Women

Just read that in Iran, women with suntans will be arrested for violating Islamic law. In their religion, women are treated very differently than they are in the West. They also must wear burkas and cover their bodies, and often their faces.

Jesus was revolutionary for His time. He spoke to the Samaritan woman, He kept the prostitute from being stoned, and let Mary and Martha come in be in the men's group, and after He was crucified and rose, He appeared to a woman first.

In 1 Corinthians 11:11, Paul says, "However, in the Lord, neither is woman independent of man, nor is man independent of woman. For as the woman originates from the man, so also the man has his birth through the woman; and all things originate from God."

In Ephesians 5, Paul says, "Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord.

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her.

So husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself; for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also does the church.

In our day we are used to hearing these verses, but these were unheard of during that day.

1 Timothy says, " Women must likewise be dignified, not malicious gossips, but temperate, faithful in all things. Let deacons be husbands of only one wife, and good managers of their children and their own households."

With Jesus, He gives you free will. You decide if you want to follow Him.

Other religions preach to kill the infidel.

With Jesus, He gave freedom to women.

Other religions, not so much...
