Women created to serve men? (Christianity)

Question

I’m utterly confused by this. I’m not an active feminist and disagree with a number of things a lot of them agree with, by stereotype, but is it true that in Christianity, women are inferior to men? This questions arises from a previous conversation I had with my mother, a little bothersome. She believes a woman belongs in the kitchen... I wanted and began to say that seems a little unfair, wrong, unnecessarily restrictive. We’re a Christian family and she fought back with, it says it the Bible that women are meant to serve men. I don’t read the Bible as often as I should (NIV) is this true?

Answer

Woman weren’t meant to serve men, we were created to help them but not serve them. In fact Genesis 2:18 (NIV) says that the woman was maybe to help the man. In my bible version it says women were made to help and as a complement to. The word complement in Hebrew can be rendered “complement” or “a help corresponding to” man. So no women weren’t meant to serve men. Christian teaching teaches that women should respect their husband and that men should love and treat their wives the same way they love and treat themselves. There is an example of a capable wife in proverbs chapter 31 that is kind of like what you said your mom said about women’s role, she was recognized for her part of help in the family. God sees women like the one mentioned in proverbs as respected, appreciated, and trusted. Women are supposed to be honored as said 1 peter 3:7, meaning that husbands should value, respect, cherish, and love her not humiliating her, bringing her down or treat her violently. So no women aren’t just mere showpieces. And we can see how God and Jesus view us and how we’re suppose to be treated.

Answer

No. Jesus loved women so much and treated them with the utmost respect. His human disciples looked down at women, but Jesus, God's son, did not. Women were created to do everything men can't, and men were created to do everything men can't. The whole women were created to serve men thing was human made. Many human men thought that, but Jesus didn't.

Answer

No woman was made to serve man. All people were created for the glory of God. We're all supposed to help each other, not one gender taking care of the other.

Answer

We were made to be us. Sure, we can help a guy if he needs it, but no more than he helps us. We are independent like men and don’t belong in a kitchen, we belong out in the world and make the absolute most of the lives God has given us. Even if you dont get married. Even if you dont have children. Even if you may not go to church every sunday, so long as you take a moment of your day to appreciate what the Lord has given you. Life. And it is made to be lived.
