As per Gal 3:28 (using 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". When the angels sang to the shepherds "peace on earth, good will to men"--are we supposed to think that it is only to "males"? What did God mean? "Men" (males) or "people"?
Many women who live in cultures where females have no value (baby girls are left to die at birth, etc) may be deeply touched to hear that Jesus loves them, not just men. We, in America, take for granted that we are loved by God. Others have no concept that God could possibly love a woman. It is considered heresy.
It is considered heresy.
They who would diminish the value of women have perverted the Word of God. Men and women are different and equal in the eyes of the Lord. He is the God of order and the God of love.
Interestingly, when we "receive the adoption as sons" in Paul's epistle to the Galatians (4:6), the point is that we all -- men and women -- receive the inheritance. That is precisely why it does not say "children"!
