No Longer Quivering
by Larry Solomon of Biblical Gender Roles – Why Does the Bible Make Me Feel Worthless as a Woman?
Editor’s note: Right now I am reading a bio on Charles Manson and all the things Larry is advocating could have come straight from the theology of Manson, for all his talk of glorying man.
Every human being is given a soul by God which inhabits our “vessel” which is the word the Scriptures often use to speak to our bodies. God made two types of vessels, one that is classified as the “weaker vessel” (I Peter 3:5) and thus the other by comparison is the stronger vessel. The souls of women inhabit the weaker vessel and the souls of men inhabit the stronger vessel.
But then we must understand that God did not arbitrarily make one vessel weaker than the other. He made one vessel stronger and one vessel weaker for a glorious purpose. The scriptures tell us that God made man to be his image bearer – to bring God glory by imaging him.
This passage of Scripture, which is part of a divinely inspired commentary on the Genesis account, tells us that God created man to bring him glory by imaging him. God then created woman from man to glorify man.
So how does a woman glorify her husband as God intended her too? By modeling what God desires from his Church in honoring, reverencing, submitting to and serving her husband as the Church is to serve Christ.
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.
