean to touch blood, and how the uncleanness can be overcome (it takes days), how men should wear their hair, whether it's OK to marry your dead wife's sister, how all debts must be forgiven and land restored to its owners every seven years, how to construct the Temple and the altar, and how to treat strangers (etc etc).
      You don't bother with any of these commandments, which were ALL given to Moses when he ascended Mt. Sinai, not just ten. Orthodox Jews do their best to obey all these commandments, as far as is practical (there has been no Temple since 70 AD).
      You may say that Jesus released his followers from these commandments. No he didn't. He said that he would not change "a jot or a tittle" of the Bible, by which he meant the Old Testament. That's because he preached ONLY to his fellow Jews, never to Gentiles.
      It was Saul of Tarsus, known as St. Paul, who decided that it was impractical to ask non-Jews to become Christians if that meant they had to be circumcised and obey all those commandments. He told the Apostles in Jerusalem, who had known Jesus personally (unlike Paul), that the outreach to the Jews was going nowhere, but a lot of Gentiles were willing to convert if they didn't have to become Jews first.
      You know nothing of all this, judging by your comment. I know you don't really read the Bible (too boring!), so you pick up on a few talking points from your pastor or from one of the TV "pastors". Then you say you "believe" in the Bible, when you have no idea what is in the Bible, and don't really care. Just say you love Jesus, and that does the trick -- AND gives you time to watch the football game and wash the car instead of worrying about all those "haths" and "thous" and "untos". Or maybe you skim through a Zondervan Illustrated Bible where the kind Mr. Zondervan tells you what all that gobbledygook really means.
      I've found that the people who are always talking about the Constitution (regarding guns) have no idea what's in the Constitution, and don't really care. And the people who are always talking about the Bible, and how they believe every word of it, have never bothered to read more than the Story of Adam and Eve and maybe Noah's Ark, and of course the Christmas Story with the angels and the shepherds and the Three Kings.
      I don't regard such people as patriots, and I don't regard them as Christians. They obviously disagree with the teachings of Jesus, except where he talks about the End Times, and how he's going to come back and CRUSH all the people they don't like. And the only constitutional rights they care about are THEIR rights, especially the right to be a customer of the gun industry.
      American "evangelical Christianity" is really White Nationalism dressed up as religion, and uses the Name of Jesus as their way of showing that they're on the right team. They would lynch Jesus if they ever got their hands on him.

      @@Leon-Servant-of-Christ Most "evangelical Christians" in America don't even know what "have other gods before Me" means; they don't know what "covet" means, and they don't honor their parents any more than anybody else. As to "graven images", they aren't clear about what that means, and anyhow they think graven images are nothing to worry about.
      You yourself screw up when you write "covet your neighbor". The commandment is you aren't supposed to covet your neighbor's wife or his property, not the neighbor himself.
      "Love thy neighbor" is not one of the Ten Commandments. That is one of the teachings of Jesus "love thy neighbor as thyself" [as much as you love yourself].
      "No images"? Here you are on RUclips, which is nothing but images. And the text says "graven images" -- carved images that can be used as idols -- like the Statue of Liberty or Mr. Rushmore.
      The Sabbath is a day of rest. That means NO work. Not washing the car, mowing the lawn, painting the garage door, etc etc. You are supposed to REST, all day long (for religious Jews the Sabbath begins at sundown Friday night and goes until sundown Saturday. Not very practical? Too bad! It's a commandment!
      Your version of the 10 Commandments is incorrect, incomplete, misunderstood, and "don't covet your neighbor" is meaningless.
      I would say you are blasphemous, but you aren't coherent enough to blaspheme. You just don't know what the hell you're talking about.
