La Responsabilidad del Hombre - Ps. Miguel Nuñez

April 11, 2026·59 min·4 clips

A study reveals that gender is the best predictor of criminal behavior across all societies and historical periods.

1. 'Contrapoder, con Jorge Ramos' broadcasts a sermon by Pastor and physician Miguel Nuñez titled 'La Responsabilidad del Hombre,' delivered as a multi-session men's conference. 2. Nuñez identifies himself as both a pastor and a medical doctor, drawing on both clinical and pastoral counseling experience throughout the sermon. 3. The core thesis is that male irresponsibility is not a modern phenomenon but a crisis rooted in Adam's passivity in Genesis 3 and has continued without interruption across every human society. 4. Nuñez opens with statistics: gender is described as the best predictor of criminal behavior in cross-cultural research spanning all societies and income levels; male crime rates have held constant across history. 5. He cites additional statistics: 63% of teens who commit suicide come from fatherless homes; 85% of children with behavioral or obedience problems; 90% of teens who run away from home; 75% of adolescent drug users—all from homes without a father present. 6. He references a Canadian and US economic crisis study in which 80% of layoffs went to men, and the reason given by employers was that women were more honest, effective, and efficient workers. 7. The theological argument traces male leadership to Genesis 1-2, where God gave Adam instructions to tend and guard the garden before Eve was created, making Adam responsible for transmitting those instructions to his wife. 8. Nuñez argues that in Genesis 3, when the serpent approached Eve and she ate, Adam was present and silent—'Adán cayó. No, se silenció'—and that God called out to Adam, not Eve, because Adam held the mandate. 9. He cites Matthew 20:25-27 to contrast God's intended servant-leadership model with domination, arguing the creation mandate for men to exercise dominion was over nature, not over people. 10. From 1 Corinthians 11:8-9 and Ephesians 5:23, he argues that the New Testament reaffirms male headship in the home without reversing Adam's fall; the structure was not abolished, only distorted. 11. Nuñez defines three ordained roles for men: leader (providing vision and stability), protector (guarding the physical and moral integrity of the family), and mentor (providing spiritual formation and modeling). 12. In a clinical illustration, he notes that husbands in his medical practice often cannot name their own medications, have their wives call the doctor on their behalf when ill, and take no responsibility for their own health decisions. 13. In a pastoral illustration, 70-80% of Christian literature in the US is purchased by women; men frequently buy books they never read, and wives read them instead. 14. He hosts a meeting with 17 single professional women ages 20-35 from his church who describe their male peers as unwilling to work, immature, indecisive, and silent about their future—criticisms he plans to relay directly to a parallel group of single men. 15. Nuñez argues that male passivity creates a vacuum women feel compelled to fill, but that years of doing so leave wives exhausted—saying 'I am tired of being the man of the house'—while men who step into leadership gain energy rather than lose it. 16. The four consequences of Adam's fall that he identifies as still present in men today are: shame (avoidance of admitting weakness), isolation (withdrawal when insecure), unacknowledged fear (machismo as its expression), and blame-shifting (externalizing fault onto others). 17. He cites 1 Peter 3 and Malachi 2 to argue that how a man treats his wife directly determines whether God hears his prayers—'your prayers are hindered' because you have been disloyal to the wife of your youth. 18. The remedy Nuñez proposes is not a conference or Bible study alone, but closeness to God ('intimidad con Dios'), arguing the dysfunction was acquired at a distance from God and can only be healed by returning to that proximity. 19. The tone is direct, clinical, and theologically systematic, mixing scriptural exegesis with counseling vignettes and social statistics; it is not primarily emotionally rousing. 20. Married Christian men seeking a theological and practical framework for self-examination will find this useful; those outside an evangelical Christian worldview, non-Spanish speakers, or those seeking entertainment will not.
