The Levitical priesthood was all male. Only a guy could enter the Holy of Holies. The greatest Prophets like Moses, Elijah, Elisha, Jonah, Samuel, Jeremiah, Isaiah, King David, Solomon, Abraham, and beyond, were all men.
"Let your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak; but they are to be submissive, as the law also says. And if they want to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is shameful for women to speak in church." (1 Corinthians 14:34-35)
"Let a woman learn in silence with all submission. And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression." (1 Timothy 2:11-14)
The minor miracle of Queen Esther,( which barely qualifies as a miracle from a scientific standpoint), is the closest thing I can think of to an exception to the rule regarding non-male sign and wonder workers.To each their own, just don't abide by the aversion for females that the Bible promotes.
Do you have a contribution to this topic?
Interesting post. Many topics. I just start with "why Bible is so female unfriendly"?
My Master has declared that women are more spiritual than men. Not once, but many times. They have more divine attributes than men.
Of course if women say that is not true, what can I do? But from very young age I always wanted to be around girls. They were just nicer.
Two possibilities:
A) My Master was wrong, and men are more spiritual. Then it makes sense that the Bible is written in such a female unfriendly way
B) My Master was right, and women are more spiritual. Then to me it is obvious that the Bible is not 100% the book of God. More feels like "man controlled cult".
Anyway, according to the Bible God is all about Love (first 2 and most important Commandments). How then to explain such a female unfriendly Bible version?
Whichever way I look at this, it does not make sense to believe that the Bible is 100% the word of God; seen from this POV
And that so many women accept this "female unfriendly Bible" is a big mystery to me. Maybe they like to be taken care of by a man.
