Please do not hesitate to share this if any of you know a "Christian" male-chauvinist:
Gen2:18 describes woman as "help meet for man." The Hebrew here indicates two separate ideas: 1) helper["עזר" {‛êzer/H5828}] -and- 2) meet for man. "Meet for man" is the single Hebrew word "נגד" [neged/H5048] and indicates something parallel/side-by-side; in this case, implied EQUALITY. God created woman to be a companion of man's equal. The fall never diminished women's equality with men. In the NT, Paul addresses certain "roles" assigned to men which result in greater responsibly; not greater "rank." Bear in mind, that Scripture reveals that the woman was "deceived"... Adam was *NOT* deceived when he sinned against God{1Tim2:14} -e.g. Adam knew he was disobeying God... Now is that something to lord over women?
To see a one-on-one dialogue I had with a "male chauvinist" I invite the reader to read my previous blog:
