Question from Muslim to Christians.Answer me!?

Question

Are women treated fairly in Bible?
I have many evidence that they are not, two of them are:

If a woman conceives, and bears a male child, then she shall be unclean seven days. But if she bears a female child then she shall be unclean two weeks. [Leviticus 12:2]

The woman should keep silence in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak, but should be subordinate, as even the law says. If there is any thing they desire to know let them ask their husbands at home. For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church. [1 Corinthians 14:34]

Answer 1

I wonder if you know that you're belittling the Torh, which is a revered part of the Koran and that the punishment for that, in an Islamic Country is 500 lashes in a public flogging?

Answer 2

Please define "fair."

Give me a Godly definition, from Scripture, if you please.

The sanitation laws of the OT were there for the protection and preservation of God's people, and were not a matter of "fairness."

Bible scholar Douglas Fee says that 1 Cor 14:34 was an insertion into the Bible, and not part of the original texts.
On the other hand, A.T. Robertson wrote:

1Co 14:34 - Keep silence in the churches (en tais ekklêsiais sigatôsan). The same verb used about the disorders caused by speakers in tongues (verse 28) and prophets (30). For some reason some of the women were creating disturbance in the public worship by their dress (11:2-16) and now by their speech. There is no doubt at all as to Paul's meaning here. In church the women are not allowed to speak (lalein) nor even to ask questions. They are to do that at home (en oikôi). He calls it a shame (aischron) as in 11:6 (cf. Eph 5:12; Tit 1:11). Certainly women are still in subjection (hupotassesthôsan) to their husbands (or ought to be). But somehow modern Christians have concluded that Paul's commands on this subject, even 1Ti 2:12, were meant for specific conditions that do not apply wholly now. Women do most of the teaching in our Sunday schools today. It is not easy to draw the line. The daughters of Philip were prophetesses. It seems clear that we need to be patient with each other as we try to understand Paul's real meaning here.

Answer 3

There is a certain bias against women in the Bible and in the Church. Women cannot be priests. Priests cannot marry a woman. I don't know the reasons, I don't agree with the idea.
However, Christian women still have the privilege of keeping they faces uncovered. A Chritian man can only marry one woman.
If A Christian woman is raped, she will not be condemned, neither will she need four witnesses, like in Egypt.
The Taliban would not allow women to work or be educated and they were often executed for being raped.
This common idea among Muslims against women seems a little bit more "unkind" than what you describe as unfairness in the Bible.
I wonder if, by any chance, Mohammed was a good example of fair treatment of women.
I know that rape and murder of women sometimes are not even considered a crime in certain Muslim countries.

Answer 4

With regard to Paul's command to the Corinthians, I asked about that previously, and I was told that Paul said this bc the church was just starting, and since they had enough problems worrying about ppl corrupting doctrine, Paul decided to stop another controversy by not allowing women to speak in church.

It may not have actually been discriminatory, women are more social than men, so they may have been chatting with each other and not paying attention, so Paul told them to be quiet during the meetings. That fact that women did hold positions of authority in the church appears to indicate that Paul had nothing against women participating, but there needed to be some rules for other issues.

Answer 5

As a Christian woman, I can say I've never felt like I was unfairly treated, simply because I am a woman.

Your 2 examples aren't pointing out any unfairness. 1) Boys were more important in the hierarchy to begin with. But it's medically unwise to have sex so soon after giving bith anyway. 2) Men are the head of the household - that's nothing new. They're assumed to be more spiritually mature, so any concerns should be addressed, not in a public argument at church, but at home, in private.

Men and women were created differently, and to serve different purposes. Last I checked, at least, the Qu'ran attested to this fact.

Answer 6

Nope, women are not treated fairly in the bible.
We do know that Jesus did not write a lot of what is in the bible. Jesus is about love, caring, forgiveness not about controlling anyone based on gender. We do know that scriptures could very well have been written to support power seeking self serving monks, bishops etc through time (political moves).
I think women in most major religions are treated unfairly!
It's all about power and control and the love of God gets lost in this process!

Answer 7

Evidently, you haven't known Jesus enough to know that He fullfilled such laws to the point that the Customary Laws are now arcane, and are not in force!
As for women in the church, they were not allow to speak in the church because of a Jewish women's habit in the synagoge, where men and women were separated during worship, and women were wont to ask their husbands, who happened to be clear across the other side, questions to the point that it disrupted the services. Paul's only concern was that this habit wouldn't carry over to the church.

Answer 8

I don't know enough to comment on the first part of your question, but I can address the second part.

The verse you speak of is Paul speaking to the church in Corinth where women were speaking out during meetings...in other words, being a disruption. Paul was speaking specifically to that church and those people during that time.

Jesus is considered the great liberator of women. He addressed them and spoke to them as equals...not as subservient to men. Women and men were created to compliment each other, not as they were treating them...as subordinates. It's important to read entire chapters related to this ...each spouse's behavior is a compliment to the other's. It promotes harmony and respect (as well as love) within the marriage.

Answer 9

No, they were not treated fairly but in reading the testament in Jesus words I can't seem to find that he said anything against women. Galatians ch. 3 verse 28 says: There is neitherJew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female; for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

Answer 10

They were meant to be treated equal, until they both sinned in the garden of Eden. Then the woman was cursed to be in submission of the man. This was all in the old testament. In the New testament Jesus changed alot where women stand. He told the husbands to love their wives and to treat them with respect (so to speak). What point are you trying to make anyway? Muslims treat their women horrible. And if you think Jesus was just a prophet as Muhammad was, then why don't you change your ways of how you treat women over there? You are putting your foot in your own mouth, if you are trying to prove something.
