Does God Really Love Women More? by bukatyne(f): 1:17pm On May 24, 2017
It is a very common saying that God loves women more that's why He would answer their prayers more and we have many sayings to that effect: Power of a praying wife; the efficacy of a mother's prayers etc.

Even pastors say a mother's and wife's prayers are the most effective over a man etc.

Some women even opine that God doesn't like to see women sad. ..

My question?
Is this true? Does it hold water?

Correct stand:
I have not seen any evidence that God loves women more from the Bible, would answer them 'faster' or have more 'compassion' on them.

I think it is a consolation line for them lipsrsealed

So let's discuss.

And no insults abeg.

its not worth discussing cos you are not using scriptures...
here see what God says:
Galatians 3:28(AMP)

28 There is [now no distinction in regard to salvation] neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you [who believe] are all one in Christ Jesus [no one can claim a spiritual superiority].

Well, those are my thoughts however the OP is quite common.

God is the father, not the mother.
Jesus is the son, not the daughter.
The Holy Spirit is referred to as "He".

Man was created first, in the image of God. Woman was created in the image of man (chai!).
The twelve disciples of Jesus were all men. None of the many 'cherished' women following Jesus was deemed worthy to be an apostle.
No single book in the bible was written by a woman.

Women are to keep quiet in church and 'submit' to their husbands.
The Catholic church hails Mary, the mother of Christ, but she would not be allowed to serve as a priest, bishop, or pope.
Religion gives real power to men here and now. Women get nothing but empty gestures and sweet words, at best.

Sir, I think you underestimate the place of women in the Christian faith. Jesus had 12 disciples, all male. Fine. But you should understand that God limits himself within any context and culture to reach the people of a particular tribe. Jesus had female disciples! But chose 12 men to be with him. Let's imagine if Jesus was in today's society (which is not even as patriarchal as the Jewish society then). Imagine Jesus having 6 personal male followers and 6 personal female followers. Can you imagine the adultery scandals that would be flying about?? Luke 8:1-3 proves that there were always women travelling with Jesus, not just His personal male followers.
Also one of the basics of our faith is in the resurrection of Christ. Women were the first to carry this testimony to the world. We are actually Christians because of the testimony of women.
Finally in the case of women "submitting" to their husbands. No woman is a lesser human being that any man according to my faith. But in the context of marriage, the role of women is to submit to their husbands who's role is to act as the head of the home. It doesn't make them a lesser human being. It is just creates orderliness in the home.

No, LIFE loves women more.
They generally have things easier because they are the gatekeepers of sex and most men would go to great lengths to have sex.
Not to belabor the point but,
Unmerited favors from randy men = Answers to prayer.

I disagree to the bold text



in the Apocrypha and deuteronican books there are some books written by women....

even the book of Esther is in the Bible, forgotten? Ruth?....

No God does not love women more. What is biblical is that God bestows special love upon His chosen people which comprise of men and women from all nations.

hahahahahahahahaha. Seun the Evangelist.

God loves them both equally. God never created man to rule over the woman, The Fall resulted to that. And. after Christ redirected, that was restored.

Let me ask you, when the Holy Spirit came down on the day of Pentecost, did he also come upon the women or only men?

The Holy Spirit in me now, is he lesser than that which is a man?
