Quote:The Christians thinking regarding women was She was a door to Shaytaan so much so she shouldn't even be married, They held that the women was unclean outside of the menses and that her status was that of subservency. They didn't show any concern for her in life or in death. This was an institution regarding women in Christian societies.
You are nuts.
<i>Ephesians 5...25Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, 27and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. 28In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church— 30for we are members of his body. 31"For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh."[c] 32This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. 33However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.</i>
<i>Colosians 3... 19Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.</i>
<i>1 Peter 3....7Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.</i>
