Jesus lived in culture that was patriarchal to the point of being near misogynous.
Everyday life on all points was based on hierarchy. But Jesus (I love those words "but Jesus")
went against the norms of patriarchal culture by treating women as persons equal with men. All
were invited to sit at His feet and learn from Him, men and women alike.
 
He showed equality in person (Jn 8:3-11) equality in marraige (Mt 8:1-11)
equality of social status (Jn 4:26, 39-42)
 
He projects God into the image of woman (Mt 23:37, Lk 13:34, Lk 15:8-10)
 
He rejected the notion of woman's role (Lk 10:38-42) rejects the cultural perception (lk 11:27-28)
 
And commissions the first apostle-a woman (Jn 10:10-18, Mt 28:1-10)
 
The Holy Spirit continued to advance the idea of equality of women by both men and women
participating in prayer and discisionmaking in the upper room (Acts 1:13-26)
 
The Spirit confirms Jesus' egalitarian pattern by women being equal participants of the
outpouring at Pentecost (Acts 2:1-4, 17-18)
 
Equality of marraige holds Ananias and Sapphira equally responsible (Acts 5:1-11)
 
Equally redeemed with the same ramifications (Acts 5:14)
 
in proclaimation and practise (Acts 17:34, 12:34 )
 
being responsible co-workers
(1 cor 16:16, Rom 16:1-16,19 , Phil 4:2-3)
 
While women also functioned in business ((Acts 16:14, Acts 17:32, Acts 18:2-3, Rom 16:1-2)
 
The image that has been projected is a false picture that a thorough reading of scripture
with unbiased eyes show.
