In Genesis , God "made" woman. God made woman for certain purposes. One, is "unity"
She was "made" to be a "helpmate"
She was not made to lead !
How God "made" a woman , is key throughout the scriptures.
A true woman of God, will "be" what God has "made her. A false or decieved woman, will "be" other than what God made her for.
God created and made Man. God created Man in the image of God. God made man from the dust of the earth.
A true man of God , will "be" what God has made and created him to be. In his house and within the church.
IN Christ, there is neither male nor female, but the "body" of Christ is the female, and "must" "be" an example of the female that God made her. A woman can rule over another woman. A woman is to be a "helpmate" , both in her marriage and in the Church of Christ (building). She is to submit unto Christ, which is her head - IN Christ (the body).
Throughout the scriptures, we see God using woman/women for his purposes. Always, God uses woman/women for the "purpose" he made a woman !
God would "never" ask a woman to "be" what he did not "make" her to be !
It would be like asking a horse to "be" a bird. Asking the horse to fly, which is impracticable.
Throughout scripture, God used a woman in the way in which God "made" a woman. Never does God ask her to be other than what he made her to be.
Esther is an excellent example
Sarah is another great example
The prophetess Deborah is another great example
The prophetess Miriam is another great example
The prophetss Anna is another great example
The Revealed mystery - "the body of Christ' the wife to Christ - is just another great example.
The Jerusalem above , is another great example.
God calls out women, and these women are great women and they set an example for other women to follow !
Even Mary, the mother of our Lord Jesus Christ, is just another great example. Her submission unto the Holy Spirit - "Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word" < Submission - handmaid - helpmate - surragote
Elisabeth who brought forth John the baptist , spoke unto Mary - Luke 1:41 - "And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. < This shows us, that Elisabeth was a prophetess, who spoke unto Mary. But also notice, that God used her to "repeat" that which the "angel" had already spoken. The angel was male gender, who brought forth the message to Mary, and Mary spoke to Elisabeth of this. The words Elisabeth spoke were the words of the angel. Verse 42 - "And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb" < The "blessing" was given unto another woman. The blessing was words of comfort and exhortation and edification. The words "were" the words of a prophetess. God called out Elisabeth , a woman, to bring forth a blessing unto Mary.
Throughout scripture, God uses women/woman, and God uses them in the manner in which he "made" them.
God "never" uses a woman in any other way ! Never ! This is not belittling women. It is the truth, and it is how and for what, and why God made a woman. A woman plays a role, and that role is a "helpmate", either of her husband or a man of God, or God himself.
I only touched on some of the women in the Word of God. But remember this, there are women who do not want to play the role by which God "made" them. These women are either deceived, or are not working for the one true God.
The Word of God did not come out of a woman, but unto them only !
It was the "will of God", and he changes not !
