Q. Why is Jesus male? Are women less? Is it embarrassing to be a woman? Could you imagine how a lot of us as women feel? If he is not, why does every man act like God front of women and Bible support him? So why didn’t God just vanquish us? We are not deserve to live. Even God doesn’t want to be a woman. Please help, I am Orthodox Christian, but I’m just that close to lose my faith.
God had to come to earth either as a man or a woman. But even though Jesus was a man, he showed great respect for women. Jesus was born of a woman, and he was known for the respect that he showed his mother. Even on the cross, he made sure that she would be cared for after his death.
Jesus taught women at a time when the other rabbis refused to teach women. He said that the women who followed him were his sisters.
When Jesus rose from the dead, he appeared first to women. He told them to spread the good news of his resurrection. So Jesus chose women to be the first messengers about his resurrection.
Jesus protected women from abuses of the practice of divorce. He warned men not to look at women lustfully.
So if you are getting the impression that God does not value women, that is not coming from the teaching and example of Jesus. It is coming from men who are not following the teaching and example of Jesus. Pray for these men, that they will become more like the Savior they say they believe in.
But know that you as a women are created in God’s image. The Bible says of the creation of humans, “In the image of God he created them, male and female he created them.” So both men and women reflect the image of God. Jesus welcomes and values both men and women as his followers. He values you!
Good Question 
Women are a gift to men and have a special role to play in humanity. I’m glad to be a woman. It’s so amazing. The Bible says somewhere that we are all the same in spirit. Men and women aré completely equal in the eyes of God if that’s the case. For the purpose of creation and humanity He needs us to be different and that’s ok. We need both men and women and even though the women are the weaker vessel, we still need them in so many ways.
I am writing from Zambia. Thank you so much for answering this question very well. For a very long time, I struggled with the same question as to why men seem to be more important to God Almighty than women. But now I understand better, and I feel so good to be female. God loves all of us the same way and He can use any of us, be it male or female in a great way at any time. As it is written, God is very Great and yet He despises no one.
Thank you, and may the Grace of Jesus Christ continue to use you and cover you.
Warm regards,
Mercy.
I’m so glad this post was an encouragement to you. May God bless you as well!
A wise and thoughtful response. Throughout scripture, God calls himself our Father. Is it possible to have a Father without a mother?
I also note that the name ‘Elohim’ is a plural form of the word for God.
This would explain how a female body which is different inside and out from a male body, is ALSO made in the image of God.
Most importantly, all of us are loved ultimately by our Father in Heaven. He is just as eager to help and guide us each individually as anybody else. Ask Him to allow you to feel His love, and he will answer you with joy of His love.
