Men, Women and God – What is a man and a woman’s role in relation to each other and God according to Scripture? – Part 2
Something I have struggled with the last few years is a man’s role in relationship with his female counterpart. I have experienced relationships with women in a multitude of ways, Grandma’s, Mom’s, Sisters, Girlfriends, Friends and Co-workers. I will admit I have not always been perfect in my attitude towards women and at times I am sure a few of them have wanted to ring my neck for the way I treated them. With that all being said, there must be a good way for men and women to interact, regardless of what type of relationship they are in with each other. This week I will tackle the question of men and women’s relationships with each other and God, using the Bible as the go to reference book of choice…cont’d.
Next, let’s talk about the role of women in the Bible and the world for that matter. I do not think there is a role a man could play in this world that a woman could not. There are a multitude of stories in the Bible that talk about men and women; fighting, reigning, running business’s, ministering, etc. The point is that if it came down to the nuts and bolts of the matter, there is no doubt in my mind that a woman could do, with God’s help of course, everything that a man could do in this world, to be deemed successful in the eyes of our Maker and even the world for that matter! Of course the number of “successful” men mentioned in the Bible compared to women may be quantified as higher, I don’t know. But I have often heard that “behind every successful man is his female counterpart”.
More to come…
