Feminism In The Bible

Feminism In The Bible

Not everyone abides by these teachings of the bible; some may and some may not, that is up to them. However, the question is , if religion is not providing the essentials to ones human’s rights, why follow it?


"It is a disgrace to be the father of an undisciplined son, and the birth of a daughter is a loss."  (NRSV, Sirach 22:3)


"The shame of a father is of a son unlearned; but a fond daughter shall be in decreasing of the honour of father and mother. " (WYC, Sirach 22:3)


Not only is this considered misogynistic. 

Human rights are an essential to human survival. The Charter of United Nations, the international bill of human rights, the universal declaration of humans rights are documentations from the past that have been established to organise human behaviour. Many religious scriptures have also been revealed in the past that express the importance of human rights and the importance of protecting our rights as well as others. However, there have been documentations in the past that have influenced individuals to act otherwise, to be coercive against one another, violating essentials of human rights, such as the Bible. In the recent millennia, the topic of women’s human rights has had an uproar in our society. 

 According to The New Testament which many resort to, it states the following: 
 "Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression." (1 Timothy 2:11-14)


It reads that they should not even teach. But to be in silence with all subjection. That how they are all to blame for Adam being deceived from the early beginnings. This kind of behaviour is what has lead to the oppression of women throughout the early beginnings of their existence. This brute-like and narrow minded logic will only created chaos and disaster. Not only that, but it is also insensitive even for a God such as Jesus. 

 Christians, in order to adapt to "modern" day principles may assert "This was the knowledge of old, women are now advanced and they have different rights." 

 However, this verse is not indicating the knowledge of the previous civilizations. It was an order to them from their Lord and saviour. A law that should be carried through from generation to generation. An explicitly described rule. These women are our mothers, sisters and wives. They are not one to be blamed for the sins of Eve. Not only is it unfair but it is also Unbiblical ! 
– “The person who sins is the one who will pass away. The child will not be punished for the parent’s sins, and the parent will not be punished for the child’s sins. Righteous people will be rewarded for their own righteous behavior, and wicked people will be punished for their own wickedness.” (Ezekiel 18:20)

– “Fathers shall not (pass away)  because of their children, nor shall children be (pass away)  because of their fathers. Each one shall (pass away) for his own sin.” (Deuteronomy 24:16)

– “But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.”  ( Jeremiah 31:30)

It is ironic how The Biblical scripture manages to contradict the alleged beginning of mankind. Therefore, their argument about women attaining a lower rank of their counterparts due to Eve's mistake is a baseless objection. 

 In Conclusion: 

Many individuals have realised the past lack of inclusiveness, which can be seen from scripters in the Bible. In biblical literature, women…(Are a loss - Sirach 22:3).

Ants Have No Commander?

Ants Have No Commander? Although ants are frustrating when they get into your home or  when you’re having a picnic, ants do help the environment. They are social insects, which means they live in large colonies or groups. Depending on the species, ant colonies can consist of millions of ants. There are three kinds of ants in a colony: The queen, the female workers, and males. The queen and the males have wings, while the workers don’t have wings.   I n The Bible, it asserts that ants have no commander, no overseer or ruler. Despite ants having ant farms where they form a myriad of colonies. “Go to the ant, you sluggard;   consider its ways and be wise!   It has no commander no overseer or ruler    yet it stores its provisions in summer   and gathers its food at harvest.” (Proverbs 6:6:8) According to the Oxford Dictionary, Command is:  Have authority over; be in charge of (a unit) Ants form   colonies   that range in size from a few dozen predatory individuals living

Bible Scholars Admit Errors

Bible Scholars Admit Errors In the beginning of The King James Version of the Bible, there is an interesting citation by the authors of the edition. the original source of the Bible. Both the Old and New Testaments have been lost. In layman's terms, they are an abundance of ancient books that do not seem to agree with each other. Here, an intriguing note will be shared from The Revised Standard Version of the Bible itself, this note can be found in the authorized edition, published over a hundred years ago. This could be found in any library. Here we will share some of what it has stated.   "The King James Version has with good reason been termed 'the noblest monument of English prose.' Its revisers in 1881 expressed admiration of 'its simplicity, its dignity, its power, its happy turns of express... the music of its cadences, and the felicities of its rhythm.' It entered, as no other book has, into the making of the personal character and the public i

How Old Was Ahaziah?

How Old Was Ahaziah?  If you are still not convinced about the inconsistency regarding the bible’s corruption, maybe this could give you a little hint. In order to cover a contradiction in the bible, the translators will resort to lying. But truth will always stand out from faulty. So now to the question, Was Ahaziah 22 or 42 when he became king? “Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem one year. His mother's name was Athaliah, a granddaughter of Omri.” (2 Chronicles 22) “Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem one year. His mother's name was Athaliah, a granddaughter of Omri king of Israel.” (2 Kings 8:26) As a matter of fact, let’s take a further look at several of the translations of 2 Chronicles 22. (see here) At face value, it seems to be splendid.  On the contrary, you will be in for a rude awakening.  Both chapters and translations say twenty-two years old. Yet wh
