Give a woman someone truly caring to talk to, though, and that can change. The traditional interpretation of the Scriptures where wives are expected to defer to domineering husbands has caused many men to find a great deal of satisfaction in their marriages, while at the same time their wives endured it in misery, but kept their complaints to themselves lest they were deemed 'unwomanly' and 'unspiritual'. They saw what they wanted to see when they interpreted the Hebrew and Greek, though the original languages offered alternative meanings that did not make women subordinate. The Bible has been translated for centuries by men whose hearts were polluted with pride and the desire to control to the advantage of men and the detriment of women. Or just close your mind and play right into satan's hands like billions of men already have, to the detriment of their own personal growth and of the Church.Īlso, contrary to the original Scriptures, God does not mean for wives to be subordinate to their husbands. For Scriptural support of this position, read Why Not Women? by Loren Cunningham, David Joel Hamilton, and Janice Rogers. Various translations make it seem that it does, but careful, unprejudiced study of the original Scriptures in Hebrew and Greek indicate that God really does mean what He says about not respecting men above women.Īccording to the true meanings of the words of the Bible, women can be pastors, teachers, evangelists, prophets, and apostles.
