Not personal saying they don't, hope everyone that deserves it does. Even the athiest. But I've noticed some wierd things in the bible. In numbers I believe it talks about rape. Out of like 8 scenario's the woman gets stoned and the 1 that she doesn't the guy has to give her father like a goat. Seems one sided. Also when Jesus came back from hell mary magalon was first to find him. Jesus told her leave me be woman and find my brothers. Seems a little harsh like he learned something. I would have been happy to see anyone. There is also a painting showing nothing but women in hell, it shows saints how to ascent to heaven or descent to hell. Doesn't seem like much thought is put into females for some reason.

We are Mankind, after all. Man was God's creation first, and then woman. We were created as a helpmate to Man. The fact that He entrusted woman to bear the children, tells us that He gave the most important position to women. The Savior, Jesus, had to be born of a woman, virgin and all, and He's the word of God, and He is God. "In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God." John 1-1-5.
Man's jobs are important, but they pretty much all have to do with the creations after they're here. Man and mankind have different purposes, or roles to play on earth. Women, then and now, are like the go betweens in arbitrations. That's probably why they have a kinder and more caring spirit. Perhaps, that is why Jesus said that to her. A woman is emotional by nature, and besides, He had spoken about what would come to pass with His disciples, and not her, so basically, He really didn't have much time for emotions just then. He was on a mission.

In Bible days most women were treated as cattle or slaves with really no rights at all!
But when Jesus came he changed the way women were treated! In the one story from John that you mention where Mary Magdelene was the first one to encounter Jesus, the reason Jesus told Mary not to touch Him was because he had not ascended to the Father!
Women as well as men will all go to heaven if they repent of their sins and accept the sacrifice that Jesus paid for them!

Jesus loves women just like men.
John 11:5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
However, if you believe the false gnostic gospel of Thomas, it has an account of Jesus telling his disciples that women couldn't enter the kingdom of Heaven and so if they wanted any of their female friends or relatives to be saved they should pray for Jesus to turn them into men.
That's one of many reasons why this so called "gospel" was discounted and not included in the Bible, since it contradicts the rest of the Scriptures.
Galatians 3:27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

The freedom granted to women in Babylonia allowed them to hold and manage their own estates.... The mother here is always represented by a sign which means "goddess of the house."
Landed property developed in the hands of women because women were the first to farm the land, thereby establishing ownership of it.
Religion as an instrument to deprive women and make them dependant.
Christian kings commonly endowed their barons with the phrase, "Take that woman and her fief." The early centuries of the Christian conquest of Europe were largely occupied with acquisition lands from the pagan women.
a man shall "leave his father and his mother, and cleave unto his wife" (Genesis 2:24).
Naomi told her daughters-in-law to "return each to her mother's house" (Ruth 1:8) because houses were owned by mothers, not fathers.
A marriage agreement permitting removal of a woman from her maternal home was a violation of ancient laws. Therefore Abraham, seeking a bride for his son, had to give many gifts to the bride, to her mother, and to her brother (not to her father!) as compensation for taking her away from her home (Genesis 24:53).
Retention of property in the hands of a patrilineal clan was the purpose of the so-called Levirate marriage commanded by the patriarchal God (Deuteronomy 25:5). If a man died, his brother must marry the widow rather than allow her to take her property and depart from the family.
Priests married to gain property, claiming that without their wives they succumb to "hunger and nakedness." Church laws revised the system; then a series of papal decretals between 1031 and 1051 ordered priests to abandon their wives and sell their children into slavery. Naturally, the property and monies thus acquired by a priest revert to the church upon his death, since he no longer had legal heirs.
The legal/ecclesiastical war on female property ownership went on century after century, until women were so hamstrung by the laws of patriarchal God and man that they had almost nothing left that they could call their own.
By the end of the 19th century, English wives could not administer their own property even if they had any, nor make a will disposing of it, without their husbands' consent.
As late as 1930 in France and 1950 in Germany a woman was forbidden to do any business with a bank, not make small deposits, without her husband's permission.
Up to the present time, lack of control over money and property is still the greatest obstacle for women who wish to bring up their children respectably or take them and leave abusive or violent husbands. In this respect the centuries of patriarchal effort achieved their goal.

Wow. You need to diversify your reading list. If you spend all your time reading fiction your world view will become distorted and soon you'll be burning witches and torturing heretics.
