Are men and women equal in the sight of God, and have they the same rights?

Answer 1

Nope
A man is over the woman.........The woman is considered the lesser vassal
But does that give the man a right to abuse this right over woman? NO
but some men out there do
I believe that a woman can Love God just as much as a man can
Does God look down on us......I like to think He does not
But man tends to blame woman for his down fall in the garden of Eden

Answer 2

Yes, all tend towards the same goal; and God has made His laws for the equal good of all. You often say, 'The sun shines for all;' and, in saying this, you enunciate a truth much broader, and of more general application, than you think."

All men are subjected to the action of the same natural laws. All are born in the same state of weakness, and are subject to the same sufferings; and the body of the rich is destroyed like that of the poor. God has not given to any man any natural superiority in regard either to birth or to death all are equal in His sight.

Answer 3

In the Qur'an yes, God is very clear about this they a "equal to one another"Quran 3:195. Women have the right to work and get an education("Thus, they can pass the knowledge on to their people when they return, that they may remain informed "Quran 9:122) , and are infact encouraged to do this, it's just that for men their responsibility is for providing financially for the family while a woman is responsible for providing domestically for the family-she does not have the obligation to hand over any money she may earn to support and provide for the family, she is allowed to keep it herself and control her own finances, a man on the other hand has this obligation, the money he earns is for the duty of supporting his family. Men also have the responsibility to protect women from hardship and violence as they are considered jewels. But a woman can rule a country...the best leader in Islamic stories is considered to be the Queen of Sheeba and the most important Islamic scholar is a woman. God gave us her history in the Quran, to set a precedent that a woman in a political leadership is not offensive to God.
She represented a democratic ruler who consulted with her people before making important decisions (27:29). She visited Solomon, talked to him and made decisions for herself and her people. After witnessing what God gave Solomon, she became a submitter (Muslim), while still the Queen of Sheba.
Here we witness one of the first Muslim woman in charge of a nation, ruling them as the Queen of Sheba. Sheba's history provides us lessons that God has placed no restrictions on a woman in a leadership role. Contrary to what the traditional Muslim scholars and man-made Hadith books advocate, a woman as a political leader or Head of State is not against God's system or against the Quran. It might be against the chauvinistic views of the men who wrote the corrupted books of Hadiths.

women and men have the same rights in the Qur'an just different duties. this is the complete opposite to Christianity and Hinduism.
In Christianity:"...if a woman have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be unclean seven days...but if she bear a maid child, then she shall be unclean two weeks..."
Leviticus 12:2-5
"they(women) are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law, and if they will learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for woman to speak "1Corinthians 14:34-35 ETC

Answer 4

There will not be men or women in the sight of God. All will be the same.

Answer 5

Through Jesus Christ, yes, man and woman are equal, however, each are called for seperate, but equally important, duties (such as the man is the representative of the family, 'the head of household', just as Christ is representative of the Church, while the woman's job, in this respect is to give the man the strength and support to fulfill that position [easy example: George Bush would be helpless without his Cabinet telling him what to say and giving him advice... George Bush is the man, the Cabinet is the woman]). (1 Col 11:10-11, Eph 5:22-29, Judges chp 4-5, Pro. 31:10-31).

It is not that man is more important, but rather, the leadership role is given to the man (because in the beginning, it was Eve who was deceived, not Adam. - [1 Tim 2:14] Eve was placed into an all-important decision-making position, and chose wrongly. As such, it became the man's right to make such decisions, and the woman's decisions were of the mundane variety).

The only rights women have less than men, are : we are not to generally teach (see below exception), speak within the church (well, in modern society, no one but the pastor or guest speakers speaks in church anyway, so at this point in time, that is a non-issue), or usurp authority of headship from a man (that is, to have rulership of the home, the church, or in society, which is the man's natural role). (1 Tim. 2:11-14, 1 Cor. 14:34-37, Pro 31:23)

However, mature women are free to teach and excercise authority over children, and younger women (Deu 19:11 [this sets the example as God speaks, not to Israelite men, but to Israel as a whole]; Luke 2:41-51 [Note, that Jesus was still subject to both parents at the age of 12. This shows that, although man has headship over woman, woman has headship over children up until they reach the age of adulthood]; Titus 2:3-4).

Other exceptions : when apostacy runs high, and no man can be found to do what God needs, He will call upon a woman (consider Deborah... Barak was such a coward, that he wouldn't go into battle unless the prophetess Deborah went with him [Jdg chp 4-5]). Note, however, that this is a disgrace to the one God had originally called.

Also note, that Phillip's four daughters were prophetesses (Phillip and his daughters lived in Caesarea). However, notice that it took Agabus, a man from Judea, to prophecy to Phillip and Paul's friends. (Acts 21:8-11).

There is a time and a place for everything. But under normal circumstances, it is not a woman's place to be over men in leadership positions.

However, this is not to say that women are forbidden to speak about spiritual things to men. Far be it. All Christians are called to evangelize and be ready to defend the reason for their faith (Mat 28:20, 2 Tim 4:2).

There is no man, nor woman, no bond nor free, no Jew nor Gentile, but all are one in Jesus Christ. But here, in our fallen world, we still must conform to our rules and roles, be it the headship of the a man, or the support of a woman, be it that of an employer or that of the employee, be it Spaniard, or Eskimo. For if we don't, how are we contributing to life as we know it, and making it better? How are we avoiding giving offense? We aren't, if we seemingly arbitrarily throw off the roles given unto us. As I said, there is a time and place for everything, and within our hearts, we know that God favors neither the man over the woman, nor the woman over the man, but loves us both equally. And the time will come when headship purely belongs to Christ alone. But that place is not here, and that time is not now.

Answer 6

Men and women are both equal from a salvation point of view. They do have different roles to play to leverage the strengths that God gave to each gender just as each of us have different jobs that God has called us to do.

Answer 7

No, for man bears the responsibility of bringing sin into the world. Man also bears the responsibility for whether a child is a boy or girl. Man bears the responsibility of having a household in good standing in the eyes of God.

Answer 8

equal does not mean the same. Jesus set the example of how to earn favor with God when He washed the disciples feet. Serving is the way and women are better at doing that because social pressures put on men not to do not exist therefor it is easier in caucasion society for women to please God, so I ask you are we equal??

Answer 9

they are not, the man is the head and the woman is under subjection to the man.Right from the garden of eden(if u are a christain)God first made man and used one of his ribs to great the woman(can u then say they are equal?).They dont have the same right.

Answer 10

Men and women are absolutely equal and of the same value in the eyes of God.

Galatians 3.28 says:" 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. "

God created both man and female
Genisis 1:27
" So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them"

Men and women have different roles, that's all.
The King James Version, (Cambridge: Cambridge) 1769.

Answer 11

There is only one God - it is called Nature and no faith is needed as you can see it all around you.

In nature the only right you have is the right which you make for yourself - if you don't fight for your right to survive you will be a victim.

It is called Natural Selection - not to be confused with Fascism which is not natural and is a man-made ideal.

The first law of nature is CONVENIENCE
The second and final law of nature is SURVIVE

Stark I know - but once you come to terms with it you will find life a lot easier - Gender is only relevant in as much as males are physically stronger than females !
