Do you think the Apostles would go anywhere near womens issues in the first century?

Answer 1

No women didnt even vote till 1920!

Answer 2

Yes. The first churches were mostly run by women. The first missionaries were supported by rich business women. Jesus entourage included several female follower who provided for the financial needs of the men. Priscella is mentioned more by Paul the then her husband Aquila and she is traditionally one of the possible authors of the book of Hebrews. She was one of the first missionaries. Jesus certainly treated women as equales. I don't think that the Apostles always did but I think most of them understood that Jesus felt women were equal.

Answer 3

In the first century there were no women issues. It was a male orientated world , much like today.

Answer 4

Ignorance

Answer 5

Womens?

Answer 6

Yes, I do. They dealt with whatever problems came up, particularly in the congregations that they corresponded with or visited. They didn't shy away from controversy or differing opinions. But to figure out what they might say or conclude is guesswork (since they lived about 2000 years ago). All we can do is draw conclusions from their writings and perhaps, too, what history might tell us about the culture they lived in.

Answer 7

maybe in the sense of not mistreating ones property. a thing that's often overlooked is that any religious or cultural ideology must be viewed in light of how people were when they came about. it's also possible that such issues were talked about, but were buried under later thought patterns by people who had a position to alter the written records.

Answer 8

Well, the whole God's accessible to everyone thing was already pretty ground breaking. They might have been more focused on that message than women's issues.

Answer 9

To my understanding, they didn't go near women.

Answer 10

"Women's Issues" as far as the gospel goes cross the lines of both genders.
"Knowing Jesus" is the only issue that matters.

Salvation is blind to gender.
