Les Feldick Bible Study

Did God favor men over women in the Old Testament?

No blanket favoritism is taught; though some areas may appear partial toward men, God still used women, and women were included in Israel's offerings and service. The Bible is not anti-feminist, and Christianity is presented as the greatest feminist movement.

Les explains that many people get the idea God is a little partial toward men, especially in the Old Testament, and maybe in some areas He was, but God still used women. In the passage, both men and women came willingly and brought offerings of gold, cloth, and other materials, and the wise-hearted women spun with their hands. Les also notes that Paul was not anti-feminist; the last chapter of Romans names woman after woman who helped in his ministry. The Bible is not anti-feminist, and Christianity is called the greatest feminist movement that ever hit the human race.

Exodus 35:25

And all the women that were wise hearted did spin with their hands, and brought that which they had spun, both of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine linen.
