Pastors believe women must accept their God-ordained position: Paganism has entered the Church P/10

In a series of recent posts I have compared a statement from Pagan Greek Philospher Aristotle with statements from leading religious figures, ranging from Roman Catholic Church Fathers to Protestant Reformers to present day Pastors/Authors.

The statement of the Pagan Greek Philosopher Aristotle was as follows:

The man is by nature superior and the female inferior, and the one rules and the other is ruled.

 These posts have covered a period of many centuries. Yet one thing has become very clear: All these men, past and present, seem to have been influenced by past cultures in their view on the roles of men and women. This has caused them and still causes them to believe that women are inferior to men, if not in being, most certainly in function. Sadly their views have influenced the Church throughout the centuries to "keep women in their place" rather than allowing them to function in accordance with their God-given callings alongside men. My prayer is that through a thorough study of the word of God we may begin to recognise that God calls both men and women to serve alongside each other in accordance with their God-given giftings.
