Any woman who read either scripture would know that God loves and cares for women just as much as men. We are all born with self-esteem. We all have self-love. I don't buy it that women who see 'Christ died for all men' don't think that it applies to them, that they are worthless.

Changing the very obvious gender references and roles for men and woman in the Bible is disobedience.

Dear GWfan:

I have lived in many cultures (India, Pakistan, Iraq and many others) where women immediately said "Never" when I told them that "God loves women". To them it absolute heresy. There are millions of women who are not Americans and who are different from you. Unfortunately, many Christians are caught up in America-first or America-only mentality and I don't think that is obedience to God's word. His kingdom is neither Arab nor Jew, male nor female, American or Afganistan.

Yes, I have always known that God loves me. I still do not understand how saying "Peace to all people" is different from "Peace to all men". Please explain the difference. Did God mean peace to all people Or did he mean it just to men? Help me out.
