women have been sold a bill of goods and been corrupted beyond measure by this world.
here is the kind of woman that the lord can honour:
Ruth
14 And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her.
15 And she said, Behold, thy sister in law is gone back unto her people, and unto her gods: return thou after thy sister in law.
16 And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God:
17 Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the Lord do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me.
men too for that matter:
Malachi 3:5
And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts.
Psalm 15
King James Version (KJV)
15 Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.
3 He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.
4 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the Lord. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.
5 He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.
God is male and female.
Women were the last ones standing, wittnessing, the crucifixtion of Christ
And women were the first ones to see Jesus Christ resurrected from the dead.
Luther, Calvin, Zwigli and others started the Reformation after a few chauvanistic popes created heretical doctrine regarding women.
The church like any other good organization must be on the watch and alert to crooks who infiltrate the church and try to corrupt the messages.
The devil knows and quotes scripture, that does not make the devil good.
Matt 7:15-16 Beware of false prophets who come to you dressed in sheeps clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves 16 You will know them by their fruits.
No fruits = No goodRotten Fruits = Fermented, alcohol, producers of evil = No good.
Good Fruits = Bounty, abundance, harvest, many blessings, produce is good = Good.
