We know that many may refuse to acknowledge the Scripture says about the proper, God-given, Roles or Position of the woman (and the man). Of course, we are speaking particularly of the Christian woman but what we say would be true of all woman for all women have been created by God!

We know that God says that the man is the “head” of a woman (see 1 Corinthians 11:3), although we know that many (shall we say 99% of women) may deny this. This is reflected in many ways. For example, instead of woman having higher education from the 9th grade or even the 12th grade in high school, we realize that there are more woman going on to college and graduating from college these days. Of course, if a woman is not to have higher education, we wonder why they go on to college!

Another factor worth noting is that a woman is to dress modestly and appropriately at all times. Even if 95% to 99% of women refuse to obey this, we know that it is true and should be obeyed. See particularly 1 Timothy 2:9-15. We might also consult with 1 Peter 3:3-4. From this scripture (that has been given by God Himself), we can see that a woman is to dress becomingly, not provocatively, and with a wholesome demeanor, but is this something that most women do? You know the answer.

Of course, again in 1 Timothy 2:9-15 we can see that feminism is a product of Satanic influence for it is absolutely wrong, And we know that probably most women (I wonder what the percentage might be?) refuse to obey this and insist on a feministic perspective. In other words, instead of a woman allowing the man to take the lead, she takes the lead herself. She is the leader. She is the “head” and the feminist lead.

So whether we are referring to a woman being the “head” or the “leader” or the educational head or the provocative person who woos the man with her clothes or the feminist leader who should take her role as submissive helper to assume that role of the obedient woman, we know that she is not taking her God-given and rightful place in society.

The woman is to be a child-nurturer and one who bears the children, of whom there are to be many (but now many women refuse to take on this role and think that they can take a non-child role). And, of course, men are also at fault and worthy of blame themselves, but here we are focusing on the woman.

We know that the modern woman is out of bounds and away from her God-given position. It is not something that a woman should at all do but it is surely something that most women do. Whether we are speaking of 5 or 10 or 1% of women who take her God-given position seriously, we know that most simply refuse to obey God in this matter.

Are you a woman? (Or, are you a man, a male?) Do you take your position rightly and do you recognize this as a God-honoring role? Yes, the world considers this demeaning. Yes, we know that the world considers this as a humbling position. But it is something that God considers exalting. If you (as a woman) have a godly man as a husband, you recognize this—even if the world rejects it. Isn’t this true!
