Answer 3

Is God sexist? Depends on what you call sexist. He made men and he made women. That could be construed as sexist.Do men and women have different roles? Certainly, in the same way that a lawyer and a police officer have different roles because of their natural mental and/or physical abilities. Does that make one better than the other in the legal system? Nope, both are equally needed.I believe your problem is egaliterianism, and you will eventually get over it when you realize the world IS actually set up so that the best do climb to the top.Do not pour your ideaology into the Bible, try to read it like a lawywe would a state satute.

Answer 4

Congratulations! You're starting to see the point of most religions. When there's supernatural answers to things, no one can really disprove it. Next, make those answers something "sacred," meaning basically, you become a bad guy if you don't accept it without question.

Finally, and most obviously, hide behind it as a reason to IMPOSE YOUR WILL ON OTHERS.

Notice another famous example. The story of Noah in the vineyard was distorted by some, by the idea that the "mark" that God put on Noah's son was that he turned black. God's answer, after the fact, was: "Servant of servants shalt thou and thy people be." Even though the Bible says nothing whatever about what the "mark" use by God was, the distortion just described has been used by fanatics for a long time to justify discrimination.

Now you know how it works. Put words in God's mouth and manipulate people.

Answer 5

Just another of the hundreds of things the bible says to do that is ignored by christians -- the same christians that claim they follow everything the bible tells them to do, that it contains no imperfections, and that it is the literal word of god.

And isn't it a good thing they do ignore some of that stuff? If they really did follow everything the bible says to do, women would have to be shut away during menstruation, would be treated like second-class citizens the rest of the time, and the world would be a much worse place.

Answer 6

It's essential that you appreciate the implied in context. Don't twist simple matters. Christianity does not oppress or suppress women. For example, the bible says husbands love your wives as much as Christ loved the church. Note the comparison ``like`` in simple terms, love your wife so much that if she had a kidney failure you would sacrifice one for her. If it where a bullet, the hubby should die for his wife. Does that appear as oppression for you. Further more, the bible has several accounts of heroins that God used, there are even books named after women. Divorce, it's not Gods perfect will but there are situations where the bible does permit divorce.

Answer 7

Christianity is about the stupidest, most sexist religion there is. And supposedly a woman was supposed to run the Church. Yeah right.

Answer 8

yes, but does it matter ,

God will accept women into heaven and do you think we follow that scripture today,

we should, but its not like that anymore,

go to church, than youll no that is now void and shouldnt that keep anyone from going to church or being Christian

Answer 9

As a Christian woman, this question is especially important to me. Does the Word of God address feminism? The modern concept of feminism was not present during the time that the Bible was written. That does that mean that the Bible has nothing to say on the basic issues of feminism. Even when the Scriptures seem to be silent on something that affects us today, there are eternal principles that speak to the underlying issue.



What are the issues of feminism? Feminism is a counterfeit solution to the real issue of the inequality of women in a sinful society. Feminism arrogates to itself the right to demand respect and equality in every aspect of life. Feminism is based in arrogance and it is the opposite of the call to the born again believer to be a servant. The actions of the modern, militant feminists of the last decade were geared to cause women to rise up and rebel against the order that God has given to mankind. That brand of feminism seeks to impose humanistic solutions that are in direct opposition to the Word of God. Feminism was originally a positive movement, focused on giving women the basic rights God intends for every human being to have. Tragically, feminism has gone past those roots to now focus on destroying any trace of a distinction in roles between men and women.



What then should be the view of a Christian about feminism? A believing woman, who is seeking to obey God and walk in peace and grace, should remember that she has equal access to all spiritual blessings in Christ. "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus" (Galatians 3:28). A believing woman should not allow herself to be a pawn in the worldly agenda of the feminist movement. Men and women have a God-given privilege to fulfill the plan that God has set for us. Rebellion against that plan, and arrogance that seeks to put self above God's Word, results in self-inflicted consequences. We see those consequences in the destruction of the relationship between husbands and wives, the destruction of the family, and the loss of respect for human life.



"For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world" (1 John 2:16). The principles of the fall are present in this verse. Eve believed the lie that eating the fruit would bring her wisdom. She lusted and she took or arrogated to herself something that was forbidden. This is the basis for the movement of feminism. Women have bought into the lie that feminism will bring them what they want, what they think that they "deserve." However, the promise is empty for the premise is based in pride and pride goes before a fall. "Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall" (Proverbs 16:18).



In the last decade there has been the rise of a society that is so concerned with political correctness and so sensitive to being "offended" that civility has lost its way. However, this is really nothing new for there has always been inequality in this world. It is sad but true that artificial barriers that have no basis in God's Word have always divided humanity. There is only one race, the human race! With in that human race we have male and female, different ethnicities, different colors, and different national origins. However, we are all of the same God created human race. It is sin in the heart that causes inequality. It is sin in the heart that causes men to treat women in ways that are meant to demean. It is sin that sets one person above another. And it is sin that seeks to use counterfeit solutions to counteract these inequalities. The only true cure for inequality is obedience to God's Word. If men and women would walk in obedience to God's word, feminism would be unmasked for what it is, and the harmony that God has ordained for the relationship between men and women would be the result

Answer 10

The Bible was written 2000 yrs. ago by men. Wait, I'm looking
for the one written by women. It's titled "Common Sense &
Compassion".

Answer 11

lol...

answer me one question: If God was really that sexist, than why did he give women more intelligence than men?!?! lol
(just kidding...)

seriously, while the men are the authoritive figures; the Bible also says that in the last days that your sons & 'daughters' will prophesy...

which means: hello --- Females do have a role to play, in God's grand plan...and God isn't sexist.


...and note to "Rocky Road": Good answer!!! LOL...thanks for so poignantly expressing my thoughts also.
