This is what some people say. Is it true? This post is inspired by a recent discussion I was involved in on this topic. Based on what factors does one come to the conclusion that women are worse for cheating than men are? A long time justification for this belief has been that when women have sex, they become attached; they catch feelings. Men, they say, are often only doing it for the sex; no...
Is it true that Apostle Paul instructs women to never teach other women anything else besides Titus 2: 3-5? Well, I have observed that there are “fundamentalist” religious people, their wives and other women of the same mindset telling women that when it comes to women teaching them, they should only be taught Titus 2: 3-5 by women. They supposedly should learn everything else in the entire Bible from men only. One woman even claimed...
“Women just don’t want to submit!” Is this usually true? Or is it that they do not want to submit under someone else’s terms, but want things God’s way? What does submit even mean? In religious circles, it is commonly propagated by both men and women that women just don’t want their man to be a leader. Women are accused of not wanting to yield to their husband’s loving leadership. The word submit means to yield...
A secure husband does not interfere with his wife being who God created her to be. A secure wife also will not interfere with her husband in this way either. It is a common scenario that some women get married and their husbands suffer from some kind of insecurity when it comes to their career successes or spiritual giftings. Specifically, a godly husband will not hinder his wife’s God-given talents, gifts, and contributions. However, pride...
Men are not the standard for women to measure themselves according to. I am only comparing women to men, because women have often been made to feel inferior when compared to men. This is why I say women are equally as important and valuable as men. Yes, men and women are very different, but equally valuable. Maybe you are thinking, Tell us something we don’t already know! This post is inspired by something that was...
I have been accused of male-bashing when I bring up very valid points that some others may not want to hear or may wish to avoid. The accuser is a person with narcissistic traits. I get gaslighted by this person frequently, and probably should not take it to heart, but the accusation is concerning. I want to clarify some things for anyone else who may misunderstsnd me. I suppose it is strange to hear someone...
Misogyny among women is quite common. I observe this first-hand. Some of the most misogynistic people out there are actually women. Needless to say, this is very harmful in women’s quest for respect and fair treatment. Even among professed Christians, some women have been conditioned to have disdain for and harshly critique women. Some have also been conditioned to feel less than men, so they have a problem not only with themselves as women, but...
I’ve stated before that I have been exposed to false doctrine. Bible literacy and prayer have helped me see errors in some of the teachings I heard. Bible literacy brings healing. Among wrong things taught, incorrect comparisons have been made between males and females and husbands and wives. Some of the analogies made are harmful. If anyone has heard any of these analogies and believe them to be true, I suggest you study God’s word...
Crazy question, right? It is yet another idea that devalues women. I have heard some strange teachings. I touched on this topic before on my spiritual abuse post here and how God set me free with His healing truth here. There are lies that have been taught, and are being taught. What if some unfortunate girls or ladies believe this lie, like I used to? In this post, I am going to present the truth...
I have addressed the fact that I have heard false, women-denigrating teachings in Spiritual Abuse Shaped Me and God’s Holy Word Healed Me. I have heard false teachings by different preachers. In this post, I will talk about the teachings of one preacher in particular. I believe his teachings have been the most damaging. I was influenced by this religious leader who taught hurtful, false, doctrine. I believed him as a young girl and also...
