How come GOD DIDN'T CHOOSE any WOMEN TO BE PROPHETS in the Holy books?

Question

Just because a person name is in the Holy books doesn't make them a Prophet! Don't some of you women think you need to study your books?

Goddess & Prophet is not the same word? are there Goddes in mythology?

My Question is about Prophets?

Answer 1

He did. Why do you say something like that when you haven't even read the Bible. Debora for one.

Answer 2

Miriam, Moses' sister, was a prophet. Likewise, FYI Deborah was a judge. Although there are several schools of thought on the subject of women in the Bible, what it boils down to is that during biblical times, women weren't very highly valued (it is the same way now in the Middle-east). God, on the other hand, thought women were important enough to make woman the help-mate of man (it seems he was kind of lost out there by himself with nothing but a world of flora and fauna). Pluse, God sent an angel to talk to Mary before He sent an angel to talk to Joseph...go figure.

Answer 3

Women of the time were and still are today regarded as 2nd to 3rd class citizens in the arab countries.....they have few if any rights at all.
For a female to be a prophet of god when the lands were male dominated is totally out of the question. Are you looking to be stoned for even innocently asking a question like this?....or would you prefer decapitation.

Answer 4

Not true at all....Sarah and Miriam were prophets as were others. Simply because no book of prophecy was named for a woman doesn't mean there were no women prophets.

Answer 5

Hinduism is one of the few religions in which worship of independent Goddesses survives. Religions with a dated origin like Christianity, Islam, Buddhism Judaism do not recognise worship of Goddesses. This form of worship of Goddesses, survives only in those religions which preserve a continuous link with antiquity. In Hinduism Goddesses are associated with every major God, for instance Parvati with Shiva, Laxmi with Vishnu, Saraswati with Brahma, etc. Worship of these Goddesses takes place along with that of the Gods. But there is another form of worship of Goddesses who are not associated with any God, like Goddess Durga, Kali, Ambika, Chandi, Bhavani, etc. The names are many and they permeate through our Holy Scriptures.

Answer 6

It has nothing to do with god. It's about the position of women in the time it was written.
For example do you see any women as a "priest".
God had nothing to do with it, whoever wrotte that had no consideration or repect for women (as no one of that time did) so why put her as a prophet???

Answer 7

There were many but the church needed to destroy their record or discount their position such as Mary Magdalene. She was a prostitute - no wait she had 7 demons. No she really was from a wealthy family and was Jesus favorite. It says so in the bible, but then what can you believe in that.

Answer 8

Miriam the sister of Moses was a prophet. There were definitely female prophets, it's just that they didn't write books of the Bible. God has always valued women.

Answer 9

He did, Look up Luke 2: 36, Her name was Anna a prophetess.

Answer 10

One, that I can think of from the top of my head: Anna, the widowed prophetess who lived in the temple to a great age and was promised that she would not die until she had seen the saviour. She greeted him and his parents at the temple when he was to receive his blessings as a newborn

Answer 11

How about Miriam,Huldah and Deborah?
There are also prophetesses in the New testament like the daughters of Phillip the Deacon.
