Quoting Quiverfull: Only Men Are in the Image of God?

Quoting Quiverfull: Only Men Are in the Image of God? February 8, 2017

quotingquiverfullby Larry Solomon from Biblical Gender Roles – Is Donald Trump Making America Masculine Again?

Editor’s note: Larry is at it again, mixing Bible with his prejudices against women and stirring in a soupcon of politics. What must it be like to be so insecure in your own sexuality that you must constantly defend your gender norm ideals? He must be thrilled with the appointment of Steve Bannon.

The Bible is crystal clear – man, not woman is the direct image bearer of God.Β  This is not say that women do not also bare some attributes of God.Β  The common attributes of humanity that men and women share like self-awareness, emotions, free-will and creativity are part of the image of God.Β  But the masculine human nature was designed in the very image and likeness of God and the female human nature was designed to complement and help man to exercise is his duty as an image bearer.

God designed man to need to be the hero, the provider and protector.Β  So, man needed someone weaker than him, someone who would desire to be lead and desire to be provided for. So, God made woman to desire a leader, a provider and a protector. God knew that man would need someone to bare his children and to care for them.Β  So, he designed woman to naturally desire children and to naturally desire to care for them and nurture them. Β God designed men to desire beauty because he desires beauty. So, he made woman beautiful and he designed her to desire to make herself beautiful for man.

In summary – God made woman, including each and every one of her physical and psychological attributes for man as the Scriptures tell us.

QUOTING QUIVERFULL is a regular feature of NLQ – we present the actual words of noted Quiverfull leaders, cultural enforcers and those that seek to keep women submitted to men and ask our readers: What do you think? Agree? Disagree? This is the place to state your opinion. Please, let’s keep it respectful – but at the same time, we encourage readers to examine the ideas of Quiverfull and Spiritual Abuse honestly and thoughtfully.
