Status Updates From Tell Her Story: How Women L...

Again, is should reshape how we think about first-centruy christianity when we consider that the only named person we know from the Laodicean community is a woma, Nympha. This offers yet another reminder that ministry leadership in the apostolic period was not a man's job. People. both women and men, of skill and gifting,...were called on the care for the poeple of God in Jesus Christ ♥♥♥♥♥

???? 🤔 Patriarchal societies subordinated women and called it the natural order and the church went along with it.🤔?????

honest question:Did God really design women to be permanently subordinate or did the church mistake cultural norms and patriarchal philosophy for divine order? culture influence?

Jesus empowered women♥ ....Ignoring customs that forbade women from studying the Torah, Jesus taught women, such as Mary of Bethany, whom he honored for choosing to learn rather than just serve.....♥

helper = ezer in Hebrew.
ezer is an generic term that refers to someone who contribues to completing a task or accomplishing a goal.....

Okay but HOW is this the first time I'm seeing ANYONE in Protestantism focus on the role of Mary, mother of God during Jesus' ministry and providing continuity for the church after his death.

Okay this nuanced take on women in the Roman Empire is what I needed, thank you (I never believed the "ACTUALLY women in ancient Rome did LOTS of things" take. Like yes I'm sure they did but was it allowed?). Also was no one going to tell me that women in the Jewish diaspora acted as synagogue leaders???

Can't believe this is the first time I've ever heard anyone point out that the Old Testament judge Deborah is the only judge in the book of Judges about whom nothing, not a single discreditable thing, is recorded.
