I was on a political site yesterday where something said by Billy Graham's daughter was being discussed, and two posts were made that I think show a big lie being perpetrated on the ignorant by those who hate God's Word. Here they are, copied and pasted:
"The bible is clear on the matter. Man > Women. ""Let the women 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." (I Timothy 2:11-14). But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God." (I Corinthians 11:3). "For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man." (I Corinthians 11:8-9)""
"According to her religion, she is a woman and therefore has nothing to say. She needs to learn to be subservient and silent. Pray us back to the good old days so you can be chattel and we won't have to listen to your fear mongering dribble."
My response was that while the Bible is not consistent with feminism, it does tell us that a man should love his wife like Christ loved the church, and Christ died for the church, which shows great love. And when you look at how women are treated in Christian cultures compared to other cultures, it's clear that women are not treated like property. My question is, might there be a better response that I haven't thought of? This is a common theme used to drive people away from believing God's Word and it's good to have a good response to it.
This is the site by the way:
