Such determined wrongness A couple ...Dear oh dear. Such determined wrongness A couple of facts. Any raising of the status of women comes from religion and more specifically the Christian religion Anything secularism has done has been built on the Christian foundation.<br />This comes from Jesus treatment of women and the presence of the Holy Spirit in women since the day of Pentecost. <br />But these charges against religion are completely wrong headed <br />I would say that secularism has built wrongly on the Christian foundation by asserting that men and women are the same when palpably they are not The male and female thing is part of the created order.<br /><br />Masculinity is associated with leadership and competitiveness while feminity is associated with support, cooperation and agreeableness So men and women are different throughout history and throughout the bible. <br />The created order of male and female is a real thing and a good thing. <br /><br />So Jesus loved women but he appointed 12 men in a row to leadership positions. The church is guided by the example of Jesus and not by radical egalitarian theories that originate in the writings of Karl Marx Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09006013946847228416noreply@blogger.com
