The Persecution of Women in the Church

I agree.

CH...I'm glad to see you hang in there and stick around...I think you will bring some good contributions to the table.

When you first started this thread, I was reflecting on women's roles through the ages, and their sub-standard treatment in a lot of cultures and eras throughout time. When you look at women through the ages, you see women being treated very harshly. Women being treated as property, and no better than some animals in some countries. Women getting married off at the age of 12 in arranged marriages. Women not having any voice, or opinion.

Was the Women's Suffrage Movement necessary? Should we have even been given the right to vote? (One of the last jurisdictions to grant women equal voting rights was Liechtenstein in 1984.)

Why would feminism even BE an issue if there is NO persecution of women?

You don't know how many times I've thanked God that He didn't place me in a country/era where I would be treated badly. I couldn't imagine having to live like a second-class citizen.

While this may not have been your original intent with this thread, this is where MY thoughts went.

When we look back 100 years from now, will we like what we see? What will our churches look like?

Discrimination comes from humans. We don't need a satan to make us do bad things. The flesh is doing that all itself already

You are a threat! That's why God placed you under the headship of mankind. You are to be protected and loved because all life comes from you.

What Satan has and is attempting to do is bypass the headship and go directly to the women. He did this in the Garden, he bypassed Adam and went directly to Eve because she was the weaker vessel and he could access her.

The first sin of Adam was that he did not cover his wife in temptation and watched a "crime in progress" against her and finally participated in the rebellion against God.

God chastised the Priest Eli for watching sin and doing nothing about it.

I Samuel 3:1 For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever for the iniquity which he knoweth; because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not.

A Godly man will cover and protect women; in the home, church, job, etc.

If a pastor is abusing women in the church, it is the husbands responsibility to stop it and remove her from that situation. Men if your wife is complaining to you, LISTEN to her!!!

Yep, here we go again. Satan is overlooking the man because the man is a puny worthless creation of God. All he cares about is the woman.

BTW did Crazyhomie just say you women are weak and that is why Satan attacks you???

That depends on her qualifications? What are her measurements? Is she blond or brunette? how much does she weigh?

Dear friend, you obviously have no spiritual understanding. The bible declares that we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, powers, spiritual wickedness in high places.
The human soul is merely a conduit for the spiritual darkness or light that permeats it.
Whats in you will come out of you and it will reveal who you are and who you belong to. You and I have a human spirit that is either controlled by the spirits of the world or the spirit of Christ. The choice is up to us.

You obviously have serious issues with women. Why are you so insecure in your manhood?

Not necessarily.

Great questions, thought provoking and insightful. Give me a few minutes to do some research. Whoever you are Mrs. you are a joy to communicate with.
