The role of women in society and the church

The role of women in point and the churchIntroductionI am going to discuss the role of women in the church and contentious issues, particularly when the transportation systems such as 1 Timothy 211-14, and 1 Corinthians 1334 talk about women should be taciturn in church. And slightly discuss the women in the society.The Role of Women in the SocietyWomen in the modern societyWomen today be coming forth in modern social trends. This feminism may appear too extreme and rather threatening to the male ego, yet the role of women in current society has drastically changed. Perhaps there is some explanation for their actions. Women argon now regularly performing duties that were traditionally as pre referenceed to males. They are attempting to fight the continuing assort established during the earlier part of the century. The pretty date of the perfect fifties wife is rapidly evolving into a more suitable projection to accommodate their natural role in todays society.More than two ge nerations ago, a girl was expected to abandon her academic pursuits and assume the role of a housewife. She would completely devote herself to the deliverance of the female-oriented position of base of operations fare uponr. As time has progressed, fluctuations in the economy pay made it necessary for a char to obtain a career in order to fit in the society.Strange as it may seem, the family roles build non changed much in todays society. While girls and women (not only Polish) have more opportunities in home based employment, the traditional roles of women are still quite evident. They are still the caring provider and nurturer of young infants and children, the comforter for the crying child and the feminine battlefront of the household. While the husbands role has diversified into more household chores and the cooking and cleaning up responsibilities, they are still considered the head of the household. In the absence of the man, can the woman really be uniform the man? I think yes. There are women who are capable in finance, Do-It-Yourself fixtures and fittings, even being a capable single parent and bread winner. In this respect, women forget have to be like the man. Of course, the woman cannot match the physical strength of the man. The other opinion of thinking like the man is a definite no. This is through experience. Women generally look at the details and forget about the overall picture. They have the capability of juggling more than one issue at a time unlike the man. And she is more tempered to her feelings. And because of this, the focus is not there to make a sound judgment. manpower on the other hand, are more focus and look at one thing at a time. They are less prone to feelings and therefore they are better at seeing the overall picture. I think for this division, a man balances up the woman and immorality versa.If we look at the example of a family with the wife who tries to be like the man, we have a situation where the roles are different now, because of the presence of the man. Man, no matter how gifted or ungifted have a certain ability to say that he is the man in the house. And for the wife to usurp his position there result be certain unrest in the overall affinity. This may not be currently evident but it will become an issue at a later stage. Subtle hints are al authoritys there and if the wife chooses not to suspect or confront the situation, it will lead to a crisis.Men and Women in Worship.I will begin by what capital of Minnesota stated concerning men and women in worship that men should adopt a respectful posture as they pray and also women should pray with an altitude of respect, just like men. It might be a different thing in that church which Paul was addressing. Women face particular problem, in that it is easy for them to become preoccupied with their appearance and with looks that take time to achieve. Its true that Descent and Honorable behave matters farthest more to God than jewe ls and expensive clothes. Beside if Christian women who posses Gods worship are too concerned about their external appearance they will forget the essential and will have neither the time of doing good deed.Its important to emphasize that Paul was not forbidding beautiful jewelry or lovely copper styles to all Christian women of all time was warning against becoming so attached to clothes and fashions and forgets the most important thing that is pleasing God by doing good deeds.Paul Advice Women to Be Quite During TeachingsThis advice has raised much debate among Christians in Africa, especially since the raise of feminist theology that asserts among other things, the right of women demonstrate themselves. Certain versions of the Bible have tried to get to get around the problem of translating 211 in a more acceptable way while still being true in the spirit of the text. The massage translates this as i dont let women to take over and tell men what to do. This variant assume tha t Paul give this advice because women were talking positions of authority and even of dominance over men, which was unacceptable in the culture of that day. The requirement for silence in companionship with teaching may also indicate that the women were talkative during time of teaching and worship.Paul advice women to be silence not because of inferior, but as a sign of their submission to men and of acknowledgment of mens authority. They will then be obeying the Oder that God established at creation. In applying this instruction in Kenya today, we need to think cautiously about how women express their submission to authorities and to men.THE ROLES OF WOMEN IN CHURCH IN KENYA TODAYThe role of women in the church is a contentious issue, particularly when passage 1 Timothy 211-14 is a regarded as laying down absolute rather than general principles within a particular culture. The focus should fall on the biblical call for all human beings to decern what is the will of God in their l ive ( roman 122) Jesus radical mission of variety for liberation. Means that women and men are equally called and empowered to participate in the same mission in the church. What women and men do depends on our obedience to the counseling and empowerment of the Holy spirit.Because of the entrenched culture and sexist attitude and practices, and the male-dominated leadership in many of the churches especially in the Maasai land, women in Kenya church have slender and prophetic role to play in stirring waters and speaking the truth by asserting their God given humanity and gift not for their own sake of integrity of the gospel. many women in Kenya church have continue to claim their full potential and have taken leading roles. like the Samaritan woman ( John 41-42) when women in the Kenya church drink the water offered by Jesus, they go out to witness and spread the word of truth in their homes, villages, communities and churches with determination, boldness, courage and humilit y. for example the like of Teresia Wairimu, Esther Obasike, Bishop Magret Wajiru and many of great women of God which some have founded churches , preached, taught christian theology seminary schools and translated scripture into different languages in Kenya.Where the church have listen the voice of the Holy Spirit , they have realize that scripture grant women a place in all ministries of the church. And women have been rightly ordeined to deal in all ministries of the church.ConclusionA careful examination of the Bible will yield an understanding of Gods intent for women and men to be full and equal partners to serve and worship Him. Perhaps the easiest point to make and understand is that there are many biblical examples of women leaders. The following women were divinely called to lead, were sustain by their religious communities, and were specifically recorded in scripture as part of Gods revealed truth. A few examplesMiriam prophet played major(ip) role in Exodus led worshi p singing and dancing.Deborah prophet judge led Israeli troops into battle with BarakLydia business woman who became a central leader in the Philippian ChurchPriscilla helped Paul establish churches at Corinth and Ephesus corrected Apollos preachingPhoebe deacon commended by Paul for her attend to the churchIf by name God created women not to be leaders, then he would be going against his own order and intent to place women in leadership but God does not violate His own design.In the beginning humans were created male and female in equality and partnership reflecting the image of God both individually and together as a plural unit. The sequence of creation does not signify importance or superiority. Adam is not superior because he is first Eve is not the new and improved model. Instead, Eve is called Adams helper. The word helper, however, is not used as an indication of rank as in a boss and an assistant. The Hebrew word is ezer and is also used to describe God by Moses in Ex odus 184 when he says, My fathers God was my helper he saved me from the sword of Pharaoh. Since God is called a helper also, we need to maintain the accredited elevated biblical definition of this word, and not submit to a culturally lowered interpretation in our understanding of Gods creation designAdam and Eve are both punished for disobeying God. One of the consequences of Eves sin was a distorted relationship with Adam. However, God in his forgiveness promised a reversal of the fall and restored divine and human relations through Jesus Christ.Restoration in Salvation Salvation through Christ reverses or removes the punishment of judgment. Individuals are restored to a relationship with God. While we live in a world where the effects of sin are still playing out, believers are now members of the Kingdom of God where equality in him is restored. But even before Christ, faithful women were already filling places of leadership indicating that ones relationship with God has an imp act that brings about a change on the judgment meted out at the fall.Refrence list1 The Bible2 http//www.gci.org/church/ministry/women6b4.Sanley J.
