Does God care about the accomplishments of the feminist
movement? I googled what the feminist movement accomplished and this is what I
found ~
More women started
careers instead of staying home with their children. In 1970, 8 percent of all
medical school graduates and 5 percent of law school graduates were women. By 1998,
those numbers had risen to 42 and 44 percent respectively. Women also made
political gains as many ran for and were elected to office. {source}
I also know they helped abortion become legal, gave women
the right to vote, and equal pay for equal work. Are these things important to
God?
No, I think some of them are completely contrary to what God
wants of women. He WANTS them staying home with their children. I doubt He
cares about wives and mothers having careers and running for political office since
almost all of the leadership positions held in the Bible were by men. I can't
believe He would change His mind over the years because of the new {???}
enlightenment.
I know He hates abortion. He hates the killing of the
innocent. There is NO chance He supports abortion. What about equal pay for
equal work? I am not sure about that since it is simply a result of women
leaving their homes for careers and usually neglecting their husbands and
homes. The right to vote? Not sure about that either since a wife's vote may
cancel out her husband's vote who God has ordained as the head and leader of
the home. {Please don't worry, feminists. I promise I will not try to take away your right to vote. Yes, I always vote and I vote exactly the same way that Ken does so I don't cancel out his vote.}
So does God care much about women? YES! He wants them to know how
absolutely and completely loved they are by Him. He wants them to know He finds
them worthy: worthy enough to send His only begotten Son to die for them; worthy enough to spend eternity with Him; worthy enough to be called His child; worthy enough to live mightily within them giving them power to live godly
lives. He LOVES women. He knows the best place for the majority of women is in
the home ministering to their husbands and children. He knows this has eternal
significance.
I tried the career path. I tried ruling over my husband. I didn't like it at all. It produced chaos and turmoil in my life. I am thankful I get to be home. I am thankful I was the one who raised my children. I am so thankful I have learned to be a godly, submissive help meet to my husband. Life is SO much better God's ways. Try it. You may find the abundant blessings flowing from doing things God's ways also!
Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men;
and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
I Corinthians 1:25
