What is a woman's place in religion?

Answer 1

It depends on what religion your talking about - in the islamic religion women are below the men, as well as in Hindu, but in the Christian faith in the New Testament, women are equal to men with men as the head of the household and the wife is the foundation or the "glue that holds the family together." Basically the man and the woman are both interdependant or simply dependant on one another. Its not a true family unit without both working together side by side, hope that answers your question.

Answer 2

Mostly the same as a man's place. Though there are religions that tend to attract sexists (from both sides)... some women (mainly the women who read the DaVinci code) think that since they are female they are way more divine and should be worshiped by groveling men. Which I find rather disgusting, especially because these women tend to think that's what MY religion is about.

Answer 3

Right next to the man's place. Neither is better or worse, greater or lesser than the other. For neither is the man without the woman, nor the woman without the man in the sight of God. They share the same blessings and privileges in the grand scheme of things. Here on earth, the man presides in righteousness and the woman supports, guides, encourages and even directs her husbands efforts to preside, provide and protect. If the man does not lead in righteousness, the woman is under no obligation to follow him to hell. She only supports and sustains as he nourishes and leads in the true spirit of husbandry. They have to work together to succeed.

Answer 4

Her place in religion is based on that religion. Her place or role in the bible is to obey the things of God. We have roles confused because of the culturres in which we live. We mixed culture with the things or God and is now confused as to what is right and wrong.

As one example: the scripture teach the woman is to bear the children(not just two) to be a keeper of the home, to obey her husband, to love her children etc, now you see what I mean.

Answer 5

Our first "guideline" is the inherent worth and dignity of each and every guy or woman. All are equivalent. you do no longer even ought to be ordained to evangelise or carry a place of authority in our church homes. Why, you do no longer even ought to be "non secular". we've had atheist "Pastors" (we are no longer a Christian denomination. We borrow some cultural iconography from returned as quickly as we've been one. We replaced with the circumstances). All are equivalent- This includes all genders (adult men, women persons, the intersexed and non-gender alligned) All orientations (Hetero,Homo,Bi,Pan, and Asexual) All theory structures (see you later as they do no longer sell inequality, hatred or injury). and All forms of existence (animal (which we human beings are) vegetable- we ought to continually look after nature and mineral- we try to no longer earnings on our organic aspects) we are Unitarian Universalists. we are the abode church that accepts each and every person.

Answer 6

That depends on whether you listen to Paul, Christ, Moses, Joseph Smith, or any other religious leader. It's generally a very subjective thing, and most religions tend to turn a blind eye to what their Sacred Texts say on the matter.

Answer 7

She is the faith backbone. She is usually the one in the family making plans and so she would be the one to make sure family prayer is done, she nurtures the family, prays for them and keeps everyone on track. Men are important in other ways. In a perfect union they work together for the same goals, as a team.

Answer 8

Depends on the religion. But in Christianity, it's the same as men - worshiping God.

Answer 9

Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim - In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

In Islam, women are the same as men in regards to their religious practice. We are all created to worship God, and to strive to teach others the religion and to seek reward in the next life.

Women are required to pray and fast and give the wealth tax, and to make the pilgrimage to Makkah if possible. Our status as Muslims is not dependent on the men in our lives. Each person is responsible for his or her own position with God.

As a Muslim woman, a wife and a mother, I keenly feel my duty to be a good Muslim and to be a role model for my family. My job as wife is to stand with my husband, support him, remind him of his religious duties, and to make our home a place of peace. I work with him in our business, but that is something I do voluntarily to help - I am not required to work in Islam. It is the man's job to support the family.

As a mother, my job is to raise my children to be strong Muslims, to be smart, honest, kind, and to know their religion. As a member of my community, it is my job to help the less fortunate and to teach Islam to those who wish to learn.

In short, a woman's place in religion is to attempt to be a good role model. And Allah knows best.
