Changes

 {{stub}} Early Christianity was marked by the elevation of women by [[Jesus]]' impartiality and [[apostle Paul|Paul]]'s words, "In Christ there is neither male nor female" ([[Galatians 3:28]])." However, Western culture has generally caught up with [[New Testament]] teaching regarding equality and in some cases goes farther than the teachings of the [[church]] at large. Some Christians oppose this apparent secular intrusion, while other Christians believe the church succumbed to historical sexism and no longer teaches God's original equality. The issue is often muddied by being conflated with [[homosexuality]] and gay rights.

Some of the issues in the Bible Biblical statements concerning women include:* God's Law of Marriage - in [[Genesis 2:24 ]] - "A man will leave his family . . ."* Eve Controversey - Genesis 3 - Controversy about Eve's Rolein [[Genesis 3]]* Woman being created from Adam's Rib - ([[Genesis 3:21]] -[[Genesis 3:22 - Adam's Rib]])* [[Head Coverings]] - ([[1 Corinthians 11:2]] -[[1 Corinthians 11:16 ]]) - Women must cover their headwhen praying or prophesying* Women Keep Silent - must keep silent during church services ([[1 Corinthians 14:34 - "Women must keep silent . . ."]])* Paul's Word instructions to Timothy - ([[1 Timothy 2:8]] -[[1 Timothy 2:15 - Paul's words to Timothy]])* Submission in Marriage - ([[Ephesians 5:21]] -[[Ephesians 5:33 - Submission in marriage]])
