I agree with Selwyn when he states: “Perhaps no subject raises so much argument as that of the relationship between men and women.”
He also makes the important point that those who quarrel with the teaching concerning the equality of men and women are arguing with God. Men and women are equal in God’s eyes – and, He has given to each, their own role – their own set of responsibilities – there are different roles – but equal in status.
Who, in their right mind, would dare shout out to God – that one role is superior and the other inferior? Sadly, many men have bought condemnation upon themselves by treating women as some type of possession, with no rights. These men will find to their dismay; just how wrong they are when they give an account of their actions, to our Almighty God.
Romans 11:33-36 (NLT): “Oh, how great are God’s riches and wisdom and knowledge! How impossible it is for us to understand his decisions and his ways!
For who can know the Lord’s thoughts? Who knows enough to give him advice? And who has given him so much that he needs to pay it back?
For everything comes from him and exists by his power and is intended for his glory. All glory to him forever! Amen.”
Who wants to quarrel with God?
