why does the bible hate women?

Question

"As in all the congregations of the saints, women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church. Did the word of God originate with you? Or are you the only people it has reached?" (1 Cor. 14:33b-36 NIV)

so we see here that women arento allowed to speak or ask questions while attending church.....why does thebible hate women?

i for one LOVE women...a little too much id say.

Answer 1

Because it was written by men.

Answer 2

This is a specific letter to a specific church during a specific time period, dealing with a specific problem, you have to realize that before anything else. The problem in the greater context of the letter was that women up until this point where not educated in religion as much as men where. When the Christian church began, it was educating both equally. What was happening though, was women where asking too many questions because they had no previous learning, so it was disrupting the church. Thus they were told to ask these questions at home because it was assumed the more educated husband would know them already. Not smarter, I did not say smarter, simply more educated. Paul, who wrote this letter, talked about women prophets, women apostles, and women leaders in the church all with great respect. Part of the problem with interpreting this passage, along with the passage in the Timoty Letters, is that the Greek language has a lot more nuance then the English language. So in English it basically sounds as if Paul is excluding all women everywhere, which clearly by his own writings in other letters he wasn't. Hope this helps!

Answer 3

you are miss reading that...
at the time men and women sat on different sides of the church, men on side and women on the other, so the women would yell out to there husband and ask what was going on.. That's where the part "They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church."

I hope that helps...
But now we all have full access to the word of God

Answer 4

Before "The Pill" a woman's job was to raise kids. In almost any country, this limited the average woman's ability to gain leadership knowledge. You have a better, more productive meeting usually if the most educated and experienced members do not have to compete with those less knowledgable. It just makes sense.

Their role was highly respected in the Bible but it was not the same as man's. Try not to be so judgemental and read on. Cor. is a good book to learn about the differences in the responsibilities.

Answer 5

Since it has now been accepted/well-known that some verses R missing entirely from the Bible in print 2day.

Praps the whole book wants Women 2 pay 4ever!

Answer 6

The Bible was written by men who lived in patriarchal societies where men ruled and ran all things. If you are the author, you are probably going to put yourself in the power position.

Women were very active in the early church. However, the men of the patriarchal church have disposed of much of this history.
Women taught and baptized female believers. Many early groups met in the homes of women, such as the home of Lydia, a seller of purple. Since purple was worn only by the upper classes, she was a high class business woman.

When Christianity moved to Rome, it took on the trappings of the Roman Empire where women were subservient to men. Christian women in Palestine were not so limited, and Jesus counted women in his group of followers as well as his friends, Mary and Martha, for example.

Jews have a long tradition of women being heads of the home, perhaps the early beginnings of "women's lib."

Paul, who wrote Corinthians, had his own personal hangups about women. However, when he wrote to the Corinthians, he was referring to women, who rarely had the opportunity to come together in groups. They were excited to see each other, and when they came to the synagogue, they talked so much that they distracted from the teachings and worship. Thus,Paule was really referring to a particular situation rather than stating a rule to be followed for all time.

Modern, American society is not at all similar to the culture of the Middle East, 2,000 years ago. Surely, ancient, cultural mores should not be imposed on the Christians of modern society.

Answer 7

It was written at a time where people worshiped the Goddess. The “Right” religion wanted to make a point. That the “Heathens” were wrong, & we don’t want to be like them, do we? So we’ll believe the complete opposite & not be like them.

I believe the Bibles God & all other religions Gods are the same beings (yes, male & female beings.) therefore the gods love us.

Man (not Men who hated women, but humans) wrote the bible, & wanted to drastically change the way they lived, you figure it out.

Blessed Be.

Answer 8

It simply meant that it was not a good idea for women to be teaching men in the church. If you read the whole context you would see that the Corinthian Church had refused to have any rules within the church and had actually become worse that unsaved people. The apostle Paul elswhere in Corinthians states that women were to be allowed to teach younger women. The apostle paul was simply trying to set guidlines for the corinthian church.

Answer 9

The passages that you are using were written by Paul.

Paul is responding to a letter written to him by the church concerning the NEW FOUND freedom of women.

Before the start of the church, women were not allowed into the worship services of the temples.

The church was concerned about some things that were happening because of the women suddenly being allowed into the worship services.

Women were shouting questions to their husbands from across the room, because men and women were separated even inside of the church. This was creating a disruption in the service itself.

Paul was simple stating that the women should keep their questions to themselves during the service and ask their husbands when they got home.

This is not hatred of women, just the very young growing pains of a church that was embracing women and needed to grow. As it is to this day our human husbands and men have not heeded this full lesson. Women are just as capable of studying and learning Gods word as men, and once studied and learned, are just as capable of teaching and preaching, as Paul himself put at least two women that we know of in a position of control at churces that he started.

Answer 10

Because it was written by a bunch of mysogynistic men. The entire Hewbrew movement came out of a reaction against the ancient female pagan goddesses like Astarte. The early Hebrews resented the female energy in religion, and endeavored to snuff it out.

Answer 11

I was just pondering that only recently have women acquired as much personal power as we wield today. And still, in some countries women have little personal power and few choices.

I don't think the bible "hates" women. It reflects the attitude prevalent in the time when it was recorded. Women were submissive, at least in public, or the man would be shamed. Even today, I wouldn't say... argue with my husband in public. It would demean us both. This wouldn't mean I am "hated", rather I have given him the reins of the relationship (at least in public).
