Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. Ephesians 5:22-24 So we all agree! In the preponderance of New Testament teachings, not unlike in the Old, and, as in the Koran as well, women are not equal with men, but are, rather, subordinate, by which we mean lower in rank or position. |
That said we still have Galatians 3:28 which reads:
Quote:

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

The context here is Galatians chapter three where Paul has shown that Christ redeemed us from the law by being made a curse for us...that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. So what Paul asserts here is that ethnic distinctions, class distinctions, and gender distinctions have been crucified on the cross and therefore don't exist in Christ before God. We "are all one in Christ Jesus."
Anybody have a problem with that?
