Is the Bible Sexist? w/ Dr. Jo Vitale (The Perfect Story - Pt 6)

[@jesuschristislord264]

We are told to love God with all our minds. And I think it's so tragic that even our pastors often feel its ok not to worry about difficult to understand topics even when (like this one) they affect half of the world's population! I am really grateful to have found this woman.

[@zazopink6449]

Why is this not everywhere with millions of views and likes? This is the gospel. God supports the equality of women and recognizes the injustices towards them!

[@erichuffman1369]

Amen, Zazo. Thank you for this, and praise God for showing us the way.

[@user-ll1iz4wq6k]

It definitely does not, how can you say they support equality when Paul says women are to be submissive and cannot do simples things such as speak out in church or lead?. Read the bible again.

[@dostoyevski9423]

@@user-ll1iz4wq6k you have to understand first the texts in its original situation. You can't just criticize others by not knowing the context! You may say: "oh, its very clear right there" but remember, text without context, is pretext Do you know that bible was used for slavery and inquisition right?

[@bibleguy1207]

@@dostoyevski9423 Like there is no law in the bible from Our Heavenly Father saying that "It's shameful for a man to be killed by a woman." Women have a right to defend themselves and kill if they have to just like us men do!

[@osasosas2982]

What exactly is your definition of equality? Because if you mean the stuff that the feminists are fighting for, you are severely wrong my friend. the bible is not sexist. God in his wisdom chose the men to lead. why do you want to change that? it comes off as prideful as in "oh, i also want to do this and that". well the answer simply is no. to any woman who is reading this, sometimes God's answer is a big NO. IF YOU REALLY CARE ABOUT WHAT GOD THINKS IS RIGHTEOUS AND NOT WHAT YOU THINK IS RIGHT AND WHAT THE WORLD THINKS IS RIGHT, THEN YOU WOULD SIMPLY SUBMIT TO WHAT GOD HAS TO SAY. Did God create women in His own image? NO.. Genesis 1: 26 And God said, Let us make MAN in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created MAN in HIS own image, in the image of God created he HIM; male and female created he them. God created Adam first, then came Eve. 1 Corinthians 11: 7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. Should women lead in the family? NO.. 1 Corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. Ephesians 5: 20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; 21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. 22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. 24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; Should a woman preach in coet audience? NO.. 1 Tim 2: 9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; 10 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works. 11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. 15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety. 1 Corinthians 14: 33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. 34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law. 35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church. Should a married woman work outside the home? NO.. Titus 2: 3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; 4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, 5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. 1 Tim 5: 14 I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully. 15 For some are already turned aside after Satan. THE TRUTH IS WOMEN, THE BIBLE IS ACTUALLY VERY VERY CLEAR AND SIMPLE TO UNDERSTAND. YOU DON'T NEED A PHD TO UNDERSTAND GOD'S WORD. ALL YOU NEED IS HUMILITY AND A LITTLE RESPECT FOR GOD'S WISDOM. God bless all of you.

Love her! So articulate and clearly incredibly intelligent! And you can tell she truly cares. So glad I found her! It’s hard to find encouraging stuff about God’s relationship to women and His view of them- especially stuff that sounds biblically-based and intellectual. I needed this. If I looked up stuff I could often find really sexist views, or way too relativist views, and I just wanted the truth and I wanted to know God loved me the same as men and valued me the same as men and believed in me like he does anyone else. I couldn’t just want that though- it had to be true. It had to be real. I could never feel at rest if I wasn’t sure it was truly how God felt. That’s why I appreciate Jo Vitale- she’s clearly done her research and loves God and the church, and she also clearly understands the real feelings associated with the subject and knows intrinsically how human and equally important women are.

[@anaisgautier246]

I thought I was the only one struggling with the fear that god is viewing women as less. The answers that I got were vague answers that god is not like that, but it wasn't enough to heal my heart and feel truly important and valued. The fear is still not gone because I still don't understand why he didn't make it obvious, but I am really don't want to let this injustice practice, and mentalities pull me away from god.

Y'all are hypocrites. What arent you practicing this mysogynistic phrase? In 1 Corinthians 14:34-35, Paul wrote: “As in all the congregations of the saints, women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says.

[@lukelancaster1114]

Hmm I'd say that that verse is more so emphasizing that men are to preach the homily during the Communion Mass. Women naturally are more humble and would make great preachers, but Jesus chose 12 men, so that's why there's a male priesthood. Men need to learn how to serve and preach about God.

[@shinelil1]

The Christian is a hypocrite and sexist (women included), don't even try to talk your away around the Christian way of thinking.

[@uwumarii]

@@lukelancaster1114 the bible did not state what you said and I quote again "women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission" Why are you twisting god's words to fit your OWN narrative?

[@lukelancaster1114]

I understand the Bible through the lens that it was written. Otherwise quotations can be interpreted in ways the Bible was never intended. I certainly do not think that St. Paul meant that Scripture verse to mean that woman cannot utter a word when walking into Church. It wouldn't square with his other statements, such as when Paul said that men need to sacrifice themselves to the point of death for women in Ephesians 5. Scripture can easily be misinterpreted. For example, I could say to my friend "I never said you stole money.". That phrase, if wrenched from context, could be interpreted as "I never said YOU stole money, rather it was your son" or "I never SAID you stole money, rather you implied it" Or "I never said you STOLE money, rather you borrowed it.". I read the Bible the way the early Christians and Church authority understand it.

[@alancherry6736]

The Bible does not promote equality in male and female roles it promotes equality in that both male and female are saved under the umbrella of Christ Jesus with the same salvation. That both males and females are to be servants of one another meaning all mankind. The Bible says that a man must stand upright and be righteous. The term upright is being masculine. It does not mention that a woman must stand upright but that a woman must live righteously. The Bible says that a man must provide for his own household in that term in Greek it the word paternal father were as we’re it says that if a man doesn’t work than he shall not eat. That term in Greek is all mankind both male and female. We’re as it differs in ecclesiastics as mean fraternal male. A woman is not under the obligation by God to provide for her own household which is why the Bible says to take care of the widows and orphans. Notice widows is females without husbands not husbands without a wife. A paternal male who does not provide for his own household is lower than an infidel (unbeliever). God says that a husband must be the spiritual leader of the house and priest of the home. A father in the house was even higher than a rabbi who came to visit the home of a family. When Eve ate of the knowledge of good and evil she was accountable to her own fall, when Adam sinned all mankind fell. Leaders are held under more accountability.

You're trying to get a pious mask taking text out of context to justify your misoginy, just like the Pharisees. You do not need a Phd to understand the Word of the Lord but you need a humble heart without such attachment to your male power and pride that Ancient Pagans valued so much. God is righteous but your distortions of His Word are wicked!
