The Bible proves that God sees women as more excellent than men.
1. “Help meet” doesn’t mean support from an inferior. It means support from a superior.
2. “Cleaving” means the woman is the stable being (superior) and the man is the variable (in need).
3. Women were made from a more complex and excellent raw material.
4. God made woman second and better than man because God is about MORE.
5. Women’s brains have more connections than men’s brains and the result is behavior that is more Profitable.
6. Men are focused on the physical while women are focused on the spiritual
7. Women bear the proof of virginity
8. Women have been given the responsibility to determine who procreates.
9. Proverbs 31 proves women are more excellent because they are about OUGHT.
10. The end of the previous dispensation occurred because Zerubbabel proved that women were more excellent than men.
Now that we have the two main effects identified and understood, let’s take a moment and summarize everything we’ve learned with some powerful implications.
God’s Plan is Church and Marriage. God’s Will is that unique people would interact in their ARE (Church) in order to marry His Son.
Would God’s Plan result in a being less excellent than His Son? That Plan would be lacking. How can God create something that has the potential to be more excellent than Jesus? By making the being “female” while His Son is male. Again, the sex of the Beings is very important…
Tradition has hidden this truth from us by telling us women are less excellent than men!
However, the real damage from tradition can be summarized from the perspective of Leadership.
Tradition says there is a BOSS and everyone is accountable to the BOSS. The followers are essentially the possessions of the BOSS. The BOSS uses laws to require people to be accountable to him. These possessions are treated the same (uniqueness is denied) and their only reason for being is to facilitate the Purpose and Progress of the BOSS. If there is more than one BOSS, this system quickly fragments into separate groups, which reduces the potential for Profitability. We feel good about ourselves because we feel bad about someone else. Over the Long Term, everyone will end up isolated. This system is not sustainable.
The Bible refutes this perspective at every turn.
First, the Bible says that we are ONLY accountable to God:
“But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.” (Romans 14:10-13)
We aren’t supposed to judge others. We OUGHT to remind everyone they are accountable to God. The only thing we OUGHT to judge are actions within the Church that may cause believers to stumble…harm their progress.
When an individual recognizes she is accountable to God, a Being she will not be able to fool, she OUGHT to actively grow and remove blemishes. She OUGHT to seek out people she trusts and give these people permission to speak into her life for her Long Term benefit. The Bible calls this Fellowship.
The Leader would facilitate the Purpose and Progress of others because this is the ultimate way to be Profitable. This would cause the Leader to focus on ARE instead of HAVE and DO. The Leader would understand who God created the person to be and serve their Purpose and Progress. The Leader is a servant.
The Leader persuades the person through principles instead of laws. The Leader doesn’t approach the person with threats or begging. The Leader presents a reason (WHY) and a value. Principles focus on the objective and gives freedom to the uniqueness of the individual to determine HOW the objective is reached. Laws focus on HOW NOT to behave.
The Bible says we can ALL be Leaders! At the Last Supper, Jesus taught His disciples that they OUGHT to all be Leaders because they OUGHT to all serve each other. Actually, Jesus’ focus was who was quantitative. He spoke about who could be the “greatest”…and it was the one who served the most.
Notice, when people say you can’t have all Leaders and no followers, they are testifying they have bought into the man-made tradition instead of God’s Word. Remember what the Paul said in Ephesians when he described the Meaning of Life?
“Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.” (Ephesians 5:21-22)
The rest of this passage described the Marriage between Jesus and His bride. However, the verse before deals with the Church. We OUGHT to be submitting ourselves one to another within the Church. This means we OUGHT to serve each other…we OUGHT to ALL be leaders.
Notice, submitting is a voluntary act. It is an act of the will of the individual. It is actually an act that a “greater” does to a “lesser”. When a lesser gives in to a greater, this isn’t submitting. There is no choice involved.
Our ability to submit our will to God is proof God can’t initiate His Will over ours as a first cause. Our will is greater than His ability to do this. This would also be an additional proof that the Bible sees women as greater than men because it asks women to submit to men…it doesn’t ask men to submit to women.
This perspective would lead to unlimited Profitability. The key to this perspective is uniqueness. More specifically, it is the ability of each of us (even Jesus) to see someone else as more excellent than themselves in at least one area. This makes Fellowship possible. It is possible for you to surround yourselves with people who are more excellent than you for your benefit…AND for these SAME people to be surrounded by people who are more excellent than themselves for their benefit. We would feel good about ourselves because we feel good about someone else. This is sustainable. This could go on forever AND get better over time.
There is NO other explanation for an eternity that is sustainable and constantly getting better than what has been presented and explained in this work.
There is a root cause for everything. It is our only moral responsibility because everything is an effect of it. In the next chapter we will cover this root cause…
