Dear Friends,
There seems to be some confusion among our guests as to the proper role of women. I understand this confusion. If I were to form my own opinion, based solely on my experience and logic, I would think that women were roughly equal to men in ability and character, and entitled to equal rights under the law. Thankfully, the Bible has set me -- and all of us -- straight.
The fact of the matter is, woman, not man, first disobeyed God and forever lost the human race its place in Eden. Men were simply dragged down in the coverup. "And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression." 1 Timothy 2:14.
A woman's ability to produce children is not a miracle and testament to her worth, but an affliction justly imposed by an angry God. "Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee." Genesis 3:1-16. Likewise, her mestrual cycle is not a natural and wholesome process, but a source of pollution and shame, requiring that she be set apart from the men. Leviticus 12.
A lot of women I know are tough as nails and sensible as dependable shoes. But God tells me plain as day that in fact they are "the weaker vessel," 1 Peter 3:7, "silly" and "laden with lust," Timothy 3:6, cowardly, Isaiah 19:16 and Jeremiah 51:30, and "careless," Isaiah 32:9-11. Over and over, they lead men into sin. Numbers 31:16, 1 Kings 21:25, Nehemiah 13:26 (saying, of Solomon, "among many nations was there no king like him...nevertheless even him did outlandish women cause to sin.") Obviously, appearance aside, these women cannot be trusted to play any important leadership role in society or ministry.
I'm sure that I have just scratched the surface on this important topic. But in any event, my point is surely clear. The Lord has told us what to think of women and how to treat them. And I, for one, have every intention of following the Word of the Lord!
Yours in Him,
