God created woman in the Bible to be a HELPER not subservient - and explain to me why it was a man made when it is the woman who has the children - kinda like which came first the chicken or the egg???? And remember that the Bible was written by men and not women. And why do we teach biology when the church has miracle appearance of a man and then put him to sleep and take a rib to make a woman. More likely the other way around.
“I WILL PROTECT WOMEN AT A LEVEL NEVER SEEN BEFORE. THEY WILL BE HEALTHY, HOPEFUL, SAFE, AND SECURE.”
I heard the word “protector” often growing up in the Texas Bible Belt, a place where churches outnumbered retail stores. While some white evangelicals believe in equality among sexes, most, including my church, pushed a concept known as complementarianism. It means men and women have different but complementary roles. Men are supposed to be the providers and protectors, while women are the nurturers and supporters.
The word that springs to mind is not protector — it’s predator.
Trump isn’t drawing his inspiration from the Bible — the man once referred to “Second Corinthians” as “Two Corinthians” — but white evangelicals have embraced Trump as a leader because he shares their vision that women are subservient.
Evangelicals are taught that God cursed Eve for tempting Adam to eat fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, making all women subordinate to men forever. Women’s main purpose became to “be fruitful and multiply,” filling the earth with children, while men’s role was to rule over women.
