IS GOD UNFAIR TO WOMEN? - Patrick A Parnell - January 1974

Patrick A Parnell

Feminists claim that Christianity, scripture, and the God of the Bible are unfair to women. They demand theological rethinking. "God's gender could just as well be She as He. We could say our Mother instead of our Father, and God created woman in Her image, rather than God created man in His image." These recent pronouncements come from a growing number of adamant feminists in the churches. To the amazement of many church leaders, scores of women are taking issue with cherished traditions - even the Bible itself. Women in the churches are sounding a battle cry and demanding equal rights. They proclaim, "We will be silent no longer! Christianity and the Bible have been male-dominated and male-favored too long! We insist on full, and equal participation with men in all levels of church decision- making and power!" - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
