In a previous post ( The Holy Bible First in Science ) I endeavored to show that the Bible is relevant, if not completely trustworthy when it comes to science. If the evidence given was not sufficient, or not enough to overcome presupposition and prejudice, I suggest, (Apologetics Press), is a good place to start if you are wanting to be factually convinced. I bring this up to make the point; if the critics of Biblical scripture are wrong about the scientific veracity of the Holy Bible, they could be just as wrong claiming Biblical Christianity is a detriment to the equality of women.
Before I make a Biblical case for gender equality I would like to state why the equality of women is one of the most pressing issues of our time, and a absolute necessity in a free and just society. It was often said in the 1960s; "a society can be judged by it's treatment of it's most disadvantaged citizens". Not only is the equality of women the great civil rights issue of our time, it has been in the past and will be until Jesus returns. The rights of children the elderly the poor and the handicapped are derivatives of women's rights. The political voice of women is essential to arrive at a just and fair foreign and domestic policy. Women and their children are the most adversely affected by war, poverty and the lack of justice.
Many of the problems in the Muslim world could be solved by simply granting women there the basic civil liberties enjoyed by men. Women's equality does not erode religious liberty. When a woman like a man is free to apply her faith to her public conduct, society reaps the benefit. There are vast differences of opinion among both male and females of all faiths on a woman's role in society, the home and the church. The only way to guarantee religious liberty ( which is the foundation of all liberties ) is to give all citizens male and female equal protection under the law and to not prohibit women in any way from participating in secular society, or violating her religious beliefs by being forced to behave in a way that does not recognize the differences in the way God created us.
As a former Protestant Pastor and a person who often attends Catholic services for the peace, beauty and tranquility I find there. I know the arguments claiming the Bible discriminates against women. As a pastor I allowed women to speak in my church and I grappled with the verses commanding men to take that initiative themselves. I was aware of the verses that differentiated the roles in society and worship of the genders. Many had cultural and historical caveats. Others were to address problems between married couples that did not need to be played out in church, and some were to provide order and structure just as is commanded in our duty to secular society.
I do not claim to have a perfect answer for every controversial verse that addresses the difference between male and female. However I know the Bible teaches God is no respecter of persons and the apostles taught that in Christianity there is no male or female, free or slave, Jew or Gentile. Only believers and unbelievers. The apostles also taught men to love and honor their wives. To respect, serve and sacrifice for the women around them. The Bible promotes liberty and justice and to treat all people the way we ourselves want to be treated and the fact is the Bible makes no distinction in this area when it comes to gender.
Historically where ever the Bible is read and revered the plight of women and others has vastly improved. I could give numerous verses and examples from scripture and history that prove Biblical Christianity promotes the equality and liberty of women. I would rather encourage both men and women to seek the God of the Bible and read for themselves how gracious Christ is and how much He cares about the liberty and well being of all people.

Who Shall Dwell On High? He Who Turns His Eyes And Ears From Blood And Evil..
Psalms 11, The Lord tests the righteous; but the wicked and he who loveth violence His soul hateth..
This sobering verse is a warning to us all. For those who are not familiar with the language or the doctrines of the Bible I would like to paraphrase it. God is willing to test, warn and chastise us to remove our love of violence and evil. However those who do not turn from it He will severely judge. What God is talking about here are those who view blood, suffering and brutality as entertainment. He is not talking about acquiring and dressing food. Or those who physically defend others from violence. In my study of scriptures I have found nothing that angers God more or brings His judgement quicker than those who take pleasure in the suffering of others.
Proverbs 4, Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men. For they eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence. Their way is darkness..They can not sleep unless they do mischief..
The Bible teaches the punishment for sin is not immediate. God gives those He warns space to repent. People too often view this delay as unconcern on God's part. If you take pleasure in the sight and sound of the blood and suffering of any of God's creatures. CONSIDER YOURSELF DULY WARNED !!!

Our Duty To Our Fellow Man Is Not To Compel Him, But To Convince Him: The 4th Chapter of Ephesians
The last verse in Ephesians chapter 4 reads; "And be kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake, hath forgiven you". The crux of Christianity rests in the fact that all of us are flawed and in need of redemption. Not a single one of us is perfect. None of us are all knowing or in any manner above reproach. Our first duty to our neighbor and the rest of the world is to quit doing harm.This involves much more than staying out of trouble with the law. It means taming a selfish nature that is quick to ridicule, judge and slander.We are all given to immoral appetites, envy as well as a propensity to get even.
Our first duty is not to get the world to repent; it is to realize our own need for redemption. People of all stripes all over the world can be overcome with shame. We all know we are not what we need to be. It is a miserable state indeed to realize we are inwardly fallible, somewhat corrupt and without self remedy. What often happens to those of us who are unaware of Christ's redemption, or do not take advantage of it if we do know. We in a private misery rehash over and over our mistakes, sins and foolishness. To avoid thinking about them we dive even deeper into sin and destructive behavior, and in an effort to justify ourselves we only focus on the faults and sins of others. It is a vicious cycle that only Christ can break. Even Christians struggle with this.
There are essentially two ways to change the world..Change can come violently with little regard for casualties or collateral damage. It can be forced and demanded of others without any regard for personal liberty, or circumstances.This kind of change is illusive or temporary at best. The alternative is to begin the process of change with oneself. A realization that we are not superior to those we want to change is the first order of business. I know without the intervention of Jesus Christ in my life I have no advantage or worthiness to dictate anything to other people. I was as lost and ignorant as anyone before I repented and was redeemed..So I have no business mistreating or demanding perfection of others. I was not one bit different from anyone else before I submitted to Jesus..
The apostles taught the leadership of the early church to be servants not dictators. They were to lead by example and wisdom, not restraint or threats. They were told to study to show themselves approved ( selected to lead ) and to acquire enough knowledge they would not be put to shame. Our duty as Christians is not to acquire as much power as we can to force others to behave and think like us. Our job and/or duty towards mankind, is to convince them to voluntarily submit themselves to Jesus Christ, and to live by what He taught in the Bible. Not because we say so, or have the power to make them. Because we have lived it ourselves, and the benefit and wisdom of doing so is obvious to others.

The Holy Bible First In Science. This Will Amaze You.
It is widely believed that in Columbus's time most people believed the earth was flat. However almost all, if not all, literate people knew the earth was round. The Greek mathematician Eratosthenes three centuries before Christ had accurately calculated the earth's circumference. It is also commonly believed that the church was the proponent of the flat earth theory. In actuality it was pagan philosophers like Leucippus and Democritus who believed the earth was flat.
The first historical reference to the earth being round is found in the Biblical book of Isaiah 40:22; "It is He ( God ) who sitteth above the circle of the earth". ( written 750 years before Christ and 400 hundred years before Eratosthenes) The Dead Sea Scrolls confirm the age of the book of Isaiah.
Before the telescope it was commonly believed there were just over 1000 stars, because that is what can be counted with the naked eye. However the Bible in the books of Genesis twice, and the books of Jeremiah and Hebrews, tell us the stars are too numerable for one man to count ( It would take 3000 years for one person to count the stars in our galaxy alone)..This was not known until a few hundred years ago.
In ancient times pagans believed the earth was placed on the back of animals or giant men. Until 1887 (Michelson- Morley experiment ) many scientists believed the earth and planets and stars floated in ether. The book of Job is believed to be the oldest book of the Bible, predating Abraham; it states in Job 26:7, "He (God) hangs the earth on nothing"..
The fact that the sun moved and had an orbit was not known until recently. The Passage in Psalm 19 where King David poetically described the circuit of the sun was scoffed at. We now know the sun travels this circuit ( orbit ) at 600,000 miles per hour.
The Conservation Of Mass And Energy
The First Law Of Thermodynamics: (Paraphrase) There is a finite amount of matter in the universe no more can be produced and none can be destroyed.... Genesis tells us after creation, ch.2, "Thus the heavens and earth were finished and all the host of them"..There is no more creation or destruction of matter going on..
The Second Law Of Thermodynamics. (What Einstein called, the premier law of science.) All systems ( organization of matter) degenerates from order to disorder..In other words at the beginning the universe was at the height of perfection and has been deteriorating since. This is exactly what the Bible teaches.
Isaiah 51:6, For the heavens will vanish away like smoke, the earth will grow old like a garment.
Hebrews 1:10-11 Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands. They shall perish, but thou remainest; and they shall all wax old as doth a garment"...
The Bible was the first to accurately describe ocean currents, the hydrological cycle and the atmosphere. I hope to expound on these and give many more examples in future posts.

The Fear of God Is The Beginning Of Wisdom....Is There Historical Proof ?
If the Bible is correct and all good and useful thought and/or wisdom is a product of acknowledging the God of the Bible; while denying the Biblical God exists, is the foundation of all that is foolish and harmful to mankind. There should be be historical evidence. So I set about researching whether these Biblical maxims would hold up historically. To my amazement they did. And not just in a small insignificant way. Throughout history great moral leaps made in the advancement of human society were in direct correlation with the faithfulness of individual believers in the Bible's God, and the Bible's teachings. Conversely when people in large numbers follow those who have claimed the God of the Bible and His laws are irrelevant to modern man . Great suffering and violence has ensued.
I have found in my research a very real pattern. The great injustices visited upon mankind, whether from religious or secular sources were perpetuated by those in denial of the Biblical God or those who acted in opposition to the principles taught by Him in the Bible. Often the greatest harm was done by those who believed themselves wiser and more just than the Biblical God. Not only what was historically foolish had it's origins in unbelief, but what was historically violent ,cruel and inhumane as well. Doubters will want examples. Believe me they are plentiful. I will begin by looking at what religions were like before Abraham and Moses.
Before Abraham expounded upon his knowledge of God, and before Moses wrote down in scripture the character and expectations of the Bible's Creator God. Man's attempt at replacing the true God was nothing more than carving images out of inert material; then falling down and worshiping them. There was no set principles or code of conduct that transcended those who held power. Human sacrifice was the norm and it often involved children. Those who controlled what was worshiped could engage in any kind of cruel behavior or any sexual activity with who, or what, whenever they wanted. Whether it was consensual or not mattered little. Many who held power made themselves god and decided for everyone else what attributes and limits their man made god would have.
The Roman empire with it's many false deities epitomized the cruelty of pagan society. Animals and humans alike were tortured and killed for amusement. The empire had many more slaves than freemen. Criminals were tortured and executed publicly. Gladiators were forced to butcher each other for sport in front of thousands.Caesars declared themselves deity and demanded to be worshiped at the penalty of death. This went on for centuries until Christian martyrs like Telemachus and Ignatius cried out against the barbarity. Early church leaders like the apostles Paul and Peter taught that all people, Jew and gentile, male and female, slave and free were equal in the sight of God. Slaves of all races were treated as equals and could hold positions of authority in Christian churches. Although both Peter and Paul were martyred by the Roman pagans.This was the beginning of the end of Roman savagery and slavery.
It is true there has been and always will be those who call themselves Christian who like pagans and atheists ignore the God of the Bible, and His moral precepts. There are also many examples of Christians who by sticking to, and advocating for the Biblical worship of God, have changed and transformed nations. What ails mankind does not have its origin in the fear of the God or the Bible. What has caused mankind the most distress can be laid at the feet of those who in callous indifference ignored God and the admonitions given to us in the Bible. History is full of examples of what happens when man chooses either to ignore, or chooses to obey the God of the Bible.
While Voltaire and Diderot in their atheism laid the foundation for the guillotine and the blood bath known as the French revolution. The Rev. George Whitefield and Rev.John Wesley laid the foundations of American liberty in the colonies. While the Christian founding fathers of America such as Benjamin Rush and John Adams were trying to secure a just and fair liberty for all people. Atheists like Robespierre and Saint-Just were murdering thousands in France.
At the same time Christian abolitionists like William Wilberforce and Abraham Lincoln used the Bible to help set men free. Atheists Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels were laying the foundation of communism. It would enslave, starve and murder millions. While atheists Charles Darwin and Charles Lyell laid the foundations of atheistic materialism that eventually Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Castro and Pol Pot along with many other secular despots would build on. Devout Christians like Faraday, Mendel, Maxwell and Pasteur were laying the foundations of modern science, physics and medicine.
While the Christian pro-life feminist and abolitionist Susan B Anthony was championing the cause of equality for blacks and women, in society, politics and the courts. The atheist and socialist Margaret Sanger was laying the foundation of Planned Parenthood which is today responsible for the deaths of millions of innocent unborn children.
Atheists and pagans can mimic Biblical Christianity and often do in societies with Biblical origins.They will even claim the Bibles teachings on such things as justice and liberty are their own. However, when they really do go off on their own in rebellion and pretend they know more and better than the Biblical God. History is proof, they cause nothing but death and misery for the rest of mankind.
The fear of Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction. Proverbs 1:7
The fool hath said in his heart , there is no God. They are corrupt and can do no good. Psalms 14:1

Darwin's Sword Of Damocles
What a fortress ye have built around a wee ragged hair.
A great sword dangles from it; O my such a tiny thread.
I have heard and weighed thy argument, in order to be fair.
Science is thy enemy. Truth is what swings o'er thy head.
A single strand for decades hath kept the truth at bay.
A fortress built around it keeps science outside the wall.
The bricks made of dogma are theories as pliable as clay.
Science in time will scale them, then the sword shall fall.
The tiny cord must be guarded from knowledge and the light.
Only sworn allegiance to protect and promote thy single hair.
Allows one to sit beneath the sword to join the lofty rite.
After all, science can not be free to seek the truth just anywhere.
It must be chained outside, and used to guard arguments as thin as air.

Rattle Thy Sacred Bones
O how history's tide of knaves mar truth's pristine shore.
Look up ye fool, your ditch is not wisdom's hoary peak.
In thy squalid hole Darwin is king, and God is no more.
Shut thy eyes, plug thy ears, lest ye learn thy mind be weak.
Scratch the dirt, sift the dust for that illusive perfect bone.
Perhaps it shall be thy comfort when misery and death doth appear.
Children look proof ! When all fails why pray for we are all alone.
Who needs God! Thou hast monkey bones, no need for thee to fear.
O ye blind ones, hide thy tawdry ignorance behind a fossil curtain.
Claim any that disagree are fools to question such perfect reason.
Science stop! Forsake reason, prohibit doubt, it is settled, it is certain!
We are descendants of apes there is no other view, if so it is treason!
Like thugs ye roam the halls of learning, looking for dissent.
Scholar beware! There is no room here for you to question!
Spread not thy hope; nor rebellion against our king foment.
Our mind is made, no new science, evidence shall we shun.
O ye unbelievers thy king Darwin is powerless, rotting in a booth.
Our God is, and shall avenge us, for our children ye have stole away.
He sees thee mocking, rattling your sacred bones, calling our youth.
Ye say; except for fools, all believe like me, there be no other way.
Save thy glib smile, your callous wink and thy pat on my ignorant head.
Scholarship hath brought me here, honest study, hard work and sweat.
Jaundiced eyes have led you to a doctrine, that like it's king is dead.
Truth it's corpse shall bury, when honest science and public hath met.
When evolution's absurdities and hoaxes alas meet the glaring light.
It's priests shall scream and curse our God. O but it will be too late.
Without politics and courts to quell the truth, how then shall they fight?
Truth shall set science free, while shame falls upon the scoffer's pate.
