Are men and women equal in God's eyes? Are men and women equally created in the image and likeness of God?

Yes they are. The most worthy/honoured are those who fear him most....however men are saddled with more responsibility making them above women on earth

No they are not... Bible clearly states that women are made for men and not men for women...
And that's even the new testament

Your bible clearly states that women are the property of men and your Christian god also evidently doesn't give a hoot about women as in the book of numbers chapter 5, God sanctions that under the law of jealousies a woman's belly should swell and her thigh shall rot if her husband under the influence of the spirit of jealousy suspects her of infidelity and brings her to the priest who curses a bitter water and tells her to drink it to prove her innocence lol. Be like ibo film.

Your very god idea, particularly the Abrahamic variant, introduced the despicable misogynistic and chauvinistic behaviors, into human experience.

This is one of the inherent evils in god idea, which is organized into religion.

women and men are equal as far as position before God and spiritual privilege are concerned.
note that equality of status does not involve identity of functions and responsibilities .
God had different function and responsibilities in mind for the man and for the woman. Both are important for the carrying out of His purpose.
God in his sovereignty assigned man to a place of special responsibility and gave to woman a role (genesis 2:18) COMPLIMENTARY to man .
superiority and inferiority were not involved: This is simply God's plan and order

Equality of status, but difference in function .

Dealing with the subject of headship, according to 1corintians 11:3,8,9 , the man is the head is just the position of leadership, it does not lower the value or worth of woman.
the role of a woman is to "help" she is to help the man fill his God appointed role( genesis1:28)

How does 'more responsibilities' make men superior over women?

Is it not true that without women there will be no men?

Do you really believe the Bible you quoted up there?

The Difference is clear.

The Difference is clear.

We may be different but are we equal in God's eyes?

OLAADEGBU:


We may be different but are we equal in God's eyes?

The Equality of Man and Woman in The Eyes of God is not for humans to worry about. God values us to live righteously before Him and leave further assessment and judgement of all humans to Him. We have an Advocate at The Throne of Grace in Heaven, Jesus Christ, The Righteous and He is The Propitiation for our Sins. So Man or Woman, God pleases Himself alone in using and reusing, storing, stocking, issuing and reissuing every human according to His Word(Plans) which was with Him at the Beginning.

No they are not, not according to the bible.. ..
"I permit no woman to teach or have authority over men; she is to keep silent." Timothy 2:11

This is the most often quoted version of this passage, but in The King James Bible, it goes a little bit more like this...

"Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection." which has been translated and taken as the primary passage that doesn't allow women to be preachers. The whole section is really about women not being able to "malign the word of God" if they're not allowed to speak.

Keep in mind the first "big bad" antagonist in The Bible is women, as a gender.
"But if she bear a maid child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her separation: and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying threescore and six days." (Leviticus 12:5)

People should hold signs that say "God Hates Women"

Women and men are not equal in the bible, for example in Exodus 21:7-8 "

"And in case a man should sell his daughter as a slave girl , she will not go out in the way that the slave men go out. If she is displeasing in the eyes of her master so that he doesn't designate her as a concubine but causes her to be redeemed, he will not be entitled to sell her to a foreign people in his treacherously dealing with her."

N:B:
Here in this verse we can see that fathers can easily and freely sell their daughters as slaves to other men.

don't tell me you don't read your bible

It is clear that men and women are not equal in bible, the very first woman is blamed for wrongdoing, but not the very first male.

1 Timothy 2:11-14

11 A woman[a] should learn in quietness and full submission. 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man;[b] she must be quiet. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.

johntredon:


don't tell me you don't read your bible

Do you believe it not to even mention whether you understanding it?

Deuteronomy 25:11-12 "And in case men struggle together (in a fight) with one another, and the wife of the one has come near to deliver her husband out of the striking one (to save her husband), and she has thrust out her hand and grabbed hold of his private (the other man's groin), she must then get both her hands cut off, and the eyes of the men must feel no sorrow.

You bother yourself with the constitution of another nation. The custom regulated in the passage you quoted seems to have been in the Jewish constitution that has been put place in order to keep inheritances distinct which it is now obsolete. Now before you go practising what is not your custom because of your thirst for blood, deal with how you treat women under Islam. Tell us whether the rights of the women in Islam as depicted below are now obsolete or not?

If the husband dies without impregnating the wife, then the "brother" of the dead husband MUST marry his wife. The female CANNOT marry anyone else, but ONLY her dead husband's brother (DEUTERONOMY 25:5).

N:B- In Christianity, the woman has NO CHOICE, but to marry her dead husband's brother. It is clear which religion is oppressing women.

If you want to know how Christians deal with their women then look unto Jesus who is the author and finisher of our faith.

Daughters inherit nothing when there are sons:

"If a man dies and leaves no son, turn his inheritance over to his daughter. Numbers 27:8

"And they said, The Lord commanded my lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by the Lord to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters" (Numbers 36:2).

If you had read a little bit further you would have discovered that the daughters of Zelophehad had been given an inheritance in the land of Manasseh because their father had no sons. Didn't I tell you not to comment on subjects you've got no clue about?

OLAADEGBU:
Are men and women equal in God's eyes? Are men and women equally created in the image and likeness of God?

This is how you know. The Holy Spirit given to women, is it the same given to men or the measure is more on men than women?

OLAADEGBU:

OP, I don't know if you are a Christian. But if you are then you should be grateful to a group of women for this. The basis of our faith lies in the testimony of women who were the first to take the news of the resurrection to the world. God saw it fit to reveal the revelation, first to women. Also read Gal 3: 26-28. So women are as important as men.

Leviticus 26:29
You will eat the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters.

Deuteronomy 28:53
Because of the suffering that your enemy will inflict on you during the siege, you will eat the fruit of the womb, the flesh of the sons and daughters the LORD your God has given you.
