Equality Between Men and Women

The Doctrine of Imago Dei teaches us that men and women are equal and different but most importantly that they were created in the image of God.

I have heard the famous bible teacher of the 16th century, John Calvin, explain the image of God along with the plight of man's depravity as a broken mirror: we are able to reflect God's "image" but in a shattered form.

Think back to Genesis when God created our first parents. God clearly made men and women equal, but different. When we look at a man and then we look at a women we see they are different. The latter being the choice to look at for all man kind. However, this concept is not understood in modern day America.

With the rise of feminism outsiders to Christianity are unable to see that men and women have different roles, responsibilities, and functions that are not just clearly seen physically, but clearly visible in scripture. Men and women are different.

Men, in general, will always maintain there physical advantage over women. But that role is not placed there to allow for violence. Man's strength is to protect women and children.

Where are the men?
Where are the women?
