“The religion of women and slaves.”
Must be a reason for it.
This is not exactly new.
It has been taught in churches for a long time
Excellent article.
Thanks for the ping.
I guess, having been raised in a Christian culture (until now it seems) that we take so much for granted what we have.
Just so.
BS... Nothing of the sort. Now Islam that’s a different story. Won’t let them vote, tells them what to wear, stones them, rapes them, treats them like slaves. Who’s really waging war on women. Certainly not Christianity. Of course Muslim / communists / progressives / lefties lie and use projection against their enemies to further their lies Alinksky style. That’s what liars do...
A lot of that article is new to me.
This is, of course, true.
Which is why I've always been so amused by the Da Vinci Code types, who think the ancient world was feminist.
For example, Athenian women were about as secluded as the women of the Taliban. With the exception of courtesans.
What I find interesting is that in some religious circles, men use Scripture to subjugate women.
They quote verses at them about obeying their husbands to control them and stop them from arguing back.
I read something recently about a woman who was speaking in a church and all the women were the perfect models of Christian ladies, but underneath, they were a wreck.
Turned out many of the couples were putting on a good front as the husband was beating the wife, and so on.
What those men fail to realize (or choose to ignore) is that Scripture speaks to them as well in how they are to treat their wives.
Lifetime had a great special last weekend about the women of the Bible.
It highlighted how Mary Magdalene and other women were the only members of Jesus’ flock who didn’t scatter and flee when Jesus was captured in Jerusalem.
In my opinion, all the other male followers ran away like frightened little girls.
It also claimed that resurrected Jesus chose to reveal himself first to a woman: Mary Magdalene.
