I think you’re in a great deal of denial about the tenants of the “women’s movement” and what’s happening right now.
The Bible says that women are to be under obedience to the man (1 Corinthians 14:34) who is their head (1 Corinthians 11:3). Women are to be keepers of the home (Titus 2:4-5).
The “women’s movement”, “feminism” and popular culture all clearly and expressly militate against these biblical commandments to women. You’re in a great deal of denial if you don’t realize this basic fact.
“There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.”—Galatians 3:28
Biblical Feminism
Biblical feminists believe that Scripture affirms the worth and value of men and women equally – and that all who have accepted Christ’s offer of new life should have equal opportunity to serve God. They take seriously Paul’s statement that “there is neither male nor female, for we are all one in Christ Jesus”. Biblical feminists advocate partnership, not competition; mutual submission, not dominion by one sex over the other; the priesthood of all believers, not a male hierarchy.
However, in rejecting the traditionalists’ patriarchal teaching that male is norm, biblical feminists also reject any reactionary matriarchal notion that female is norm. For biblical feminists, only Christ is norm.
Biblical feminists believe that being rooted and grounded in Christ (Col. 2:7), aiming to grow up into the fullness and stature of Christ (Eph. 4:13), and seeking to serve as Christ commands us to serve (John 13:13-17, 13:34-35) must mean following Christ’s example of giving up one’s rights for others (Phil. 2:3-8, Mark 10: 42-45). Any limitation or denial of the human rights of women cannot be reconciled with Christ’s clear call to take up our cross and follow him.
For biblical feminists, Calvary is both the great leveling agent and the great unifying agent. We are all the same at the foot of the cross, all equally needy of the same gift of salvation equally offered to all who believe (John 1:12, I Cor. 5:17). In this larger perspective of our spiritual equality, we who would be Christ’s disciples dare not discriminate against our fellow human beings for whom Christ died. When we seek to obey Christ’s new command to love as he loved, we find that to Christianize sexism is to end it.
Ok, let’s go from your last posts. . What if husbands want their wives to work. Perhaps even need their wives to work to contribute to the finances at home.
Once in the working world, a woman is not subject to her boss any different than a man is subject to his boss. They are both out there working. This is not Afghanistan where the woman needs to be at home.
But, I think most women want to stake care of their children. They live their kids. It’s not a chore or an obligation. It’s love. But, of course it’s a responsibility. Just as the case with men. Their responsibility is to provide and love.
