What does God's word say about women? I tried looking in the index of my Bible but for some reason didn't find much.

Just wondering-I know it says men are leaders and women are helpers in genesis. Does it go into specifics?

Also, many (gentle)men treat women with a different kind of respect than other men (ie holding doors, carrying heavy objects, refraining from hitting etc) Is this just a society thing, or does God speak out on this?

Just trying to understand because how to keep a princess heart and wondering what the Bible has to say on this.

Thanks

And on the left, under “Studies” click on “Women in History”
My favorite is “The Apostle Junia”

Some good information with references.
I know not everyone believes the same, but that’s ok. I don’t believe everything everyone else says.

And you might like this one too. Don’t know if it has what you are looking for, but I like it. It has some good stuff on it.

Choose Love


Women are pretty awesome.
Confusing at times, but awesome.

They don’t get the credit they deserve often enough.

I agree with whoamI, some pretty good stuff there about what was originally meant in scripture,
This subject is a known contraversey stirrer, so tread gently !

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.

In the end we become Angels in Christ.

Mark_18

In that verse, what exactly would be meant by our head?

That's right Jax and we have been that route before. There are many threads on this subject if you care to look in the archives at CFS.

I will not comment but just to say that the links that Dean provided are very good ones. Praise God.

Opening doors and so forth is a society thing but then again, it is also a nice act , I do it to both men and women and children, and so should everyone else.

It is a shame for a woman to minister in a church, as Paul said 1 Cor 14:33-35,37 , they should not preach in an open place but only in private like Priscilla did in Acts 18.
A woman should ask her husband or someone close to her about information rather than speak in public and preach to many.

1 Timothy 2
8 I desire therefore that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting; 9 in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing, 10 but, which is proper for women professing godliness, with good works. 11 Let a woman learn in silence with all submission. 12 And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression. 15 Nevertheless she will be saved in childbearing if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.

But a woman should teach or preach if God has crossed her path with someone, an unbeliever, or simply strengthening believers. Lydia in Acts 16 had meetings in her home with others.
But if the woman starts arguying with a man about a subject in the Bible, first that's wrong all together for both of them, secondly the woman should be in submission to that man and not have authority, she should listen to him, and if he is wrong, let her not speak unless the man asks her if he's wrong or for her opinion.

The first person to see Christ when He rose was a woman

Women should submit to their husbands and love them and husbands are to love their wives and be gentle and caring. That's in 1 Cor. 7 I believe.

Yesterday I saw a friend of mine that I haven't spoken to in 2 years, and she is being saved as we all are, Praise God Her love for Christ is amazing. I asked her "do you feel like preaching in the future?" she answered correctly, she said "oh we have no right to, not women, we are to only in private."
Many women seem to forget that, and they start preaching and I notice bad things come out of them. When I try to correct them, they refuse me. That's prideful and shameful. But this is true for both gender.

Let me finish by saying that when I usually have a problem and need help, I always go to my sisters in Christ first I feel closer to them than men. And they help me a lot!! they're amazing I couldn't live without women.

God bless you all

The first person commanded to 'go tell' the gospel was a woman.
Jesus isnt schizophrenic, the passage you mentioned about women not preaching was to a certain woman for a certain reason at a certain time, and not to all women for all time.
As I have said a hundred times before the Holy Spirit isnt restricted by a persons gender, if it is Him that is ministering, it matters little what vessel He uses.
God bless.
