Feminism Without Christ Is Equal To Vanity!

Having observed the amount of uproar the matter of feminism has generated from a lot of Christians, especially the men, some even labelling it satanic, I tried taking a deeper look into the matter. However I couldn't really see what the fuzz was all about if it had to do with Christian women, as I couldn't see anything wrong with women fighting and demanding for their rights in Christ and nothing less.

Prior to the coming of Christ, the woman was under the bondage and curse of sin.

Genesis 3:16 (KJV)

Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

But Christ came and set the woman free from the bondage of sin, and she whom the Son has made free is free indeed. John 8:36

Therefore any attempt to keep the woman who Christ had made free, yet under the curse and bondage of her sin which Christ has freed her from, is Antichrist and tantamount to rubbishing His sacrificial efforts.

Except the version of feminism is that of those of the world which is not hinged upon Christ who redeemed the woman from the curse of her sin in the beginning, then it would be rubbish and a total waste of time, because that means the woman was still cursed and under the bondage of sin.

But if the feminism is hinged upon Christ and the freedom that He has bought for her with His blood, I am totally in support of it because the last thing I would want is for His sacrificial efforts to be in vain.

Hence I would strongly urge every woman, whoever you are, wherever you come from, wherever you may be, never allow anyone whomsoever, including your husband, to stop you from being everything that you could possibly be for God. Never!

Otherwise you'd live to regret it, because If you give them that privilege, they'd ensure that you're never live to realize your God-given potential. If it was up to some of them, you wouldn't even be allowed to speak in a church gathering because they believe you're supposed to be silent, as they see it as a shameful thing for a woman to speak in the church. I have heard some of them here say it with much conviction, they'd even quote the Bible to justify their stance.

Let them call you feminist or whatever, but no gree oh! If Kathryn Kulman was here, she would also be called a feminist. I learnt about how the church tried all possible means to stifle her and slow her down, but she was very stubborn. She wouldn't let any man deprive her of her rights in Christ.

She didn't only speak in a church, she was the main speaker and the leader of arguably the biggest church gathering of her day. She led and inspired many men, including arguably the leading tele-evangelist of our time, popularly known as Benny Hinn.

I'm not sure those who believe a woman was meant to be silent in church and submissive to the authority of a man would have seen that coming. A woman being used by God to an extent that most men couldn't even boast or dream of. Who ever thought that a woman could be regarded a "God's general", and one of the greatest church leaders in living history?

That's God for you. God doesn't follow man or his rules. It's man that ought to follow God!

That's why when men are talking there own even inside the church, God is doing His own and confounding the same men inside the church.

The wife of Smith Wigglesworth also refused to allow any man, including her husband, to deprive her of her rights in Christ. That's why when her husband who was also a preacher, hence knew the Bible well, after he derailed, wanted to exercise authority and lordship over her, by stopping her from attending church services, she let him know who her Lord was, and wouldn't stop going to church services regardless of how much he persecuted her for that reason.

At the end, he retraced his steps and her resolve and attitude in those discordant moments made him to love his wife more than ever before, that at the point of her death he wasn't willing to let her go, except on one condition - that God gave him her spirit to add to his.

Now just imagine that, a man who was mightily used of God to a rare degree, now craving for his wife spirit to be added to his to show the amount of respect he now had for her and what she had, which would have never happened had she allowed him to deprive her of her rights in Christ.

Moreover while she was yet alive, she told her husband about another woman whose husband tried to do the same thing and stop her from attending church service. But when she wouldn't listen, her husband would go and hide her footwear away from her reach in a bid to stop her. Nonetheless that wouldn't deter her because she would put on different legs of footwears and still go to church, as she wouldn't allow her husband to deprive her of her rights in Christ.

Those are the kinds of women that God uses to bring about revival and do great things. Women who knew their rights in Christ, and wouldn't let anyone deprive them of that.

That's the kind of feminism that has my full support, because I know what Jesus went through to buy back the woman's freedom from the curse and bondage of sin.

And she who the Son has made free, is free indeed. John 8:36

God bless.

No one can be a feminist and a Christian at the same time

It's not "up to anyone" sis, it's just common sense. How can anyone rebel against the hierarchy set by God himself and still claim to worship Him?

Even the Bible verses being cited above have been twisted to suit the feminist agenda. Is there any translation of the Bible that uses "she" in John 8:36?

Which hierarchy? The one made by God or man?

Haven't you seen where God used women to lead churches full of men when men made laws that women shouldn't even speak in the church?

God doesn't follow the rules of men, and the earlier men like you get to realize it, the better it would be for you.

By the way, you don't even know that when he was used in the Bible, it often represent both gender, for instance, "he that believes in me..."?

It would also shock you to know I'm not a sis but bro right? Jesus who was male also defended the right of the woman and so do I.

True feminists detest the Christian God

At the Point She Delivered Jesus, She became Jesus Christ., The Anointed Saviour.

The one I support is the one the devil frowns at, because he knows what would happen if the maximum potential of a woman in Christ is unleashed.

You must have the same fear otherwise I don't see why you'd be using the church to defend your view when you detest the church.

Men and Women, we are all Jesuses to God. Every Human is Anointed one way or the other. The Light of God is in all Humans..

Believe That then you are Safe, The Saving CHRIST.

Christianity is Supreme and very enjoyable.

Happy Sunday juniorjesus.

I think my write up was quite clear enough in that regard

By the way, you don't even know that when he was used in the Bible, it often represent both gender, for instance, "he that believes in me..."?

You're trying so hard to make it about the rules of man, when it's quite clear God Himself made the rules.
While it may be true that the Bible sometimes uses the "he" pronoun for both genders, there are nevertheless verses where roles are made explicitly clear. An example of such can be found in Titus 2:3-5 Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips, nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good, 4 that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, 5 to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be dishonored.

Read 1st and 2nd Corinthians closely and you will find similar instances

Sorry about that, it was an unfounded assumption on my part

No oh. She didn't become Jesus Christ oh. Jesus is Master, we all are brethren.

God bless.

Very soon you'll call Jesus a feminist too.

Wife submit to your husband says Paul.

Man= Glory of God

Woman = Glory of man

Says Paul.

Wetin you dey talk again?

You cannot live in submission to the curse and belong to Jesus Christ since you cannot serve two masters.

And Jesus Christ told you that He alone is Master over those who belong to Him - male and females are equal in His Kingdom - Matthew 23 vs 6 - 7. So you need to decide whether you will continue to serve the curse or whether you will chose Jesus Christ instead of the curse.

P.S.. No one living under a curse can enter into the presence of God.

I disagree!

The church of men frowns against feminism because the churches are themselves are built on the egoes and traditions of men and their kingdoms.... not of Jesus Christ.

The epistles, particularly those attributed to Paul, which you quote from, are laden with the rules of men, many of them born of what seems like attempts at trying to merge elements of Old Laws- Old Covenant ideas and traditions - into the New Covenant. This is of course in direct contradiction of the Words and teachings of Jesus Christ who indeed warned that attempts at storing New wine in Old Wineskin will only lead to chaos .

Realize much of the epistles were written to a mostly Jewsish audience struggling with transitioning from Old Covenant way of life to New Covenant living - an entirely different standard and set of rules from that which they were born and raised into. So, any Gentile directly adopting ideas expressed in the epistles without first having a clear grounding in the New Covenant, does so in error and out of ignorance of God's Law to man, Jesus Christ.

P.S. The two Covenants are meant to be kept separate from each other as it is against Jesus Christ to serve two masters and against the Old Covenant to serve another God/Master..
