Is God partial toward men in the Old Testament?
Scripture indicates that while God may have been partial toward men in some areas of the Old Testament, He still used women. In the account, both men and women brought willing offerings, and wise-hearted women spun with their hands. The Bible is not anti-feminist, and Christianity became the greatest feminist movement.
Les explains that many people get the idea God is a little partial toward men, especially in the Old Testament. He acknowledges that maybe in some areas He was, but God still used women. After Israel's sin with the golden calf and cleansing, both men and women who were willing-hearted brought bracelets, earrings, rings, tablets, jewels of gold, and various cloths as offerings. Les also points out that all the women who were wise-hearted spun with their hands. He then argues the Bible is not anti-feminist, citing the last chapter of Romans where Paul names woman after woman who was part and parcel of his ministry. Les even says Christianity was the greatest feminist movement that ever hit the human race.
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.
