How many women are there in the bible and what were their rolls?

Question

Why do you think there are so few women in the bible?

I should specify. How many of them had important rolls. There are several, like a daughter, or sister, that had a one line mention...but how many were actually of importance.

djmantx - yes im fully aware of that website, ive already seen it. And how many in that list were you aware of before you found that list? How many in that list have important rolls...im waiting.....

and have you read that list? it doesnt give a good potrayal of the bible...theres lots of...WIVES, plural, implying polygamy, and lots of whores, and woman, and non specific titles and crap. Over half of that list is well...ungodly.

Answer 1

women are little more than cattle in the bible

Answer 2

Too many to mention.

Miss (or Mr. as the case may be) there are good and bad of both sexes the Bible tells the truth. Guess God considered that more important than offending you.
God made woman from man they are one flesh and one creation.
God made man in his image and he made them male and female.
God is an eternal spirit.
God is not concerned with whether you have a penis or a vagina.
If you want the truth of God you will not find it in the flesh but the truth is revealed in spirit.
if I went through each one and showed you teh virtues and wisdoms of many would it change you heart? of course not because you are more concerned with the flesh than the spirit. Jesus paid the penalty of sin with his righteous blood that all who will accept the atonement could have everlasting life and you dwell on the flesh of a man?

sorry evolved, guess I couldn't resist,

Answer 3

That's too big a question. Throughout both of the new and old testaments, many women serve a prominent part. The book of Esther, in the Old Testament for example.

Answer 4

Yeast rolls? DInner rolls?

It depends on what kind of rolls you like best.
As for the number of women in the Bible, quality is more important than quantity, I guess.

I think you mean "roles."

Answer 5

Deborah was a judge. Esther was a queen. Ruth was important too. Sara had Isaac. Eve the mother of all. Mary, mother of Jesus. Elizabeth the mother of John the Baptist.

Answer 6

List is to long.

Here is the listing on a website with role

Answer 7

If they were from South Israel, it was corn bread.

Answer 8
