Bible Answer:
Bible Texts:
Question: Are women equal to men, in God's eyes?
Answer: Yes!
Galatians
3:28 KJV
There
is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is
neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
Romans
10:12 KJV
For
there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same
Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon Him.
Now although this is true, men and women do not have the same, God
given roles.
Position of women in the family or church:
I
Corinthians 14:34,35 KJV (The Apostle Paul/ who wrote 14 of 27 New
Testament books.)
34
Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted
unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as
also saith the law.
35
And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at
home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
I
Timothy 2:11-15 KJV
11
Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
12
But I suffer (permit)
not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be
in silence.
(And
why is that Apostle Paul?)
13
For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
(1)
14
And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the
transgression. (2)
15
Notwithstanding she shall be saved in child bearing, if they continue
in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
Wives are to be under the authority of their husbands.
Ephesians
5:22 KJV
Wives,
submit yourselves unto your husbands, as unto The Lord.
Colossians
3:18 KJV
Wives,
submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in The Lord.
(As long as he does not, violate the will of God.)
I
Corinthians 11:8,9 KJV
8
For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.
9
Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
God's chain of authority, wife under the authority of her husband,
children under the chain of authority of both mother and father.
The wife is to be the helpmate of her husband. This chain of
authority, is not man's doing, it is God's as clearly seen in The
Word.
A word or two about the husband.
Ephesians
5:25 KJV
Husbands,
love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave
Himself for it.
Colossians
3:19 NLT
And
you husbands must love your wives and never treat them harshly.
I
Peter 3:7 KJV
Likewise,
ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honor
unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together
of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.
The husband, who is under the authority of Christ, is to love his
wife as Christ, so loved the church, which He gave His life for.
When we all love each other and fill our roles as given by The Lord,
that is when we will know true happiness and blessing.
The Psalmist has well said...
Psalm
127:1 KJV
Except
The Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it...”
Prayer:
Matthew
26:39 KJV
And
He (Jesus) went a
little farther, and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, O my
Father,...not as I will, but as thou wilt.
