Feminism

What is the Christian view of femininity or how should Christian respond to feminism? You choose which one to answer.

Christians should respond to feminism with Biblical backup. In Genesis, God creates the male and female roles. He created females as the helper, completer, rescuer, and warrior. He creates the male as the "little king". God does not create these roles in order to make one sex inferior to the other. In fact, He creates these roles so each has there own role to fulfil. Man is the leader and feminism is attempting to make women equal and sometimes even higher than man when that is not how God created things to be. He made it very clear that man and woman were each to fulfil their own roles. A christian must respond to feminism with the God given roles in Genesis. Feminsism is attempting to put females in roles they can't and shouldn't fulfil. God made roles for a reason. There are certain things that males can't do that females can and vice versa. Feminism is simply wrong. God's roles don't make one sex more inferior than the other it simply separates different responsibilities so that we can further society for the better instead of all trying to have the same responibilities.

Sexist? Homophobic?

One of the charges frequently made against followers of Christ is that the church is sexist and homophobic. While there are some who this may be true off, how would you respond to the charge that the Bible teaches this?

A lot of Christians seem to be either sexist or homophobic when in reality for the most part that isn't the case. The Bible clearly states that marriage should be between a man and a woman but it also says that we should be accepting of those who go against what the Bible teaches us to do. Throughout Genesis the Bible clearly establishes the man/woman marriage roles. Furthermore, it never says anything about men or women being better than the other. Although Christians may seem to be either sexist or homophobic neither is prevelent in the Christian society.
