Relegating women to second-class citizenship was abolished when Jesus died on the cross.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Women have the same privileges and opportunities as men, given the New Testament. Relegating women to second-class citizenship was abolished when Jesus died on the cross.
It is only in the fundamentalist religions that women are relegated to second class. Radical Evangelicals, Muslims, and Jews all have the same view of women.
Women have the same privileges and opportunities as men, given the New Testament.
There's no such thing as second class citizenship. That's like telling me you can be a little bit pregnant.
I believe there is complete equality between men and women. And I believe those passages in the New Testament, not by Jesus, but by Paul, that say women should not adorn themselves, they should always wear hats or color their hair in church - things like that - I think they are signs of the times and should not apply to modern-day life.
The laws given on Mount Sinai for the government of man and woman were equal; the precepts of Jesus make no distinction.
Jesus is why women have traveled continents, spent decades learning a strange language so they could translate the Gospel, planting churches, caring for the sick, educating the illiterate, and marching for the oppressed.
No longer should women be denied the right to vote, no longer should women be treated as second class citizens, no longer should women not be allowed to be a citizen at all.
Tremendous changes are taking place in our country, eradicating the concept of second-class citizenship.
Women are still second-class citizens.
