One issue that makes the Bible difficult is it felt more and more like a "sausage-fest".
Abraham, Isaac, Noah, Jacob, Moses, Elisha, Isaiah, Ezekial, Elijah, Jonah, Samuel, Solomon, David, and other great figures were male.
The psalms were written by multiple men.
The twelve tribes of Israel were named after:
Asher , Benjamin , Dan , Ephraim , Gad , Issachar , Judah , Manasseh , Naphtali , Reuben , Simeon, Zebulun
Israel is the name of a man. They had an all-male Levitical priesthood.
Jesus chose 12 male Disciples and referred to God as "Father".
If I could heal people, raise the dead, turn water into wine, I'd be trying to impress the ladies, and would prefer twelve hot babes as Apostles rather than guys.
Yes, I have considered Queen Esther, but still, the Bible makes a big fuss about the guys usually and there is not one of the 66 books in the Bible that we know of that had a female author.
Even if the culture of the time was misogynistic, there is no reason God has to abide by the errors of the culture. God turned a woman into a pillar of salt, brought about the plagues of Egypt, destroyed cities with fire and brimstone, parted the red sea, commanded all those animals into the Ark, flooded the world, gave the Israelites bread from heaven, brought Elijah to Heaven in a chariot of fire, and so many other signs and wonders, that he could have easily anointed at least one female to author his book. Or one female who worked miracles like Elijah or Moses did. Not even close!
If you read the posts at RF or other places on the Internet, I don't think you will see any evidence that males are more gifted writers. There is no reason God should give the world his book (Which is actually 66 books), without a single known female author. And God should have known the message that would be portrayed by not showing women even a fraction of the blessings, ministry, miracles, and prophetic ministry as was given to men, indicating a strong gender-bias.
Anyway, the poor man Lazarus died and went to "Abraham's Bosom". If I was Lazarus, I'd ask God, "of all the nice bosoms in Heaven, why did you have to give me some dudes? "
I'm more interested in the Marian Apparitions. I like the hail Mary and the Rosary better then intimacy with some dude. Can't help it!
