“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...
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...
As I look at the mess society has become, I recognize a root problem of it all. I see major dysunction close to me. Painfully close. One in a leadership position is belittling, gaslighting, and controlling another. The recipient is somewhat gullible and is getting confused and messed up in the head, believing the emotional and spiritual abuse. A skewed understanding of God’s word according to this abusive leader is rubbing off on the recipient....
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...
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.” Some men were repeating this and making insinuations about it along the lines of women’s inferiority. In the previous post, I discussed how I had prayed about this verse and the entire passage. The Lord helped me to understand what it truly...
So men are glorious and have glory like God? They share in His awesomeness? And women don’t? Women are glorious, but only have glory like a mere man? I had to pray for clarification in understanding the Apostle Paul’s statement in 1st 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.” •...
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...
I have acknowledged a prior distorted sense of who I was concerning my identity and purpose as a woman, and my misunderstanding of God, due to false religious teachings. I will elaborate more on that in this post. Teachings I heard insinuated that a woman was never really even meant to be. Implication was that the woman was created only as an afterthought when God had a light bulb moment, and realized that His wonderful...
I was quite messed up spiritually in my younger years. False doctrine and spiritual abuse, detrimental ideology, wrong conditioning, ignorance, and the hypocrisy that plagues society has significantly and uniquely affected many women. In fact, I am one of those women. One reason spiritual abuse is so damaging is that it tends to completely distort someone’s understanding of who they are, and who God really is. This can cause someone to feel inferior and alienated...
